Tooth-Supported Surgical Guide
A surgical guide supported by the remaining teeth, the most accurate option when the patient still has a stable dentition to index against.
Tooth support gives the most reproducible seating of any guide design. We use the occlusal and proximal surfaces as the index, keep the guide rigid enough not to flex on insertion, and verify the sleeve position on the printed model.
The surgical report lists the drill sequence, the sleeve diameter and the torque value for each implant position.
