Optimized library solution for dental implants

A method, comprising:

• receiving a set of printer parameters;
• printing, based on the set of printer parameters, a 3D-printed test model, wherein the plurality of analog pockets have a differing one or more of analog pocket diameters, analog pocket heights, interior dental analog retention features, analog pocket geometries, and analog pocket designs to accommodate different dental analogs having the differing one or more of analog pocket diameters, analog pocket heights, interior dental analog retention features, analog pocket geometries, and analog pocket designs, wherein each of the plurality of analog pockets corresponds to the uniquely identified analog library file, the uniquely identified analog library file describing the differing one or more of analog pocket diameters, analog pocket heights, interior dental analog retention features, analog pocket geometries, and analog pocket designs of the respective analog pocket;
• receiving an identifier of one of the plurality of analog pockets that best fits a selected dental analog;
• and
• printing, based on the set of printer parameters, a dental prototype model of a patient's jaw based on the uniquely identified analog library file corresponding to the best fitting one of the plurality of analog pockets associated with the identifier, wherein a fit between the selected dental analog and an analog pocket in the dental prototype model is substantially the same as the fit between the selected dental analog and the best fitting one of the plurality of analog pockets associated with the identifier.
