This invention is a titanium plate developed for the temporary support of dental implant fixtures during alveolar ridge bone regeneration. When the alveolar ridge bone where the implant fixture is to be applied is very weak or damaged, this invention enables implant operation on the weak bone by temporarily supporting the implant fixture during the bone recovery time. This invention is characterized by a flat plane shape, a body section with one or more pass-through holes formed along its length, multiple arms extending from each side of the body section with a pass-through hole at the terminal of each arm for fixture to the alveolar ridge bone or facial bone with a micro screw. The body section is designed to be placed between the cover screw that passes through the hole and the implant fixture to hold the implant fixture firmly in place. The plate provides space for bone regeneration and can be readily removed after the completion of the implant-bone integration.
