The invention relates to a method for manufacturing at least one bone anchor and a corresponding drilling template, wherein the bone anchor has an anchor plate which is to be fixed to the surface of a bone by means of one or several screws having a screw head. The anchor plate thus has a bone side which is to connect to the surface of the bone and a free side which is opposite to said bone side. Further, the invention concerns a method for manufacturing a drilling template making it possible to make bore holes in the bone at predetermined positions and to screw the bone anchor to said bone according to predetermined orientations.

A system of components or implements for easily and precisely installing a dental implant, and a method of installing the dental implant, within a patient's jaw, is disclosed. The system comprises a rotary cutter guide and a rotary cutter. Orthogonal slots are defined within the rotary cutter guide so as to precisely position the rotary cutter within the rotary cutter guide as well as to permit the rotary cutter to form slots within a patient's jaw so as to accommodate winged members of a winged dental implant. A method of installation is also disclosed, and the system and method may be utilized in conjunction with the installation of both a single winged implant or a dual winged implant wherein the two winged implants are connected together by means of a connecting bar or plate.

A dental tool for resurfacing thread forms of a dental implant is disclosed. The tool includes a main body having a cylindrical member with a slot. A blade having a head is inserted in the slot to orient the head to protrude from the interior surface of the cylindrical member of the main body. The main body may be rotated into traversing a thread form of the implant. A compression sleeve is inserted over the main body. The compression sleeve has an open position and a closed position to hold the blade in the slot.

The invention relates to a hand-held surgical device, particularly for use in oral surgery, comprising a rotatable tool (2), a head (4) of said tool (2) having a hollow-cylindrical design, and an active region (5), particularly for machining bones, being arranged at a distal edge (3) of said head (4), characterised in that a protection device (1) is arranged which partially surrounds the distal edge (3) of the tool (2) and in some sections extends in the axial direction beyond said distal edge (3) such that only a circular arc (6) of the distal edge (3) serves as the active region (5). The invention also relates to a protection device (1) having a connecting element for detachably securing to a hand-held surgical device, particularly for use in oral surgery, wherein the protection device (1), when connected to said band-held device, partially surrounds a distal edge (3) of a tool (2) connected to the hand-held surgical device and in some sections extends in the axial direction beyond said distal edge (3) such that only a circular arc (6) of the distal edge (3) serves as the active region (5), particularly for machining bones.

The present invention relates to devices, kits, and methods for planning and carrying out surgical interventions and/or radiographic imaging, particularly dental implant radiographic imaging or surgical interventions.

A device suitable for the subsequent positioning of a dental implant, comprising: a handle extending along a longitudinal axis and having a proximal and a distal end, and a bifurcated abutment means at the distal end and at the proximal end of the handle, each comprising two legs, whereby the configuration of the two legs on the proximal abutment means is mirrored with respect to the configuration on the distal end, wherein at least one bifurcated abutment means is adapted to embrace the processus pyramidalis ossis palatini and/or the processus pterygoideus ossis sphenoidalis and/or the tuberosity of the maxilla.

A drill guide for creating a drilled implant hole for a dental implant, and a method for producing the drill guide. The drill guide includes a base part having at least one access opening and at least one sleeve. A first surface of the base part has an impression of a preparation site, and a second surface of the base part opposite the first surface has a support surface. The access opening expands from the second surface to the first surface of the base part. The access opening and the support surface are shaped in such a way that the sleeve can be inserted at least partially into the access opening, and the sleeve, when inserted, rests on the support surface and is positioned and oriented relative to the base part.

An accurate and precise surgical guide for dental procedures, especially a procedure involving a subject with few or no teeth as well as methods for making and use of such guides.

An accurate and precise surgical guide for dental procedures, especially a procedure involving a subject with few or no teeth as well as methods for making and use of such guides.

An irrigation guide for providing irrigation to the site of an osteotomy procedure. The irrigation guide includes an insertion end for insertion into an irrigation passage provided in a surgical template for guiding an osteotomy drill. The irrigation passage communicates with a guide chamber defined by the surgical template and surrounding the osteotomy site. The irrigation guide also includes a coupling end configured for connection with a source of irrigation fluid. The insertion end and the coupling end may be angled relative to one another. The insertion end of the irrigation guide may be inserted into and secured to the irrigation passage such that the irrigation guide provides a fluid communication pathway between the source of irrigation fluid and the guide chamber. The irrigation guide may be included in kits that include the surgical template and/or a drill bit configured to form the irrigation passage in the surgical template.
