Surgical Procedure1. Decision on the procedureDepending on the amount of keratinized tissue you can choose between punching themucosa or raising a flap.When working through the mucosa, position the <strong>SurgiGuide</strong> on the patient's jaw and mark(needle or methylene blue) the entry point of each implant on the gingiva through the<strong>SurgiGuide</strong>.Remove the <strong>SurgiGuide</strong> and use a punch to cut out a cylinder of mucosa for each plannedimplant. If punching can be done through the <strong>SurgiGuide</strong>, it is not necessary to remove theguide.Remark: If the <strong>SurgiGuide</strong> is completely tooth-supported, and no additional mucosa supportis needed to stabilize the <strong>SurgiGuide</strong>, the surgeon might decide to make a crestal incisionand raise mucoperiosteal flaps on the vestibular and lingual/palatal side to have a bettervisibility.2. Positioning of the <strong>SurgiGuide</strong>Correct positioning of the <strong>SurgiGuide</strong> in the patient’s mouth is essential, in order to accuratelytransfer the pre-operative treatment plan. This requires the <strong>SurgiGuide</strong> to fit in a unique andstable position.Try to retrieve the unique position which was found when fitting the guide on the model preoperatively.If for any reason, it is not possible to obtain a unique and stable fit, the accuracy of the guidecannot be guaranteed. As a result, the recommendation would be to not use the <strong>SurgiGuide</strong>and to revert to the standard surgical procedure.Do not exert excessive pressure on the guide. Minimizing the amount of pressure will preventthe guide from breaking.3. First drillBased on the drilling sequence, a series of customized <strong>SurgiGuide</strong> are produced toaccommodate the specified diameters of each drill.For the first drill, begin with the <strong>SurgiGuide</strong> that contains the smallest stainless steel cylinders,or fit the <strong>SurgiGuide</strong> with the correct drilling cylinders.Hold the guide down in the middle or on each of the two ends to prevent it from tilting orshifting. Maintain the guide’s position on the jaw during the drilling process.SURGICAL PROCEDURESFig. 2: Drilling guided by <strong>SurgiGuide</strong>69www.SimPlant.com<strong>SurgiGuide</strong> <strong>Cookbook</strong>
