Abstract of WO2004098435
A dental tool for guiding a drill or biopsy punch during a dental implant procedure includes a drill bushing pivotally attached to a bushing holder. The bushing holder, in turn, is attached to a surgical stent that fits a patient's teeth, gums, and/or jaw. The pivotal connection between the drill bushing and the bushing holder allows the angular orientation of the drill bushing to be adjusted, so the trajectory of the drill or biopsy punch can be aimed directly into the patient's jawbone. Once the drill bushing is properly oriented, the bushing is bonded to the bushing holder to prevent further movement between the bushing and the holder.
