A drill guide assembly used to guide a drill into the jawbone of a patient during dental surgery includes at least one through going guide bore for guiding the drill, at least one attachment for securing a part of the drill guide assembly to the jaw of the patient during surgery, wherein the drill guide assembly includes a first part including the at least one first through going guide bore, the at least one first attachment and at least a first reference area for referring the first part to a first anatomical feature of the patient, a second part including a second reference area for referring the second part to a second anatomical feature of the patient, and a guiding structure for guiding the first part and the second into a desired configuration.

A navigation-guided surgery fixation (NGSF) system. The NGSF system may include a fixation member for fixating an intraoral surgical guide. The fixation member may include a shank portion and a shaft portion, the shaft portion extending out from an end portion of the shank portion, and wherein the shank portion has a diameter greater than that of the shaft portion; and a sleeve member, wherein the sleeve member may include a through-hole substantially the same size of the shank portion and configured to receive the shank portion therein.

A drilling jig for drilling a drill hole into a jaw of a patient for a medical tooth implant. The drilling jig includes a prosthesis adapted to at least one of teeth and the jaw of the patient and a drilling model. The prosthesis has a bipartite design and includes an individualized part adapted to the teeth, and a standardized plate part with at least two reference markers suitable to provide reference points in digital images of the prosthesis and a first coupling part which couples the drilling model to the prosthesis. The drilling model is a standardized part which includes a drill channel adapted to the medical tooth implant, and a second coupling part adaptable to the prosthesis so that the prosthesis and the drilling model are connectable with each other through the first and second coupling parts.

A first guide member includes a horizontal body portion and a pair of upright portions. The horizontal body portion has an arcuate configuration and includes a first horizontal surface, a front surface, a rear surface, and a second horizontal surface. The first horizontal surface is flat. The first upright body portion includes a first inwardly extending portion. A first engagement surface of the first inwardly extending portion is configured to rest on a ridge of the alveolar arch of the patient. The second upright body portion includes a second inwardly extending portion. A second engagement surface of the second inwardly extending portion is configured to rest on a ridge of the alveolar arch of the patient. The first guide member lacks a component configured to extend along a lingual or palatal side of the alveolar arch of the patient.

Exemplary cutting and alignment guide assemblies for use in microsurgical, plastic surgical, otolaryngological, maxillofacial, orthopedic, dental, or other surgical procedures include a first section configured to engage a first bone graft section, a second section configured to engage a second bone graft section, a first fixation mechanism configured to couple the first section with the first bone graft section, and a second fixation mechanism configured to couple the second section with the second bone graft section. The first section and the second section can be coupled via a hinge mechanism. Neo-mandible assemblies for implantation at a native mandibular defect of a patient can include a cutting and alignment guide coupled with one or more bone graft sections. In some cases, bone graft sections include bone segments from a fibula of the patient.

A positioning system comprising a first working element having a first tubular shaft, a second working element having a second tubular shaft, an arcuate element having a holding element and an arcuate rail, wherein the arcuate rail is disposed on the holding element and the holding element is adapted to be fixed on the receiving section by means of a fastening element, and a guiding element having a holding section and a guiding section, wherein the holding section is guided on the rail and the guiding section receives the second shaft, the holding section having a locking element securing the guiding element to the rail, wherein the locking element in a locking position blocks displacement of the holding section in a transverse direction and in a release position allows displacement of the holding section in the transverse direction.

Described are fibula malleolus caps and surgery devices with fibula malleolus caps. The fibula malleolus caps may be patient-specific fibula malleolus caps. The devices with patient-specific fibula malleolus caps overcome the sliding and rotational errors during fibula flap harvesting. A comparative clinical study demonstrates that the fibula malleolus cap enhances the accuracy of fibula flap harvesting, leading to accurate location and angulation of simultaneous dental implants.

The present disclosure relates to a guide for mandibular resection surgery, including, a guide plate having, at its lower side, a boundary surface that guides a resection pathway of a resection saw during a mandibular resection surgery; and a fixing portion that is formed to extend from the guide plate to be combined with a mandible or tooth, thereby fixing a position of the guide plate, wherein the guide plate is foldable.

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.

A bone osteotomy guide or bone plate fixation implant whose anterior surface has a plurality of projecting members that are adapted to compress but not cut into the periosteum when positioned and affixed to the bone. Preferably, the projecting members are present as pointed or tapered structures, such as cones or pyramids, wherein the tips of the projecting members are blunt, truncated or rounded. The heights, widths, shapes, numbers and densities of projecting members on a given guide or fixation implant may vary. Because the projecting members compress the periosteum, the tips of the projecting members define a three-dimensional virtual surface that better conforms to the actual surface topography of the bone.
