A total of 100 TADs (BENEfit \u201cR\u201d screw, 11\u2005mm length, 2\u2005mm diameter) were inserted in the buccal shelf region between the first and second molars. Each mandible was duplicated to form two groups: (1) a guided group, where TADs were placed using a custom-designed surgical guide, and a (2) manual group, where placement was performed freehand.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The guided group showed significantly higher TAD placement accuracy than the manual group, with improved parallelism to roots, closer proximity to the buccal cortical bone, greater distance from the lingual cortical bone and root apices, more upright angulation, and increased safety from the inferior alveolar nerve (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05).

Bone measurements showed greater width at the second molar and greater length at the first molar. Correlation analyses indicated that TAD angulation and proximity to cortical bone, root apices, and the inferior alveolar nerve were positively associated with local bone width, particularly at the second molar region (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The use of 3D-printed surgical guides significantly enhanced the accuracy, safety, and clinical reliability of TAD placement in the mandibular buccal shelf, offering a valuable adjunct to orthodontic practice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fdmed.2026.1691232","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,2]],"date-time":"2026-02-02T06:31:18Z","timestamp":1770013878000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Accuracy of 3D-printed surgical guides compared with freehand technique for temporary anchorage device placement in the mandibular buccal shelf"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Yasmin","family":"Youssef","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry, Hamdan Bin Mohammed College of Dental Medicine (HBMCDM), Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences (MBRU)","place":["Dubai, United Arab Emirates"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bayan","family":"Alyammahi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry, Hamdan Bin Mohammed College of Dental Medicine (HBMCDM), Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences (MBRU)","place":["Dubai, United Arab Emirates"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amar","family":"Hassan Khamis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry, Hamdan Bin Mohammed College of Dental Medicine (HBMCDM), Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences (MBRU)","place":["Dubai, United Arab Emirates"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdel Rahman","family":"Tawfik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry, Hamdan Bin Mohammed College of Dental Medicine (HBMCDM), Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences (MBRU)","place":["Dubai, United Arab Emirates"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Ghoneima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry, Hamdan Bin Mohammed College of Dental Medicine (HBMCDM), Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences (MBRU)","place":["Dubai, United Arab Emirates"]},{"name":"Section of Orthodontics, School of Dentistry, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)","place":["Los Angeles, CA, United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e6","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tripleo.2006.11.022","article-title":"The use of miniscrew implants for temporary skeletal anchorage in orthodontics: a comprehensive review.
