Accuracy of full-guided versus half-guided implant procedures carried out with digital implant planning software by students as part of a university curriculum.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This in vitro study investigated whether full-guided (FG) or half-guided (HG) implant placement is more suitable for beginners and to what extent the use of the coDiagnostiX (CDX) (10.5, Straumann Group, Basel, Switzerland) implant planning software proves useful in teaching.

Methods

Twenty students planned implant positions with CDX which were then placed in a model using printed drill templates in the sense of FG implantation (group 1) and HG implantation (group 2). The implant positions could be compared with those of the reference model, and deviations could be determined. The results were tested for significance using the t-test for independent samples for groups 1 and 2. A total of 32 students subsequently completed a questionnaire about the software. Cronba
