17 Claims

1. A kit, comprising:

(a) a bone foundation guide configured to engage an alveolar ridge of a patient, the bone foundation guide comprising:

(i) a first surface configured to be positioned on a buccal side of the alveolar ridge of a patient and face away from the alveolar ridge of the patient in a buccal direction when the bone foundation guide is secured to the alveolar ridge of the patient,

(ii) a second surface positioned adjacent to the first surface, the second surface being configured to be positioned on the buccal side of the alveolar ridge of the patient when the bone foundation guide is secured to the alveolar ridge of the patient,

(iii) a third surface positioned adjacent to the second surface and opposite to the first surface, the third surface being configured to be positioned on the buccal side of the alveolar ridge of the patient when the bone foundation guide is secured to the alveolar ridge of the patient, the third surface being configured to face toward the alveolar ridge of the patient in a lingual direction when the bone foundation guide is secured to the alveolar ridge of the patient,

(iv) a first plurality of openings passing through the first surface, the first plurality of openings being configured to receive fasteners to secure the bone foundation guide to the alveolar ridge of the patient, and

(v) a second plurality of openings passing through the second surface, the second plurality of openings being configured for positioning on a buccal side of the alveolar ridge of the patient; and

(b) a prosthetic configured to removably couple with the bone foundation guide, the prosthetic comprising:

(i) an arched portion including a replication of dentition, the arched portion defining an arc corresponding to the alveolar ridge of the patient, and

(ii) a plurality of arms configured to engage the bone foundation guide in a region that is positioned buccally relative to the alveolar ridge of the patient, the plurality of arms extending from the arched portion such that the plurality of arms is positioned along the arc of the arched portion that corresponds to the alveolar ridge of the patient, each arm of the prosthetic comprising a protrusion, the protrusions being configured for positioning on the buccal side of the alveolar ridge of the patient;

each opening of the second plurality of openings of the bone foundation guide being configured to receive a corresponding protrusion of the plurality of arms in the region that is positioned buccally relative to the alveolar ridge of the patient.
