Table 4.
Comparison of the time required for implant insertion for pilot-drill guided and full-guided implant insertion. For the pilot-drill guided implant insertion, the times are itemized for short and long sleeves. The means, their standard deviations (SD), medians, minima and maxima are shown. The p-values are resulting from a pair-wise comparison. The p-values for statistically significant differences are marked in bold font
| Group | Mean | ± SD | Median | Minimum | Maximum | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pilot-drill guided | 8.84 min | 2.39 min | 8.25 min | 5.50 min | 17.16 min | < 0.001 |
| Full-guided | 6.23 min | 1.78 min | 6.17 min | 3.34 min | 10.19 min | |
| Short sleeve | 9.38 min | 2.17 min | 9.07 min | 6.30 min | 15.30 min | 0.041 |
| Long sleeve | 8.41 min | 2.50 min | 8.10 min | 5.50 min | 17.16 min |
