Abstract
An apparatus is provided for measuring a location and orientation of each of a plurality of dental implants. The apparatus may include a base, and a plurality of extension members protruding from the base. Each of the plurality of extension members may be movable in relation to the base. Each extension member may include a proximal end connected to the base, a distal end, and a coping connected to the distal end. The coping may be movable in relation to a corresponding extension member. Furthermore, the coping may be adapted to be mechanically locked in a selected location and orientation.
Claims23
