A toothsupportedSurgiGuide is based on the tooth set-up visible in a plaster model. This is neededto guarantee a stable and unique fit in the patient’s mouth. The plaster model shouldrepresent the tooth set-up as it will be at the time of surgery.A good definition of the teeth and mucosa surface in the plaster model, combined with theimplant treatment plan made in the SimPlant planning software is the basic principle of thetooth-supported SurgiGuide.Pre-operative actions1. Fit of the SurgiGuideVerify the fit of the SurgiGuide by carefully checking its positioning on the plaster model. Bythe uniqueness of the teeth surface of each patient, a unique and stable fit can bedetermined. In some situations, combined support on teeth and mucosa may be necessaryfor a unique and stable fit.SURGICAL PROCEDURESOnce 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 you 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 teeth duringsurgery.67www.SimPlant.comSurgiGuide Cookbook
