Abstract
Introduction: This article describes a method of evaluation of available alveolar bone dimensions and guided implant placement in a patient with the fabrication of diagnostic-surgical implant template. Case Report: We present a case of 37-year-old female patient with a missing tooth to be replaced with dental implant using guiding template. The diagnostic template was transformed into a surgical template for implant surgery. The method described is simple, enabling the practitioner to perform radiographic diagnosis and placing the implant precisely using surgical template. This helps in treatment planning and to assess available alveolar bone at the site of planned implant insertion. Conclusion: This method is easy to follow; significant time and cost savings can therefore be realized by using this template to perform dental implant osteotomy. It provides adequate accuracy in terms of implant position, angulation and predictable treatment outcome.
