In my opinion Computer Navigation allows more accurate implant placement than both Visionaire and traditional techniques. Not all hospitals are able to purchase or lease or borrow a navigation machine so Visionaire can be a bridge to better implant placement in this setting. The disadvantage of Visionaire is the Cost of Fabricating the Custom blocks ($1200) is not reimbursed to the facility so it may be a budget breaker.Stefan D.
