What are the CombiGuide specifications, and how does it compare to ROE's other surgical guides?
The CombiGuide is a full-arch, all-metal guide focused specifically on bone reduction and implant placement. It supports any number of implant sites and is compatible with all guided surgical kits. Typical lab time is 5 days planning plus 5 days production.
The system is most often produced in metal (metal osteotomy guide and metal fixation base). For teaching or specific case needs, a plastic version can be ordered. When plastic is used, ROE produces it thicker, around 4.5 to 5 mm, so the guide stays robust in the mouth.
The table below compares CombiGuide to ROE's other surgical guide offerings. All offerings are compatible with all guided kits.
| Guide | Relative Cost | Lab Time | Sites | Best Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tooth Supported | $$ | 3 days planning, 4 days production | 1 to 6 | Printed surgical resin, with Ti sleeves or sleeveless |
| Tissue Supported | $$ | 4 days planning, 4 days production | Any number | Edentulous cases where the guide is based on a dual-scan |
| Bone Supported | $$$ | 4 days planning, 5 days production | Any number | Edentulous cases where a dual-scan is not an option; optional open channel for bone leveling |
| CombiGuide | $$$ | 5 days planning, 5 days production | Any number | Full-arch all-metal guide, limited to bone reduction and implant placement |
| CHROME GuidedSMILE | $$$$ | 5 days planning, 10 days production | Any number | Fully guided All-on-X surgery and restoration |
Key distinction: CombiGuide is purpose-built for guided bone reduction and implant placement. If you also need a fully guided provisional and a complete restorative workflow in a single appliance, the CHROME GuidedSMILE system may be the better fit.
