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.
