A Comparative Study on the Accuracy of Implant Placement Using 3D‐Printed and Milled Guides Without Metal Sleeves
The accuracy of the implant position was affected by the inclusion or absence of metal sleeves and the manufacturing method. Overall, non-sleeved guides deliver better accuracy by reducing crestal and apical deviations, as well as angular errors. Differences between the groups without metal sleeves, 3D printed and milled, were found in the implant angulation, where the 3D printed group obtained more accurate results.
