Surgical Guide Types and Workflows
At Paramount Dental Studio, we use advanced technology to plan precise implant placement. We offer a range of surgical guides to simplify these procedures while increasing accuracy:
Support Options:
Teeth: Relies on patient’s existing teeth
Recommended for patients who are fully or partially dentulous
Tissue: Rests directly on soft tissue
Recommended for fully edentulous patients with dentures
Bone: Rests directly on the alveolar bone
Recommended for edentulous patients without dentures or in surgeries which will include bone reduction as this option is more invasive.
Guidance Options:
The type of guidance depends on the surgical kit and manufacturer you use.
Full: Customized to your guided surgery kit's system and manufacturer. Provides depth, angulation, sequential drilling, and implant placement.
Pilot: Customized based on your pilot drill size and diameter. Provides depth and angulation only.
Workflow:
Please refer to your case’s support type for how to send a case:
