Guided implant site preparation generates higher temperature of the local bone than conventional drilling, not exceeding the threshold for thermal bone necrosis. Although saline at room temperature provides sufficient heat control during drilling, cooled saline is more effective regardless the use of surgical drill guide.

Bone level implants with the SLActive surface placed into low-density bone and loaded after 6 weeks of healing can predictably achieve and maintain a successful tissue integration.

The flapless surgical implant placement approach using mini-incision provides better vascularization of peri-implant mucosa after 3 months of healing compared with flap surgery.
