ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this week’s video, Dr. Robert Stanley, The Smile Engineer®, dives into a framework that’s essential for implant clinicians and industry partners alike — a comprehensive classification system for dental implant surgical guides. Based on the landmark paper published in Dentistry Today, Dr. Stanley explains why having a clear, standardized way to describe and compare surgical guides helps clinicians select the right tools, fosters clearer communication in research, and aligns manufacturers, labs, and educators around a common language. Whether you’re new to guided implant workflows or a seasoned user looking to elevate predictability and accuracy, this metric can streamline decision-making across clinical and research settings.
