Abstract
A novel method and system are provided for a base guide with a retention mechanism designed to facilitate sequential dental implant surgical guides and immediate loading of a fixed full-arch provisional prosthesis. The system leverages advanced computer-guided surgery technology to enhance accuracy, efficiency, and patient outcomes in implant dentistry. The base guide with retention mechanism serves as a foundational component for guiding the sequential placement of dental implants and facilitating immediate loading of a fixed full-arch provisional prosthesis, offering significant benefits to clinicians and patients alike. A pin positioning guide that latches over the cusps of a small number of teeth is used to place the base guide.
