Dental implant treatment requires careful planning to achieve predictable and precise clinical outcomes. From reviewing patient imaging to determining implant positioning and preparing a surgical guide, each stage of the workflow needs to be coordinated effectively.
AxisGuide® software is designed to simplify this process by bringing imaging, implant planning, and CAD/CAM capabilities into an intuitive digital workflow. Developed in collaboration with dental professionals, AxisGuide® provides interactive tools designed around the practical needs of dental practitioners. AxisGuide_UniversalGuide_Presen…
What Is AxisGuide® Software?
AxisGuide® is an imaging, implant planning, and CAD/CAM software solution designed to support dental professionals throughout the implant planning workflow.
Its interface is designed to be straightforward and user-friendly, while providing interactive planning tools for dental procedures. By combining imaging, implant planning, and CAD/CAM functionalities, the software is intended to help streamline the digital workflow from patient evaluation through surgical guide planning. AxisGuide_UniversalGuide_Presen…
For dental professionals adopting computer-guided implantology, having these capabilities within a connected workflow can make the planning process easier to manage.
How Does AxisGuide® Simplify Implant Planning?
Traditional implant treatment planning can involve multiple steps, files, and tools. AxisGuide® brings key planning functions into a single software environment, helping practitioners work through the digital planning process in an organized way.
The software supports workflows involving patient imaging and digital impressions, which can then be used for implant planning and surgical guide preparation.
The AxisGuide® workflow presented by ANPA Medical Supplies includes patient evaluation, obtaining a CBCT and impression, uploading the required files through the portal, receiving the treatment planning, and reviewing and validating the plan using AxisGuide® software.

AxisGuide® Pro vs. AxisGuide® Plan
AxisGuide® is available in two configurations, allowing dental professionals to use the functionality suited to their workflow.
AxisGuide® Pro
AxisGuide® Pro has both the Image and Plan modules activated. It is designed to allow users to import CT scans and perform implant planning.
This makes the Pro configuration suitable for workflows where imaging and implant planning are handled within the software. AxisGuide_UniversalGuide_Presen…
AxisGuide® Plan
AxisGuide® Plan has the Plan module activated and is intended for planning implants and ordering surgical guides.
For dental professionals who already have their imaging workflow established and primarily need implant planning and surgical guide ordering capabilities, this provides a more focused configuration. AxisGuide_UniversalGuide_Presen…
From Digital Patient Data to Surgical Guide
One of the key benefits of the AxisGuide® workflow is that implant planning can be connected to surgical guide design and fabrication.
For partial cases, the presentation identifies CBCT or Spiral CT together with an STL file generated from either a plaster cast or intraoral scan as the required digital information. AxisGuide_UniversalGuide_Presen…
Once the patient information and required files are available, the workflow involves:
1. Patient Evaluation
The patient is evaluated and the required CBCT and impression are obtained. The impression can be captured using an intraoral scanner or conventional impression technique to create an STL file.
2. Order Through the Portal
The practitioner logs into the ordering portal, enters the case details, and uploads the CBCT and STL files.
3. Implant Planning
The treatment planning is provided, with the presentation stating that it is received in less than 24 hours. The practitioner can then review the plan using AxisGuide® software and validate it. AxisGuide_UniversalGuide_Presen…
4. Surgical Guide Design
After the implant plan is finalized, the surgical guide design is created. The surgeon can review the guide design when required before validation. AxisGuide_UniversalGuide_Presen…
5. Fabrication
Following approval, the surgical guide can either be fabricated by the provider or, depending on the selected workflow, the STL design can be exported for local fabrication. AxisGuide_UniversalGuide_Presen…
Designed for Different Surgical Guide Workflows
AxisGuide® also supports different surgical guide approaches. According to the presentation, the AxisGuide® Surgical Guide can accommodate different implant systems, with options including MultiDrill, UniDrill, and brand-specific guides. AxisGuide_UniversalGuide_Presen…
The UniDrill Guide is designed for surgeons who prefer to continue using their existing drilling system. The presentation describes 2 mm narrow cylinders and different drill lengths, providing information related to bone impact, angulation, and drilling length. AxisGuide_UniversalGuide_Presen…
The MultiDrill system provides five guide diameters—2 mm, 2.85 mm, 3.25 mm, 3.70 mm, and 4.25 mm—and is described as supporting implants ranging from 2.5 mm to 5 mm in diameter. AxisGuide_UniversalGuide_Presen…
Supporting a More Connected Digital Workflow
The value of digital implant planning is not simply about having planning software. It is also about connecting the different stages of treatment planning.
AxisGuide® combines imaging, implant planning, and CAD/CAM functionality within its overall workflow. This allows the process to move from patient data and imaging to implant planning, surgical guide design, and fabrication.
The workflow can also be adapted depending on how the dental professional wants to handle guide fabrication. ANPA Medical Supplies describes both a “We Plan, We Design, We Fabricate” model and a “We Plan, We Design, You Fabricate” model, where the approved surgical guide design is supplied as an STL file for local fabrication.
