Abstract
A guided implant drill system includes a guided implant drill bit with a cutting cylinder having counterclockwise helical cutting blades and flutes and a noncutting guide portion extending from the cutting cylinder, the guide portion having a diameter corresponding to a selected pilot drill bit. The guided implant drill bit may be constant diameter or tapered diameter. The system may include a set of guided implant drill bits having a range of cutting cylinder diameters and lengths. A method of use for a guided implant drill system is also provided.
Claims7
A guided implant drill system including one or more guided implant drill bits, each guided implant drill bit having a central axis, the guided implant drill bit further comprising a shank portion, a cutting cylinder portion and a guide portion, each aligned along the central axis:
- the shank portion adapted to couple to a dental drill driver, the shank extending from a shank first end to a shank second end;
- the cutting cylinder portion extending from a cutting cylinder portion first end rigidly connected to the shank portion second end to a cutting cylinder portion second end along the central axis, the cutting cylinder portion including a plurality of counterclockwise helical blades and corresponding counterclockwise helical flutes defining a plurality of cutting edges, the cutting edges defining the full diameter of the cutting cylinder portion and selected to correspond to a selected dental implant anchor, the distance from the cutting cylinder first end to the cutting cylinder second end defining the cutting cylinder length;
- the guide portion extending from the cutting cylinder portion second end to a terminal end and including a constant diameter along its axial length and defining a guide portion depth, the guide portion diameter corresponding to a selected pilot drill bit cutting diameter, the guide portion including a plurality of noncutting counterclockwise helical blades and corresponding counterclockwise helical flutes, the plurality of guide portion noncutting helical blades converging at the guide portion terminal end defining a noncutting surface, each of the plurality of guide portion helical flutes in fluid communication with at least one of the plurality of helical cutting cylinder flutes.
