Abstract
Computer-guided full-arch dental rehabilitation, which is highly technique-sensitive, benefits from advancements in 3-dimensional-printed guides and open-source software. Critical pre-surgical planning includes patient selection, health history evaluations, and detailed imaging like cone beam computed tomography scans. Various surgical guides-freehand, static, dynamic, stackable, and interchangeable-are used based on case complexity, with stackable guides improving workflow efficiency. Post-operative care involves verifying prosthesis occlusion and clear patient instructions, focusing on mitigating complications through thorough planning. Future enhancements in implant planning and guide design are expected with the integration of artificial intelligence into digital workflows.
