Positional accuracy during the sequence of static computer-assisted implant surgery in three alveolar ridge morphologies: an in vitro study.

Positional deviations during sCAIS procedures are initiated with the first implant osteotomy and persist throughout the drilling sequence. However, deviations slightly decreased after implant placement. The alveolar ridge morphology is strongly associated with positional deviations. Higher deviations were observed in three-rooted and single-rooted sockets simulating an immediate approach compared to healed sites simulating a delayed protocol.
