Purpose: To determine the vertical space required for implant osteotomy preparation when utilizing a CAD/CAM fully guided surgical template.

Materials And Methods: A total of 14 surgical osteotomy drills (individual and sequential drills) were collected and measured individually using a digital caliper, as well as the total length when the drills were positioned in a surgical handpiece. The height of the surgical guide sleeves and the offset of 14 implant systems in the market were also collected.

Results: The vertical dimension of the drills included in this study ranged from 28.2 to 46.3 mm. When these drills were inserted into the handpiece, the total length ranged from 30.0 to 49.5 mm. The height of the surgical guide sleeve and the offset required for the guide had a range of 3.2 to 7.0 mm and 5.0 to 13.5 mm, respectively. This dimension resulted in the total vertical space required for CAD/CAM fully guided surgical templates for each implant system, which ranged from 30.0 to 58.5 mm.

Conclusions: Limited mouth opening can pose challenges and limitations in both guided and nonguided dental implant surgery. It can affect the accessibility of surgical implant placement and may result in increased patient discomfort, surgical implant positioning errors, and postoperative complications. Clinicians should determine the patient's mouth opening capabilities during the treatment planning phase prior to deciding on the appropriate implant system to be used and the implant placement technique.

Virtual preoperative anaesthetic assessments can significantly reduce healthcare costs and improve patient convenience. The challenge with virtual consults is often the airway assessments, which screen for potentially difficult airways (PDAs). The objective of this pilot study was to determine the reliability of standard airway screening tests for detecting PDAs when conducted virtually.
