List of advantages and disadvantages of implementing surgical static guided surgery.

Advantages	Disadvantages
Avoid risks of injuring important anatomical structures	Steep initial learning curve
Involve multidisciplinary approaches	High initial cost
Possible avoidance of complex bone regeneration/grafting technique	Increased preoperative surgical planning
Reduced surgical chairside time	Adequate mouth opening; challenges for microstomia patient or posterior implant placement.
Allow minimal surgical intervention (flapless surgery)	Limited visual on implant crestal depth location
Improve dentist-patient communication due to required preoperative planning	Risk of fracture on the surgical templates
