title: A subtractive radiographic template for computer-guided surgery.
abstract: The procedure for creating a computer-aided design/computer-aided manufactured surgical template with the NobelClinician software was originally designed for the completely edentulous arch. With the development of new techniques and expanded functions in the software, guided surgery for the partially edentulous became a viable option. As of yet, few protocols have been reported for the guided surgery of immediate implants with the NobelClinician software. A new technique is described whereby the radiographic template is modified to allow the use of guided surgery for the immediate placement of dental implants after extractions.
