Abstract
A guide for guided surgery on zygomatic bone implants for dental prostheses includes a half-bushing and a complementary half-bushing which are connected by a pair of bars. The half-bushings and the bars define a common longitudinal median axis between them; the half-bushings have a U-shaped or semicircular cross-section with mutually opposite concavities directed toward the median axis; the half-bushings and the bars form a seat in which it is possible to insert a work member, such as a burr and a subsequent implant, which can move only along the median axis and rotates about an axis of rotation that coincides with the median axis.
Claims8
A device for guided surgery on zygomatic bone implants for dental prostheses, the device comprising:
- at least one guide comprising a first half-bushing and a second half-bushing which are complementary and connected by a pair of bars;
- wherein:
- the first and second half-bushings and the bars define a common longitudinal median axis between them;
- the first half-bushing is spaced apart from the second half-bushing in a direction along the median axis with the pair of bars therebetween such that the first and second half-bushings do not overlap each other when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the median axis;
- the first and second half-bushings have a U-shaped or semicircular cross-section with mutually opposite concavities directed toward the median axis;
- and
- the first and second half-bushings and the bars are arranged such that an implement used during the guided surgery, when received by the first and second half-bushings, is movable only along the median axis and is rotatable about an axis of rotation that coincides with the median axis.
