ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a device and method for confirming bite registration for dental implants. The device has an elongated plate having one or more openings formed at an angle to a longitudinal axis of the plate. A hollow post has an exterior wall corresponding in size and shape to the openings in the plate so as to fittingly slide through a selected plate opening. An inner aperture in the post is suitable for engaging with a portion of the dental implant that extends above the healed gumline of a patient. When the post is engaged with the implant, and the plate is placed over the post, an outer surface of the plate is oriented in a substantially parallel relationship to an occlusal plane. The post and the plate are secured together to register orientation of the dental implant in relation to the occlusal plane.
