ABSTRACT:
A dental guide for locating suitable positions at which bores are to be drilled in teeth for receiving a dental retaining splint, the guide being formed of a material which is detectable under x-rays. The guide includes a continuous rod shaped into a configuration having a U-shaped front section for overlying the labial surface of the teeth. The legs of the U-shaped front section extend into laterally disposed arms for overlying the occlusal surface of the teeth, and the arms terminate in downwardly extending pins. Each of the pins respectively is disposed in a common plane with an associated one of the legs of the U-shaped front section. With the pins positioned in drill guides, an x-ray taken of the teeth will reveal the location of the legs of the U-shaped section with respect to the teeth, so that a proper orientation of the bores to be drilled can be determined.
