Abstract
A bone foundation guide system has a bone foundation guide including a body that is contoured to reversibly affix to a bone segment of a dental implant surgical site. The body is further contoured to guide the cutting of a portion of the bone segment from a dental implant surgical site and alternatively support a dental implant surgical guide. The body is further contoured to support a bone foundation guide prosthesis as an alternative to the dental implant surgical guide. The bone foundation guide prosthesis combines with the body to accommodate the bone segment portion as placed through the body prior to the bone segment portion being removed from the dental implant site through the use of the body.
Claims20
A kit, comprising:
- (a) a first body comprising a bone foundation guide configured to be secured relative to an alveolar ridge of a patient and extend along a first plane while secured relative to the alveolar ridge of the patient, the first plane being parallel to an occlusal plane of the alveolar ridge of the patient;
- (b) a second body configured to removably couple with the first body and extend along a second plane while coupled with the first body, the second plane being parallel to the occlusal plane of the alveolar ridge of the patient, the second body comprising:
- (i) an arched portion configured to complement the alveolar ridge of the patient, and
- (ii) a bone foundation guide engagement feature configured to engage the bone foundation guide, the bone foundation guide engagement feature being configured to position the arched portion such that the arched portion is spaced away relative to the first body along a dimension that is perpendicular to the occlusal plane of the alveolar ridge of the patient and such that the bone foundation guide engagement feature is configured to define a space extending along the dimension, over the first plane, and between the first body and the second body, the space being further positioned along the dimension between the second body and the alveolar ridge of the patient when the second body is mounted to the first body and the bone foundation guide is secured to the alveolar ridge of the patient, and
- the first body and the second body together being configured to enable visualization of the alveolar ridge of the patient in the space extending along the dimension, over the first plane, and between the second body and the alveolar ridge of the patient while the second body is mounted to the first body and the first body is secured to the alveolar ridge of the patient;
- and
- (c) a third body comprising a dental implant surgical guide, the dental implant surgical guide having a body with a plurality of apertures to locate a plurality of implants in the alveolar ridge of the patient, the third body being configured to removably couple with the first body.

A kit, comprising:
- (a) a first body comprising a bone foundation guide configured to be secured relative to an alveolar ridge of a patient and extend along a first plane, the first plane being parallel to an occlusal plane of the alveolar ridge of the patient;
- (b) a second body configured to removably couple with the first body, the second body further being configured to complement the alveolar ridge of the patient, the second body being configured to cooperate with the first body to position part of the second body along a second plane, the second plane being parallel to the occlusal plane of the alveolar ridge of the patient, the second plane being occlusally spaced away from the first plane along an occlusal dimension, such that the second body defines a space between the first body and the second body, the space being further between the part of the second body and the alveolar ridge of the patient along the occlusal dimension when the second body is mounted to the first body and the bone foundation guide is secured to the alveolar ridge of the patient, the first body and the second body together being configured to enable visualization of the alveolar ridge of the patient in the space between the second body and the alveolar ridge of the patient while the second body is mounted to the first body and the first body is secured to the alveolar ridge of the patient;
- and
- (c) a third body comprising a dental implant surgical guide, the dental implant surgical guide having a body with a plurality of apertures to locate a plurality of implants in the alveolar ridge of the patient, the third body being configured to removably couple with the first body.
