Summary: | Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the surgical and post‐operative outcomes of a computer‐aided implant surgery performed by bone‐ and mucosa‐supported stereolithographic (SLA) guides against the standard technique.
Material and methods: Multiple‐ and single‐type SLA guides from two commercial manufacturers were produced and a total of 341 implants were placed to 52 patients using the standard technique (Control group), bone‐ (bone‐supported guide [BSG] group) and mucosa‐supported SLA guides (Flapless group) in 21, 16 and 15 patients, respectively. Surgical duration (min), number of analgesics (tablets) as well as hemorrhage, difficulty in mouth opening (or trismus) and other incidences were recorded. Pain and swelling was assessed using the visual analog scale (VAS). Parametric and non‐parametric tests were used for statistical analysis (P |
