    Abstract:
    The following technique describes the virtual planning of a single implant by combining an intraoral digital scan, an open-source computer-aided design software program, bone sounding, and 2D radiographic imaging. The surgical implant guide is fabricated using additive manufacturing technologies. Further, the surgical implant guide positioned in the patient's mouth is used to radiographically verify the estimated mesiodistal implant angulation before proceeding with the surgical intervention and can be modified if necessary. When a CBCT scan is not available, this technique eases implant planning procedures and minimizes possible surgical complications.
