Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of a guided surgery protocol versus a conventional protocol. Materials and Methods: Twenty-six patients were randomly assigned to Guided Surgery or Conventional Surgery. In test group implants were placed in the maxilla using a tooth supported model-based surgical guide with a minimally invasive flap and immediately loaded. In control group implants were inserted with an open flap surgery following a prosthetic stent and immediately loaded.Conclusions: Implants can successfully integrate in the posterior maxilla using a guided surgery approach with immediate loading. The use of guided surgery helped to reduce the surgery duration, pain intensity, related analgesic consumption, and a more predictable provisional installation

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of a guided surgery protocol versus a conventional protocol. Materials and Methods: Twenty-six patients were randomly assigned to Guided Surgery or Conventional Surgery. In test group implants were placed in the maxilla using a tooth supported model-based surgical guide with a minimally invasive flap and immediately loaded. In control group implants were inserted with an open flap surgery following a prosthetic stent and immediately loaded.Conclusions: Implants can successfully integrate in the posterior maxilla using a guided surgery approach with immediate loading. The use of guided surgery helped to reduce the surgery duration, pain intensity, related analgesic consumption, and a more predictable provisional installation
