Split-mouth comparison of the accuracy of computer-generated and conventional surgical guides.

Purpose: Recent clinical studies have shown that implant placement is highly predictable with computer-generated surgical guides; however, the reliability of these guides has not been compared to that of conventional guides clinically. This study aimed to compare the accuracy of reproducing planned implant positions with computer-generated and conventional surgical guides using a split-mouth design.

Materials And Methods: Ten patients received two implants each in symmetric locations.
