title: Locking acrylic resin dental stent for image-guided surgery.
abstract: This article presents a procedure for fabricating a locking acrylic resin dental stent for use in image-guided base-of-skull surgery and neurosurgery. The stent offers advantages over conventional bone screw-anchored systems to surgeons and patients. In view of the increasing use of image guidance in base-of-skull surgery and neurosurgery, prosthodontists will meet a growing demand for this type of device in the future.
