Abstract: (578 Views)

The utilization of guides in dentistry presents one of the most precise and conservative approaches to executing dental procedures. A variety of guide types have been designed and introduced. This study categorizes the different types of guides while introducing each and exploring their unique characteristics. All articles pertaining to guides were collected and analyzed by searching through PubMed and ISI Web of Science databases up until 2024. Subsequently, the content was categorized into the following topics: implant surgical guides, surgical guides for esthetic crown lengthening, fiber post removal guides, endodontic guides, veneer cementation guides, and tooth reduction guides. Each category was examined in detail. Based on the findings of this review study, dental guides can be classified into: implant surgical guides, surgical guides for esthetic crown lengthening, fiber post removal guides, endodontic guides, veneer cementation guides, and tooth reduction guides. Implant surgical guides themselves can be further categorized, such as mesiodistal guides, guides specific to implant systems, and guides for All-on-4 surgeries. Additionally, innovative designs of implant surgical guides have been introduced, such as guides for sinus lift surgery and guides for guided block injection. The fabrication of these guides is now commonly performed digitally, offering high precision and speed.
