Self-Limiting Occlusion Reduction Burr And Method Of Use
US Patent:
6511322, Jan 28, 2003
Filed:
Jun 29, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/893951
Inventors:
Athas N. Kometas - Daytona Beach Shores FL 32118
International Classification:
A61C 306
US Classification:
433166
Abstract:
A self-limiting occlusal reduction burr and method of use. The self-limiting occlusal reduction burr comprises a shank rigidly attached to one end of a conical shoulder, and a burr rigidly attached to an opposite end of the shoulder. The shank, shoulder, and burr are all axially symmetrical about an axis. A shoulder angle is defined by a shoulder outside surface and the axis, and in the preferred embodiment was 39°±20°. The self-limiting occlusal reduction burr may include indicia specifying a length of said burr and/or a diameter of said burr. The method of use includes the steps of determining an appropriate depth reduction required for a given tooth surface, selecting a self-limiting occlusal reduction burr having a burr length and/or burr diameter sized to yield the depth reduction determined, making a groove pattern using the self-limiting occlusal reduction burr selected, and using said self-limiting occlusal reduction burr to connect said grooves in order to yield a tooth reduction of said depth previously determined.

A method and apparatus to remove dental implant. The apparatus comprises a guide ring rotatably attached to a base, means to rotatably attach the guide ring to the base, means to attach the apparatus to an implant, and apparatus to remove dental implant indexing means sized to mate with implant indexing means when the apparatus is attached to the implant. Where an abutment is mounted to the implant, means of attaching the base to the abutment is taught.
