An implant designing method to be applied to a body of bone which has a
bone deficient portion, wherein the bone being substantially symmetric
with respect to a plane of symmetry, includes generating
three-dimensional data of the bone based on a plurality of pieces of
tomographic data of the bone, and estimating a shape of a bone that is to
exist at the bone deficient portion using part of the three-dimensional
data corresponding to a symmetrical part of the bone deficient portion.
