Stackable guide in implantology: A technical note

With the rise of digital workflow, the production of implant guides is becoming increasingly easy and reproducible. The objective is to obtain an optimal correlation between the prosthetic and implant axis to ensuring the "X jaw - one day" concept in the short term and a sustainable technique in a long term TECHNIQUE: This approach requires a strict and rigorous preoperative evaluation. The data recording steps allow a complete visualization of the case and are used to custom the guide. The bone support is surmounted by several stages (positioning guide, drilling guide and the future temporary prosthesis).

Despite the time-consuming nature, this technique provides a reliable and reproducible protocol for immediate loading without compromising the prosthetic axis.
