title: Fabrication of a cast-based implant surgical guide using guide sleeves.
abstract: A unique method for fabricating cast-based surgical guides is presented. A proposed position and mesiodistal angulation of the implant are verified with periapical radiography and registered with a commercially available guide sleeve. The sleeve is attached to a surgical guide made of light-polymerized acrylic resin. The surgical guide can be used in a broad range of situations and allows for accurate implant placement in a prosthetically driven position with surgical access and visibility, simplicity, and cost efficiency.
