abstract = {ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical effect of a digital whole-process surgical guide for immediate implantation in the molar area.MethodsTwenty-six patients with molar extraction plans were accepted for preoperative CBCT and model construction. Computer software was used to design the ideal three-dimensional position of the implant. The control group of 13 patients underwent immediate implantation with a free hand operation, whereas the experimental group of 13 patients underwent preparation and implant insertion under the guidance of a surgical guide. Bone grafting was performed, and a good initial stability was achieved. After 5 to 6 months, osseointegration was achieved, and the final restoration was delivered. After surgery, the accuracy of the three-dimensional position of the implants was measured, and at the 6 month return visit, the modified Plaque Index (mPLI), modified Sulcular Bleeding Index (mSBI) and probing depth (PD) were measured.ResultsIn the control group and experimental group, the vertical errors at the top of the implants were 1.246 ± 0.072 mm and 0.628 ± 0.046 mm (t = 26.078, P &lt; 0.001), respectively, and the horizontal errors were 1.563 ± 0.086 mm and 0.546 ± 0.056 mm (t = 35.813, P &lt; 0.001), respectively; and the vertical errors at the root of the implants were 1.352 ± 0.042 mm and 0.532 ± 0.030 mm (t = 57.021, P &lt; 0.001), respectively, and the horizontal errors were 1.645 ± 0.076 mm and 0.625 ± 0.072 mm (t = 35.086, P &lt; 0.001), respectively. For the experimental group, the mPLI value was 0.923 ± 0.760, the mSBI value was 0.846 ± 0.689, and the PD value was 3.460 ± 0.713 mm, which were significantly lower than those of the control group. For the control group, the mPLI value was 1.769 ± 0.927 (t = 2.546, P = 0.018), the mSBI value was 1.692 ± 0.947 (t = 22.605, P = 0.016) and the PD value was (4.579 ± 0.475) mm (t = 4.709, P &lt; 0.001).ConclusionA digital surgical guide plate can increase the precision of immediate implantation and the peri-implant health in the molar area.}
