Summary

Bone quality stands as a crucial determinant impacting the success rate of dental implants, exerting influence on both implant primary stability and the efficacy of osseointegration. While radiographic images can partially reveal bone quality, experienced surgeons often rely on tactile sensation during bone drilling to assess it. Subsequently, based on the diagnosed bone quality, distinct implant designs and surgical protocols have been invented to enhance survival rates.

Technological advancements now enable the preoperative design of implant placement through a comprehensive guide, merging CBCT DICOM files with digital oral scanning data. This "fully guided" approach enhances the precision, stability, and safety of implant placement surgery. However, the use of a fully guided surgical guide introduces an additional factor-the friction between the drill and guide-potentially impacting the surgeon's tactile feedback.

This study aims to assess the difference in bone quality evaluation by tactile sensation between freehand drilling and drilling with a fully guided surgical guide, using test blocks of different bone density. The discussion will explore the pros and cons of employing a fully guided guide to optimize outcomes in implant treatment.
