Computer-based implant planning involving a prefabricated custom tray with alumina landmark structures

J Prosthet Dent. 2019 Mar;121(3):373-377. doi: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2018.06.002. Epub 2018 Nov 5.

Abstract

The purpose of this technical report was to describe a method for the fabrication of a custom tray with landmark structures to coordinate cone beam computed tomography and scan data for use in guided implant surgery in patients with numerous artifact-causing metal prostheses. The fabricated custom tray can be used to coordinate cone beam computed tomography data and scan data from the dentition, as well as to fabricate the prostheses.
