This study examined production methods\u2019 influence on surgical guide sleeve housing geometry. A model with two edentulous spaces was digitized using intraoral scanning and CBCT, and two virtually positioned implants were planned. Ten guides per group were produced using milling (MCX5), DLP printing (ASIGA and SHERA), and SLA printing (FORM), printing with 50 \u00b5m and 100 \u00b5m layers each. Each guide (n = 70) was then digitized using an industrial scanner before and after sterilization. Superimposition of the actual guide data with the reference data allowed for evaluation of deviations at the drill sleeve housing along the x-, y-, z-, and dxyz-axes. Descriptive and statistical evaluation was performed (significance level: p \u2264 0.0125). Significant differences existed among the production methods: Milling and SLA showed higher deviations than the DLP group (p &lt; 0.001). Milled guides post-sterilization showed the highest deviations (0.352 \u00b1 0.08 mm), while one DLP printer at 50 \u03bcm layer thickness showed lowest deviations (0.091 \u00b1 0.04 mm). The layer thickness was insignificant, whereas sterilization increased deviation (p &lt; 0.001). DLP produced the most precise implant surgical guides. All 3D printers were suitable for fabricating clinically acceptable surgical guides.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bioengineering12080799","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,25]],"date-time":"2025-07-25T12:56:43Z","timestamp":1753448203000},"page":"799","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Accuracy of Drill Sleeve Housing in 3D-Printed and Milled Implant Surgical Guides: A 3D Analysis Considering Machine Type, Layer Thickness, Sleeve Position, and Steam Sterilization"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2988-6784","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Seidel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthodontics, University Hospital Erlangen, Friedrich-Alexander Universit\u00e4t Erlangen-N\u00fcrnberg (FAU), Gl\u00fcckstra\u00dfe 11, 91054 Erlangen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kai","family":"Zerrahn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthodontics, University Hospital Erlangen, Friedrich-Alexander Universit\u00e4t Erlangen-N\u00fcrnberg (FAU), Gl\u00fcckstra\u00dfe 11, 91054 Erlangen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manfred","family":"Wichmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthodontics, University Hospital Erlangen, Friedrich-Alexander Universit\u00e4t Erlangen-N\u00fcrnberg (FAU), Gl\u00fcckstra\u00dfe 11, 91054 Erlangen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5900-1273","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ragai Edward","family":"Matta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthodontics, University Hospital Erlangen, Friedrich-Alexander Universit\u00e4t Erlangen-N\u00fcrnberg (FAU), Gl\u00fcckstra\u00dfe 11, 91054 Erlangen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"399","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3913(83)80101-2","article-title":"Osseointegration and its experimental background","volume":"50","year":"1983","journal-title":"J.
