The functional and esthetic importance of surgical templates associated with dental implants has been discussed. The design of the stent and proposed location of the fixtures basically determine the dentist's "wish list." Although ideal placement of an implant fixture often is achieved, it can be aided through use of a surgical template. Particularly useful in larger partially edentulous cases as described above, the ideal template is made of hard acrylic with holes slightly larger than the 3.0 mm drill often used during surgery. Construction of a template requires the dentist and surgeon to think about the case, create a wax-up, and decide on location before constructing the appliance. This process will benefit all, particularly the patient, and provide a foundation for a long-lasting prosthetic result.
与牙种植体相关的手术模板的功能和美学重要性已得到讨论。支架的设计和种植体的建议位置基本上决定了牙医的“愿望清单”。尽管种植体的理想植入位置常常能够实现，但使用手术模板可以辅助实现这一目标。如上述在较大的部分牙列缺损病例中特别有用，理想的模板由硬质丙烯酸制成，其孔略大于手术中常用的3.0毫米钻头。制作模板需要牙医和外科医生在制作器械之前对病例进行思考、制作蜡型并确定位置。这一过程将使所有人受益，尤其是患者，并为持久的修复效果奠定基础。
