Abstract:
In summary, there is no substitute for thorough diagnosis, treatment planning, and meticulous surgical and prosthetic treatment. Proper utilization of surgical and radiographic correction-stents is one of the important aspects of the presurgical phase. The stents facilitate the accurate placement of implants in optimal positions where sufficient bone is present. In cases with insufficient bone, the stents may help in making a strategic alteration of the chosen implant site.
