Comparison Between a Computer-Aided Surgical Template and the Free-Hand Method

31 December 2019

Background: During implantation planning, dentists should be able to make an informed decision regarding whether to use an implant template to assist the surgery. Purpose: The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess the results of implantation with or without an implant template based on the accuracy, survival rate, and other considerations.

Conclusions: With the technology of computer-aided surgical template, implant placement can be more accurate than free-hand operation. No significant difference is observed in the survival rate between template and free-hand.
