We work to deliver the new generation of implants according to the highest quality and regulatory standards.
This project aims to improve the entire implant design workflow from the scanning of a patient to the placement of (jaw) implants. That means adapting the whole process under ISO 13485, with the use of improved design steps which will lead to fewer errors and failures and better feedback to both doctor and patient. The design process will also be further digitized and optimized. This is done by building a ‘digital twin’ of the patient in which all relevant properties and parameters are included and can be incorporated into the implant design. This way of working should allow more patient-specific solutions, safer and better for a larger group of patients in the Northern region.
Expected results:
The project is a collaboration between the UMCG Oral and Maxillofacial Department, the UMCG 3D Lab and the companies WITEC and BAAT Medical. To know about the partners, please visit the page Partners.
