title: A radiopaque implant template for partially edentulous patients.
abstract: This article describes a technique to fabricate a radiographic template using a vacuum-formed template with radiopaque putty impression material. This allows the position and contour of the proposed restoration to be seen with computerized tomography (CT). After planning, the radiographic template can be modified to be used as a surgical guide.
