What is the GuidedTEMP™ clinical workflow?
Context
Proper execution of the GuidedTEMP™ procedure is essential for achieving optimal clinical outcomes. Dental professionals new to the system need a clear understanding of the step-by-step process, from initial guide verification through final restoration delivery. This procedural knowledge ensures efficient surgery, accurate implant placement, and successful immediate provisional integration.
Answer
The GuidedTEMP™ procedure follows a systematic approach that integrates seamlessly with guided implant surgery. Understanding each step ensures predictable results and efficient chairtime.
Basic Procedure Overview:
- Guide Verification: Seat the surgical guide and ensure proper fit without rocking. Make any necessary adjustments before proceeding.
- Site Preparation: Complete extraction if needed and seat the guide. Ensure no tissue covers the implant interface.
- Osteotomy Creation: Follow the guided kit sequence for site preparation according to your implant system protocols.
- Implant Placement: Place the implant through the guide using the master tube for proper indexing, rotation, and depth.
- Torque Verification: Ensure the implant is properly torqued and secure before proceeding.
- Abutment Placement: Seat the provided temporary abutment onto the implant.
- Template Positioning: Place the GuidedTEMP template (uses the same file as the surgical guide but holds the tooth/teeth).
- Restoration Delivery: The template rests on teeth and slides over the temp cylinders for final restoration.
Single Unit Procedure:
- Place template passively without abutment contact
- Backfill the void around the temp cylinder with chosen material
- Trim, contour, polish, and seat the final restoration
Pre-Procedure Checklist:
- Verify the template seats passively without contact on abutments
- Confirm there is no pressure on the implant in any direction
- Address any tissue interference that may need management
- Ensure no tissue covers the implant interface
