  • ROBOTIC SYSTEMS, DEVICES AND METHODS FOR PERFORMING DENTAL PROCEDURES ON PATIENTS
    Publication number: 20240122665
    Abstract: A system for performing a dental procedure includes a hand piece having a robot arm that extends along a first axis, and a medical tool coupled with a distal end of the robot arm. The system includes a first gimbal coupled with the robot arm for rotating the robot arm and the medical tool about the first axis, a second gimbal coupled with the robot arm for tilting the medical tool up and down relative to the first axis, and a third gimbal coupled with the robot arm for moving the medical tool up and down along a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis.

  • Vertical dimension of occlusion jigs used in all-on-4 dental procedures
    Patent number: 10245131
    Abstract: A vertical dimension of occlusion jig includes a vertical support column, a lateral arm support base configured to slide along and rotate about a longitudinal axis of the vertical support column, a first lateral support arm pivotally coupled with the lateral arm support base, a first tooth gantry coupled with the first lateral support arm and adapted to slide along and rotate about a longitudinal axis of the first lateral support arm, a second lateral support arm pivotally coupled with the lateral arm support base, and a second tooth gantry coupled with the second lateral support arm and adapted to slide along and rotate about a longitudinal axis of the second lateral support arm. A temporary anchorage device (TAD) gantry is coupled with the vertical support column and is configured to slide along a longitudinal axis that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the vertical support column.
