Implants have long been known as temporary anchorage devices serving the purpose of absolute anchorage to bring about effective tooth movement of dentoalveolar tissues. Many methods have been advocated for its precise placement including various designs for stent fabrication against which a proper site could be chosen for implant placement. This article provides an insight to a simplified way for chair-side fabrication of a stent that can help in reducing the risk of damage to adjacent dental roots, reducing the operator-patient time and improving the patient comfort and compliance
