Double Edentulous protocol?
Options:
- Complete upper full surgery and prosthetic conversion and then lower arch. The mandibular Pin Guide has a bite that is designed for the maxillary temporary prosthetic. In other words, when the max is finished, use the max teeth to ensure proper seating of the mandibular Pin Guide.
- Seat both Pin Guides initially and drill all the max and man sites. Complete the max case, then flap the mandibular and the holes are already there for the pins. Both methods are acceptable. Follow the instructions included with each case for the flapping technique.
