Pilot Surgical Guide Investigation Limitations
A pilot surgical guide’s primary purpose is to precisely guide the initial drill during the implant drilling sequence. The remainder of the drilling sequence is free-handed by the clinician, leaving depth, timing, and trajectory uncontrolled. Due to known limitations of pilot surgical guides, concerns with Final Implant Placement do not qualify for investigation.

  • Trajectory concerns with Pilot Guides will only be investigated if no other drills are required prior to implant placement.


Provisional Appliance Investigation Limitations

Due to human anatomy and expected surgical variables which are beyond the control of Implant Concierge surgical guides, chairside modifications to Implant Concierge pre-surgery provisionals are to be anticipated. Below are limitations and guidelines for investigations on Surgery-Ready Provisionals:

  • Essix prostheses are expected to be manually modified after surgery to accommodate for swelling and other post-surgical healing. Essix are not designed to wrap around the posterior of the distal teeth.

  • Surgery-Ready Provisionals are designed on a profiled ridge as well as out of occlusion and should be evaluated for interferences once placed by the clinician. Bite or occlusion concerns are not investigated.


The Investigation Process

  1. The concern is reported to the Product Experience Team.

  2. The Product Experience Team evaluates the case, including:
    a. Your chief concern
    b. A thorough review of the case notes
    c. The CBCT and Model Registration
    d. Treatment planning documentation
    e. Recorded meetings and calls
    f. Guide or provisional design
    g. Your completed Product Experience Form
    h. Any additional requested documentation (listed above)

  3. Once the investigation is completed, you will be contacted by email with the resolution or to schedule a meeting to discuss the findings.

  4. Implant Concierge will investigate items in which we have control over. Therefore, we do not:

    • Evaluate the final implant trajectory when a Pilot Surgical Guide is used

    • Evaluate the final implant trajectory when the implant is placed free-hand or without a Fully Guided System

    • Evaluate concerns regarding implant failure or lifespan

    • Evaluate the performance of a guide when the planned/placed implant is not supported by the selected guided surgical kit

    • Evaluate the performance of a guide when the Print Only workflow is selected

    • Evaluate the implant positioning when the Design Only workflow is selected

    • Evaluate cases in which a doctor chose to proceed with a model which had concerns or was rejected

    • Rework a case at no charge if the doctor chooses to change the treatment plan after authorizing and/or receiving their case

  5. We take the stance of “We assume we made a mistake, and our investigation is to prove we did not.” We do not automatically assume the fault is that of the customers.

  6. We conduct a robust investigation following FDA Guidelines with the intent to identify where the problem occurred as well as to learn and educate one another so we can prevent repeat issues in the future.
