ABSTRACT:
A method for making a template for use in a dental implant recipient's mouth whereby the template includes a guide sleeve for orienting a drill bit in a desired location and angulation for making an implant osteotomy in the recipient's maxilla or mandible. The method includes the steps of making a cast impression of the recipient's arch, drilling a hole in the cast arch substantially corresponding to the prospective osteotomy, inserting a guide post in the hole, locating a guide sleeve over the guide post; applying a resinous, template forming material on the cast arch around the guide sleeve; allowing the template material to cure to form the template; removing the guide post from the cast arch; removing the cured template from the cast arch and placing it in the patient's mouth; and radiographically visualizing the guide sleeve in the patient's mouth.
