    • A replacement cartridge will be sent with every guide purchase.

  • 50ml VPS Dispensing Gun

    • Fully compatible with the provided VPS material.

  • 6 Mixing Tips

    • Designed for efficient use with the heavy body impression material.

    • 3 replacement mixing tips will be included with every guide purchase

  • Comprehensive Workflow Guide

    • Detailed instructions for tray selection, impression technique, CBCT scanning, and exporting DICOM files.

    • Includes walkthroughs and instructions for using all of our guides.

  • One-on-One Zoom Consultation

    • Personalized session with our founder and designer Michael Gimotty II to ensure successful case setup and to answer any technical or clinical questions.

Why Choose This Kit?

  • No Intraoral Scanner Needed: Achieve digital precision without the cost or learning curve of IOS technology.

  • Designed by Dentists: Every case is designed by Michael Gimotty III, a licensed dentist pursuing specializing in endodontics.

  • Buying into our Workflow: Each guide purchased will include replacements for the used materials included in our starter kit. Our goal is for your only long-term purchase after the starter kit is for all of your guides, not on replenishing your impression trays, VPS impression material, or mixing tips.

  • Optimized for CBCT Integration: Each tray and material has been selected to ensure clear, reproducible CBCT data for guide design.

Endo Guides Starter Kit Workflow

Our Starter Kit is designed to streamline your CBCT-guided workflow for access and apicoectomy guides. Please follow the steps below carefully to ensure the best possible results.

1. Selecting the Correct Impression Tray

The Starter Kit includes three specialized tray designs to ensure optimal fit and marker placement:

  • Anterior Tray:
    For canine-to-canine impressions, both maxillary and mandibular.

  • Posterior Tray – Upper Left / Lower Right:
    For premolars and molars on the upper left or lower right.

  • Posterior Tray – Lower Left / Upper Right:
    For premolars and molars on the lower left or upper right.

Each tray includes fiduciary markers strategically placed in the vestibule to enable accurate merging of DICOM files from a small field of view (FOV) scan. However, we recommend using a larger FOV when possible to fully capture the impression and all markers—especially helpful during patient positioning.

2. Making the Impression

Once your Starter Kit arrives and the patient is seated:

  1. Load the selected tray with the included heavy-body VPS material.

  2. For apicoectomy guides, it's critical to capture the full vestibule. After loading the tray, dispense additional material directly into the vestibule before seating it in the patient’s mouth.

  3. The VPS material sets fast:

    • Working Time: 1 minute

    • Setting Time: 1 minute

  4. After setting, carefully remove the impression to verify its accuracy.

Note: If the patient has significant diastemas, undercuts, or a complex vestibular anatomy, reseating the impression may be difficult. In these cases, leave the impression in place and proceed directly to the first CBCT scan.

3. Taking the CBCT Scans (2 Total)

First Scan: Patient Wearing the Impression

  • Position the patient with the impression tray fully seated.

  • Use normal scanning intensity settings.

  • A larger FOV is recommended to accommodate positioning and ensure capture of the full tray and markers.

  • After scanning, scroll through the volume to verify that at least 2–3 fiduciary markers are clearly visible (they will appear very radiopaque).

Second Scan: Impression Only

  • Remove the impression and place it face-up (intaglio side up) on your CBCT scanner’s dedicated scanning plate.

  • If no scanning plate is available, you may:

    • Place the impression on foam or a stable platform

    • Secure it with clear tape to the bite block or similar apparatus

  • Use lowest intensity settings for accuracy

  • Again, scroll through the scan to confirm that all fiduciary markers are clearly visible and the full impression is captured.

4. Exporting the Scans

  • Export both CBCT scans in DICOM format only. This is the required format for us to design your guide.

  • After purchasing your Access Guide or Apicoectomy Guide, you'll receive:

    • A secure encrypted upload link

    • A lab script to complete with case details

5. Design & Fabrication Timeline

  • Once we receive your DICOM files and lab script:

    • You will receive a custom guide design via email within 3 business days.

    • After approval, the guide will be sent to our 3D printing lab.

    • The final printed guide will arrive within 7 business days of design approval.
