Abstract

A new technique of guided implant surgery is presented. A conventional complete denture is converted into both tomographic and surgical guides and later into an interim implant-supported fixed prosthesis. A plate derived from a computed tomography scan becomes the physical link between the virtual planning and tube positioning device. Furthermore, the interim placement of mini-implants adjacent to the symphysis region stabilizes the guide throughout the guided surgery. This technique reduces treatment time and costs.
