The Success of Implant-borne Prostheses Following Fully-guided Static Computer-assisted Implant Surgery.

The fit of the surgical guide was checked and a flapless procedure was performed under local anesthesia. However, in cases where the width of keratinized mucosa was insufficient a limited full-thickness flap was elevated. The surgical template was fixed on the remaining dentition and mucosa using template fixation pins. Fully guided implant bed preparation was performed. Osteotomies were carried out with external cooling at a drill rotation speed of 800 rpm. Implant placement was performed using a manual torque wrench Dental implants were placed non-submerged. In cases of flap elevation, wound margins were stabilized with single interrupted sutures. Sutures were removed at 7 days postop.
