Abstract:
A technique for fabrication of an implant radiographic-surgical template for the partially-edentulous patient is proposed. A mixture of barium sulfate and acrylic resin provides a radiopaque template of the planned implant restorations in relation to the hard tissues. This template is easily converted to a surgical guide.
