Abstract

A surgical template positioning device, which comprises a template, a prosthetic tooth and a dental mold. The template has a first surface and a second surface, the first surface is formed with at least three spherical recesses and a guiding hole, relative positions of the spherical recesses define a triangle, and the guiding hole passes through the template. The prosthetic tooth has at least three spherical portions and one implanted hole, the spherical portions are combined with the spherical recesses of the first surface, and the guiding hole is corresponding to the implanted hole. The dental mold fixes the prosthetic tooth to a soft tissue between adjacent teeth. The present invention not only can save the manufacturing time and cost of the surgical template positioning device, but also is convenient to operate and exactly position, so as to increase the success rate of implanting surgery.

Claims

1. A surgical template positioning device, comprising:

a template having a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface is formed with at least three spherical recesses and a guiding hole, relative positions of the spherical recesses define a triangle, and the guiding hole passes through the template;

a prosthetic tooth having at least three spherical portions and one implanted hole, wherein the spherical portions are combined with the spherical recesses of the first surface, and the guiding hole is corresponding to the implanted hole; and

a dental mold fixing the prosthetic tooth to a soft tissue between adjacent teeth.

2. The surgical template positioning device according to claim 1, wherein the shape of the spherical recesses is complementary to the shape of the spherical portions.

3. The surgical template positioning device according to claim 1, wherein the depth of the spherical portions is greater than a scanning span of a tooth computed tomography (CT) machine.

4. The surgical template positioning device according to claim 1, wherein the guiding hole is vertical or tilted to the first surface of the template, and the guiding hole is vertical to the second surface of the template.

5. The surgical template positioning device according to claim 1, wherein the diameter of the guiding hole is greater than or equal to an outer diameter of a drill sleeve, and the diameter of the implanted hole is greater than or equal to the diameter of the guiding hole.

6. A surgical template positioning device, comprising:

a template having a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface has at least three spherical recesses and a guiding hole, relative positions of these spherical recesses define a triangle and the guiding hole passes through the template;

a prosthetic tooth having at least three cylindrical portions and an implanted hole, wherein each of top ends of the cylindrical portions has a spherical portion, the spherical portion is correspondingly combined with the spherical recess of the first surface, and the guiding hole is corresponding to the implanted hole; and

a dental mold fixing the prosthetic tooth to a soft tissue between adjacent teeth.

7. The surgical template positioning device according to claim 6, wherein the shape of the spherical recesses is complementary to the shape of the spherical portions.

8. The surgical template positioning device according to claim 6, wherein the depth of the spherical portion is greater than a scanning span of a tooth computed tomography (CT) machine.

9. The surgical template positioning device according to claim 6, wherein the guiding hole is vertical or tilted to the first surface of the template, and the guiding hole is vertical to the second surface of the template.

10. The surgical template positioning device according to claim 6, wherein the diameter of the guiding hole is greater than or equal to an outer diameter of a drill sleeve, and the diameter of the implanted hole is greater than or equal to the diameter of the guiding hole.
