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.
