a lot of artifacts. Unfortunately, we got rid of all our air abra-
sion systems after the last one died! So, my poor dental assis-
tantwent door-to-door inmy building looking to borrowone.
We started with a small hand-held, which eventually died.
Luckily found a lab-based sand blaster and got towork.

Optiguide is my go-to way of planning guided.
Classic is also a great option. I do not do a lot of CEREC
Guides because the key does not allow for precision timing
of the implant. Hopefullywe canfigure out a solution for this.
If you do a scan but there is a lot of scatter, you can always
send a stonemodel for SICAT to scan and stitch to your cone
beam scan. Saves exposing the patient to an additional scan.

Hi Farhad,
Woulda case like this fall into the99%or the 1%?
The need is for a sinus lift in one site and a ridge expansion
in the other. I would like to have a guide to provide all three
dimensions for thesurgerybutdonotknowhowitcanbedone.
Instead, awork-up and
a 2-dimensional guide
madewith theCBCT
information taken into
consider-
ation.
I think
the desire
to perform
fully guided
surgery
must be
made on
case-by-
case basis.
