Tooth Supported SurgiGuideFor partially endentulous patientsA tooth supported SurgiGuide is a custom manufactured drill guide made for a unique andstable fit on the remaining teeth and guides the drill exactly to the planned position even ifonly 1 tooth is missing. Teeth supported SurgiGuide are indicated for surgery on partiallyedentulous patients.Minimal invasive surgeryThe teeth supported SurgiGuide are perfect for minimal invasive surgery. Since all theplanning has been done on beforehand, and the bone has been evaluated extensively, it isnot necessary to make a bone flap to insert the drill and the implants. A small punched holethrough the mucosa is enough to position the implants accurately.Plaster cast of pre surgical tooth situation is needed to circumvent harm from scatter onCT imagesThe user needs to send a plaster cast of the pre surgical tooth situation to Materialisetogether with the SimPlant plan. Materialise will use both information to produce an accurateSurgiGuide that fits onto the teeth in a unique and stable way, and that transfers the implantplanning into the real surgery. This procedure allows scatter in the CT images from teethfillings or brackets. (Cf. requirements of a plaster cast p. 49)How to use the SurgiGuide?Based on a plaster model, the tooth Supported SurgiGuide will fit exactly on the teeth andgums of your patient. As such, it accommodates for minimal invasive surgery. Using theSurgiGuide makes it possible to open op the gum in when the implant sites are neighboredby teeth at both sides, using the SurgiGuide opening the gum will not be a problem. In distalareas it is recommended to keep the flaps as minimal as possible and unilateral, to avoidbending of SurgiGuide.26www.SimPlant.comSurgiGuide Cookbook
