ABSTRACT Purpose: Deviations of implants that were placed by conventional computed tomography (CT)‐ or cone beam CT (CBCT)‐derived mucosa‐supported stereolithographic (SLA) surgical guides were analyzed in this study. Materials and Methods: Eleven patients were randomly scanned by a multi‐slice CT (...
