Fiduciary markers: accuracy and reliability of scans for full restorations
Fiduciary Markers have proven to be an essential development in synchronizing intraoral scans, especially in Full Arch Restorations. This new product has been designed to provide a precise method to accurately align the implant with the soft tissue scan, even in complex procedures such as photogrammetry.
What is a fiduciary marker?
A Fiduciary Marker is a self-tapping marker made of titanium V ELI (Grade 23) that is temporarily placed in the maxilla or mandible, either anteriorly or posteriorly. Once inserted, it acts as a constant reference point that facilitates the seamless link between implant and soft tissue scans, providing a comprehensive view of the patient's clinical status.
This marker is particularly useful in full rehabilitations of edentulous patients, where accuracy in the planning and execution is critical to the success of the treatment.
Clinical advantages
Seamless scan synchronization
Thanks to its scan-optimized design, the fiduciary marker makes it possible to combine images of the implant and soft tissue to a high degree of precision. This results in the optimal configuration of both the implant and gingival contour.
Ideal for photogrammetry
In complex digital procedures, such as photogrammetry, these markers act as visual guides for reliable and error-free alignment of the captured data.
Easy to install
They can be easily inserted using a Unigrip® screwdriver in a handpiece, facilitating incorporation into the clinical routine without the need for special tools.
