  • Title: Implant surgical guide fabrication for partially edentulous patients.
    Author: Shotwell JL, Billy EJ, Wang HL, Oh TJ.
    Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 2005 Mar; 93(3):294-7. PubMed ID: 15775932.
    Abstract:
    This article presents an innovative method for the fabrication of implant drill guides for partially edentulous patients. Using a light-polymerized composite material and drill blanks placed in the prosthodontically driven implant position, surgical guides for each implant drill are constructed on the diagnostic cast. In addition to the size-customized implant surgical guides, a ridge crest preparation guide showing the proposed crown contour is used to adjust the tissue contour, if needed, during implant surgery.
