Abstract
An impression tray includes a tray holder; a U-shaped body coupled to the tray holder; and a plurality of indicators positioned on the tray holder and the U-shaped body. The impression tray allows the scanning process to be simplified as the indicators are used for registering the scanned model to patient anatomy. Doctors can examine the scan of the patient first and then make decision for surgical guide. The fabrication system setup is relatively simple. There is no specialized orientation jig. Regardless of the position of the stone model, the coordinates of the drill can be easily calculated.
