Abstract

Advent of Osseo integration has rapidly led to the use of dental implants over recent years. Implant complications are often inadvertent squeal of improper diagnosis, treatment planning, surgical method, and placement. This can be overcome by using surgical guides for implant positioning. Although conventionally made surgical guide are used, the clinical outcome is often unpredictable, and even if the implants are well placed, the location and deviation of the implants may not meet the optimal prosthodontic requirements. High accuracy in planning and execution of surgical procedures is important in securing a high success rate without causing iatrogenic damage. This can be achieved by computed tomography, 3D implant planning software, image‑guided template production techniques, and computer‑aided surgery. This presentation evaluates about the various systems of conventionally made surgical guide using radiograph and also the newer computer generated surgical guide in detail.
