title: Conversion of an implant radiographic template into a surgical template.
abstract: A method is presented for converting a radiographic template into a surgical template using the information acquired from the analysis of tomograms. Necessary changes of the implant position and angulation are transferred to the indexed and sectioned cast. Realignment of the initial template with the correct position allows its modification into a surgical template.
