Abstract
This article describes a method of fabricating a stent with barium sulfate and stainless steel tubes for the accurate radiographic evaluation of the relationships of the predesigned superstructure, the scheduled implant placement, and the anatomic structure. The barium sulfate in the stent depicts the outline of the predesigned superstructure, and the stainless steel tubes indicate the intended location and inclination of the implants on the computed tomographic scans. In addition, this stent can be used as a surgical stent to guide the pilot drill to the desired site.Entities:
