Surgical Guide for Implants and Dual Scan - A Review

Abstract In dentistry, an implant surgical guide is a tool used for accurate implant placement. To help dentists and oral surgeons plan the precise location, depth, and angle of implant placement, it offers a three-dimensional representation of the patient's oral anatomy. The guide improves predictability for the best possible functional and aesthetic results, encourages a minimally invasive approach, and reduces stress to surrounding tissues. Personalized for each patient, the surgical guide increases productivity, shortens the duration of the procedure, and helps ensure the long-term viability of dental implant restorations.
