• Hı everyone,I couldnt understand aim of these blue lines.Can you explain further?

    • The blue lines on a stacked implant guide are like the dimple on BioHorizons implants, they serve a similar purpose—they help ensure the implant is placed in the correct orientation, a process called “timing.” These markers act as guides to align the implant properly in the bone, ensuring that the connection where the crown or restoration… Read more
