  • Publication number: 20240398515
    Abstract: The present invention is about a method and kits that use surgical drills with high capacity to absorb heat due to their large surface area and their thermodynamic material properties. The present invention also discloses a “Crown Down” drilling sequence which is comprised of drilling the bone using not more than two drills, saving time and the number of drills needed to perform an osteotomy.

  • Patent number: 10064700
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a dental surgical guide. The method includes the steps of producing a dental cast dental cast from an edentulous patient jaw; drilling the dental cast model for inserting a radiopaque rod therein; molding a base plate thereon to produce a radiopaque marker appliance; scanning the resulting appliance in a patient's mouth using computed tomography; calculating angles from the computed tomography for adjusting protractors of a dental model laser aligner; and molding a base-plate that incorporates a telescopic drilling tube that results into the dental surgical guide.

  • Publication number: 20140227656
    Abstract: Disclosed are: a kit and a method for the instant in-office fabrication of a surgical guide. The kit comprises of: a dental model laser aligner, self-adhesive partitioning dental stickers, telescopic composed drilling tubes and radiopaque rods. The method comprises: producing a dental cast model from an edentulous patient's jaw; partitioning the edentulous space with the aid of self-adhesive partitioning dental stickers; producing a radiopaque marker appliance for a radiographic visualisation; planning on the sagital and panoramic views of the CT; aligning the dental cast model in the dental model laser aligner, bringing the dental cast model into a new position which makes a vertical being in the osteotomy direction. The final step comprises: inserting the telescopic composed drilling tube and molding a base plate resulting a surgical guide with the telescopic composed drilling tube.

  • Patent number: 8602783
    Abstract: An impression gingival cuff for taking an impression during a restoration procedure of a dental implant osteointegrated in a jaw bone. The dental implant is engageably connectable with an abutment having a prominent countour. The impression gingival cuff has a tubular-conical shape, a circumferential thin wall, two open ends including an apical end oriented towards a tooth root and a proximal end oriented towards an occlusal direction, an inner surface oriented towards the abutment and an outer surface oriented towards surrounding gingival tissue. During installation of the cuff between the dental implant and the abutment, the apical end retains the prominent contour of the abutment so that the outer surface of the cuff pushes the surrounding gingival tissue away from the abutment. This allows taking an accurate impression of both the dental implant and abutment in order to fabricate a high precision restoration.
