Guided dental implantation system and associated device and method

摘要

A dental implantation system is provided, comprising an implantation device adapted to prepare a site within a mouth of a patient for receiving a dental implant. A guidance device is operably engaged with the implantation device and is adapted to operably engage the mouth of the patient. The engagement between the guidance device and the mouth of the patient provides a fiducial marker for guiding the implantation device to prepare the site for receiving the dental implant. An associated method of implanting a dental implant, and associated devices, are also provided.

1. A dental implantation system, comprising:
an implantation device adapted to prepare a site within a mouth of a patient for receiving a dental implant; and a guidance device physically engaged with the implantation device, the guidance device being adapted to securely and physically interact with the mouth of the patient, the secure and physical interaction between the guidance device and the mouth of the patient forming a fiducial marker, the implantation device thereby being configured to be in physical communication with the fiducial marker, and the guidance device being further configured to physically regulate movement of the implantation device with respect to the fiducial marker, in accordance with a virtual implantation plan and in correspondence with physical manipulation of the implantation device by a user, to prepare the site for receiving the dental implant, at least one of the guidance device and the implantation device being configured to provide tactile feedback to the user if the physical manipulation of the implantation device by the user deviates from the virtual implantation plan.
