Objective: This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a printed surgical guide for root sectioning in the socket-shield technique.
Materials And Methods: A typodont model of the maxilla with augmented filler was used for the upper right central incisor, and CBCT images were obtained. Two types of vertical root sectioning guides were tested: one with a buccal sleeve (Group A, n = 10) and another with a buccal orientation slit (Group B, n = 10).
