What is Surgical Guide for Implant Surgery?

 

 

 

 

Dental implants are one of the treatment

methods to restore tooth function

by placing implant fixture (artificial roots)

that replace natural teeth when teeth are

damaged by tooth decay or

gum inflammation or when they are lost

due to an accident.

 

 

 

 

Dental implants should be placed

in the correct position and operated safely

to avoid touching the blood vessels or

nerves. It may not be a problem right now,

but it's often a problem after a while.

 

In order to achieve a successful

final treatment outcome, a position at least

equivalent to the maximum deviation of

the implant placement is necessary.

At S-PLANT Dental hospital,

3D CT scanning and digital intraoral

impressions are used to generate a virtual

representation of the patient’s jaw and

oral anatomy in guided surgery cases.

This is utilized to develop a digital

treatment plan in which the exact position

of the implant is determined in advance

of treatment.

 

 

 

 

A surgical guide is fabricated that controls

the osteotomy in precise accordance

with the preplanned implant position.

The depth, angulation, and mesial-distal

and buccal-lingual location of the implant

osteotomy are precisely controlled

by titanium sleeves situated within the

surgical guide. The superior level of

accuracy afforded by this approach

makes it ideal in situations where there are

concerns related to bone volume and

the proximity of vital patient anatomy

such as the inferior alveolar nerve,

sinus and neighboring teeth. In cases of

narrow ridges or other instances of limited

anatomical space, guided surgery simplifies

the task of situating the implant within

the available bone.

 

 

However, this approach is considered

highly technique sensitive and requires

expert dental implant team for its execution.

Careful selection of cases, proper treatment

plan and follow-up of surgical and prosthetic

protocols are the keys to success.
