Alternatively, or in addition, another structure may be formed at or near the resection feature 826 and serve as a stop 886. In this format, the distance within the resection feature 826 combined with a particular length for the blade or bur of the cutting tool may serve as a stop 886. Advantageously, a surgeon using such a configured resection guides 820 need not check or monitor the depth when forming the osteotomy. The surgeon can simply insert the cutting tool until the tool abuts the resection feature 826 of the resection guide 820 (“bottoms out”). At this point, the surgeon knows the cutting tool has reached a prescribed depth and that tissue beyond the depth is preserved.
