Dental implants Custom Tray Fabrication

Hi, I graduated from dental lab school a few years ago and currently only work in the prep dept. I found another lab job where i do more prep work and custom trays is one task i find a lil hard since i was never taught it in depth.

At my job i have to construct custom trays for implants and my boss is really getting frustrated since I'm not really getting the idea of how to fabricate a custom tray for implant cases. Can you please help inform me on what it is i need to understand as far as making implant custom trays? Any info is really appreciated thanks..

If you can make a crown and bridge custom tray. You can make the implant tray. There are two type of trays a closed tray and an open tray. the only difference is the open one has holes over the implants to screw and unscrew the implant.Just depends on what the doc ask for.

I like to you use light cured mat. like Triad. I use one thickness of wax plate.over the hole tray as spacer for impression mat. . First you should block out with wax over the space were the implants will be placed on the cast. the wax should be 5 to 10 mils. past the height of the teeth to leave room for the height of the implant screw. fab the tray like you would for a C&B.
