Abstract:BackgroundThe cortical shell technique is frequently associated with technical drawbacks, such as the lack of anatomical guidance during shell harvest and graft. This study aims to assess the horizontal bone gain and accuracy of a digitalized protocol that incorporates two interlocking patient‐specific stackable guides (PSSGs) to control the shell harvest, positioning, and fixation.Patients and MethodsTwenty patients with deficient anterior mandibles were randomly allocated; 10 patients received freehand symph… Show more
