Placing Implants without Surgical Guides: Any Legal Ramifications?
Last Updated: Feb 21, 2011
Dr. B. asks:
I’m a periodontist experienced in implant surgery. I have been placing some implants without using surgical guides, especially single posteriors. I feel sometimes that surgical guides can hinder rather than assist my surgeries. Does anyone know of any medico-legal ramifications to placing implants without the use of surgical guides?
