Hey Everybody
I have a few conversions under my belt some questions:
1) What is the best way to figure out which MUA to use, we are currently "eyeballing" them by getting the patient to close jaw and see if the screw hole lines up with lingual cusp tip/cingulum (lower conversion)?
The few dentist I have worked with simply are not interested in surgical guides, one says "How can you trust if its seated correctly" We currently have a slick procedure for converting, but always looking for better ways. We pick up the 2 anteriors, take a bite, unscrew, mount on articulator, break-away the 2 anteriors.(denturist hates Triad) secure denture in CO to opposing, pick-up all 4 on model...bite was bang-on in the mouth.
2) How do these surgical guides work if you need to remove bone?
Thanks
