  • IMPLANT PLACEMENT ASSIST SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20210145549
    Abstract: Implant placement assist (IPA) systems and methods for creating a dental implant chamber in an alveolar ridge of a jawbone of a patient, the alveolar ridge being atrophied and needing augmentation before a dental implant can be placed. The IPA system includes a non-osseous spacer and an anchor to maintain a position of the non-osseous spacer within a bone graft cavity of a patient. Bone graft material can be positioned around the non-osseous spacer and the anchor and maintained within the bone graft cavity during healing, where bone is regenerated within the bone graft cavity. After healing, the non-osseous spacer can be removed, thereby forming the dental implant chamber that is immediately ready to receive a dental implant.
