Fixation pin

Abstract

Fixation pin ( 1 ) for fixing a dental drill template. The fixation pin ( 1 ) has a head ( 5 ) having a bearing surface ( 10 ) that is intended to bear at least partially on the drill template, or a sleeve provided in the drill template. The fixation pin ( 1 ) has a rod ( 15 ) having a shape of an essentially circular cylinder and which extends from the bearing surface ( 10 ) at an essentially right angle. The rod ( 15 ) is intended to be inserted into the drill template or the sleeve provided in the drill template.

1 . Fixation pin for fixing a dental drill template, the fixation pin comprising a head having a bearing surface intended to bear at least partially on the drill template or a sleeve provided in the drill template, and a rod having a shape of an essentially circular cylinder and extending from the bearing surface of the head at an essentially right angle, the rod intended to be inserted into the drill template or the sleeve provided in the drill template. 
   
   
       2 . Fixation pin according to  claim 1 , wherein the head has a shape of an essentially circular cylinder. 
   
   
       3 . Fixation pin according to  claim 1 , wherein the head has a circumventing indentation. 
   
   
       4 . Fixation pin according to  claim 3 , wherein the circumventing indentation has a concave shape. 
   
   
       5 . Fixation pin according to  claim 1 , wherein the rod has a first portion extending from the bearing surface of the head, and a subsequent second portion, wherein the second portion has a diameter which is smaller than the diameter of the first portion. 
   
   
       6 . Fixation pin according to  claim 5 , wherein the first portion of the rod is connected to the second portion by an intervening third portion, said third portion having a conical shape. 
   
   
       7 . Fixation pin according to  claim 1 , wherein the fixation pin is made of one single piece. 
   
   
       8 . Fixation pin according to  claim 1 , wherein the fixation pin is made of a material selected from the group consisting of hard plastics, stainless steel, titanium and titanium alloys. 
   
   
       9 . Fixation pin according to  claim 8 , wherein the fixation pin is made of a material selected from the group consisting of titanium and titanium alloys. 
   
   
       10 . Fixation pin according to  claim 8 , wherein the fixation pin is made of stainless steel. 
   
   
       11 . Fixation pin according to  claim 1 , wherein the fixation pin further comprises an aspiration security. 
   
   
       12 . Fixation pin according to  claim 11 , wherein the aspiration security is a string attached to the head of the fixation pin. 
   
   
       13 . A set comprising at least one fixation pin according to  claim 1 . 
   
   
       14 . A method comprising use of the fixation pin according to  claim 1  for fixing a dental drill template while drilling a hole in a patient's jaw bone.
