Abstract

A method for a dental implant process involves creating an overall image that shows a trajectory of a drill bushing in relation to a patient's jaw. The overall image shows a trajectory image that represents the trajectory of the drill bushing and a jaw image that represents the jaw. The method allows a user to move the trajectory image relative to the jaw image, which can be useful when adjusting the angular position of the actual drill bushing.
