ZimVie Launches RealGUIDE CAD and FULL SUITE Software Modules

ZimVie Inc. has debuted its RealGUIDE CAD and FULL SUITE modules in the United States. The latest innovations within ZimVie’s digital dentistry software platform, the CAD (computer-aided design) module introduces advanced software for restorative design and manufacturing, allowing for detailed and sophisticated implant and tooth restoration. The FULL SUITE module ties the CAD module to RealGUIDE’s existing Plan, App, and Guide modules, creating a seamless workflow across the ZimVie digital dentistry platform, providing a one-stop solution for a user’s surgical and restorative design needs.

“The release of our CAD module and its integration with our FULL SUITE marks a turning point for digital dentistry,” ZimVie Dental President/Senior Vice President Indraneel Kanaglekar said. “Our digital platform helps users streamline dental practices and labs of all sizes, which can help contribute to successful patient outcomes and provide the foundation for future digital workflow innovations in the ZimVie dental portfolio.”
 
The RealGUIDE CAD module and FULL SUITE offering is being unveiled today in Chicago, and will be introduced to the European market next month at the International Dental Show (IDS) in Cologne, Germany. 
 
The new CAD module dramatically simplifies the restorative digital workflows by providing solutions for all restorative indications in a single software environment. The module guides users through a new seamless user interface with intuitive icons and wizards, allowing users to start with a generic restoration and specify further details during design. This, together with proprietary new free-form tools, gives users the freedom to visualize and modify a design in ways analogous to traditional dental tools. Even the most complex dental structures can be modeled in a single approach. In addition, RealGUIDE is cloud-licensed, eliminating users’ need for owning and managing physical software dongles.

The FULL SUITE offering combines the CAD, Plan, App, and Guide modules within a single environment, together forming a completely integrated system that includes collaborative implant planning, guided surgery, and restorative design. This is the only solution involving the full digital dentistry team through cloud and mobile technology, providing immediate loading management from the creation of the digital wax-up to the definitive prosthesis.
 
The introduction of the RealGUIDE CAD module and FULL SUITE offering follows the launch of the RealGUIDE Sandbox feature first introduced in June 2022—an impactful tool used to simplify workflows and create customized environments with individual protocols and libraries. Sandbox technology is an integrated “mesh editor” that allows users to easily design objects, customize prostheses, generate geometric primitives, and more.
 
ZimVie develops, manufactures, and delivers products and solutions designed to treat a wide range of spine pathologies and support dental tooth replacement and restoration procedures. The company was founded in March 2022 as an independent, publicly traded spin-off of the Dental and Spine business units of Zimmer Biomet Holdings Inc. From its headquarters in Westminster, Colo., and additional facilities globally, the company serves customers in more than 70 countries with an offering of dental and spine solutions including differentiated product platforms supported by extensive clinical evidence.
