Abstract
A stable affixation system for dental implantation includes a fixation tray having, for rapid placement, a housing defining a chamber whose inner surface is configured to house a flowable or malleable material (configured to harden) and be placed over one or more teeth during guided dental implantation surgery. A mechanism for urging the material against the teeth may comprise side walls having an inwardly directed extra flexible arm extension or an inwardly directed step. A lock mechanism may comprise a wedge positioned over the fixation tray to reduce or eliminate freedom of movement of the tray. For rapid removal, the system may include mechanisms (for example an element rotating inside the tray) for applying force on the tray and material and for ensuring that the material adheres more strongly to the tray than to the teeth. The system is sturdy enough to withstand forces including from various angles and leverage.
