Claim One:
1. A system, for planning an oral or facial endosseous implantation in a patient, comprising: processor; a bone imaging module that can communicate bone data to the processor; the bone data representative of at least a portion of a bone of the skull of the patient; a surface imaging module that can communicate surface data to the processor, the surface data representative of at least a portion of a surface, of the patient, that is apart from the bone; wherein the processor can process the bone data and the surface data into an output comprising three-dimensional (3-D) virtual representation data indicative of at least one of the group consisting of an oral structure and a facial structure of the patient; a computer-controlled fabricator that can produce, based on the 3-D virtual representation data, a physical model of the at least one of the group consisting of the patient's oral structure and facial structure, the physical model indicating a planned location of an endosseous implant; and a replicator device which is structured to use a non-metal custom shaped abutment created from the physical model and drill an outer surface, circumferential pattern of the non-metal custom shaped abutment onto a metal, permanent blank giving the blank the same outer surface shape as the non-metal custom shaped abutment.
