A method including fixing a dental drill template with a fixation pin including a rod and a head attached to the rod. The dental drill template can be fixed by inserting the rod into the drill template or a sleeve provided in the drill template such that a bearing surface of the head bears at least partially on the drill template. The rod has a shape of an essentially circular cylinder and extends from the bearing surface of the head at an essentially right angle. A diameter of the head at the bearing surface is larger than the diameter of the rod.

Fixation pin

A fixation pin for fixing a dental drill template. The fixation pin has a head having a bearing surface that is intended to bear at least partially on the drill template, or a sleeve provided in the drill template. The fixation pin has a rod having a shape of an essentially circular cylinder and extending from the bearing surface at an essentially right angle. The rod is intended to be inserted into the drill template or the sleeve provided in the drill template.

The present invention relates to a drill guide () for use in the dental field. It comprises a grip () and at least two guide sleeves () arranged on the grip, the grip () having a top face () and an underside () and the underside () of the grip being intended to bear at least partially on a drill jig. The at least two guide sleeves () protrude from the underside () of the grip, and at least one limit stop (), which is an axial continuation of one of the at least two guide sleeves (), protrudes from the top face () of the grip.

Connecting screw () for a dental implant () can be screwed securely by means of a commercially available rotary tool (), even if the central longitudinal axis C of the connecting screw () and the longitudinal axis D of the rotary tool () are arranged at an acute angle to one another. For this purpose, the connecting screw () has a shaft portion () having an outer thread () for connection to the dental implant (), and a head portion () having a blind-bore-shaped recess (), which is open toward the upper screw end () and in which an engagement means () for the rotary tool () is formed integrally.

Connecting screw for a dental implant

An impacting device for inserting, positioning and/or removing an implant and/or performing other impacting applications. The impacting device may have a head having at least one recess. The recess may have a insertion channel and a locking chamber. In one embodiment, the insertion channel and the locking chamber may be connected by an axial channel. The recess may pass through a lateral surface of the head so that the base surface may remain cohesive or unobstructed. A guide means, such as a guide rod, may be positioned though the recess so that the head may be moveable on the guide means and not disengage the guide means. A shaft having a handle may be attached to the head to assist a surgeon in moving the head on the guide means.

Impacting device and method

Impression cap for a dental implant, with a recess () extending in the longitudinal direction between two end areas () of the impression cap. The recess is configured in such a way that it can receive a fastening element, which is intended to connect the impression cap to the dental implant via a first of the two end areas (). The impression cap, at its second end area () remote from the first end area, has a connection element that is configured in such a way as to produce a releasable snap-fit connection between the impression cap and the dental implant.

An impacting device including a head having a longitudinal axis, a lateral surface and a base surface. The impacting device also includes a recess positioned in the head having a first channel and a second channel, the first and second channels being operably connected to each other. The first and second channels are at an angle with respect to each other when viewed in a plane parallel to the longitudinal axis.

Set of dental drills having two or more dental drills ('), each of dental drills (&#x2032;) having a cutting portion (&#x2032;) that has an end-face drilling end (&#x2032;) and a shank portion (&#x2032;) that has a receiving region (&#x2032;) intended to be received in a drill holding device. The shank portions (&#x2032;) of the dental drills each have a substantially circular-cylindrical guide region (&#x2032;) for guiding the dental drills, the guide regions (&#x2032;) of the two or more dental drills being of the same diameter.

Set of dental drills

Drill guide () for use in the dental field, comprising a grip (), a bearing surface intended to bear at least partially on a template () or a drill sleeve (), and at least one guide sleeve () having a longitudinal slit (). The grip () has a top face and an underside. The at least one guide sleeve () is essentially hollow and cylindrical, has an upper end and a lower end, and protrudes from the underside of the grip ().

Drill guide

Drill sleeve () for a dental drill () having a hollow and cylindrical shape and a longitudinal axis A, a circular inner surface () for guiding the dental drill (), and an outer surface () intended to be inserted into a template (). The outer surface () of the drill sleeve () has at least one longitudinal flattened or concave area (), the circular inner surface () is essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis A, and the drill sleeve () is thin-walled.
