4. Survey and prepare the model using the ø2.3mm drill bit w/ a drill press. Then insert a 2.3mmø X 20mm guide pin halfway into prepared site to get an ideal drilling trajectory. Secure the guide pin with super glue or wax.
5. Soften the template in water for about a minute untill it turns just transparent and malleable (do not overheat).
6. Slide the template over the secured guide pin and conform its softened base to the adjacent teeth of the edentulous ridge.
7. Allow template to cool down untill it turns opaque. Remove it from model and cold sterilize it in an appropriate disinfectant (do not autoclave).
