What are the two GuidedSMILE Zygo guidance options, and how do they differ?

Zygo planning and guidance comes in two forms. The right choice depends on your surgical workflow, the implant systems involved, and how you intend to capture records and deliver the prosthesis.

Option 1: CHROME GuidedSMILE or CombiGuide with planned sleeves

This is the traditional CHROME GuidedSMILE or CombiGuide approach, designed with planned sleeves that control the restorative exit position of the zygoma implant for prosthetic pick-up. The guide is best suited for pilot drilling. Subsequent drilling can be followed without a sleeve, and other options can be used. This surgical and restorative option gives both the surgical and restorative teams a very predictable protocol.

Option 2: Metal, bone-supported guide

This is a metal, bone-supported guide for specialty implants. It can also deliver pre-manufactured prostheses when desired, or serve as a design service for Grammetry or photogrammetry. The prosthesis is palatally supported with prepositioned holes. Cases are planned live online with ROE's experienced technicians and the specialists.

Consideration Option 1: CHROME / CombiGuide Option 2: Bone-supported guide
Primary control Restorative exit position via planned sleeves Bone channel, depth, position for planned implants
Support Stackable guide system Bone-borne, screwed down
Best use Pilot drilling, predictable restorative pick-up Specialty implants, pre-manufactured prostheses
Records / digital Conventional or digital prosthetic workflow Pre-positioned holes; Grammetry / photogrammetry friendly

Both systems can incorporate the implant brands listed in FAQ 3. If you are not sure which option suits your case, ROE will help you decide during online planning.
