Prosthetic Surgical Templates and Dental Implant Site Time Preparation: An In Vitro Study

Numerous types of prosthodontics surgical guides, with and without metallic sleeves, have been found to be useful in clinical studies. The aim this vitro research was compare the time required complete procedure two differently designed prosthetic templates. Ten identical prototype models mandible based on a CBCT optical scan partially edentulous patient missing teeth numbers 37, 46, 47 were prepared then printed. Five these used for implant site preparation guide metal sleeves dedicated kit, other five same performed kit. measured recorded. Statistical analysis using Student’s t-test independent samples. Differences between groups statistically significant (t = −9.94; df 28; p 0.0000) lower value favor templates sleeves. Different or seemed an important factor which can significantly impact and, therefore, overall procedure.
