Patent ID: 8167615

Claim:
Method for making a guiding template for dental implantation, comprising the steps of: making a base template suitable for being coupled to one or more teeth of the dental arch; associating the base template to a reference device, making a reference set; removably associating the reference set to the dental arch; obtaining a model of the reference set associated to the dental arch through scanning devices and processing programs to provide a dental arch model, the dental arch model comprising a computerized representation of at least a portion of the dental arch, the model of at least a portion of the base template and the model of at least a portion of the reference device, coupled to one another; determining a model of construction elements relating to an implant planning on the dental arch model, wherein the model of construction elements comprises a computerised representation of implant models used to attach a reconstructed tooth to bone, wherein the implant models are designed, provided with a position, an inclination and a depth, relative to the dental arch model and the base template; generating a volume model comprising a representation of a body suitable for being coupled to the reference device; coupling the volume model to the reference device model with computer programming; determining a model of guiding elements on the volume model with computer programming, generated based on the model of construction elements determined on the model of the arch; obtaining a volume based on the volume model and guiding elements thereon based on the model of guiding elements; coupling the volume to the reference device of the reference set; making guiding holes in the base template based on the guiding elements of the volume, wherein the guiding holes correspond to the locations and inclinations of the implant models, thus obtaining the guiding template.
