Abstract

Aim: This can be done by computed tomography (CT), three dimensional implant 
planning software, image guided template production techniques, and computer aided 
surgery. Subjects and Methods: 20 implant placed in selected adult patients of both 
sexes ,divided into two groups. Group I: included 10 conventional implants placed 
in patients. Group II: Included 10 guided implants placed in patients (by using 
steriolithography.). Clinical photographs were taken before ,during and after procedures 
.Conebeam computed tomography was performed. Surgical procedure was done and 
implant were positioned. Implant evaluation clinically by implant primary stability 
by measuring the accuracy of the surgical guide on the postoperative image after 
implant insertion by recorded linear deviation(coronal ,apical )angular deviation ,and 
measurement of deviation in the post-operative implant position from the preoperative 
virtual implant planning. Results: We found noticeable high significant difference in 
group I than Group II in Coronal ,apical ,angular direction. Conclusion: The results 
proved the benefit of Using surgical guide template .It enables the clinician to optimize 
implant position, angle, diameter and length by dictating the drilling position and 
angulation
