Dental implantology is now feasible option to conventional prosthodontics[4]. Since its inception of placing in the bone to achieve prosthetic solution that fulfils biologic, aesthetic and biomechanical requirements being a challenge. The implant site and inclination are governed by the quality of bone[1]. In prosthetically driven implantology, where placement of implant is determined by the restoration, use of radiographic and surgical along with Computed Tomography[CT] plays a important role. A stent is used for radiographic evaluation during treatment planning for implant placement and during surgical procedures to locate optimal implant placement site. The stent with dental CT scan enables us to identify the optimal position and angulation of implant relative to occlusive load. It is advisable to establish a logical continuity between the planned restoration and surgical phases. It is essential to use a transfer device which increases the predictability of success[2]. This article describes about the importance of placing stent in implant.
