A method to transfer planned implant locations to a preorthodontic cast

A technique is presented to transfer the orthodontic implant position from the diagnostic tooth arrangement onto the original cast. Plastic cast bases combined with a customized position plate are used to fabricate duplicates of the original dental casts. The position plate is customized with a transparent ruled grid trimmed and attached on its upper surface to allow easy transfer of the proposed implant position from the diagnostic arrangement to the original cast.
