Abstract

The desire for predictable prosthetic outcomes led to the development of guided implant surgery where the ideal placement of the implant is achieved using radiographic and surgical stent in conjunction with radiographic aids. These surgical guides improved the precision of implant placement without incurring possible intra- and post-operative complications. Therefore, this review highlights various techniques for the fabrication of surgical guides, their advantages, and their drawbacks.
