The efficacy of freehand, pilot drilled and fully guided implant surgery in partially edentulous patients: A randomized control trial

Key Points

• Fully guided implant surgery showed better accuracy and efficiency compared to other methods, enhancing patient satisfaction.
• Significant findings reveal that fully guided surgery is preferable for achieving high precision in dental implants.
• Randomized controlled trial method ensured robust comparisons among freehand, pilot drilled, and fully guided techniques.
• The study supports using prosthetically driven workflows in partially edentulous cases for optimal outcomes.
