ABSTRACT:
A surgical guide assembly is provided for positioning a drill bit during a dental implant procedure. The guide assembly includes a mounting member configured to mount to one or more teeth adjacent to an edentulous area, a base connected to the mounting member and dimensioned to extend over the edentulous area, a translation member adjustable with respect to the base, and a rotation member adjustable with respect to the translation member. The rotation member includes an aperture configured to receive a radiographic marker or a drill. The translation and rotation members may be configured to adjust one of the mesio-distal (MD) rotational alignment and the buccal-lingual (BL) rotational alignment of the radiographic marker inserted in the aperture while holding the other of the MD and BL rotational alignment mechanically fixed. Also, the translation and rotation members may be configured to adjust the other of the MD and BL translational alignment of the radiographic marker while holding said one of the MD and BL translational alignment mechanically fixed. A method of using the dental implant positioning assembly is also disclosed.
