Work Instruction GUIDE-SYSTEM

Guide System 12 FABRICATION OF AN X-RAY TEMPLATE The x-ray template is functional and preferably made of transparent plastic. In the previously deep-drawn template, the missing teeth are then filled with suitable x-ray opaque plastic (at least 15–20% barium sulphate con- tent). The teeth filled in this manner must be flush with the gingiva (see gra- phic) in order to represent the exact gingiva height. NOTE Further information on fabricating a suitable x-ray template incl. cor- rect positioning of any reference objects that may be required is available from the manufacturer of the 3D planning system.
