Aim: To validate in vitro the accuracy of a novel method for bone augmentation of horizontal alveolar bone defects with the help of a surgical guide. Material and methods: Six cone‐beam computed tomography scans of patients requiring horizontal bone augmentation were segmented and 3D printed. Two surgeons performed the bone augmentation surgery twice for each case on 3D‐printed models, using either a conventional or guided protocol. Each surgeon virtually planned the desired graft shape beforehand. The resulting grafts were compared linearly and volumetrically to the plan; graft density and surgical time were also analyzed. Results: There was significantly less graft volume outside the planned volume with the guided protocol (36.8% ± 14.1 vs. 19.6% ± 12.3, p <.01). The use of a guide increased graft accuracy at several measurement points, resulting in less overfill when using the guided protocol (1.7 ± 1.7 mm at the most coronal point, 0.2 mm ± 1.4 at 25%, 0.0 mm ± 0.9 at 50%, 0.1 mm ± 1.1 at 75%, and 0.4 mm ± 1.4 apically). Graft thickness was increased 1 mm coronally from the planned graft (2.8 mm ± 2.3 vs. 1.8 mm ± 2.2, p =.04). Surgical time increased significantly when using a guide (a difference of 2 m 26 s). Conclusion: The technique, tested here in vitro, allows surgeons to improve the accuracy of the resulting graft shape, to better compact material in the coronal portion of the graft, and to reduce the amount of graft material placed outside the planned volume.
