Surgical Guides

Bys: Thakkar, Anjani N. and Kumar, P. Roshan

This book presents a comprehensive exploration of surgical guides in implant dentistry, charting their evolution from early mechanical templates to advanced digitally fabricated systems. It delves into the ideal requirements for guide design, various classifications based on support, material, and utility, and provides detailed descriptions of guide types used across clinical scenarios. With emphasis on CAD/CAM software, 3D printing, and modern fabrication techniques, it highlights the precision and efficiency these technologies bring to implant planning and placement. It also covers sterilization protocols essential for maintaining guide integrity, and discusses contemporary innovations such as internal coolant channels and cone-wedge anchorage systems that enhance surgical accuracy and safety. Illustrated with real-world clinical applications-from implants to veneers and full-mouth rehabilitations-this book is an essential resource for clinicians, researchers, and students striving for excellence in guided implantology.
