Abstract---Statement of problem: Implant placement in the
mandibular posterior regions is often challenging because of limited
space and insufficient accessibility. Purpose: The purpose of this
clinical study was to investigate the accuracy of computer-guided
surgery with a long drill key to place implants in the mandibular
posterior regions. Material and methods: Computer-guided implant
surgery was performed for 15 participants requiring implants in
mandibular posterior region. This procedure involved using 6mm long
