ThinLayer® Surgical Guide Overview

TAMPA, FL – Dr. Jerome Haber presented “A Novel, Tubeless 3D Based Implant Drill Guide System” at the Academy of Osseointegration 2013 Annual Meeting, a venue for nearly 2,000 implant dentists, held March 7-9 in Tampa, FL.

Dr. Haber invented and began using these guides in his clinic in the early 2000’s, in response to his dissatisfaction with commercially available tube guides. His presentation described the tubeless 3D-based surgical guides, which overcome the limitations of commercially available tube guides. The system consists of CT-derived tubeless and tube guides, as well as custom, disposable drill stops for depth control.

Dr. Haber’s patent-pending ThinLayer^® Guides are the basis for Guided Surgery Solutions, LLC, a company which seeks to eliminate the technical and economic barriers to adoption of guided surgery.

The presentation is available in the 7-minute video below.
