1. An RFID anti-loss system for a dental fixture, comprising:
- an RFID reader that transmits radio waves to a passive RFID tag attached to a dental fixture;
the passive RFID tag transmitting radio waves in response to the radio waves received by the RFID reader;
the RFID reader intermittently transmitting the radio waves such that when a response from the RFID tag is not received by the RFID reader, the RFID reader provides an alert.

11. A method for using an RFID anti-loss system for a dental fixture, comprising:
-
a transmitting step, wherein intermittent requests are transmitted from an RFID reader to a passive RFID tag affixed to a dental fixture; a receiving step, wherein a response to the intermittent requests is received at the RFID reader from the passive RFID tag; and an alert generating step, wherein an alert is generated when at least one of (i) the response is not received at the RFID reader from the passive RFID tag, and (ii) the response is received at the RFID reader from the passive RFID tag, and based on the response from the passive RFID tag, the distance between the RFID reader and passive RFID tag is calculated and determined to be beyond a predetermined distance. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
