Investigative study finds that insertion side and angle minimally impact accuracy in young adults, suggesting further exploration is needed.
CAD/CAM surgical guides ensured clinically acceptable accuracy despite significant deviations from absolute precision. The insertion side, frontal insertion angle, and miniscrew length had minimal influence on accuracy, and therefore on outcome. Further studies should explore the effects of additional clinical, procedural, anatomical, and structural variables.
