Abstract: An implant driver assembly for placing an implant according to a digital virtually planned implant and implant position in the jaw of a patient, wherein said implant driver assembly comprises at least an implant driver and at least a surgical template, wherein the implant driver having one or more first markers, and being adapted to be aligned with the surgical template, the surgical template having a guiding element and having one or more second markers, so that alignment of one or more first markers on the implant driver when connected to the implant and one or more second markers on the surgical template defines a spiral motion of the implant when it is being inserted in a jaw bone, the implant driver and surgical template also including at least one of the one or more first and at least one of the one or more second markers for indicating the implant driver's rotational or rotationally symmetric position as defined by the digital virtually planned implant position, whereby the guiding element is a bushing

Abstract: Surgical templates and methods of manufacture to assist in a surgical procedure such as dental implant placement, where the positioning of the surgical template onto its supporting surface is achieved through using a limited number of contact features that are located such that a force-closure or form closure positioning of the surgical template with respect to the supporting surface is achieved.
