Work Instruction GUIDE-SYSTEM

Guide System 18 APPLICATION FABRICATING A TEMPORARY RESTORATION The finished drilling template can be used to craft a long-term temporary restoration in the laboratory for the partially or fully edentulous jaw be- fore the actual implantation is performed. Guide System insertion posts for integrating implant analogs in the working model are available, sepa- rately. Drilling the holes for the implant analogs The finished drilling template with the guiding sleeves is placed on the working model or snapped to the analogs of the temporary implants in the model to mark the future implant positions on the model through the guiding sleeves. The template is then removed to grind the required cavi- ties for placing the implant analogs of sufficient size, taking into account the implant axes in the plaster. In this way the guiding sleeves are not da- maged by rotary instruments. NOTE For easier mounting of the implant analogs, it is recommended that the relevant implant positions should be drilled through the model so that a suitable material (e.g., plaster, epoxy etc.) can be poured in from below later on. Lateral retention in the holes serves as a rotation se- curing device for the material introduced.
