A surgical guide for placing implants in a patient's replacement arch to support a teeth-only, gingiva-free, full-arch dental restoration device may include a surgical guide body configured to temporarily, securely mate with teeth and/or gums of a patient's replacement arch and surgical guide sleeves received in the body for guiding implant placement into a corresponding number of post-extraction root sockets of the replacement arch when the surgical guide body is mated with the teeth and/or gums, wherein each surgical guide sleeve is configured to substantially align a longitudinal axis of an implant with an axis of the corresponding post-extraction root socket, and wherein each surgical guide sleeve is configured to limit a depth of an implant within the corresponding post-extraction root socket such that a collar of the implant is generally above the outer cortex layer of the bone at least partially in the gingiva layer.

Disclosed is a lateral wall supported implant system having a supporting screw surgical guide. According to the present invention, there is provided the lateral wall supported implant system including: a primary screw placed in the alveolar bone; a surgical guide disposed on a lateral wall of the alveolar bone with the primary screw placed therein; and supporting screws passing through the surgical guide and the lateral wall and then coupled to the primary screw to provide supporting forces for the primary screws so that the primary screw is supported against the lateral wall to have the primary stability thereof.

The invention relates to manufacturing a surgical guide to be placed in a patient's mouth. The patient's mouth is scanned to obtain surgical-region scan data at a region where an implant is to be located. The patient's mouth is also scanned in the opened position to acquire dental conditions opposite from the surgical region so as to obtain opposing-condition scan data. A virtual model is developed using the surgical-region scan data and the opposing-condition scan data. Using the virtual model, a surgical plan is developed that includes the location of the implant to be installed in the patient A virtual surgical guide is also developed based on the surgical plan. The dimensions of instrumentation to be used with the surgical guide are checked to ensure they will fit within the mouth by use of the opposing-condition scan data. After checking, final surgical-guide manufacturing information is obtained for manufacturing the surgical guide.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems, devices and methods for performing a surgical step or surgical procedure with visual guidance using an optical head mounted display. Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems, devices and methods for displaying, placing, fitting, sizing, selecting, aligning, moving a virtual implant on a physical anatomic structure of a patient and, optionally, modifying or changing the displaying, placing, fitting, sizing, selecting, aligning, moving, for example based on kinematic information.

A dental implement includes a cutting head and a guide body. The cutting head defines proximal and distal ends and includes at least one cutting surface, with all cutting surfaces of the implement being exclusively located on the cutting head. The guide body is positioned proximally of the cutting surfaces and includes at least one longitudinal flute that extends between proximal and distal ends of the guide body. The flute is configured to facilitate communication of irrigation fluid to a surgical site within a patient. A stop is formed integrally with the guide body and extends radially outward from its proximal end. The stop defines a maximum transverse cross-section of the implement extending orthogonally to the implement's longitudinal axis and is configured to contact a surgical guide to limit advancement of the implement during use.

A method includes obtaining first intraoral data on the basis of imaging or scanning an oral cavity, obtaining a guide wearing simulation model for simulating a state in which a guide template model obtained on the basis of the first intraoral data is applied to the intraoral data, obtaining second intraoral data on the basis of imaging or scanning performed while a guide template corresponding to the guide template model is worn on the oral cavity, obtaining a fiducial marker wearing scan model indicating a state in which the guide template is worn on the oral cavity on the basis of the second intraoral data, and providing expected error information regarding a position of an implant model using a first fiducial marker model in which a fiducial marker is coupled to the guide wearing simulation model and a second fiducial marker model corresponding to the fiducial marker wearing scan model.

A dental drill guiding system includes a drill guide including a hollow tube having an exterior surface and a guide sleeve including an internal surface defining a through bore configured to receive the hollow tube of the drill guide. The exterior surface of the hollow tube and guide sleeve's internal surface have complementary anti-rotation sections. The drill guide's hollow tube further includes at least one radially extending protrusion limited in the axial extent and formed by an increase in radius of the hollow tube in the apical direction and dimensioned for accommodation in at least one undercut of the guide sleeve, such that when at least one protrusion of the hollow tube is housed in at least one undercut of the guide sleeve the hollow tube is axially retained within the guide sleeve such that removal of the drill guide from the guide sleeve in the coronal direction is prevented.

The present invention relates to an implant drill for producing bores in the jaw bone for dental implants, comprising a drill blade element with a blade portion and a connecting portion, which are arranged in the axial direction at opposite ends of the drill blade element; and a holding apparatus with a holding portion and an actuating portion, which are arranged in the axial direction at opposite ends of the holding apparatus, and wherein the holding portion has a slot-shaped receptacle that is mirror-symmetrical relative to the rotation axis, with two mutually parallel receptacle surfaces, wherein the connecting portion of the drill blade element is introducible in the axial direction into the receptacle of the holding portion of the holding apparatus, in order to connect the drill blade element non-rotatably to the holding apparatus.

Ablation probe tips (108, 148, 320, 360) and physical and virtual stents (110) for use in tooth bud ablation procedures that result in tooth agenesis as well as tooth bud ablation methods are described herein.

Disclosed herein is method for designing a dental prosthesis and a positioning guide for placing the dental prosthesis on implants in the jaw while maintain proper occlusion. In particular the method relates to a method for designing the dental prosthesis and the positioning guide prior to implant placement. Accordingly, the disclosure relates to a method and a kit of components suited for one-day implant surgery thereby reducing the time the patient spend in the dentist chair.
