1. A method of customizing and manufacturing one or more customized toolings, wherein the toolings include at least one or more drills and/or one or more osteotomes for forming non-cylindrical holes, including at least one of a cutter, a chisel or a scraper, for preparing an osteotomy in a healed alveolus for receiving a dental implant, the method comprising the steps of:
receiving scan data modeling a planned position of the osteotomy and surrounding jaw bone area before making the osteotomy;
generating on the basis of the scan data a virtual implant model of the dental implant;
generating a virtual tooling model using the virtual implant model, said virtual tooling model being a model of the one or more drills including at least the length, diameter, conical angle and pitch of each said drill, and/or of the one or more osteostomes on the basis of the virtual implant model; and
computer aided manufacturing of the one or more customized toolings on the basis of the virtual tooling model.
