Abstract
Conventional tomographic radiographs can often provide sufficient info rmation for presurgical evaluation for implant placement with signific antly less radiation exposure than computer-assisted tomographic (CT) radiographs. A technique to fabricate a diagnostic stent with a remova ble indicator for the partially edentulous patient is described. This stent with an indicator guides the radiologist in making conventional tomographic images and can also be used as a template for locating the surgical sites.
