        abstract = {This study aimed to evaluate and compare the accuracy and precision of surgical guides fabricated using different implant planning software and to assess the effect of time on their dimensional stability. Seven 3D-printed mandibular models were used for guided implant placement, and accuracy was analyzed via post-placement scan superimposition. Dimensional stability was assessed over 20 days using deviation analyses. Results showed BlueSky Bio guides had higher placement accuracy than 3Shape when Exoplan was used as control group. In the second parameter tested, time-related dimensional changes were statistically significant, indicating potential effects on the precision of guided implant surgery.},
