Fabricating a chairside CAD-CAM radiographic and surgical guide for dental implants: A dental technique

The conventional method of diagnosing and treatment planning an implant-supported restoration involves making a diagnostic alginate impression and fabricating a radiographic and surgical guide. The procedure described uses an intraoral scanner and milling unit to fabricate a chairside computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing radiographic and surgical guide for use with a cone beam computed tomography system.
