In　the　field　of　implant　dentistry,　there　is　a　trend　that　more　and　more　edentulous　patients　accept　the　computer-aided　diagnostics　and　template-guided　flapless　surgery　in　the　rehabilitation　of　the　edentulous　jaw.　In　this　study,　a　novel　implant　surgery　support　method　was　developed　for　the　implant　insertion　and　fabrication　of　mucosa-supported　surgical　template　that　helps　in　drilling　bone.　With　the　registration　technique,　the　CT　three-dimensional　model　from　CT　data　and　digital　plaster　model　were　assembled　together.　The　three-dimensional　analysis　and　virtual　implant　planning　were　performed　with　the　Simplant　software.　Then,　on　the　basis　of　preoperative　planning　information,　the　mucosa-supported　surgical　template　was　designed　and　finally　fabricated　via　the　rapid　prototyping　technique.　A　clinical　case　reported　for　an　edentulous　patient　demonstrated　the　reliability　and　validity　of　this　technology,　worthy　of　clinical　application.　©　2012　IEEE.
