Abstract:
A guidance device for facilitating the controlled perforation of the cortical area of the jawbone of humans or other species for subsequent injection of fluids, comprising a thin plate penetrated by a minimum of one straight passage, said thin plate made of a hard plastic or other durable composite or pure material sufficiently dense to channel the route of a dental drill through said passage without structural failure of purpose, said straight passage following a fixed line, said fixed line creating an angle between forty-five and ninety degrees to the general plane containing the majority of said thin plate;where said thin plate has a connecting extension emanating from one face near to or on the border of said thin plate, said extension of sufficient length to serve as a means of attachment to further dental apparatus; together with the second half of an adjustable trombone lock, such that the far end of said extension is of a shape to serve as one or the other component of said trombone lock, such that said second half is complementary to connect with said extension, and such that the distant end of said second half terminates in a bite block, or terminates in a strap runner suitable to be adhered to vulcanizing rubber dam, or terminates in an attachment means suitable to interface with said bite block, said strap runner, or said clamping device.
