METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PLACING DENTAL IMPLANTS
First Claim
1. A device for placing dental implants, the device comprising:
- a) a patient-specific template having bore tubes in predetermined positions and with predetermined inclinations, which are provided with guiding cylinders with standard dimensions, determined in advance in function of the type of said implants, and drilling tubes that are insertable into the guiding cylinders for drilling holes for placement of the dental implants, andb) fixture mounts characterized in that said fixture mounts have a smooth section with an outer diameter determined in advance in function of the type of said implants and corresponding to the inner diameter of the guiding cylinders.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method and device for placing implants using a surgical template which is made from tomographic cuts in the patient'"'"'s jawbone. Step drills and calibrating drills, having a single standard diameter for each type of implant, are guided through drill bushings which are inserted into bores in the template in order to produce any drilling sequence corresponding to an implant plan. The penetration depth of the drills is controlled by the height of the bores or by the drill rings. The method limits the required number of drills and implant supports to the longest models only. The inventive method and device are particularly suitable for computer-assisted implantology systems.
