Abstract
A system and method is provided for performing internal maxillary sinus lift procedures where the system and method employs a set of sequentially deployed surgical drill bits to be used in conjunction with a dental implant surgical kit for performing internal maxillary sinus lift procedures in the dental implant surgical situations where the sub-antral bone height is not adequate to host an implant.
Claims2
A first group of drill bits for sequential use with a drilling device for lifting a sinus for dental implants comprising:
- a first drill bit further comprising:
- a first drill bit shank having a proximal end adapted for connecting to the drilling device;
- a first drill bit crown having a proximal end connected to a distal end of the first drill bit shank;
- a first drill bit head connected to a distal end of the first drill bit crown;
- and
- a first drill bit pointed tip connected to a distal end of the first drill bit head;
- a second drill bit further comprising:
- a second drill bit shank having a proximal end adapted for connecting to the drilling device;
- a second drill bit crown having a proximal end connected to a distal end of the second drill bit shank;
- a second drill bit head connected to a distal end of the second drill bit crown;
- and
- a second drill bit partially hemispherical protruding tip at a distal end of the second drill bit head;
- and
- a third drill bit further comprising:
- a third drill bit shank having a proximal end adapted for connecting to the drilling device;
- a third drill bit crown having a proximal end connected to a distal end of the third drill bit shank;
- a third drill bit head connected to a distal end of the third drill bit crown;
- an upper portion connected to a distal end of the third drill bit head;
- a third drill bit flat protruding tip at a distal end of the upper portion of the third drill bit,
- wherein the drilling device has a motor for rotating the first drill bit, the second drill bit, and third drill bit sequentially such that the first drill bit, the second drill bit, and the third drill bit drill are sequentially configured with the drilling device to drill an implant hole in a sub-antral bone segment of a patient;
- wherein said first head of said first drill bit has sharp teeth edges around a circumference of the head running in an oblique direction with respect to a length of the first head, said sharp teeth edges for drilling the implant hole in the sub-antral bone segment;
- said second head of said second drill bit has shallow obliquely serrated teeth around a circumference of the second head along a length of the second head, said shallow obliquely serrated teeth for entering the through the implant hole;
- said third head of said third drill bit has shallow obliquely serrated teeth around a circumference and long a length of the third head, said shallow obliquely serrated teeth for entering the through the implant hole;
- and
- said upper portion of said third drill bit further includes a circumference of beveled cutting teeth for further grinding and breaking remaining sub-antral bone shoulders;
- and
- wherein the second drill bit head and the third drill bit head are adapted to enter the implant hole while maintaining a diameter of the implant hole.
