<p>A staple (Fig 1) which is compressively affixed to the mandibular jaw with lag screws, a drill guide apparatus (Fig 10) having a plane guide and drilling barrel for proper alignment of the staple and a method for proper implantation of the staple. The staple is provided with a plurality of parallel transosteal pins which are mounted on a mounting axis which extends in a direction parallel to the axis of compression. The plane guide has a curvilinear aperture to extend around the jaw bone for forming a planar mating surface on the bone with a grinding tool. The drilling barrel accepts a plurality of removable sleeves for guiding drill bits of different sizes. A cap nut is self-threaded on to a smooth portion of the transosteal pin. The smooth portion of the transosteal pin is provided to reduce irritation to the gingiva and facilitate adhesion of a bioceramic or biocompatable polymer material. Fig 21 shows a depth gauge and Fig 22a clamping rack for use in the invention. <IMAGE></p> |
