Apparatus comprising drill guide bodies and a pair of positioning bars, each such drill guide body being a body so configured and constructed as to define an imaginary axis through the length thereof and forming a pilot guide bore for guiding a drill substantially along said axis and at least one lateral bore substantially perpendicular to said pilot guide bore substantially along chord of said drill guide body disposed on opposite sides of the pilot guide bore, and methods of forming stents and rigid guides for guiding the drilling of holes into a patient's boney structure are disclosed.

Surgical drill positioning guide

A kit for building a model for guiding the drilling of plural guide holes into the jaw bone of a dental patient for guiding the forming of plural adjacent cavities for the installation of plural adjacent implants and a method for guiding the drilling of such cavities are disclosed.

Dental implant and prosthesis positioning

An electro-surgical instrument and method is described for exposing gingival areas in preparation for a dental implant. The instrument includes an elongated handle, a leg extending perpendicular to the handle adjoined therewith, and a circular cutting loop. The loop is defined by a plane perpendicular to the leg and tangentially attached thereto along a circumference of the loop. The loop is formed of a unitary electrically conductive wire such as tungsten, and extends into the leg and at least partially into the handle. A high frequency current is passed through the wire into the loop to best activate the latter for cutting the gingival areas.

Electro-surgical instrument and method for use with dental implantations

A sterile kit for inserting an implant to which a dental prosthesis may be fastened, includes an implant (14) having a combined insertion tool/transfer pin (50) secured thereto by a screw (16), with a carrier (52) mating with the combined insertion tool/transfer pin to start the implant into a hole prepared therefor. The method of use includes taking an impression as soon as the implant is secured in the bone, thereafter removing the combined insertion tool/transfer pin, inserting a healing screw (38), and forming the model of the mouth and ultimate prosthesis and abutments in a laboratory while the several month healing process takes place.
