  • Dental drill guide and method
    Publication number: 20040048225
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for guiding the formation of multiple, parallel holes in bone or implant in the mouth of a patient. A bar is engagable with a pivot and a slidable drill guide moves along the bar. Rotation of the bar about the pivot and radial movement of the drill guide relative to the bar permits selective positioning of the drill guide at different locations. The drill guide directs a drill bit to control hole formation of one or more holes parallel to the original reference. The angle, proximity and location of holes can be controlled.
