• Resumen

  • Several aspects of palatal implant usage are technique sensitive. In particular, problems during the insertion stage may compromise implant osseo-integration, or its subsequent ease of handling and effectiveness. This paper describes a systematic approach to combined cephalometric and model planning, and subsequent stent fabrication for Orthosystem® palatal implants. The authors recommend this protocol in order to optimize three-dimensional control of implant positioning, and to both simplify and standardize the insertion stage.
