Computer-guided implant surgery for immediate implanting and loading: The STIL technique

A method is described for minimizing errors in positioning a surgical template during the insertion of implants immediately after extraction and the placement of interim prostheses with immediate loading. The technique, called sequential template immediate loading (STIL), uses modular templates to fix pins before extracting the teeth, thus giving a reliable position for the subsequent templates for inserting the implant and placing the interim prosthesis.
