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.

Disclosed are a surgical guide plate and a preparation method therefor. The preparation method comprises the following steps: a) bonding a radiation-blocking material onto an oral mucosa, and putting on an occlusal rim; b) carrying out CBCT photographing to acquire CBCT data carrying information of the radiation-blocking material; c) acquiring STL data of an oral cavity surface; d) matching the CBCT data with the STL data; e) loading occlusal rim data; f) carrying out intelligent tooth arrangement; and g) designing an implant, and generating a surgical guide plate. By means of the preparation method, the level of comfort of a patient can be increased, preparatory processes are reduced, a radiation guide plate does not need to be made, the number of return visits is reduced, the clinical medical cost is reduced, the precision of a surgical guide plate is increased, the software design time is reduced, and the treatment experience is improved.

The invention relates to a projector construction (86) arranged both structurally and operatively integrated into a dental operating light (8) so as to be a part of the dental operating light (8) and wherein the dental operating light (8) illuminates a first area on a surface whereas the projector construction (86) is configured to project graphics, pictures and/or video in essentially the same direction as the operating light (8) on the surface, on a second area.

A connection adaptor device for dental tools that provides an ergonomic operation of dental tools. The connection adaptor device includes a connector body with a first end and a second end. A tool receiver port is located at the first end. The tool receiver port is configured to be releasably attachable to dental tools. A hose receiver port is located at the second end. The hose receiver port is configured to be releasably attachable to a suction hose. An airflow passageway connects the tool receiver port to the hose receiver port. The airflow passageway having a bend at acute angle.

A method for detecting alignment of a drill sleeve in a drilling template relative to the jaw of a person, includes: creating an impression element including a negative impression of the jaw structure; creating an X-ray template from the impression element by disposing spaced X-ray visible reference bodies in the impression element; carrying out a first three-dimensional radiological detection, in which the jaw, together with the X-ray template fastened to the jaw, is detected by DVT or CT; creating a drilling template from the X-ray template by fastening a drilling sleeve in/on the X-ray template; inserting a reference object, including spaced X-ray visible reference bodies, into the drill sleeve; and carrying out a second three-dimensional radiological detection, in which only the drilling template, which is outside the jaw, including the reference bodies thereof, and the reference object inserted therein, including the reference bodies thereof, are detected.

An apparatus assisting in dental procedure, comprising: a body adapted to be received with an oral cavity; an anchoring means for securing the body within the oral cavity such that it at least partially surrounds one or more teeth; a dental device located within the body and adapted to move in a plurality of planes relative to the one or more teeth; and a controller for controlling the dental device to move into a suitable position relative to the one or more teeth and once located in position carry out work on or about the one or more teeth.

A direction checking pin and a guide tap drill kit for insertion of a fixture for an implant includes an endosseous fixing guide, a direction checking pin body and a guide tap drill. The endosseous fixing guide and the direction checking pin body are combined and then inserted into an already-formed insertion hole and only the direction checking pin body is removed after checking a direction of the insertion hole, and the guide tap drill is inserted to the endosseous fixing guide remaining in the insertion hole and then rotated so as to enter into the insertion hole such that a screw thread is formed in accordance with the direction of the insertion hole at an inner wall of the insertion hole by the tap drill.

Dental instrument assemblies (e.g., mouth pieces, bite blocks, vacuum dental mirrors, illuminated dental mirrors, illuminated dental wedges, trans-illumination dental instrument, illuminated dental bite blocks, etc.) are provided. The dental instrument assemblies may be adapted to be periodically sterilized. The dental instrument assemblies may include a magnetically energetic fiber optic coupler. The magnetically energetic fiber optic coupler may be configured to allow dental instrument adapter to rotate with respect to an associated fiber optic cable that is removably connected to the magnetically energetic fiber optic coupler. The dental instrument assemblies may include a fiber optic material that is encapsulated.

A method including fixing a dental drill template with a fixation pin including a rod and a head attached to the rod. The dental drill template can be fixed by inserting the rod into the drill template or a sleeve provided in the drill template such that a bearing surface of the head bears at least partially on the drill template. The rod has a shape of an essentially circular cylinder and extends from the bearing surface of the head at an essentially right angle. A diameter of the head at the bearing surface is larger than the diameter of the rod.

A system including a sensored ablation probe tip and a virtual stent, said sensored ablation probe tip for use in a tooth bud ablation procedure that results in tooth agenesis, said sensored ablation probe tip for use with an ablation probe unit. A system including a sensored ablation probe tip and a stent, said sensored ablation probe tip for use in a tooth bud ablation procedure that results in tooth agenesis, said sensored ablation probe tip for use with an ablation probe unit.
