A method of performing a sinus lift procedure comprising the use of a sidecutting drill as one step in the procedure. The sidecutting drill creates a circumferential lateral cut near the sinus floor, thereby allowing upfracturing of the sinus floor over a greater area than would otherwise be possible absent the circumferential lateral cut. The sidecutting drill includes a tip extending in a planar nonuniform manner from the centerline of said drill with one or more cutting edges located on the extended portion for cutting through tissue.

A method of conducting a sinus lift procedure is provided. A secure and physical interaction is formed between a fiducial device and a site within a patient's mouth to form a fiducial marker. A virtual incising plan is formed for incising the patient's maxilla, with respect to the fiducial marker, for providing access to a sinus membrane. Movement of an incising device is physically regulated with respect to the fiducial marker with a guidance device. The incising device is in physical communication with the fiducial marker via the fiducial device. The guidance device physically regulates movement of the incising device, according to the virtual incising plan and corresponding with physical manipulation of the incising device by a user, to incise the maxilla. Tactile feedback is provided to the user, via the incising device, if the physical manipulation of the incising device by the user deviates from the virtual incising plan.

An implant plate device comprises a plate base body, further comprises at least one fixing recess, which is introduced in the plate base body and is configured for receiving a jawbone screw that is configured, for a fixation of the plate base body, to be screwed through the fixing recess into a bone, in particular a jawbone, and comprises at least one inner thread adjoining the fixing recess, wherein the implant plate device comprises at least one functional recess, introduced in the plate base body, for a coupling with an orthodontic treatment apparatus and/or with a drilling and/or insertion templet.

Osseodensification device for dental implants, consisting of a device that, through osseodensification techniques, allows the drilling and compaction of the alveolar bone for carrying out dental implants in the jaw or mandible. It comprises a rotary tool that turns a dental drill fitted with interchangeable cutting grooves of different diameters (in mm): 2.0, 2.3, 2.5, 2.8, 3.0, 3.3, 3.5, 3.8, 4.0, 4.3 and 4.5, the drills in turn having a maximum length of 31 mm, and the maximum length of the active part of 16 mm, of great accessibility to the bottom of the oral cavity. Rotation of the drill in a clockwise direction causes osseodensification by depositing on 10 the walls and at the apex of the osteotomy, elevating the floor membrane of the maxillary sinus by means of hydropneumatic pressure filling the floor of the sinus with material.

An arrangement and an implant are provided for increasing the stress resistance of the implant arranged in an upper jaw bone. The implant has access via parts to the sinus cavity. At these parts, the implant is arranged with a convex or rounded front surface which, upon access, lifts the sinus mucous membrane, without piercing the latter, and thus forms a closed space between the parts and the underside of the mucous membrane. The implant is provided, at least at these parts, with growth-stimulating substance or substances which interact with cell-containing body fluid which penetrates or has penetrated into the space, so that new bone is formed around these parts of the implant.

Bioresorbable inflatable devices and tunnel incision tool and methods for treating and enlarging a tissue or an organ or a tube or a vessel or a cavity. The device is composed of a hollow expanding pouch made of a resorbable material that can be attached to a filling element. The pouch can be filled with a biocompatible materials, one or more times in few days interval, after the insertion of the device. While filling the pouch every few days the tissue expands and the filling material if it is bioactive start to function. The tunnel incision tool composed of a little blade that emerges from the surface of the tool in order to make shallow incisions in the surrounding tissue therefore enabling easy expansion of the tissue. This device and method can be used for example for: horizontal and vertical bone augmentation in the jaws and the tunnel incision tool is used to make shallow incisions in the periosteum when using the tunnel technique, sinus augmentation when the device is placed beneath the Schneiderian tissue, vessels widening if the pouch become a stent etc.

A method is provided that includes injecting, during a dental procedure, from a first side of a bone, through (a) exactly one bore that passes through the bone from the first side to a second side of the bone, and (b) into a cavity adjacent to the second side of the bone, a solid-liquid composition of solid particles and a physiological liquid solution. During the dental procedure, the physiological liquid solution is drained from the cavity and through the bore while inhibiting passage of the solid particles of the solid-liquid composition, such that the solid particles accumulate in the cavity. Injecting the solid-liquid composition includes pumping the solid-liquid composition at a pulsating positive hydraulic pressure.

An adjustable dental implant comprises an implant body, a connecting structure, and two wings. The implant body comprises a fixture and an abutment. The fixture comprises a top, a bottom, a peripheral surface connected between the top and the bottom, and a joining portion formed on the peripheral surface. The abutment is set on the top of the fixture. The connecting structure is set between the fixture and the abutment. The wings are pivotally connected with two opposite sides of the connecting structure. Or, one of the wings is pivotally connected with the connecting structure, and the other wing is fixed with the connecting structure. The wing or the wings may be adjusted to fit the surface of the cortical bone. Dental posts are allowed to penetrate the alveolar bone entirely to secure the fixture.

A bone foundation guide system having a bone foundation guide with a foundation guide body forming an open surgical space connecting a top of the bone foundation guide body with a bottom of the bone foundation guide body, the bottom contoured to removably affix the bone foundation guide body to the bone of a dental implant surgical site, the body further contoured to guide the cutting of bone from a dental implant surgical site and supporting a dental implant surgical guide; the dental implant surgical guide contoured to removably mate to the bone foundation guide body; wherein a combination of the bone foundation guide and the dental implant surgical guide forms a double open-ended placement channel that passes through a plurality of guiding cylinders held in tandem alignment to aid in the placement of a dental implant that is anchored in a site remote from the mouth.
