Patent number: 11730573Abstract: A method including fixing a dental drill template with a fixation pin including a rod and a head attached to the rod. The dental drill template can be fixed by inserting the rod into the drill template or a sleeve provided in the drill template such that a bearing surface of the head bears at least partially on the drill template. The rod has a shape of an essentially circular cylinder and extends from the bearing surface of the head at an essentially right angle. A diameter of the head at the bearing surface is larger than the diameter of the rod.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2022Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: STRAUMANN HOLDING AGInventors: Edmund Suter, Steffen Kühne, Patrick Streff
