This study evaluates three different methods of dental implant surgery-freehand, pilot-drilled, and fully guided techniques-in patients with partial tooth loss (partial edentulism). Dental implants are widely used to restore missing teeth, but the success of these procedures depends heavily on accurate placement and surgical precision. The study involves 90 participants, divided into three groups of 30, each undergoing one of the three surgical techniques. The main goals are to compare surgery duration, implant placement accuracy, post-operative recovery, patient satisfaction, and long-term success rates. Key findings suggest that fully guided implant surgery offers the highest accuracy, the shortest recovery time, and the highest patient satisfaction. Pilot-drilled surgery also showed excellent results, providing a balance between precision and efficiency. Freehand surgery, while flexible, showed slightly lower accuracy and higher complication rates. This research aims to guide patients and healthcare providers in selecting the most suitable implant surgery method for improved outcomes and long-term success in dental care.
