Fabrication of an implant radiologic-surgical stent for the partially edentulous patient.
This article describes a technique for fabrication of an implant radiologic-surgical stent, made of thermocurable clear resin, for the partially edentulous patient. Dual-curing composite resin is mixed with colored chalk powder and incorporated into the stent to provide contrast during computerized tomographic bone evaluation and to serve as an easily visible guide during fixture placement.
