Surgical guide
Dental surgical guide is a crucial tool used in implant dentistry to ensure precise and accurate placement of dental implants.
What Is a Surgical Guide?
- A surgical guide is created by taking impressions of the patient’s intraoral scan at the desired surgical implant site.
- It also involves using a computer-guided 3D implant planning system.
- The surgical guide replicates the exact surfaces of the patient’s oral anatomy, allowing the surgeon to drill implants into the bone with optimal accuracy.
- When placed on the patient’s jaw, the guide uses sleeves to guide the surgical instruments and implant to the correct location.
Advantages of Using a Surgical Guide

- Patient Comfort: Patients experience less pain, swelling, and shorter recovery times.
- Predictable Results: Consistent optimal implant placement leads to predictable patient care.
