Based on our investigation, we can conclude that all production processes were properly followed.The fit issue may have been caused by stone model inaccuracies which were difficult to detect due to excessive shine being present in the patient scan.Proceeding with surgery using the ill-fitting guide, in addition to the implant's planned proximity to the buccal plate, likely led to its perforation.In the technical data sheet that ships with every guide, doctors are advised against performing surgery with the guide if seating issues persist.

The guide was used for implant surgery.The doctor's maxillary drp guide did not seat properly and rocked on the patient, and without someone holding it in place, there was a gap between the guide and the patient's facial anatomy.The doctor proceeded with surgery, and had an assistant hold the guide down throughout the procedure.However, while performing the osteotomy for site #9, the buccal wall was perforated.The doctor attempted to free-hand the remaining procedures for site #9, but was unable to successfully place the implant.The site was grafted, as was previously planned by the doctor due to very limited bone at the site.Site #5 was partly free-handed and was placed successfully.The doctor also ordered a mandibular drp guide, for which no issues were reported.
