(1) Background: Dynamic guided surgery is a computer-guided freehand technology that allows highly accurate procedures to be carried out in real time through motion-tracking instruments. The aim of this research was to compare the accuracy between dynamic guided surgery (DGS) and alternative implant guidance methods, namely, static guided surgery (SGS) and freehand (FH). (2) Methods: Searches were conducted in the Cochrane and Medline databases to identify randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) and prospective and retrospective case series and to answer the following focused question: "What implant guidance tool is more accurate and secure with regard to implant placement surgery?" The implant deviation coefficient was calculated for four different parameters: coronal and apical horizontal, angular, and vertical deviations.

Dental implants are the treatment of choice for those patients with dental absences. An optimal implant placement is based on the prosthetic driven concept in order to achieve an aesthetic and functional restoration with a long-term prognosis.

Purpose: To compare the accuracy of different modalities of implant placement-static fully guided, static half-guided, and freehand surgery-through meta-analysis.
Materials And Methods: A thorough electronic and manual systematic search was conducted to identify applicable randomized clinical trials (RCTs) for evaluating the implant positioning accuracy between different static implant navigation surgeries. The coronal and apical horizontal deviation, vertical deviation, apical angle, and chair time were estimated as the weighted mean differences and standard deviation with confidence intervals.
