Guided Surgery with Two-Stage Technique for the Restoration of a 5.0 x 8.0mm Bicon SHORT® Implant for a Mandibular Right First Molar with an Integrated Abutment Crown™ (IAC)

Using the Bicon Guided Surgery Technique, a 5.0 x 8.0mm Bicon SHORT® Implant was placed with a two-stage surgery for a mandibular right first molar and restored with an Integrated Abutment Crown™ (IAC). This technique employs a Spade Drill to initially establish the osteotomy to the diameter of the intended implant. Subsequently, the osteotomy was deepened using incrementally longer Guided Surgery Reamers through the orifice of a 5.0mm Guide Ring until the length of the intended implant was achieved. The top of the Guide Ring was designed to be 15.0mm above the top of the implant when the implant is placed 2.0 to 3.0mm below the alveolar crest of bone.
