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 |
