The purpose of this study was to introduce an occlusogram which was 1:1 photographs of dental casts and to apply it in treatment planning and post-operative evaluation for implants. Occlusogram was taken by DSC-618-A PHOTOPET which is very useful in taking occlusograms accurately with gravure film.
We picked one case out of the latest implanting cases and tried to analyze dental casts by using occlusogram for treatment planning and post-operative evaluation of the implant.
As a result, the positional relationship of four elements:alveolar ridge, implant, superstructure and opposite teeth were superimposed according to demand and we were able to determine the right position for implant-insertion and to observe the positional relationship of the four elements from occlusal direction.
