Abstract: Method for placing and manufacturing a dental superstructure, method for placing implants, and accessories used in these methods.

Abstract: A method for (semi-) automatic dental implant planning (A) is described including (a) creating 3D models of a tooth setup (b) and/or creating 3D models of parts of the jaw, (c) detecting zones in the jaw where implants can (or optionally cannot be placed), (d) detecting restorative elements in the tooth setup, (e) determining candidate implant dimensions, positions, orientations and configurations, (f) obtaining implant plans, (g) comparing implant plans to each other or to given criteria, (h) selecting or improving an implant plan.

Abstract: Method for placing and manufacturing a dental superstructure, method for placing implants, and accessories used in these methods.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for placing implants using a surgical template which is made from tomographic cuts in the patient's jawbone. Step drills and calibrating drills, having a single standard diameter for each type of implant, are guided through drill bushings which are inserted into bores in the template in order to produce any drilling sequence corresponding to an implant plan. The penetration depth of the drills is controlled by the height of the bores or by the drill rings. The method limits the required number of drills and implant supports to the longest models only. The inventive method and device are particularly suitable for computer-assisted implantology systems.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for placing implants (1) using a surgical template (11) which is made from tomographic cuts in the patient's jawbone (7). According to the invention, step drills (4) and calibrating drills (5), having a single standard diameter for each type of implant (1), are guided through drill bushings (18) which are inserted into bores (15) in the template (11) in order to produce any drilling sequence corresponding to an implant plan. The penetration depth of the drills (4, 5) is controlled by the height of the bores (15) or by the drill rings (21). The aforementioned template (11) bores (15) serve as a guide for the precise placement of the implants (1) owing to the adapted implant supports (3). Moreover, washers (23), which are mounted around the implant supports (3), limit compression in relation to the implants (1) while said implants are being placed (20).
