Planning Template
A planning template is fabricated to
review the planned implant positions in
the mouth. The template can be converted
to a drilling template later.
The dental technician initially fabricates
a complete wax-up/set-up with all missing
teeth in their ideal prosthetic position
for preliminary planning of the prosthetic
design. In accordance with the
"backward planning" principle, any
anatomical deficits are not considered at
this stage. The treatment goal specifies
the surgical and prosthetic procedure.
A silicone index is fabricated from this
set-up. After hardening, the index is
divided orally along the central occlusion
to form a labial and an oral section. An
acrylic template can be fabricated with
the aid of the silicone index.
Alternatively, the work can be done with
a rigid vacuum foil via a duplicate cast.
Depending on the x-ray methods, radioopaque
markers (e.g., titanium, steel,
barium sulfate) are integrated.
