The IrriGUIDE Adapter was developed by Dr. Thomas Jackson, a periodontist and prosthodontist, out of great concern for dental implants being subjected to unnecessary risk when placed with a surgical guide.
Recent research suggests that the heat generated during the use of a surgical guide may exceed the temperature threshold that bone can withstand.
The IrriGUIDE Adapter is a universal solution applicable to all static surgical guides, providing direct irrigation to the implant osteotomy site.
Its primary benefit is the prevention of overheating at the osteotomy site, which reduces the risk of bone necrosis and the compromise of dental implants.
Secondary benefits of the IrriGUIDE Adapter include increased surgical visibility, efficiency, and patient comfort.
