Two recent meta-analysis13,14 con cerning the precision of surgical guides resulting from 3-D imagery, even if these do not apply spe cifically to the lateral incisor replacement, has found a deviation in the order of a millimetre at the point the implant emerges and 4 to 5 degrees as regards the drilling axis. For Van Assche et al.,14 the average imprecision at the apex of the implant is 1.24 mm. Since these measurements are incompatible with a 12 or 22 implant corridor, it is important to check the first drill hole(s) during the operation, whether the surgery is guided or being carried out freehand. If the implant clinic does not have retro alveolar X-ray equipment, portable generators such as the AnyRay II (VATECH) are available on the market, which allow you to produce intraoperative images (Fig. 16).
