INTRODUCTION

The anterior maxilla is the most likely site to experience dimensional changes as a result of tooth loss due to trauma, periodontal disease, caries, etc. This bone atrophy of the edentulous ridge can present both functional and aesthetic challenges, and often requires preoperative or intraoperative bone augmentation surgery [1].

A wide range of bone augmentation materials have been proposed in the literature, including autogenous bone, xenografts, allografts, and alloplastic materials. However, autogenous bone is still considered the gold standard for bone augmentation [2].

The international consensus emphasizes that the aesthetic and functional success of dental implants depends essentially on the three-dimensional positioning of the implant, regardless of the implant system, bone augmentation materials, or surgical technique used [3].

Digital implantology, particularly guided implant surgery, offers numerous benefits. It simplifies surgical procedures, ensuring precise three-dimensional implant placement and optimizing clinical outcomes. Digital planning allows for accurate diagnosis of the implant site and virtual visualization of the final restoration. It also reduces surgical time and lowers complication rates. These advantages contribute to the steady growth and increasing interest in digital implantology [4].
