Pre-operative actions1. Fit of the SurgiGuideVerify the fit of the SurgiGuide by carefully checking its position on a plaster model. Try toposition the SurgiGuide in the same way as the fit of the scan prosthesis on the model.Once the proper fit is determined, clinically evaluate the position and orientation of the drillingcylinders. During surgery, the cylinders within the SurgiGuide will transfer the pre-operativetreatment plan. It is therefore important to re-evaluate and confirm that your are satisfied withthe original pre-operative plan as well as its resulting transfer by the SurgiGuide.This visual inspection as well as the tactile sensation of determining the proper fit of theSurgiGuide on the model will facilitate the positioning of the SurgiGuide on the mucosa duringsurgery.Create a bite registration in an articulator to facilitate the repositioning of the SurgiGuide in themouth. To fixate the SurgiGuide during surgery, prepare the holes in the SurgiGuide atconvenient positions.2. Diameter of the cylindersConfirm the inner diameters of the drilling cylinders.Insert each drill, based on the requested drilling sequence, into the cylinders of thecustomized SurgiGuide.The inner diameters of the stainless steel cylinders are 0.1 to 0.3 mm larger than thediameters of the cutting surface of the drills.The deviation can be more significant when tapered/beveled drills are used.Note: If you decide to use a drill from a different implant manufacturer than that which youspecified in your SurgiGuide Order Form, be sure that it has the same diameter. Do NOT usea smaller diameter drill than specified for a drill guide cylinder as the angle deviation couldbecome unacceptably large.3. Decontamination / sterilizationDecontamination: use a disinfectant (i.e. chlorhexidine, betadine, etc.) or a sterilizing agentthat is approved for dental applications (check with the legal regulations in your country).Follow the recommendations of the manufacturer for disinfection or sterilization as you wouldfor other clinical devices.SURGICAL PROCEDURESSurgiGuide can be sterilized using γ-irradiation or EtO (conform EN552 and EN556respectively) or any other low temperature method (that conforms to the legal regulations inyour country). Do not autoclave or use any type of dry/steam heat sterilization.62www.SimPlant.comSurgiGuide Cookbook
