Abstract
A method and system for facilitating the placement of a dental implant device using augmented reality, and simultaneously capturing the result of the placement for subsequent planning procedures. By planning a desired dental implant location using one or more preoperative images of a patient and overlaying the planned dental implant location and the one or more preoperative images on the patient through virtual reality means, a clinician may be provided with an awareness of the positional relationship between the preoperative images and the planned implant position.
