ABSTRACT:
A radiographic guide for accurately positioning a proposed implant in the jawbone of a patient. The guide has a lower rod portion configured to fit within a pilot bore drilled in the jawbone and an upper cap configured to correspond to the shape and dimensions of a commercially available implant. The rod portion may include depth markings to indicate distances from a selected reference point. Placing a guide into the pilot bore, visually inspecting the cap of the guide, and taking an x-ray using a method to give anatomically correct distances gives an indication of the appearance, probable position and angulation of the proposed implant prior to the implantation of the implant into the jawbone.
