Benefits of technology

The invention is a dental-implant surgical-kit that includes color-coded components to safeguard against inadvertent errors and improve procedures. The kit includes a delivery tray with a specially designed color-coded surface that allows easy selection of the proper tool without having to closely inspect the tool's identification. The kit also includes a depth-stop device to prevent drilling beyond the critical depth limitation. The kit is designed to streamline procedures and improve the efficiency of the implant-dentist.

Problems solved by technology

Without the present invention improvement, the implant-dentist can inadvertently misread or otherwise become momentarily mentally-distracted, thus it is all too easy to execute a serious error, which even though the implant-dentist may be highly skilled, can possibly even become a dreadful medical-malpractice issue.

Abstract

An apparatus is an implant-dentist more readily identifiable visual segregation amongst their oral-surgery arbor-tools used conjunction with a conventional hand-held power / rotary-tool. The arbor-tools generally has at least a tri-echeloned set, wherein are included progressions of drill-bit lengths and companion thread-taps appearing in three different diameters. Additionally, the drill-bit shanks are optionally provided with a radial-flange serving as an automatic depth-stop device and these radial-flanges may include a distinctive annular-marker device serving to readily indicate the length of the selected drill-bit, thereby obviating usual procedure of stopping to confirm via the obscure conventional alpha-numeric indicia.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present disclosure relates to dental-implant arbor-tool organization, enabling faster and more accurate visual selection; and more specifically, it relates to discrete color-segregation of the arbor-tools and dental-implants according to the different diameters, which procedurally operate in conjunction with the dentists existing conventional hand-held power-driver. Additionally, this disclosure relates to an allied drilling-depth limiting device which also safeguards the oral-preparation procedure while providing demarcation means by which to readily distinguish progressions of drill-bit lengths from amongst a given diametrical family of arbor-tools.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Heretofore, the implant-dentist has been confronted with an overwhelming array of oral-surgery arbor-tools, which fit into the rotary-chuck of their hand-held pneumatic / power-driver. These arbor-tools generally constitute a three-echeloned set, wherein are included progres...
