This article describes a technique for precise implant placement. Following the preoperative implant planning, the surgical guide including the guide plate, double-armed zirconia sleeves, and indicator components was designed and fabricated. The drill was guided by zirconia sleeves, and the axial direction of the drill was assessed using the indicator components and measuring ruler. The implant was accurately placed in the planned position under the guidance of the guide tube.
