Abstract
A system and method for providing compact navigation-based surgical guide for dental implant surgery is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a surgical guide system comprise includes a surgical guide comprising having a tracking marker. The surgical guide is fabricated to be custom fitted to a patient's mouth or jawbone. The tracking marker is placed at an implant site according to a virtual implant plan. A sensor placed on a drill piece detects electromagnetic signals that are used to determine the position of the tracking marker. A computer in communication with the sensor processes the tracking marker data received from the sensor, determines a relative position of the drill piece with respect to the tracking marker, and provides real-time tracking of the drill piece on the display of the computer.
