Description

Abdulmalik Abdulrahman Alhelali and three co-authors compare a digital static guide with the freehand approach in root-end surgery, in a 2025 lab study. Such surgery on a tooth root has long been done by eye and hand. A printed guide that locks the drill path could lift precision and safety.

Printed models of jaws, with printed lower premolar teeth, were scanned and split by where the mental foramen sits. One group was cut freehand and one with the guide. The team read how well the nerve opening was kept safe, how large the cut was, and how long each task took.
