Introduction:
Companies selling dental implant guided systems mostly offer similar surgical guides. The purpose of this paper is to present an innovative-guided surgery system which originality lies in its guidance device, and to report the author's experience in using this system for dental implant surgery.
Technical Protocol:
Two parallel tubes on either side of the drilling axis guide the successive drills and the implant placement. As a result of the lateral guidance, there is no friction of the drills on the surgical guide, which would damage it or contaminate the drilling hole with particles torn out from the guide. No radiological guide is needed during the radiographic examination stage. No successive diameter reduction tubes are requested. This guide can be used for all brands of implants.
Discussion:
In our experience, 67 implants (31 titanium and 36 zircon implants) were placed in 35 patients with guided surgery system. Multiple clinical cases were treated with this system: 'one-stage' or a 'two-stage' surgical protocol, with flap and flapless surgical techniques, and with delayed or immediate loading. Clinical cases treated revealed good implant placement with planning. The widely open design of this guide allows irrigation and practitioner's sight control under conditions comparable to those of operations performed without surgical guide.
Conclusion:
This dental implant guided system appears to be a significant advance in the field of implant surgical guides.
