Background: Successful dental implanting is based on sufficient primary stability which is a prerequisite for osseointegration and early clinical success. Delicate surgical techniques can reduce the healing period after implantation. The objective of this review was to compare and evaluate accuracy of implant placement by template guides and free hand surgery. Materials & methods:  PubMed and Google scholar were the two databases used to complete the search for all full text articles available. All cross reference lists of the selected articles were screened for additional papers that could meet the eligibility criteria of the study. The search was done for studies published from 2008 to May 2018. Results: This review gave better results for guided surgery for placing implants than free hand surgery. Conclusion: This study for human health was to increase the basic knowledge of planning and placement techniques of dental implants, to improve treatment to the patients.
