Abstract:The utilization of surgical guides can improve the precision of implant placement and minimize procedural errors and their related complications. This research aims to evaluate the impact of disinfection and sterilization methods on the dimensional changes of drill guide templates and the mechanical characteristics of 3D-printed surgical guides produced using LCD technology. A total of 100 samples were produced. Forty surgical guides were fabricated to assess implant drill guides' surface and geometric proper… Show more
