UNIVERSAL KEYLESS GUIDED SURGERY SYSTEM
A depth stop for a drilling tool to form a hole of predetermined depth. The depth stop includes an interface portion that couples directly to the shank of the osteotome via interlocking spur and groove features. The interface has a cap flange and a tapered skirt. The underside of the cap flange establishes a reference surface for a tubular key that slides onto the tapered skirt and is held there by friction. The skirt is formed with a relief directly under the cap flange to facilitate haptic confirmation of proper connection. Elongated irrigation windows in the key expose a domed transition on the osteotome, thereby facilitating irrigation. The depth stop can be used, optionally, with an alignment jig designed with a precision guide bushing. The guide bushing is semi-cylindrical and terminates with an internal abutment step against which the lower end of the key engages at full depth.
Device for periapical radiography
The present disclosure relates to a device for periapical radiography that enhances accuracy in dental implantology. It includes a connection element that secures a radiographic plate holder relative to an anchoring element, such as a direction indicator, depth gauge, or drill. The device ensures parallel alignment with the radiographic plate and perpendicularity to the X-ray beam, minimizing distortion. This allows precise intraoperative periapical radiography, reducing reliance on CBCT or panoramic imaging. Configurations include an L-shaped bar, a tube or sleeve, and a fixation base, all designed for stable alignment. Compatible with standard implant systems, the device offers a cost-effective, accurate, and repeatable method for real-time implant verification. Additionally, it enhances procedural efficiency, improves patient safety, and reduces radiation exposure.
DENTAL SURGICAL GUIDE FIXATION DEVICE
The invention refers to a dental guide fixator for guided surgical procedures fixed in an internal region of at least one implant comprising: a fixed pin being inserted using a key or manually with an apical region comprising a fixation thread region comprising an adjustment thread and a regulating element comprising an internal thread configured to be threaded to the adjustment thread and having a guide fixation region; the regulating element is threaded onto the fixed pin being passed through a hole in a surgical guide and fixed to the internal thread of a dental implant through the fixation thread in the apical region, whereby the guide fixation region comes into contact with the guide and said regulating element is threaded onto the fixed pin in order to compress the guide between the guide fixation region and the surface of the patient's mouth.
PREPARATION GUIDE FOR A DENTAL PREPARATION
The invention relates to a method for generating a three-dimensional digital guide model of a physical preparation guide for a dental preparation of a patient's jaw. A three-dimensional digital jaw model and a definition of tooth positions is received. The tooth positions comprise one or more target tooth positions for one or more artificial teeth. The three-dimensional digital jaw model is overlaid with a three-dimensional digital corrugated surface. The overlaying comprises adjusting a waveform of the corrugation with local minima and maxima, such that the local minima are arranged at the positions of the teeth, while the local maxima are arranged between the positions of the teeth. The three-dimensional digital guide model is generated using the three-dimensional digital corrugated surface with the adjusted waveform.
INTERACTIVE VISUALIZATION OF DENTAL IMPLANT POSITION PLANNING
There is provided an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) for planning positioning of a dental implant in a subject, comprising: presenting, within the GUI, sequential frames of an oral cavity of a subject captured by at least one image sensor during a dental session of the subject, computing a real-world location and/or angle of a real-world tool manipulated by a user, and dynamically updating, within the GUI, an overlay of a virtual angle and/or virtual location of a virtual vector overlaid on the sequential frames corresponding to the real-world location and/or angle of the real-world tool, wherein the virtual vector denotes a location and angle for drilling by a bur of a drill for implanting the dental implant.
GUIDED INJECTION FOR LOCAL ANESTHESIA
There is provided a method comprising: detecting and/or segmenting a dental-related anatomical structure of a subject from a dental 3D imaging model, wherein the dental-related anatomical structure includes a target for injection of anesthesia by a dental syringe, accessing sequential frames of an oral cavity of a subject captured by an image sensor during a dental session of the subject, presenting within a GUI, at least one fused frame depicting a merger of the sequential frames and the segmentation of the dental-related anatomical structure of the subject registered to the sequential frames, wherein the dental-related anatomical structure is depicted on the sequential frames at a location indicating the target for injection, and dynamically updating the location of the dental-related anatomical structure depicted on the sequential frames according to dynamic adaptation of a pose of the image sensor.
Guided injection for local anesthesia
There is provided a method comprising: detecting and/or segmenting a dental-related anatomical structure of a subject from a dental 3D imaging model, wherein the dental-related anatomical structure includes a target for injection of anesthesia by a dental syringe, accessing sequential frames of an oral cavity of a subject captured by an image sensor during a dental session of the subject, presenting within a GUI, at least one fused frame depicting a merger of the sequential frames and the segmentation of the dental-related anatomical structure of the subject registered to the sequential frames, wherein the dental-related anatomical structure is depicted on the sequential frames at a location indicating the target for injection, and dynamically updating the location of the dental-related anatomical structure depicted on the sequential frames according to dynamic adaptation of a pose of the image sensor.
Fixation base and guides for dental prosthesis installation
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.
Robotic device for dental surgery
A robotic system includes a base, a grounding arm, a working arm, and one or more sensors. The grounding arm extends from the base and is configured to be coupled to a fixed structure within the mouth of the patient for establishing an origin for the robotic system. The working arm extends from the base and is configured to be coupled with one or more tools for use during an installation of a dental implant in the mouth. The one or more sensors are for monitoring positions of the grounding arm and/or the working arm and to generate positional data that is used to create a post-operative virtual three-dimensional model of at least a portion of the mouth of the patient.
Splint device for guided surgical robot
A splint device (100) for robotically-guided surgery includes elongate first and second splint portions (200, 400) each having opposed longitudinal ends and an interface edge extending between the ends, wherein the respective interface edges (250, 450) are arranged as a complement to each other. First and second alignment elements (800A, 800B) engaged with the first and second splint portions are arranged to interact with each other such that a substantially consistent gap is defined between the first and second interface edges, from the first ends to the second ends of the first and second splint portions. A threaded member (900) is engaged between the first and second splint portions and arranged to advance the first and second interface edges toward each other in response to advancement of the threaded member. A tracking portion (1000) having a kinematic mount (1100) engaged therewith is engaged with the first or second splint portion and extends outwardly therefrom. An associated method is also provided.
