Degree of Deviation in Printed Surgical Guides Using Simulated User Error
Abstract
Background: Improper implant placement is the root cause of deleterious clinically based factors resulting in previously placed dental implants with peri-implant mucocitis, periimplantitis, and even failure1. Through the introduction of implant guides, fabricated by means of patient models, implant placement accuracy improved and the number of adverse outcomesdecreased2. The next evolution of implant guides replaced the data from the diagnostic patient models with data from the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Computer-based implant positioning software uses the CBCT data to virtually place a dental implant, guided by the desired restorative outcome, which is then rendered within the surgical guide. Implant placement error can still occur by improper virtual implant positioning, which is translated to the improper guide fabrication.
