Posterior implant placement with a surgical guide: a case that highlighted the value of precision, even in favorable conditions.
This patient had abundant posterior bone, which made planning and execution straightforward but no less important. Here are the lessons reinforced during this case:
1. Guided Surgery Refines Precision: Even with ample bone, using a guide ensured the implant was placed exactly as planned, optimizing angulation and depth for long-term success.
2. Efficient Workflow: The pre-planned guide eliminated unnecessary adjustments during surgery, reducing chair time and improving the overall experience.
3. Consistency in Outcomes: Guided surgery provides a predictable and reproducible process, which is key for building confidence and delivering excellent results, regardless of case complexity.
This case reminded me that even in ideal circumstances, guided surgery elevates precision and consistency.
How do you approach posterior cases with plenty of bone? Do you still use guides, or do you reserve them for more challenging scenarios? Let’s exchange ideas!
