Surgical Guide

Indications

Guides the surgical placement of dental implants with precision.

Contraindications

Cases lacking CBCT or accurate intraoral scans for digital merging
Patient anatomy not compatible with secure guide support (e.g., severely resorbed ridges or full edentulism without stable support)

Limitations

Accuracy varies by support type
Static guides don't allow intraoperative adjustment
Requires clinician familiarity with digital workflows and guide seating protocol

Preparation

Requires CBCT and intraoral scan merge to produce a prosthetic-driven implant plan with optimal angulation, depth, and emergence profile. Scan bodies and stabilization features ensure accuracy during registration
