The role of the template in prosthetically guided implantology.
In prosthetically guided implantology, where ideal placement of implants is determined by the definitive restoration, the use of a radiographic/surgical template plays an essential role. This article describes how to fabricate a radiographic/surgical template to be used for radiographic diagnosis of the selected implant sites and as a guide during surgery for the insertion of the implant with correct angulation.
