Implant related technology spread rapidly and is currently one of the general practices in the field of dentistry. Implant procedure refers to the procedure that places prosthetic tooth in the place where tooth has been lost or missing and installs the prosthetics in the head of the implant tooth. This helps the tooth maintain its natural functions as much as possible without damaging the teeth or the organs surrounding it.
Surgical procedure for implant is divided into two categories of soft tissue surgery and bone cutting surgery. Basic of the soft tissue surgery is not very different from regular periodontal surgery but there are special techniques that are required in order to supplement the soft tissues when they are in lack. Bone cutting surgery goes through the process of cutting the cortical bone and cancellous bone. Basic principle is that a small home is drilled and then it will be widened gradually until it almost matches the diameter of the implant or little smaller than this. After this, the implant tooth is placed in. Through the implant related procedure, implant is placed in the dental root which will replace the missing tooth of the patient to function in its place.

As based on the prior art, implant procedure was conducted by exposing the bone by forming the flap that involves cutting the gum in order to find out about the shape and the direction of the bone which provides information regarding the shape and the direction of the alveolar bone. This type of method causes great pain and slows down the recovery process of the patient as it involves incision and suturing the soft tissue. Moreover, time it takes a long time to perform the procedure which causes significant amount of stress for both the patient and the doctor performing the procedure. Thus, this will greatly help the patient and the doctor to perform the procedure that does not involve incisions. The problem at hand is that expensive equipment such as CT scanner should be used in order to figure out the shape and the direction of the bone. Moreover, problem that arises when the scanner provides distorted images which gives no other alternatives but to perform an invasive procedure that involves incisions.
In order to resolve the problem as stated above, this invention helps figure out the direction and shape of the bone without having to form the flap through gum incision. This also eliminates image distortion and the error that may occur during CT scan as well as making it possible to check the shape and direction of the bone by installing it in the patient's mouth. Solution to the problem that this invention seeks to achieve is to enable the implant procedure by looking at the alveolar bone structure and the direction display device directly in the mouth which makes it possible to check the direction and the shape of the bone by forming a hole in the gum without having to make severe incisions and to provide measurement method which makes use of alveolar bone structure and the direction display device tool.
Current invention increases the level of accuracy by performing the implant procedure without gum incision by checking the shape and direction of the bone by installing the shape and the direction of the bone by directly installing it in the patient's mouth. Prior art of implant method involved exposure of the bone and severe incisions but this method is more advantageous as it improves accuracy without incisions and provides faster recovery time and less pain as it creates a hole in the gum on the implant spot only. Moreover, this type of less invasive procedure involves high priced CT scanner in which there is also the risk of inaccurate procedure due to error in the image from the scanner. Current invention prevents this type of disadvantages and provides the economic advantage over expensive treatments.
The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Current invention has following advantages: it increases the accuracy as implant procedure can be performed by checking the shape and the direction of the bone as the direction and the shape of the bone is installed directly in the patient's mouth without having to perform gum incision.
Traditional implant procedures involved too much gum incision but through this invention, it only creates a hole on the spot where implant procedure is to take place which in turn allows less pain and faster healing for the patient. Moreover, this type of less invasive procedure requires expensive CT scanner. Using the scanner may result in incorrect procedure because of the distorted images that scanners can produce but this invention makes up for such disadvantages and poses less economic burden as well.
