SURGICAL GUIDE FABRICATION

摘要

A digital model of a dental implant site can be modified to impart various features aligned to a trajectory for a planned drilling procedure. An object fabricated from the modified model can then be used as a mold to vacuum form or otherwise fabricate a drill guide for the drilling procedure. Numerous variations are possible to fabricate on-surface and off-surface guides, and/or thin layer guides or tube guides suitable for use in dental surgery.
