Method and device for placing dental implants uses surgical template made from cuts in patient's jawbone and uses step drills guided through bushes inserted in template bores

摘要

The method for placing implants using a surgical template (11) made from tomographic cuts in the patient's jawbone (7) uses step drills (4) and calibrating drills. The drills are guided through drill bushings (18) which are inserted into bores (15) in the template. The penetration depth of the drills is controlled by the height of the bores or by the drill rings (21). The template bores serve as a guide for the precise placement of the implants due to adapted implant supports. Washers mounted on the implant supports limit compression while the implants are being placed.
