The present invention relates to a surgical dental tool for assisting with the implantation of a dental implant. The tool is designed to create an opening in a patient's jaw into which the dental implant will be inserted. In one embodiment, the tool includes a handle, a blade carrier, a pick and a blade stabilizing channel formed in at least a portion of the blade carrier and extends through at least a portion of the pick. The blade stabilizing channel receives and stabilizes a cutting blade. The blade carrier may include an adjustable clamping plate for removably securing the cutting blade in the blade stabilizing channel. The pick may include a sheath that receives and protects the tip of the cutting blade from breakage when the blade is in the blade stabilizing channel and is being used to cut a dental implant opening.

The present disclosure relates to single tooth or full arch dental restoration. In cases where patients have insufficient bone stock for conventional root-form dental implants, current solutions often fail to restore function. The present disclosure describes a transalveolar dental implant for single tooth or full arch dental restoration. The transalveolar dental implant is comprised of a post and a bone plate, the bone plate having a contoured portion fabricated to match the topography of a bony surface of the facial skeleton. Through primary fixation of the contoured portion of the bone plate, the transalveolar dental implant improves function and outcomes in affected patients.

The invention relates to a navigation system for dental and cranio-maxillofacial surgery, comprising a surgical handpiece (2), an imaging unit (4) which is movably attached to the surgical handpiece (2), and a marker member (6; 44, 46) which is attachable to a cranial bone, a facial bone (26), a tooth or teeth of a patient. The marker member (6; 44, 46) comprises a plurality of marker elements (8, 10; 46) which are detectable by the imaging unit (4). Further, the invention relates to a positioning tool (40) for use with the navigation system, wherein the positioning tool (40) is configured for positioning the marker member (44, 46) on a patient's cranial bone, facial bone (26), tooth or teeth and comprises a die element (42) and the marker member (44, 46). The marker member (44, 46) comprises a deformable material (44), the deformable material (44) is releasably received in the die element (42) and the plurality of marker elements (46) are arranged on a surface of the deformable material (44) which faces the die element (42), The invention further relates to a navigation method for dental and craniomaxillofacial surgery using the navigation system and to a method of positioning a marker member (44, 46) on a patient's cranial bone, facial bone (26), tooth or teeth using the positioning tool (40).

This document describes a set of surgical drill guides for the upper and lower jaw, the guides aimed at locating the ideal position for dental implants in edentulous patients. The guides are made up of a surgical stent material from metal or other rigid material that is aligned to provide support and stability of fully edentulous upper and lower jaw to orient surgical drills in the area of operation. The present embodiment comprises a U-shape metal plate provided form or shaped resembling a toothless upper or lower jaw and containing a top surface of the surgical stent that is contacting the soft tissue of maxilla or mandibula and the bottom surface of the stent that has the same shape as a top one.

An intraoral 3D scanner includes a probe light source configured to generate a probe light such that the probe light is transmitted towards the dental situation; a camera including an array of sensor elements, the camera being arranged such that the probe light from the dental situation is transmitted to the array of sensor elements, wherein the camera is configured to create images of the dental situation from which a point cloud is generated, and a guiding system configured to guide relative movement of the intraoral 3D scanner towards the dental situation, wherein the camera is part of the guiding system, the camera is configured to record images from which a relative position of the intraoral 3D scanner and the dental situation is determined, such that based on the relative position, the guiding system is configured to provide a positioning signal in the form of a positioning color code.

Disclosed herein is a preliminary guide including an impression resin and a guide tray. The guide tray includes an impression resin accommodation part, a jig fastening part, a protective cover part, and a grip part.

An implant-supported denture placement and alignment system may include a denture apparatus. The denture apparatus may have a denture base and a denture base positioning system. The denture base may comprise an implant guide system and be connectable to implants. In this manner, the denture apparatus may be positioned so that it is mountable to the implants placed according to the implant guide following their placement in a patient's mouth.

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.

An apparatus includes a first guide and a second guide. The first guide includes an arcuate horizontal body portion. A rear surface of the horizontal body portion is configured to closely mate with a front-facing bone structure of an alveolar arch of a patient. The second guide includes a body and a coupling member. The body defines a passageway that is configured to receive a bone reducing instrument. The coupling member is configured to mate with the horizontal body portion of the first guide. The body and the coupling member are configured to position the passageway along a second horizontal plane that is parallel with the first horizontal plane. The coupling member is configured to enable the second guide to relative to the first guide along the second horizontal plane and thereby guide the bone reducing instrument along the second horizontal plane.
