Filed:

Mar 7, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/093368

Inventors:

Michael Klein - Woodmere NY
Michael Abrams - Roslyn NY

Assignee:

Implant Logic Systems - Cedarhurst NY

International Classification:

A61C 800

US Classification:

433173, 433 72, 433 75

Abstract:

A system of temporary stabilizing implants are provided at specifically determined locations in a patients jawbone for positioning and temporarily stabilizing a dental surgical template at a specifically determined orientation with respect to the jawbone. The template is used to arrange and create osteotomies at sites where permanent dental implants will be located. The template is removably and replaceably positioned with respect to the temporary stabilizing implants by the use of components provided in the template that engage the temporary stabilizing implants, such that the template may be used over a prolonged time period as necessary. Once the dental surgical template is no longer needed, the temporary stabilizing implants are preferably removed.

International Classification:

A61C011/00
A61C008/00

US Classification:

433/213000, 433/173000

Abstract:

A master cast or model for use in fabricating a dental prosthesis is created by modifying or altering a pre-existing cast or model using computer data derived from a CT scan. The use of such computer data eliminates the need to take an impression of a patient's oral anatomy following modification of such oral anatomy in preparation for the dental prosthesis.

International Classification:

A63B 7104
A63C 1900

US Classification:

273411

Abstract:

An enclosed or open playing court, of generally rectangular shape, has two vertical end walls and two vertical side walls with four traps or alcoves spaced along the side walls. The court is bounded by a floor below, and optionally a ceiling above. The vertical end walls at each end of the court are the scoring walls. Players typically stand at each end of the court and face each other. A resilient rubber ball is caught and thrown by hand. The play consists of throwing the ball towards the opponent's scoring wall. The ball must bounce twice on the floor within a designated area, before being caught by the other player, or striking the opponent's scoring wall at a minimum height above the floor. In normal play, after the ball is caught by the other player, it is returned by throwing the ball towards the scoring wall defended by first player. To score a point, the ball must pass the other player and hit the back wall.

International Classification:

US Classification:

433 75

Abstract:

A surgical template and method for drilling osteotomies (e. g. , holes in a jawbone) and installing one or more dental implants using a surgical template assembly. The surgical template assembly is provided with one or more drill guides and one or more dental implant guides. The guides are positioned in the surgical template assembly by a computer-driven milling machine interfaced with a computer-generated image of a patient's jawbone and a computer-generated simulation of at least one dental implant so that when the surgical template is placed in the patient's mouth a trajectory of the guides in the surgical template into the patient's jawbone corresponds to a trajectory of the computer-generated simulation of the dental implant into the computer-generated image of the patient's jawbone. Preferably, three fiducial markers, provide positional coordination between the CT scan data, the computer-generated simulation of the dental implant, and the computer-driven milling machine.
