| description | Abstract Background For the best clinical results, accuracy is essential in orthodontics and oral surgery. Surgical guides, also known as templates, are now indispensable instruments for improving precision in operations like orthodontic treatments and dental implant installation. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), intraoral scanning, and 3D printing are just a few of the cutting-edge imaging and manufacturing technologies used in these guides to produce patient-specific devices that complement predetermined treatment plans. Their application improves treatment predictability and lowers errors while minimizing hazards like harm to anatomical structures or improper placement. Materials and Methods: The technique was directed by the PRISMA protocol, which involved searching PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science for research articles published from 2014 to 2024. English-language human studies evaluating the accuracy of surgical guides were given priority in the inclusion criteria. Results: Results underscore the transformative role of surgical guides in reducing complications, enhancing interdisciplinary collaboration, and optimizing outcomes. However, challenges remain, including dependence on imaging quality, guide stability, and cost. Conclusions: Notwithstanding its drawbacks, surgical guides are a major development in dentistry that helps close the gap between clinical execution and virtual planning while opening the door to safer, more predictable, and patient-centered care. |
