Jenna Hang,

Abstract:ObjectivesThis study aims to examine differences in trueness and precision between surgical guides with (S) and without sleeves (SL). A secondary aim was to assess the impact of the sleeve‐to‐bone distance.Materials and MethodsMandible replicas (n = 120) were printed from an STL file obtained from a clinical CBCT. The mandibles were divided into sleeved (S, n = 60) and sleeveless (SL, n = 60) groups, each further divided into three categories (n = 20 each) with different heights from the guide to the implant p… Show more
