Method and system for automatic identification of a dental implant position on a bone

A system for automatically identifying a dental implant position in a bone comprising:

• a computing apparatus comprising a processor and a memory unit, the processor and memory unit being operatively coupled to each other,
• the memory unit adapted to store instructions which, when executed by the processor cause the computing apparatus to:
• receive a dental implant parameter,
• generate a digital bone model of the bone, wherein the bone is a fibula,
• identify an anterior aspect of the fibula,
• determine an implant position in the fibula.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform the steps of a method for automatic identification of a dental implant position in a bone, wherein the comprising the steps of:

• receiving a dental implant parameter,
• generating a digital bone model of the bone, wherein the bone is a fibula,
• identifying an anterior aspect of the fibula, and;
• orienting the bone model along the anterior aspect of the fibula and in a vertical orientation,
• determining the direction of the implant based on the anterior aspect of the fibula,
• determining an implant position in the fibula and;
• wherein the digital bone model is a stereolithography model of the fibula, and;
• presenting the implant position in the fibula on a user interface.
