• Abstract The success of implant treatment depends on the accuracy of the diagnosis and planning. Accurate diagnosis can be achieved with clinician experience and proper diagnostic methods. Cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) helps to develop and implement a comprehensive treatment plan for the surgeon, restorative team, and patient in order to minimize complications. Radiographic stents are used during CBCT scans; however, they are not problem-free. This article describes a technique for incorporating digital scans of diagnostic casts into CBCT scans for virtual treatment planning.
