Abstract:Introduction This study aimed to assess the effect of slice thickness of 3D printer in fabrication of surgical guide (SG) on the accuracy of dental implant placement. Materials and Methods After preparation of two dry human mandibles, Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were obtained, and the location and direction of implants in the edentulous ridge of the mandible were identified using Romexis software. Data in STL format were transferred to a 3D printer and two SGs with 50 µm and 100 µm thicknesses w… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
