Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess the precision of the surgical guide in static fully guided dental implant surgery. Materials and methods: This research was done on partly edentulous patients whose situations were straightforward and did not require bone or soft tissue augmentation. Fourteen patients (ranging in age from 25 to 70) received 40 dental implants at the dental implant unit, oral and maxillofacial surgery center, Gazi Alhariri Teaching Hospital, Medical City, Baghdad. Using a surgical guide, the dental implants were guided into the most prosthetically-appropriate location. To evaluate the accuracy of the surgical guide in terms of angular deviation, entry point, and implant depth. The actual post-operative implant position was compared to the designed implant position prior to surgery. Results: The mean for the angular deviation between the designed and post-operation actual implant position was (3.83 ± 2.85) degrees, the depth difference was (1.09 ± 0.81 ) millimeters, and the entry point deviation was (0.91 ± 0.73 ) millimeters. Conclusion: The current study revealed that there was no significant difference between the designed and actual implant position regarding all three variables at a P-value of (0.05). Neither biological nor mechanical complications occurred.
