ABSTRACT:
An implant designing method to be applied to a body of bone which has a bone deficient portion, wherein the bone being substantially symmetric with respect to a plane of symmetry, includes generating three-dimensional data of the bone based on a plurality of pieces of tomographic data of the bone, and estimating a shape of a bone that is to exist at the bone deficient portion using part of the three-dimensional data corresponding to a symmetrical part of the bone deficient portion.
