Abstract
A dental tool for guiding a drill bit during a dental implant procedure includes a pivotal drill bushing attached to a bushing holder. The bushing holder, in turn, is attached to a surgical dental stent that fits a patient's jaw. The bushing holder attaches to the stent by extending into a hole or bore of the stent. In some cases, the bushing holder snaps into the hole.
