Surgical guides in implant dentistry increases the predictability of treatment outcomes. In the past, implant placement routinely occurred by freehand, but this technique heightens the risk of damage to anatomic structures.
Surgical guides give clinicians more confidence to accurately place implants in every case. Precision surgery reduces stress, decreases liability, and leads to a better outcome for the patient.
Used for the initial drill only to ensure the accurate position and inclination of the implant. The rest of the placement procedure is completed freehand.
Usually fabricated for single implant placement or partially edentulous patients. Easily reproducible landmarks (teeth) are used for retention and support.
Gaining its main support and retention from the mucosa, the tissue supported guides are commonly fabricated based on existing removable prosthesis.
Usually used for edentulous patients, this type of guide gains its support from the load bearing areas or the divergence of the alveolar ridge.
An innovation to the bone reduction guide industry, the Anatomic Guide ™ is 360Imaging’s breakthrough in the world of implant dentistry. It reduces the working time for full arch reconstruction surgeries as low as 2 hours. 75% smaller in size than a regular surgical guide and 3 times stronger, the Anatomic Guide ™ offers unique physical properties that make it the best bone reduction guide on the market. Only a buccal flap is required for the full seating of the Anatomic Guide ™ with maximum visibility and easy irrigation.
