Abstract
A device for planning and further placing a dental implant comprises a rigid base, a column that projects from the base with a regulating mechanism for the height and support of a bi-directional head. The head has two hubs, which have binding mechanisms for certain positions and are furnished with a mechanism for indicating the angle position. One of the hubs is furnished with a drill and also a device for fixing guides. Also described and claimed are a method for planning correct placing of a dental implant, a pre-tomographic guide obtained with the method, and a surgical template obtained using the method.

A device for planning and further placing a dental implant, the device comprising a rigid base with a binding mechanism and a mechanism for controlling the position of a mouth model for a patient, a column projecting from said base with a regulating mechanism for the height and support of a bi-directional head comprising two hubs, the hubs being rotatably disposed in planes that are orthogonal relative to each other, with binding mechanisms for fixing certain positions, being furnished with a device for indicating the angle position of each hub relative to a specific position, one of the hubs being furnished with a drill and also a device for fixing one or more guides.
A method for planning correct placing of one or more dental implants, comprising the steps of:
- a) preparing a pre-tomographic guide by preparing an impression of the patient's mouth made of any suitable material, preparing with said impression a model of the patient's mouth, preparing on said mouth model a scale model for diagnosis, preparing a duplicate of said scale model, placing the scale model on said mouth model and drilling holes at the position of each dental piece, logging the incidence point and the incidence angles, both mesio-distal and mouth-palantine or lingual and the mouth model position, introducing a radio opaque substance in each hole;
- b) taking a computer tomography of the patient's mouth with the pre-tomographic guide placed therein, thus obtaining a tomography with marking corresponding to the radio opaque substance of the pre-tomographic guide;
- c) preparing surgery planning for observing sectional views of the patient's upper or lower jaw bone rim and comparing the incidence points and the incidence angles of each of said marking with respect to the incidence points and incidence angles at the desired position of each implant to be placed in the patient's mouth, in order to confirm or change these parameters and further logging their final values, and finally
- d) preparing a surgical template for carrying out in the patient's mouth the result of the surgical planning with said final logged parameter values by fixing one or more guides on the template, fixing with a guide in each position where an implant will be placed, with the final incidence point and incidence angle logged parameter values.
