Conclusion:
Full arch All-on-4 treatment protocol can pose challenges to surgical placement that are then reflected in the prosthetic phase of treatment when performed with free-hand implant placement. Utilization of a surgical guide eliminates those potential positioning issues that can result from free-hand placement. Replication of a full arch denture allows for fabrication of a diagnostic CBCT guide to allow virtual planning taking anatomical features into consideration and make planned implant placement more ideal for that particular patient.
The Guide Right system is a geometric approach which allows in-office planning with linear and angle corrections and surgical guide fabrication, simplifying the process while eliminating the time and additional expense normally required in having the surgical guide created at a dental lab.
