How does the tissue-supported guide compare to ROE's other surgical guide options?
ROE offers a full portfolio of surgical guides so you can match the guide type to your case. The tissue-supported guide is an option for edentulous cases where a dual-scan is possible. As cases become more complex, the bone-supported, CombiGuide, and CHROME GuidedSMILE options provide alternatives.
| Guide | Relative Price | Days in Lab | Guided Kits | No. of Sites | Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tooth Supported | $$ | 3 planning + 4 production | All | 1 to 6 | Printed surgical resin, with Ti sleeves or sleeveless |
| Tissue Supported | $$ | 4 planning + 4 production | All | Any number | Edentulous cases where the guide is based on a dual-scan |
| Bone Supported | $$$ | 4 planning + 5 production | All | Any number | Best for edentulous cases where a dual-scan is not an option; optional open channel for bone leveling |
| CombiGuide | $$$ | 5 planning + 5 production | All | Any number | Full-arch all-metal guide, limited to bone reduction and implant placement |
| CHROME GuidedSMILE | $$$$ | 5 planning + 10 production | All | Any number | Fully guided All-on-X surgery and restoration |
How to choose: The tissue-supported guide suits edentulous patients with good-quality mucosa and a well-fitting denture that can serve as a scan appliance. When a dual-scan is not an option, the bone-supported guide is generally the better edentulous choice. For full-arch and All-on-X workflows, consider CombiGuide or CHROME GuidedSMILE.
