Figure Lengend Snippet: Simulated bone marking (blue): ( A ) Sagittal and ( B ) coronal view of virtually planned (blue cylinders) and performed orthodontic self-drilling mini-implants (green cylinders) and surgical template (green line) on CBCT scan, ( C ) top and ( D ) front view of virtually planned (blue cylinders) and performed orthodontic self-drilling mini-implants (green cylinders) and surgical template and ( E ) front view and ( F ) sagittal view of virtually planned (blue cylinders) and performed orthodontic self-drilling mini-implants (green cylinders) and surgical template in completely edentulous upper maxilla.
Article Snippet: The bicortical orthodontic self-drilling mini-implants (Biomaterials Korea, Seoul, Republic of Korea) randomly assigned to the NAV, AR and FHT study group were placed in the anatomically based standardized polyurethane models of a completely edentulous upper maxilla by a unique operator who was allowed access to the planning.
