FAQs
Find answers to frequently asked questions about Micronmapper and Navident precision dentistry tools.
What is Navident EVO?
Navident EVO is a navigation system that guides dentists during surgeries, similar to how a GPS helps drivers. It improves accuracy and safety in dental procedures.
What is MicronMapper?
MicronMapper is a special camera that takes detailed 3D pictures of your teeth and gums. This helps dentists plan and perform treatments more precisely.
How does Navident EVO work?
Navident EVO uses a 3D model of your mouth created from a CBCT scan. During surgery, it tracks the dentist's tools and shows their position on a screen, helping the dentist stay on the planned path.
How does MicronMapper improve dental procedures?
MicronMapper captures detailed 3D images of your mouth, allowing for more accurate planning and treatment, especially for implants and full-arch restorations.
What type of scans does Navident EVO use?
Navident EVO uses CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scans to create detailed 3D models of your mouth.
What does Navident mean for the dental surgeon?
Navident provides accuracy and predictability of the surgical outcome, preceded by a clear and continuous monitoring and guidance of the surgical procedure. The resulting accuracy and safety help the surgeon stay more confident and calmer during the procedure, knowing they are providing their patients with a proven, cutting-edge dentistry.
What does Navident mean for the dental patient?
Clarity of the surgical plan which can be shared with the patient on the dental screen, while instilling more confidence in the patient, knowing their surgeon uses a safe and predictable top technology for the improvement of their wellbeing.
How long has Navident been in business?
Navident itself is in business since 2014, when the first systems (UNO) came out on the market, but the knowledge, innovativeness and creativity leading to its inception and continuous development have been there a long time before, with the development of our proprietary MT cameras and medical imaging software.
What is dynamic navigation?
Dynamic navigation system (DNS) allows for presurgical planning and intraoperative guidance based on 3D renderings generated from preoperative imaging studies (namely – CT or CBCT). The exact locations of the surgical instrument and the patient’s jaw are tracked and displayed on a monitor to guide surgeries in real time (from the web).
What is photogrammetry?
Photogrammetry technology calculates the position and orientation of multiple implant interfaces quickly, efficiently, and accurately. It is the most accurate digital method to determine dental implant positioning for multiple implants, especially with full arch cases. It’s main dental use is in full arch cases, due to the need to get a passive fit of the denture on the implants.
How does Navident calibrate its system?
Navident’s MT4 camera is calibrated in the factory, and the user is reminded by the system to recalibrate it every six months, using a simple, 5 minutes process, in the office. This calibration is required also when the system has been subjected to a shock or other physical stress.
What training is available for Navident EVO?
We offer hands-on training at our Toronto facility and provide in-office training when you.
Is remote support available for Navident EVO and MicronMapper?
Yes, we offer remote support to help with any issues, software updates, and guidance on procedures.
What is the benefit of using MicronMapper?
(provides more accuracy, pull out the exact numbers). It also significantly decreases chairtime needed, which contributes to more time savings. More confidence in accuracy also reduces the amount of remakes, which can be very costly!
What type of computer do I need to run MicronMapper software?
You are not required to purchase a new gaming laptop for handling MM software.
Scanbodies are not being recognized by MicronMapper software
Each set of scanbodies has a unique pattern that needs to be imported into MicronMapper software. Scanbodies' geometry file is supplied on a separate USB stick. Please note that if you purchase a new set of scanbodies, new geometries need to be imported into the software to ensure proper recognition.
Scanbodies cannot be seen all at once. How do I scan the case?
With our algorithms you can scan a few and then add the additional scan by referencing the new relative scanbody position to the old one. Please consult with the manual for exact steps or call us to get support!
How do I process MicronMapper software output data?
Next step would be to import the data into your CAD software as either "implant position" or "scanbody scan", depending on the exact parameters of CAD software used. After the import is complete, you can continue to designing the restoration.
What CAD software can I utilize to finish my restoration with MicronMapper?
As MicronMapper is not closed system, you can use any open CAD software that will accept STL files.
How do I find the right library for designing prosthetics?
Depending on your needs, you may find the original library for MicronMapper scanbodies or export different scanbodies directly from MicronMapper software.
I scanned the case but would like to use different prosthetic parts. What should I do?
MicronMapper software has functionality of exporting different types of scanbodies, according to your needs. Simply change the export STL, or give us a call for validation.
What training is available for Navident EVO?
We offer hands-on training at our Toronto facility and provide in-office training when you purchase Navident EVO.
Is remote support available for Navident EVO and MicronMapper?
Yes, we offer remote support to help with any issues, software updates, and guidance on procedures.
How can I buy Navident EVO or MicronMapper?
You can contact us through our website or talk to your local dealer. We also offer financing options.
Why should I upgrade from Navident UNO to EVO?
Upgrading to Navident EVO gives you better tracking, more accuracy, and new features like real-time feedback and advanced 3D imaging.
What financing options are available for Navident EVO?
We offer various financing options to make it easier for dental practices to acquire Navident EVO. Contact us for more details.
How does photogrammetry work in MicronMapper EVO?
Our latest MMEVO uses the same camera for both Navigational Surgery and Photogrammetry, which makes it 2-in-1 piece!
What is the benefit of having MMEVO?
By getting an MMEVO, you can easily switch between Navigational Surgery and Photogrammetry much faster, more convenient, and cheaper.
What is the difference between MMEVO and MicronMapper?
The only differences you will see are the camera (Built-in for Navident or separate device) and scanbody sizes (a little larger for MMEVO). Otherwise, they share the same characteristics.
I have a MicronMapper/Navident but would like to upgrade myself for MMEVO. What are the options?
We surely have a few options for you. Reach out to us to discuss your update!
Can I use my MicronMapper scanbodies for MMEVO?
Our MMEVO is designed in a way to have a dedicated set of scanbodies that are physically different, and you will be provided with a new set of scanbodies that will work with your new MMEVO system.
How do Snap-on scanbodies work?
Our newly released 2-piece scan bodies can be easily used not just for Photogrammetry, but also for IOS. First, you screw-in titanium part and snap the plastic part on top, taking the scan with MMEVO. You can then remove the peek part and take IOS with our titanium bases, which will then be used in CAD software for designing prosthetics. Keep in mind, those titanium screw-in parts are also helpful to cut some residual tissue left.
