The invention concerns a method for manufacturing a template with at least one opening to drill through so as to create an appropriate bore hole in the bone of a partially toothless lower or upper jaw so as to fix an implant in said bone. Hereto a mould plate with a means of reference is made which can be put in a fitting manner over teeth which are present in the jaw and a position for the corresponding bore hole is selected and determined in relation to said means of reference. An aligning plate is made, provided with fixing means which make it possible to mount the aligning plate on the mould plate. Said opening in the aligning plate for guiding a drill is provided in such a position that, when the aligning plate is mounted on said mould plate and the latter has been provided in a fitting manner on said teeth, the position of this opening makes it possible, when drilling through said opening, to create said bore hole in correspondence with the selected position.
