Nowadays, it is possible to exploit of modern preoperative planning software, increasingly precise radiographic examinations (CBCT) and CAD/CAM technologies that allow designing devices directly on the computer to be sent to a milling center which produces the desired product, such as stereolithographic templates.

Methods: The prospective clinical study in question aims to evaluate the accuracy between two different surgical guides using peek and metal guide bushings.
