Dental Implant Alignment And Bending Apparatus

US Patent:
4732564, Mar 22, 1988
Filed:
Dec 23, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/945587
Inventors:
Frank R. Potucek - Clearwater FL
Edward J. Smith - Clearwater FL
Assignee:
Surgical Appliances, Inc. - Clearwater FL
International Classification:
A61C 300
US Classification:
433 50
Abstract:
Apparatus includes a mandible alignment device and a jaw pattern jig to prepare a one-piece metal dental implant for insertion into a patient's mouth. The alignment device has a central scissors member with a rear positioned thumb wheel controlling the longitudinal spread of the scissors blades. A front portion of a longitudinal angle adjustment member mounted over the scissors holds an anterior foot portion of a dental implant. A rod integral with the end of each scissors blade supports a housing holding a ramus member portion of a dental implant. After a pattern is determined by the alignment device, it is locked into the jaw pattern jig and the one-piece metal dental implant is bent to shape to substitute for the anterior foot and ramus members removed from the alignment device.
