Implant surgical guides play a crucial role in the success of dental implant treatments. By aiding in diagnosis, treatment planning, and precise positioning of implants, these guides ensure accurate placement in the jaw bone. There are two main types of surgical guides: customized conventional radiographic templates and computer-generated templates. While the former may lack important dimensions and anatomical information, the latter, made using 3D imaging, offer precise planning and efficient implant placement, reducing complications. However, inexperienced dentists must undergo appropriate training and consider critical anatomical structures. In summary, implant surgical guides enhance accuracy and improve the success rate of implant therapy, with the choice depending on patient needs and clinician expertise.
CPD/Clinical Relevance: Implant surgical guides are important in ensuring accurate and successful dental implant treatments.

Dental implants have become a widely used treatment option and good treatment planning is crucial for their success. Proper diagnosis and implant placement are important factors in success of implant prosthetics.1 Failures can occur when the super structure is not considered during pre-operative treatment planning2. According to the Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms, surgical guides assist in diagnosing and treatment planning, as well as correct positioning and angulation of dental implants in the jaw bone.1,3 During surgery the guide can, for example, be placed on the remaining dentition or edentulous space and will therefore offer information about the correct implant placement. Thus, the treatment can be restoratively driven, be planned from the top down and executed from the base up to achieve an excellent prosthetic result.
Consideration of the soft-tissue quality, is also essential for the long-term success of implant therapy. Soft-tissue management is an important factor in the outcome of implant therapy and can be achieved with several techniques such as flap design, grafting or suturing4. When designing the flap, the surgical guide should be considered. During the procedure it is important to ensure that the surgical guide does not crush the soft tissues. When all these factors are taken into consideration during pre-operative treatment planning, implant prosthetics can be achieved with excellent long-term results.
