Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for positioning a guide tube on a plate to be positioned over the patient's jaw or jaw, configuring a surgical guide, which allows the guide tube to be positioned in the exact position in order to make it possible to perform it. a perfect hole in the bone portion of the patient and subsequent implant placement exactly at the planned location.
- the present invention further relates to a tomographic reference support, notably for tomographic use and / or to serve as the basis for the attachment of one or more guide tube positioning devices, which allows for millimeter precision planning for determining the position for positioning one or more guide tubes on an acrylic or similar plate, setting up a surgical guide.
- the present invention relates to a guide tube positioning device, designed to ensure the correct positioning of one or more guide tubes in an acrylic or similar plate, configuring a surgical guide.
- a dental implant is commonly used to restore the appearance of the mouth of a patient who has permanently lost one or more teeth.
- the technique of performing a dental implant requires a series of procedural steps and steps until the implant is correctly and firmly in place.
- the teeth have several important actions, such as the aesthetic appearance they give people and the influence they have on certain speech phonemes. , who in their absence get their pronunciation impaired. Therefore, the presence of teeth in the mouth is very important.
- the dental implant procedure comprises the use of a synthetic tooth (technically called a prophetic crown) that should be positioned at the site of the missing original tooth in order to restore the chewing ability and other properties attributed to the tooth already described above.
- the prophetic crown is attached to an implant, which is in turn positioned within a hole in the bone portion of the maxilla (upper arch) or mandible (lower arch) of the patient's mouth.
- the implant should be correctly and firmly fixed to the bone such that the prosthetic crown is as stable as a natural tooth.
- the conventional implant installation procedure comprises drilling a hole in the patient's jaw or jaw, implant placement, and attachment of the prosthetic crown to the implant.
- a plurality of implant types are used, such as cylindrical or threaded implants.
- implants are usually made of titanium alloys (due to poor reactivity as well as the rapid and reliable association of the material with bone tissue) and their upper portion comprises means for association with the prosthetic crown, so that the latter correctly installed.
- the implant is performed in the superior alveolar bone (maxilla), there is no important nerve termination, but, on the other hand, just above are the maxillary sinus and the floor of the nasal fossa that cannot be punctured, otherwise the patient may have severe bleeding. . When such parts are drilled, it generally becomes necessary to drill again to position the implant in another hole.
- the professional uses clinical and imaging exams, such as tomography and radiography, which enable an effective view of the bone constitution of the patient's face.
- clinical and imaging exams such as tomography and radiography
- the images obtainable have distortions that prevent their unrestricted use, and the professional must compensate for these distortions to obtain an efficient result.
- the practitioner makes a cast (usually in plaster) of the patient's dental arch and then makes a plaque, usually acrylic or acetate, that is fixed fairly and need to mold.
- This plate can be made in a variety of ways, known to those skilled in the art, and ends up having a template function for making the hole. After making the plate, several studies are done to ultimately position the cutter or drill so that the hole is drilled correctly. However, at this stage, without the use of a system that provides the necessary data for planning, often the only variable to determine the positioning of the cutter or drill ends up being the experience of the dental professional.
- the freehand implant is hardly optimally positioned, requiring the prophetic crown to be constructed to compensate for misalignment caused by a poorly installed implant. In case of misalignments of about 1 millimeter or more, there is a possibility that the crown has an aesthetic or structural resistance compromise.
- the professional can get an idea of the position where to perform the bone drilling and, after the implantation of the implants, reposition the gingival tissue in place, then suturing it. It is evident that the great damage to the gingival tissue causes pain and swelling to the patient, who, in turn, is the victim of an often painful postoperative process, requiring a large coverage of analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antibiotic drugs.
- Computer-guided surgeries use sophisticated and complex electronic positioning and visualization equipment to obtain the correct positioning of the hole.
- Tomographic examinations of the patient's face are performed, enabling the obtention of a series of images about the bone shape and constitution in the place where the hole will be made.
- the ideal positioning for the hole is achieved using the specific software tool of each equipment.
- the informations About this positioning are inserted into the equipment and several sensors are positioned inside and outside the patient's mouth.
- the professional manipulates the cutter / drill facing a monitor, where he can observe his work.
- the practitioner can observe information about the placement of the hole he is making.
- Such positioning is achieved through the interaction of the tool with the various sensors installed inside and outside the patient.
- the equipment compares it with the ideal hole position information. If the positioning of the tool is deviating from the determined ideal positioning, the equipment informs the computer screen professional of this deviation by means of light and / or sound signals.
- Denx® is an example of a company, among others, that has developed systems as described above. In short, however, computer-guided implant surgery technology is costly and does not guarantee millimeter accuracy. Surgery using guides obtained by the prototyping process was also developed to ensure the correct placement of the implant fixation hole, with millimeter precision. As a rule, the provider performs a first CT scan on the face of the patient whose implant is to be performed. Following, a second tomography is made of a replica of the prophetic planning containing radiopaque markers. This second tomography is imperative due to some characteristics of this type of exam.
- the tomographic examination in the patient reveals only the bone portion, not allowing the gingival diameter to be obtained, thus requiring the second tomographic examination of the replica of the prosthetic planning containing radiopaque markers. Overlapping the two exams through radiopaque markers allows verification of gum thickness and bone dimensions, which will allow the correct implant positioning.
- the need for two tomographic examinations (on the patient's face and the replication of prosthetic planning containing radiopaque markers) makes the process more expensive.
- the practitioner can plan the implant correctly, that is, determine the optimal diameter and depth of the hole to be drilled, and determine its ideal position in the bone. This positioning is performed by software specific to each equipment.
- a plate of polymeric material is manufactured in a prototyping equipment (widely known for use in other areas of knowledge, such as engineering and medicine).
- This joke The shape obtained already contains the shape of the patient's mouth (teeth, gum, etc., which fits perfectly into it) and comprises a correctly positioned hole, ie a hollow tubular metal guide positioned in the hole to give firmness to the cutter / drill as it goes through it.
- the professional positions the plate over the patient's mouth, locking it in the teeth / gum and places a cutter / drill inside the guide. Since the guide is in the correct position, in theory the bone hole is made accurately. However, there are some problems associated with using the guide, which alone cannot guarantee the desired drilling accuracy.
- guided surgeries based on a cast model can be performed based on radiographic and / or tomographic images.
- the professional (i) molds the patient's dental arch, (ii) makes the plaster model, (iii) fixes artificial teeth in the region where the implants are to be installed (iv), produces a plaster model with artificial teeth, (v) produces a plate of radiolucent material on the plaster model, (vi) inserts radiopaque markers pertinent to each type of equipment, (vii) inserts radiopaque material (eg barium sulphate) in the cavities formed by the artificial teeth that were previously inserted into the model, thus obtaining the tomographic guide, (viii) installs the tomographic guide on the patient's arch and finally (ix) performs the tomographic examination on the face of the patient. patient whose implant is to be performed.
- radiopaque markers eg barium sulphate
- the professional can calculate by software the correct positioning of the hole in the bone, always aiming to maximize the implant anchorage and not cause any damage to the patient.
- the practitioner positions the cast model on an equipment whose base tilts in any direction in the horizontal plane and, in some cases, moves linearly horizontally.
- the base is positioned with an inclination such that a positioning element touches the plaster model in the ideal position (correct horizontal coordinates and inclination) to make the hole.
- the positioner element is replaced by a cutter / drill and a hole similar to that to be drilled into the patient's mouth in positioning, angulation and depth is made.
- the professional places in its interior a component similar to the implant (implant analog) that will be performed. In some process variations, part of where the implant will be placed is removed from the cast, but this is irrelevant to the exact definition of the technique. Having placed the implant-like component, the practitioner fixes on it a projecting guide that protrudes beyond the implant, assuming the central positioning of the place where the original tooth would be located. This projection guide, as it should be, is a mark indicating the ideal point for the positioning of the drilling cutter / drill.
- the professional produces a polymeric plate over the plaster model, which, of course, will circumvent the projecting guide, and in the end, Simply remove the plate and drill the exact location where the definitive cutter / drill guide should be positioned.
- the projecting guide itself is actually a drill guide and is an integral part of the board.
- the resulting acrylic plate will have a hole with a guide in the exact location where the patient's bone drilling should occur.
- Another disadvantage is the excessive steps required until the hole is drilled, such as model positioning, model drilling, insertion of the projecting guide, etc.
- the positioning of the plaster mold itself in the correct position requires a series of movements in the positioning equipment (many adjustments), which brings with it an inherent inaccuracy: the greater the amount of measurements and steps, the greater the chance that some measurement error will occur. or positioning, however small. And this accumulation of small errors can give rise to a not-so-negligible final error, which in practice happens quite often.
- This situation in combination with the inherent inaccuracy of the drilling due to the deviation or flexion of the cutter / drill, makes the final imprecision of the implant positioning, although reduced compared to the free hand surgery, to present values higher than wanted.
- US 7,097,451 relates to a thermoplastic template for performing dental implants and a method for performing such a procedure.
- the template comprises a malleable thermoplastic base and a rigid guide tube for drill positioning.

- U.S. Patent 5,556,278 discloses a method for correctly positioning an implant bore using a template and a positioning arm. However, due to the size and weight of the arm, it is difficult to insert the drill and handle it to make the hole in the patient's mouth, being anesthetized. It is a relatively rudimentary technique.
- WO 2006/130068 relates to an instrument for enabling the correct orientation of a drill or guide for making holes for the installation of a dental implant.
- Such an instrument comprises two retaining arms that secure it to the template as well as guide arms whose function is to determine the holes for drilling the template. After, with the application of the instrument in the anesthetized patient's mouth, the correct orientation is obtained by the location of the template where the instrument is oriented with the respective mark. With this, the system makes it possible to drill the hole in the exact place where it should occur, ensuring the success of the operation.
- US 7,044,735 relates to a method for installing a dental implant that includes the steps of positioning a guide tube adjacent to the patient's bone and, after taking tomographic images, creating a computer image of such a so that the exact location for the hole where the implant will be placed is defined.
- a dental implant requires high financial resources due to the mandatory use of CT equipment, which is beyond the reach of the health facilities of the vast majority of cities in less economically developed regions.
- German document DE 20 2005 009 782 relates to the process of manufacturing a template, especially designed for positioning drill guides for making implants, comprising at least one, but preferably two, planes or fasteners for fastening film.

- the large amount of X-ray plates required exposes the patient excessively and increases the cost of the procedure.
- This document reveals a very sophisticated and costly equipment for determining the correct positioning of the guide tubes, which greatly limits their use in places where resources are scarce.
- Brazilian patent document PI 0301843-1 relates to a constructive arrangement applied to a surgical guide tube, wherein the tube comprises a first outer tube and a second inner tube provided with an upper flange.
- the second tube comprising a through opening, is fitted into the first tube and, coupled together, form a single assembly.
- a plurality of cutters or drills are inserted consecutively and pierce the patient's bone tissue until the final hole is reached.
- larger and larger cutters in diameter can be positioned which widen the hole made in the patient's bone tissue until its final configuration is reached.
- the object of this document has the disadvantage of the fact that, due to the small dimensions of the guide tube, its handling is considerably difficult and the inner tube may end up turning with the cutter / drill, constituting a dangerous situation and delaying the completion of the work. procedure. Additionally, it may happen that the patient involuntarily ends up ingesting or aspirating the element, which is dangerous.
- the guide tube object of document PI 0301843-1 does not prevent drift or flexion of the drill when drilling the bone tissue, and does not guarantee maximum precision in the implant placement holes.
- the positioning devices which may or may not also contribute to the correct positioning of the implant with great precision
- a plurality of them have been proposed, each seeking to solve the problem of correct positioning for drilling and mounting the implant guide, however, as a general rule, they are inexhaustibly complex, costly, heavy and difficult to handle.

- the present technology is especially ideal for professionals working in economically less developed regions or far from large cities / urban centers.
- a first configurative variation of the tomographic reference support object of the present invention will hereinafter be referred to as 'support' S1.
- a second configurative variation of support tomographic reference object of the present invention will hereinafter be referred to as 'support' S2.
- Brackets S1 and S2 have the primary reference function to enable accurate determination of the positioning of one or more millimeter-precision surgical guide tubes on an acrylic or acetate plate, setting up a surgical guide that will enable a or more holes in the patient's bone tissue and the correct placement of one or more implants. Brackets S1 and S2 also serve as a basis for attaching at least one guide tube positioning device D5 which is the object of the present invention and will be described below.
- support S1 comprises a substantially inverted "U” shaped body, defining a first main portion S10 'provided with two free ends from which a respective extended orthogonal portion S11' (which configures' legs of the "U").
- the first major portion S10 'and the two extended orthogonal portions S1 V define a space E which will be occupied by the mandibular or maxillary anatomical portion when the bracket S1 is installed in the patient's mouth or in a mold corresponding to that patient's dental arch.
- first main portion S10 comprises a first surface S100' facing the defined space E and a second opposite surface S101 '.
- each of the extended orthogonal portions S11 ' comprises a first surface S1 1' facing the defined space E and an opposite second surface S112 '.
- the extended orthogonal projections S1 V have the same length and are substantially parallel to each other and substantially perpendicular to the main portion S10 ', but it is evident that the geometrical details may vary freely, because the anatomy of the jaw and the jaw jaw varies greatly from one person to another. And, it is reiterated, that the protection defined for the present support S1 lies in its concept, and not in its specific geometric constitution.
- the second surface S101 'of the first main portion S10' comprises one or more locking elements S103 'which prevent rotation of the guide tube positioning device when it is attached to the support S1.
- two substantially transverse rectangular projections S103 ' are provided symmetrically and equidistantly with one another.
- support S1 does not comprise channels for conducting gingival probing since the examination itself indicates precisely the anatomy of the bone where the implant is to be placed.
- first and second radiopaque bodies S 3 'and S14' are also provided, in the preferred form of two radiopaque screws, positioned in holes located in the extended orthogonal portions S11 '.
- the screws are threaded into two threaded holes S15 'positioned adjacent the free ends of the first main portion S10'.
- the threaded holes 5 ' enter the two orthogonal projections S1', as can be seen in the respective figure. It is evident, however, that any other types of radiopaque elements may be used as desired or desirable.
- bracket S1 To perform the procedure, bracket S1 must be positioned / mounted on a plate of polymeric material molded from the patient's dental arch as a template, as previously argued. The support S1 is fixed to the base by any radiolucent bonding agent, such as self-curing acrylic resin. Mounting bracket S1 on the board configures a surgical guide.
- Mounting bracket S1 on the board is done on a tomographic mount, which can be found later.
- a prosthetic crown of radiopaque material (not shown) is attached to the second surface S101 'of the first major portion S10' for the tomographic examination (s).
- bracket S1 is positioned and fixed to the plate with great precision in order to avoid errors that distort the implant positioning, and therefore the use of the tomographic assembler is imperative.
- the second configurative variation of the tomographic reference support namely support S2
- Bracket S2 also serves as a base for fixing guide tube positioning devices, but has a more improved shape that facilitates their use and the perfect placement of one or more guide tubes on the acrylic plate.
- the support S2 allows the correct preparation of the surgical guide more easily than the support S1, being an important improvement of this.
- the support S2 comprises a flat body defined by a substantially isosceles trapezoidal shape, the ends of which are larger in base and convex in shape defining two portions demarcated by two projecting half circles S20 and S21 to ensure that This unique plaque shape can cover and overlap the shape of any dental arch.
- the entire geometry of the bracket S2, and not just the projecting half circles S20 and S21, is designed so that it can be used by any adult patient or has a well-developed facial / oral bone constitution and dental arch. . In any case, there is nothing to prevent one or more S2 support formats to serve a wider spectrum of patients.
- support S2 comprises a side surface provided with substantially protruded rounded edges S22 S23 from a first portion of said first half circle S20 to a second portion of said second half circle S21, delimiting the surface defining the smaller base. of the support body S2.
- shape of the bracket S2 is "C” or “half moon” in order to cooperate with the patient's oral cavity and dental arch.
- the support S2 is provided with five cylindrical protrusions S24 provided with through-cavities concentric to the respective cylindrical protrusions.
- Said protuberances S24 which are optional, as opposed to the obligate through cavities enclosing them, are disposed along the body of the support S2, so that preferably four protuberances are disposed adjacent the lateral ends and only one of the protuberances is disposed further. centrally to the surface defining the major base of the support body S2, close to the site defining the middle portion of the patient's tongue.
- a radiopaque body S25 (not shown) is associable with each of the cavities defined by the cylindrical protuberances S24.
- each S25 radiopaque body is shaped like a radiopaque screw, positioned vertically in localized holes, and their purpose is to determine a horizontal plane when analyzing tomographic images.
- Screws S25 enter the through-holes in threads provided therein (cylindrical protrusions S24, if any) until complete locking. It is evident, however, that the quantity and placement of radiopaque specimens may vary as necessary and / or desirable as long as they enable the visualization / determination of a single horizontal plane between them. Because of this, the minimum amount of radiopaque screws to be threaded into the bracket is three (three points define a plane).
- the lower surface of the bracket body S2 is further provided with any coordinate markings to identify the most suitable hole for the guide tube positioner installation.
- the holder S2 further comprises any locking elements such as auxiliary holes S27 which cooperate with respective projections in the positioning device to prevent it from rotating when associated with the holder.
- auxiliary holes S27 are positioned adjacent to the cylindrical protrusions S24. It should be noted that the quantity and placement of holes S27 may vary as required and / or desirable. In addition, holes S27 may be replaced by any other functional means of association.
- the bracket S2 To perform the procedure, the bracket S2 must be positioned / mounted on a plate of polymeric material molded from the dental arch of the patient who acts as a template, which is already known to those skilled in the art.
- the plate can take on any desired or necessary configuration (primarily depending on the shape of the patient's dental arch), as well as being made of any material and still obtainable by any manufacturing process. desired, since such variables are irrelevant to the determination of the scope of protection of the invention.
- the upper surface of the holder S2 is fixed to the plate / template provided with at least one prophetic crown of radiopaque material (not shown) for performing the tomographic examination (s).
- the radiopaque screws S25 and the radiopaque crown it is possible to obtain images with high precision, and the tomographic examination (whose steps will be described later) allows to provide the millimeter positioning of the guide tube in the plate / template, which will result in the drilling of a perfectly positioned implant
- the present invention further provides that at the end of the tomographic examinations, the holder S2 is optionally cut with, for example, a cutter, in order to adjust the body of the holder S2 to the plate / template and to continue the procedure of installing the device. implantation.
- the trapezoidal shape of the S2 support was specially designed to fit the patient's mouth when performing examinations and / or implant placement, without having to end their ends. necessarily be cut.
- the patient's dental arch model must be mounted on a fixture base and fixed to it by plaster or mechanically. This process requires special care regarding the preparation of the plaster model (special cutouts at the base of the model), correct positioning and alignment of the model in relation to the apparatus, and fixation with plaster requires considerable time and material consumption (the plaster itself used in the joining process).
- the equipment that will receive the model should have an appropriate base and complex mechanical resources to allow the model to perform rotational, tilt and linear sliding movements, and to calculate mathematically the extent of these movements and to perform them accurately. .
- Such complicators mean an increase in the industrial production cost of the equipment, the time and complexity of the professional's work, and a collateral increase in the probability of failure.
- tomographic supports S1 and S2 also produces the images necessary for planning, but greatly simplifies the work, since the following steps are eliminated, ie:
- Supports S1 and S2 may be made of any necessary or desirable radiolucent material, all variations being included within the scope of protection of the invention.
- the aforementioned tomographic assembler is preferably used in conjunction with said support S1, enabling its correct alignment over the plate / template.
- the accuracy of the CT scans would be of no avail if the respective support S1 is positioned misaligned with respect to the plate / template (and ultimately the dental arch and the bone to be drilled for implant placement), since It is he who ensures the correct positioning of the support S1 on the polymeric material plate.
- tomographic support assembler object of the present invention will hereinafter be referred to as 'tomographic assembler' M4.
- the M4 tomographic assembler is, in essence, a level and adjustable structure designed to allow the specific mounting of the tomographic support S1 in correct alignment on the respective plate / template of polymer material.
- Assembler M4 comprises a base 40 provided with at least three leveling elements M41, which enable it to be tilted in any desired direction.
- the leveling elements are M41 threaded screws provided in the M40 base, but it is apparent that other means such as adjustable telescopic projections may be used. individually, or any other solution that is functional and reliable. Most preferably, four M41 screws are used, each positioned on a corner of the M40 base, which is also preferably square.
- a column M42 perpendicular to the base M40, from which the upper free end projects a substantially horizontal arm M43.
- the M43 arm can rotate relative to the column.
- the M43 arm in turn, has an M44 support loader, which is contained within a through hole positioned adjacent its free end and whose movement is limited by a horizontal locking screw M45.
- the support loader M44 is preferably comprised of a vertical rod M440 fixed inferiorly to a horizontal base M441 provided with vertical holes M442 through which the loader pin M443 (preferably two) runs, lower threaded and frontally locked by an M444 locking screw.
- the M41 screws enable precise leveling of the base, while the rotational movement between the M42 spine and the M43 arm allows for greater positioning convenience of the patient's dental arch model (plaster model). with the board / template installed.
- the M443 charger pins can move vertically and rotationally, allowing precise adjustments in the mounting operation of the S1 tomographic support.
- the M442 vertical holes of the M441 horizontal base have distances corresponding to the size of the tomographic support S1 to be used.
- the movement of the M4 assembler components therefore ensures the mounting of the tomographic support S1 in correct alignment on the respective plate / template of polymeric material, since both the acrylic plate (positioned on the plaster mold, which in turn is positioned M4 base M4) as the column M42, rod M43 and inference support S1, will be in perfect horizontal angular alignment.
- bracket S2 When using bracket S2, the assembler is not required since that bracket itself defines a plane as it has three or more radiopaque elements.
- the present invention further relates to the aforementioned guide tube positioning device (which will be described below) which enables the positioning of one or more guide tubes for the millimeter-precision guided implant installation in the implant placement hole.
- the accuracy achieved by this technique is a proven 0.3 millimeter (mm).
- the present procedure starts with the exact determination of the implant positioning to be performed. Such determination is preferably performed by analyzing tomographic examinations performed on the patient's face,
- the professional In the tomographic exams, the professional first makes a plaster model of the patient's dental arch and, based on it, manufactures the aforementioned plate of polymeric material (as a rule, acetate or thermoplastic PVC).
- This plate is widely known in the dental environment, simple to manufacture and has a very low cost, compared to the expensive plates obtained by the prototyping process already mentioned.
- To this board is installed the tomographic support S1 or S2.
- the polymeric material plate containing the tomographic support S1 or S2, with the respective vertical screws and the radiopaque tooth, is fixed over the patient's dental arch and the patient's face is scanned on the tomograph.
- the resulting tomograph images will show, in the region in question, all the bone characteristics, the neighboring teeth, the radiopaque tooth (which on examination will look like a common tooth as if present) and the respective at least three radiopaque vertical screws present on the tomographic support S1 or S2, which, it is noted, are parallel to each other and of the same height, defining a horizontal plane between them.
- the practitioner can then order the computer program to make parallel and perpendicular image cuts to the line determined by the respective radiopaque vertical screws. Since the tomographic support S1 or S2 has been positioned in the same plane relative to the acrylic plate (defined by radiopaque screws or the like), this condition is guaranteed and a series of geometrically accurate images can be generated. As these images are perpendicular and parallel to the bone, there is no deformation of the pointed measurements, and the planning of implant placement may be ideal.
- the professional can simulate / position over the implant the ideal size and position, which are determined according to bone tissue thickness, nerve positioning, maxillary sinus. or the floor of the nasal cavity, the position of the neighboring teeth, and also the ideal position of the tooth to be implanted (simulated by the radiopaque installed on the tomographic support).
- the computer program Due to the surgical planning, the computer program generates numbers corresponding to the ideal positioning of the hole, namely the transverse position in relation to the bone (called buccolingual distance), the transverse angle in relation to the bone (called vestibular angle). -lingual), the longitudinal position relative to the bone (called the mesio-distal distance), the longitudinal angle relative to the bone (called the mesio-distal angle) and its depth in the bone.
- the ideal position for forming the hole is formed, and the next step is to install the guide tube on the plate / template, in this exact planned position, to position / drive the dentist's cutter or drill with precision while piercing the bone.
- the guide tube comprises at least one first outer tube segment T1 provided with a first first axial through-opening T5 and at least one second inner tube segment T2, provided with a second axial through-opening T6, the second tube segment T2 being inserted into the first axial through-opening T5 of the first tube segment T1.
- the inner segment of tube T2 is also known as reducing tube, as it fits right into the diameter of the cutter or drill, which is smaller.
- the inside diameter of the first axial through opening T5 be substantially equivalent to the outside diameter of the second pipe segment T2. If there is an excessive gap between them, the second tube segment T2 may have a radial clearance inside the first opening T5, which will make the hole in the patient's bone more inaccurate, as will be mentioned below. On the other hand, if there is a situation where the second pipe segment T2 enters too much interference inside the first opening T5, the functionality is impaired as a lot of force will have to be applied to it.
- both outer and inner tube segments T1 and T2 have circular cross-section, although in some specific situations other shapes may be envisioned.
- the outer tube segment T1 further comprises at least one side through hole T3 substantially cooperating with at least a respective third through hole T7 provided in the inner tube segment T2, as can be readily seen in the figures.
- the so-called locking position is one where there is no angular movement of the inner tube segment T2 relative to the inner tube segment T1, and corresponds to the operating condition of the guide tube, to be explained below.
- there may be some configurative variation of the guide tube where slight angular movement is foreseen, provided that such movement does not completely displace the side through hole T3 and the third through hole T7.
- the outer tube segment T1 comprises two side through holes T3 positioned in their midline and diametrically opposite, as shown in Figure T1, although this is only one of many possible variations.
- the inner tube segment T2 comprises two third diametrically opposed through passages T7, each having a first extreme portion positioned in the midline of the outer wall. of the inner tube segment T2.
- the third through openings are downwardly inclined, i.e. each comprising a second extreme portion positioned at the lower portion of the wall defining the second axial through opening T6.
- the outer tube segment T1 preferably comprises at least one locking means which preferably, but not necessarily, takes the form of a radial inlet slot T4 located at its extreme upper portion.
- the locking means may be provided as long as they are functional.
- the outer tube segment comprises two diametrically opposed radial inlet slots T4 as shown in Figure 1, although their particular shape may vary freely.
- At least one means for manipulation and positioning T8 which preferably has the form of a substantially linear and inclined loop, which protrudes radially and upwardly from the outer wall of outer tube segment T2.
- T8 preferably has the form of a substantially linear and inclined loop, which protrudes radially and upwardly from the outer wall of outer tube segment T2.
- the T8 handle comprises an extreme surface provided with a T10 through hole and knurled surface finish.
- the outer tube segment T1 is installed and fixed to the polymeric material plate in the specified position, a procedure already explained above.
- This outer segment is positioned in the ideal position calculated for the bone hole to be perfect by means of the guide tube positioning device which is also an object of the present invention and which will be described in detail below.
- the outer tube segment T1 is positioned over the exact location where the dental implant will be installed.
- the next step is to place, install and secure the inner tube segment T2 within the first axial through opening T5.
- the outer tube segment T2 is rotated angularly until the handle T8, or the like, penetrates one of the slots T4.
- the handle is prevented from moving even in reverse unless an upward force is applied to it.
- the slots T4 have a geometry such that the loop T8 only penetrates inside when the inner tube segment 12 is moved angularly clockwise. Such a situation is preferred since drills and cutters that make the bone hole (not shown) also rotate clockwise, and unintentional or accidental unlocking simply cannot occur. Such a situation, however, is merely optional.
- the trader can choose which of the two T4 slots to lock into, which can be very convenient as the T8 loop has the additional functions of facilitating positioning. of the inner tube segment.
- the aforementioned hole T 0 in the T8 loop serves to tie a surgical wire to prevent swallowing or accidental suction of the inner tube segment 12 in the remote situation where it has detached and exited. its position within the first through opening T5.
- the primary function of the knurl on the T8 loop is to facilitate the friction (grip) of the instrument used by the practitioner to position it within the aforementioned opening T5.
- the cutter or drill After correctly securing the inner tube segment T2, as mentioned above (see figure 4), the cutter or drill is positioned within the second axial through opening T6. This tool-driven cutter then rotates and opens a hole in the patient's jaw or jaw bone tissue.
- the surgeon should use several segments of inner tube 12, with second T6 axial through openings of gradually larger diameters that correspond to the diameters of the bone drill bits.
- the surgeon replaces the inner tube segment 12 used with another whose axial through-hole T6 has a larger diameter and, having a larger diameter cutter, widens the bone hole, and so on. , until it is finished.
- the great advantage of the downward sloping positioning of the through openings 17 is that they allow the tool to cool down at the last moment before it penetrates the bone, eliminating the chance of overheating.
- the great innovation of the guide tube object of the present invention lies in the innovative constitution of the inner tube segment 12, which comprises an integrated axial extension P.
- This extension is intended to increase the contact surface between the bone drill bit and the inner opening T6 of the inner tube 12 avoiding flexion or deviation of the drill bit during the hole making, greatly increasing the accuracy of the surgical intervention.
- the inner tube segment 12 comprises a first free end 12 'facing the bone portion, and an opposite second free end T2 ".
- the integrated axial extension P protrudes from the second free end 12 "i.e. it is opposite to the bone (thus facing the patient's buccal cavity). In a second preferred embodiment, the integrated axial extension P extends from the first free end 12 ', i.e. it faces the oscillator only.
- one possibility is that the integrated axial extension P has the same diameter as the rest of the segment and another possibility is that it has a smaller diameter.
- the integrated axial extension P extends from the second free end T2 ", it faces the patient's buccal cavity, which is a drawback if the implant to be performed is located at the back of the mouth (region of premolars and molars, for example) due to the poor opening of the oral cavity in this region.
- the variation of the inner tube segment whose axial extension P is facing the bone tissue is most suitable.
- an inner pipe segment T2 without axial extension P is positioned within the outer segment T1, and a first partial drilling step is performed.
- the depth of this first drilling step is reduced to ensure that only a small portion of the tool is free and therefore there are no bends or bends.
- This T2 segment has no axial extension P not to be too high, which cannot occur in the posterior region of the oral cavity due to lack of space.
- the T2 segment is removed and in its place another T2 segment is inserted, but with a short extension P (as a rule, the additional length of this extension in relation to the newly removed segment is equivalent to the depth of the hole made in the first drilling step).
- This other segment T2 is positioned so that the free end of the extension P penetrates the partially open hole in the bone. As a result, the T2 segment is fully anchored to the bone and drill bending or bending is prevented. Also due to the penetration of extension P into the hole, the resulting height of this segment T2 in the buccal cavity is not increased.
- segment T2 is removed and in its place another segment T2 is inserted, but with a slightly longer extension P.
- This other segment T2 is positioned so that the free end of the extension P penetrates the partially open hole in the bone.
- This T2 segment is fully anchored to the bone and drill bending or deflection is prevented, and another hole segment is performed. Also due to the penetration of extension P into the hole, the resulting height of this segment T2 in the buccal cavity is not increased.
- this segment T2 may need to be replaced with another segment T2, whose extension P has an even longer length, to perform a fourth drilling step, as mentioned in the preceding paragraphs, for drilling. second and third.
- This step drilling where one inner pipe segment T2 is replaced by another whose length P has a longer length, is called stepped drilling or milling, and the existence of several units, each having a length P of a given length, is imperative for the millimeter accuracy obtained at the end of the hole drilling. And, reiterating, such accuracy is only achieved due to the innovative constitution of the inner tube segments T2 with extension P.
- the guide tube whose inner tube segment T2 is provided with extension P makes it possible to increase the contact surface with the drill / cutter, increasing the accuracy in bone milling and, consequently, in the final position of the implant.
- D5 guide tube positioning device which enables its positioning with millimeter precision on a plate that fits snugly and precisely over the patient's dental arch.
- the polymeric plate For installation of the guide tube fixed to the acrylic plate, and having taken the tomographic images, the polymeric plate is removed from the patient's mouth and fitted again on the plaster model.

- the mesio-distal support D300 is fixed to the fixing bracket D900 and is composed of a preferably rectangular upper and upper curved body D1700, internally and transversely provided with two through slots, a first upper D1800 slot and a second lower D1900 slot.
- the upper groove D1800 has an upper opening and describes the same outer curvature as the D300 support, ie its upper and lower surfaces are curved and have the same radius of curvature.
- the lower slot 1900 has a lower opening.
- the holder D300 further comprises two substantially rectangular open vertical windows D2000 on its front face, one first upper window and a second lower window. Between both windows are two D 1500 threaded holes housing 1600 screws or any other equivalently functional fastening means.
- the mesio-distal goniometer support and buccal-lingual rail D500 is composed of a graduated circular arc ruler D2300, whose center D2400 is the vertical axis, and is fixed in its upper portion to a vertical support D2500 which also supports a second ruler.
- horizontal graduated D2600 perpendicular to the rear face of the graduated ruler D2300.
- the buccal-lingual support and buccal-lingual goniometer D600 is composed of a closed horizontal U-shaped profile D2700, being opened in its anterior portion and provided with a threaded hole D1500 in its posterior face. Such threaded hole houses a thumbscrew or the like D1600.
- the lower portion of the support D2700 is fixed to a vertical bar D2800 which in turn supports a graduated half-arc ruler D2900 whose zero point D3000 is vertically.
- the D700 assembler loader is composed of a substantially trapezoidal body D3100 whose upper face D3200 describes a curve, and is provided with a substantially transverse internal arc-shaped groove D3300 which accompanies the curvature of the face D3200.
- the charger D700 further comprises a center-top opening D3400 of slot D3300, a rectangular window D3500 on its front face D3600, two D1500 threaded holes housing two D1600 thumbscrews and one substantially vertical D3700 tube embedded in its underside.
- the guide tube assembler D800 consists of a thin vertical axis D3800 fixed to a larger diameter cylindrical base D3900, which in turn is provided with two horizontally and diametrically opposed D4000 radial teeth.
- the D900 base horizontal ruler D2200 is inserted into the lower slot D1900 of the D300 bracket, fixed by the respective screw D 600.
- the horizontal ruler D2600 of the mesio-distal goniometer and buccolingual rail D500 is inserted into the profile D2700 of the buccolingual goniometer and buccal-lingual goniometer support D600.
- the semicircular ruler D2900 is inserted in turn into the internal slot D3400 of the charger D700.
- screw D1100 is inserted into hole D1000 of base D100 and screwed into a corresponding threaded hole provided in tomographic support S1 and S2. There is therefore no basis in the literal sense of the word.
- the D5 device For mounting the D5 device to bracket S1 and S2, it must be associated with the polymeric plate and it, in turn, must be positioned over the plaster model, as mentioned above. Additionally, the trader should already have position information about the positioning of the guide tube on the plate.
- the tomographic support S1 and S2 as the threaded fixation hole was occupied by the radiopaque vertical screw used in the tomographic examination, the simple positioning of the D5 device there already ensures its precise position, and the perpendicularism in relation to the line formed by the two.
- radiopaque supports based on which the tomographic examination provided the various parallel and perpendicular sections (already commented above) ensures that this positioning presents no errors or inaccuracies.
- the aforementioned locking elements S103 'or holes S27 are provided in the holder.
- the buccolingual goniometer can only position the guide tube at angles greater than zero counted from the plane defined by the D900 mounting bracket. Therefore, if we consider that the device D5 is positioned in one of the respective holes that received the radiopaque vertical screws, if the buccolingual positioning angle of the guide tube is negative in relation to the plane defined by the support, it will be impossible to position it. In these cases, the D5 device should be installed in another hole of the tomographic support on the opposite side of the dental arch, as it will operate at 180 degrees and it will be possible to position the buccolingual angle correctly because, by operating otherwise, the buccal angle -lingual will be positive from the reference (mounting bracket D900).
- a major advantage of using bracket S2 over bracket S1 is the larger number of holes available, always aiming to facilitate the fixation of the D5 device and the correct positioning of the guide tube (s).
- the angle is obtained by moving the D700 rider loader over the buccal-lingual goniometer D600, illustrated in the figures with the letter A. Angular movement can be controlled by observing values on the buccal-lingual goniometer scale. . From there, you must handle the D5 device to position the guide tube in the correct position. Considering the implant in a given tooth, from the position of the device D5 over the tomographic support (zero point), the respective elements of the movement set must be handled for this purpose.
- the practitioner moves the D300 mesio-distal support backwards (distal direction) to the point determined as ideal in his calculations.
- the movement distance can be controlled up to one tenth of a millimeter from the values in the first horizontal ruler D2200.
- the practitioner moves the D300 mesio-distal support forward (mesial direction) to the ideally determined point in his calculations. .
- the positioning of the D5 device may vary depending on the buccolingual angle and the guide tube should be positioned.
- the buccolingual support and buccal lingual goniometer D600 is moved slightly in the buccal or lingual direction until the ideal transverse position is found. This movement is illustrated in the figures with the letter C. The movement can be controlled by observing values on the scale of the second horizontal graduated ruler D2600.
- the buccolingual angle and the buccolingual position it remains to correctly position the tube in relation to the mesio-distal angle, which can be done by moving the buccolingual support and goniometer.
- lingual vestibule D600 in relation to meso-distal goniometer D500. Since the rail is curved, such movement generates a mesio-distal angular rotation of the D500 goniometer. Angular movement can be controlled by observing values on the D500 mesio-distal goniometer scale and is shown in the figures with the letter D.
- device D5 has a geometry such that the percent radius of both goniometers is precisely the point where it is attached to the tomographic support S1 and S2.
- the guide tube assembler D800 is lowered until it is positioned at the level of the acrylic plate to which it is attached. This movement is shown in the figures with the letter E. Then the D800 assembler is lifted and the guide tube remains fixed to the plate.
- each type of linear (mesial, distal, buccal and lingual) or angular (mesial, distal, buccal and lingual) movement is easily identified by applying colors on their numerical scales, which greatly facilitates the identification of the movement to be performed by those not very specialized in the subject.
- the D5 device has numerous advantages, including simplicity of manufacture and operation, precision, efficiency, low cost of ownership, lightness, portability, no periodic maintenance, no need for highly skilled labor to handle and be a device capable of positioning the outer guide tube with both information obtained from a tomography and information obtained from a radiograph associated with gingival probing.
- device D5 may vary without ceasing to be included within the scope of protection of the invention. It is sufficient only that it comprises at least some moving element for the correct determination for the positioning of the first outer tube segment.
- device D5 may be provided, such as that provided with an integrated base, where the plaster mold is positioned on that base and the equipment is calibrated so that the zero position is that where the hole is located. for positioning the radiopaque vertical screw.
