Area of Science:

  • Dental surgery
  • Medical device engineering

Background:

  • Accurate placement of endosseous implants is crucial for successful dental restorations.
  • Freehand drilling can lead to deviations in implant axis, potentially compromising the outcome.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the fabrication and application of a novel surgical guide stent.
  • To evaluate the stent's ability to maintain implant axis accuracy during surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a custom surgical guide stent.
  • Utilizing the stent with a full range of surgical drills during implant placement.
  • Comparison of planned vs. surgically placed implant axes.

Main Results:

  • The surgical guide stent successfully maintained the pre-determined horizontal and vertical axes of implants.

  • Use of the stent minimized implant site enlargement compared to freehand procedures.

    • Conclusions:

    • The described surgical guide stent is an effective tool for enhancing precision in endosseous implant surgery.
    • This device improves the reliability of implant placement by reducing surgical variability.
