Application
In order to create guide channels prior to the surgical
part of the treatment, the dentist (or dental technician)
drills through the radiopaque teeth. These channels
assist the clinician during the surgical intervention. In
order to establish ideal prerequisites for the subsequent
fabrication of the superstructure, the angles of the
implant axes must be as parallel as possible. Transformation of the diagnostic stent
into a surgical stent
Practice/Laboratory
When the dentist receives the stent from the laboratory,
he or she can conduct a try-in to examine the aesthetics,
phonetics and function of the planned dental restora-
tion. It is advisable to make any necessary adjustments
before the radiographic examination.
The radiograph serves as an additional treatment
planning instrument. It enables the dental professional
to establish the location and angulation of the implants,
taking the bone substance and functional requirements
of the future restoration into consideration.
(If necessary, radiographic balls or hollow titanium
cylinders may be used with the stent.)
