Abstract:
1. A bone engaging dental implant surgical stent placement procedure for providing a drill guide when making a pilot hole for an implant procedure in a bony ridge in the mouth of a patient, comprising: a gingival depth impression pin having a penetration end and an impression retention end to be placed in the patient's bony ridge at a location on the patient's gingival tissue to establish a penetration site, and an impression to be created of the patient's bony ridge by placing an impression material around the gingival depth impression pin and around the patient's gingival tissue, and having the impression removed from the patient's mouth, and placing a stent fabrication guide tube over the gingival depth impression pin, and pouring a dental stone into the impression surrounding the stent fabrication guide tube to create a working model with a penetration hole for placing a stent fabrication guide pin into the penetration hole, wherein the stent fabrication guide pin has a first outside diameter end, a second outside diameter end and a bevel and molding a baseplate matrix around the stent fabrication guide pin in the working model to create a bone engaging dental implant surgical stent which positions a pilot drill guide tube to actively engage with the bony ridge at the penetration site and to act as the drill guide when making the pilot hole, wherein the first outside diameter end of the stent fabrication guide pin is used to create a hole in the baseplate matrix when the baseplate matrix is molded around the stent fabrication guide pin, the second outside diameter end is of a diameter to firmly enter and engage the penetration site of the working model, the bevel is located in the middle of the stent fabrication guide pin, wherein the bevel creates an area of constricted resin in the baseplate matrix.
