Abstract: Immediate implant placement is proven as a predictable surgical option with similar success rates, but shorter treatment time compared with delayed implant placement. It even allows for immediate restoration to meet the patient’s aesthetic needs with maximum preservation of hard and soft tissues. However, immediate implant placement in the aesthetic zone is technically challenging due to the morphology of the extraction socket and various surgical factors. Conventional freehand manipulation struggles against the resistance of the dense palatal bone plate, potentially leading to aesthetic or biological complications when the implant deviates buccally. With the development and maturation of computer-assisted technology, digital implant guides have been widely used in implant surgery, which can significantly improve accuracy compared with freehand techniques. However, there is a paucity of studies that have reported the accuracy and influencing factors of immediate implant placement using these digital guides. This article reviews the accuracy and influencing factors of digital surgical guides for immediate implant placement in the aesthetic zone.
