An in-vitro study on accuracy of modular templates used to fully guide implants in combination with bone reduction for complete arch restorations: Experts versus students
Modular surgical guides provide comparable accuracy to conventional, single-piece guides, however they offer more possibilities, helping in bone reduction and immediate loading procedures. Screwed anchor pins used to fix the base portion of the modular guides provide better final results than pushed pins.
