The quickly usable efficient surgical template (quest) for determining theangulation andalignment of dental implants

Surgical templates guide the proper and precise placement of dental implants. Conventional templates may lack stability and thus be less predictable than those fabricated using modern computer programs. But the computer generated surgical templates are expensive, and require specialized gadgets with trained personnel. Therefore a faster, economical and equally efficient technique is needed. This article illustrates a technique of fabricating a surgical template using easily available dental materials and simple instruments. This template will guide the operator to place and position the dental implant more precisely as well as it help him to determine the implant angulation accurately.
