It is provided an equipment for treatment of a person, wherein the equipment is configured to achieve a target denture geometry characterized by a target denture plane (3), the target denture plane lying parallel to an internal ear line (11) through a left internal ear point (7) and a right internal ear point (9) of the person. Further, a manufacturing method is provided.

A depth adjustable surgical pin retains a surgical template at a desired depth, vertical and horizontal position, and pressure against an organic substrate. The surgical pin provides a housing and a retention rod that work in conjunction to achieve this retention function. The housing is defined by a mount end, rod end, inner sidewall having a female thread, and an outer sidewall having ridges for adhering to a drill guide aperture of the surgical template. The housing sets at a predetermined depth in the drill guide aperture. The retention rod comprises a proximal end having a cap, distal end tapering to a sharp point, and a male thread that threadably engages the housing. The retention rod serves as an anchor and provides added strength to the surgical template. The housing becomes an integral part of the surgical guide template to guide the retention rod into a locking position.

A method for creating a tooth bud ablation system including a custom surgical stent and an ablation probe tip for use in a tooth bud ablation procedure that results in the agenesis of a tooth in a patient.

The present invention providing a real-time positioning ultrasonic system that locates the dental implant drill bit relative to placed reference points or fiducial markers, and guides the drill entry point and angular trajectory, so that drilling is effected in the most optimum location in the jaw bone, as planned based on pre-surgery cone-beam computed tomography scans.

In some aspects, dental drill guides can include a body defining an outer surface and an interior hole for receiving and positioning a dental drill; a first end of the body defining a tapered lead-in portion of the outer surface; a second end of the body opposite the first end defining at least one lip feature configured to be gripped by a handling tool; an outer circumferentially formed recess around the outer surface; and a seating feature extending from the outer surface.

A connection device (1) between a dental prosthesis, or an abutment framework for a dental prosthesis, and a master model, extending longitudinally between a first end (1a) and a second end (1b). The first end (1a) has a first connecting segment (T1) intended to be received in an implant analog, while the second end (1b) has a second connecting segment (T2) intended to be received in the dental prosthesis or the abutment framework. The first connecting segment (T1) has an outer thread (6), while the second connecting segment (T2) has a cylindrical portion (7).

Method of customizing and manufacturing tooling for preparing an osteotomy for receiving a dental implant, in particular drills and/or osteotomes. The method comprises the steps of: receiving scan data modeling a planned position of the osteotomy and surrounding jaw bone area; generating on the basis of the scan data a virtual implant model of the dental implant; generating a virtual tooling model of the tooling on basis of the virtual implant model; computer aided manufacturing of the tooling on the basis of the virtual tooling model.

A partially customizable single-piece dental implant includes a preformed bone-anchorage component and an abutment component that is custom milled from a block either preoperatively, (i.e., Process A) or intraoperatively, (i.e., Process B). In Process A, the planned abutment shape is designed by a computer-aided design (CAD) software based on a computerized tomographic scan and other patient data. Alternatively, under Process B, the position of the planned implant with respect to the alveolus is digitally captured (e.g., by an optical impression device or an intraoperative computerized tomographic scan). In both Process A and Process B, a blank implant having the millable block is held to allow a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) machine to customize the abutment component, as well as part of the bone-anchorage component. The resultant dental implant is then inserted in the alveolus and either a provisional or permanent prosthesis can then be immediately loaded on the implant.

A snap-on snap-off drill stop device for boring into a tooth and or in bone. The stop device that impedes insertion of the bore device into the tooth or bone tissue beyond predetermined depths at pre-selected stages of a drilling process by simplifying the tedious process of exchanging drill bits and drill stops for the ultimate size and depth bore.

Apparatus and method for installing a multi-tooth dental prosthesis in one session are shown and described. A first tool attaches to the jawbone, and serves as a foundation for subsequently used guides. Existing teeth and dental fixtures are removed, and the bone tissue is removed to accommodate the prosthesis. Subsequently, a drill guide is used to drill implant holes. An abutment guide is then used to place abutments. Copings are then installed. Next, the prosthesis may be installed and cemented to the copings. A resinous filler material may be applied to fill gaps and holes in and between the copings and the prosthesis, and is sanded smooth.
