Further comments on the paper

Comments: This article describes the TSC Protocol (tubes, support, connectors) version 2.2 for construction of surgical guides for implant placement and also the possibility of insertion of the implants. This study holds significance as it shows the evolution of the TAC protocol to version 2.2, which allows the insertion of the implants in a totally guided way through a sliding tube.
