Situation • This 71-year old female patient has problems with retention of the denture in the lower jaw • Diagnosis – Enough bone volume to place two 13 mm Brånemark implants of 13 mm
• Treatment plan – Insertion of 2 implants – 1ste STL drill guide in the world
Rationale • This was the first clinical test of the surgical drill guide of Materialise (Leuven, Belgium) • Since at that time, no experience existed in the field, a very simple case was selected • In case the drill guide would not work, the surgeon could go on using his traditional surgical technique • The surgery was performed in Ziekenhuis Oost Limburg, Genk, Belgium on 26 august 1997.
