Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a physical dental model, comprising: (a) receiving a first virtual model representative of at least a part of the intra-oral cavity including at least one dental implant implanted therein, the first virtual model comprising a virtual portion representative of a respective physical portion of a respective said dental implant, said virtual portion being at a virtual spatial disposition with respect to said first virtual model; (b) receiving an implant spatial disposition of the respective said dental implant with respect to said part of the intra oral cavity based on said virtual spatial disposition; and (c) manufacturing the physical dental model, corresponding to said part of the intra-oral cavity, based on said first virtual model, said physical dental model including a physical analog corresponding to the respective said dental implant, said physical analog being at an analog spatial disposition with respect to said physical dental model corresponding to said implant spatial disposition of the respective dental implant with respect to said part of the intra oral cavity provided in step (b), wherein the physical analog is embedded in a jacket structure shaped to removably couple to a cavity structure formed in the physical dental model.
