In this event it was reported that simplant guides were used to carry out an implant surgery.The first guide was placed into the mouth of the patient and the first drill steps were performed, while the assistant held the guide in place by applying pressure onto the anterior teeth.After removing the first guide and placing the drills in the osteotomies the dentist realized that they were canted mesially, and when positioning the second guide a distinct rocking motion antero-posteriorly was noted.This rocking motion was present for all 3 guides.Thus the dentist decided to stop the procedure since he was uncertain about the correct implant transfer.
