| Whakarāpopotonga: | Objective: This article presents a step-by-step digital technique for fabricating a 3D-printed surgical guide to assist in alveoloplasty for immediate denture placement. Methods: The workflow integrates intraoral scanning, virtual tooth extraction, digital soft tissue modeling, and additive manufacturing to produce a customized guide with an occlusal window and buccal slot, along with a verification stent. Results: This method ensures precise ridge recontouring and verification, enhancing surgical predictability and prosthetic fit. Conclusions: Unlike traditional surgical guides based on conventional casts or manual fabrication, this fully digital approach offers a practical and replicable protocol that bridges digital planning and clinical execution. By improving surgical precision, reducing operative time, and ensuring optimal denture fit, this technique represents a significant advancement in guided pre-prosthetic surgery. |
