The Navigator® System
for Guided Surgery
Proprietary Technology for Accurate Guided Surgery
Take the complexity and inaccuracies out of guided surgery for T3® Pro, T3 and Osseotite® Implants.
Accelerate Implant Treatment
ZimVie Dental’s Navigator System for Guided Surgery accelerates patient provisionalization for both full-arch and single-unit cases.1,2
Benefits
A key benefit of using the Tapered Navigator System is the option to use the surgical guide to create a preoperative master cast and a fixed provisional restoration in the laboratory prior to the day of implant surgery.
Open Architecture Software Compatibility: Users have the flexibility to choose the planning software and guide manufacturer that best meets their needs.
Variable Prolongation: Optimize the vertical space needed to perform guided dental implant surgery in situations that inherently require longer instrumentation or when working with limited interdental space.
Easy-to-Identify Instrumentation and User-Friendly Kit Layout: Simplify the process for the clinician and staff.
Comprehensive Surgical and Restorative Guidelines: Facilitate the ability to provide a guided solution throughout the entire process, from treatment plan all the way to provisional restoration.
Surgical Flexibility: Available for ZimVie Dental Certain and Prevail Tapered and Parallel Walled Implants.

Features
Navigator System can provide the accuracy with four levels of guided control
From flapless procedures using tissue-supported or tooth borne guides to bone-supported guides, the Navigator System can provide the accuracy needed to confidently deliver implant treatment to your patients with four levels of guided control:
Angulation for improved restorative outcomes - All instrumentation is diameter specific and designed to work with the exact dimensions of ZimVie Dental Certain and Prevail® Implants and Navigator Master Tubes to provide accurate control of instrument and implant angulation.
Depth control for security when working near vital anatomy - Drills are depth specific with definitive depth stops for precise osteotomy preparation. There is no need for adjustable depth control measures, loops, calipers, or to search for the correct line.
Hex orientation for immediate provisionalization - Allows the laboratory to pour a preoperative master cast and orient the implant analogs as the implants will be positioned on the day of surgery to support immediate provisionalization.
Position for soft-tissue maintenance - Provides accuracy of pre-planning and implant placement for appropriate implant spacing in multiple-unit cases and with neighboring dentition, while supporting the option of minimally invasive (flapless) surgery as well as the delivery of a laboratory-made provisional prosthesis immediately following implant placement.
Increased Communication
In addition to its accuracy and control, the beauty of the Navigator System is that it includes both a Surgical Kit and a Laboratory Kit, which facilitates increased communication amongst the entire implant treatment team.
The comprehensive yet intuitive kits smartly put the necessary instrumentation at your fingertips.
Navigator Master Tubes
One of the most important features of the Navigator System is the OEM Master Tubes. They are developed specifically to provide instrument guidance and depth control, and are held to extremely tight tolerances for system accuracy.
Professional Insights
The Navigator System for Guided Surgery has been developed to improve clinicians’ ability to plan and implement implant placement with greater accuracy and precision.1,2
Dr. John Sisto, Park Ridge, IL
“The Navigator System can save time as compared to traditional surgical procedures. I find that it reduces treatment time, which provides a more efficient use of chair time. The process is very convenient for my patients.”
Dr. Richard Mecall, Las Vegas, NV
“With the Navigator System, I now have the option to deliver the provisional prosthesis immediately after surgery. Patients can be more willing to accept treatment knowing they can go home the same day with the smile they came in for.”
Dr. Dietmar Sonnleitner4, Salzburg, Austria
“Some cases are like threading a needle. With the Navigator System, I can execute the plan accurately with greater confidence.”
Richard Napolitano4, Smithfield, RI
“The precision interface of the components in the Navigator Laboratory Kit is remarkable. Being able to create the ideal provisional before surgery means I can take the time to do it right and know it is exactly what the doctor and the patient are expecting.”
