Summary

This study tested three ways to place dental implants in 90 adults with some missing teeth: freehand, pilot-drilled, and fully guided surgery. Fully guided surgery was the most accurate, had the shortest recovery, and made patients happiest. Freehand surgery was less precise and had more complications. The goal is to help patients and dentists choose the best method for long-lasting results.
