Dental device for implanting prosthetic dentures
The patent US12042345B2 describes a dental device that integrates a surgical template with a false teeth set, designed for use in dental procedures involving the maxillary or mandibular jaw. The surgical template is a singular structure featuring a first surface with multiple drill holes for osteotomies, which are cylindrical and designed to limit the drilling depth. This first surface also allows for the attachment of the false teeth set, while the second surface of the template mimics the appearance of gum tissue. The device is specifically configured to fit over an edentulous patient's gum tissue, ensuring a secure and functional fit.
Additionally, the device includes features that enhance its usability, such as interlocking male and female portions between the surgical template and the false teeth set. The template may also contain bore holes for guiding bone reduction, with drill holes oriented perpendicularly to the jaw bone. The design incorporates pin holes for stability, allowing pins to pass through these holes for added support. Overall, the dental device aims to streamline the process of fitting dentures while ensuring precision in surgical procedures related to dental implants.
