20080227056 | STENT FOR IMPLANT GUIDE AND PROSTHETICS - A method of virtually producing a dental stent for placing one or more dental implants based on data derived from scanning a patient's mouth and a prosthesis to be installed or an impression of the patient's existing teeth. The virtual dental stent is converted to a usable dental stent, which is, thereafter, used to guide the placement of the one or more dental implants into the patient's jawbone. After the dental implants have been placed, a prosthesis can be mounted onto the dental implants. | 09-18-2008 |
