Kits containing the necessary templates and delivery cylinders (sometimes called sleeves) to guide dental instruments used to prepare tissue, drill into the maxilla or mandible (osteomy) and deliver a dental implant during guided dental surgery. These kits typically contain small hollow metal cylinder-shaped sleeves of different diameters (e.g. 2.8 or 5 mm inside diameter) with lips at the instrument interface ends that are fixed in specially molded template matrices that, when secured to the bone, gum, or teeth of patients, hold the cylinders adjacent to the spot in the bone where the implant will be placed. The sleeves are designed to accept dedicated dental instruments (e.g., mills, taps, C-handles, drill handles, and drill bits) to place the implant with precision to a predetermined depth into the bone. The building of the template that holds the sleeve is often determined by computer modeling based on patient measurements. Dental implant delivery kits for guided dental surgery are used in dental care settings for precision delivery and placement of dental implants.
