| Abstract | |
| This invention proposes a tooth bud ablation system for use in a tooth bud ablation procedure that results in tooth agenesis. The system comprises a customized surgical stent (110) with at least one surgical guide (112) which corresponds, in use, to at least one tooth bud surgical site. The tip of the ablation probe (108) has an ablation center. The at least one surgical guide (112) has a structure to guide the placement of the tip of the ablation probe (108) so that, in use, by inserting said tip of the ablation probe (108) through of said at least one surgical guide (112), the center of the ablation is in the center of a tooth bud (120). |

| Canadian Patent 2939815 | |
|---|---|
| Therapeutic Tooth Bud Ablation | |
| Abstract | |
| A method for manufacturing or fabricating a custom surgical stent. The stent is manufactured or fabricated with at least one ablation probe tip guide for guiding at least one ablation probe tip to a pre-defined angle and depth of ablation based on information obtained from a volume scan image. In the volume scan image, hard tissue is visible, a dental impression is visible, and soft tissue “visible” as the space between the visible hard tissue and the visible dental impression. A typical X-ray scan only shows hard tissue; accordingly, to obtain both soft and hard tissue information using simultaneous three-dimensional scanning, a dental impression is used that can be viewed on an X-ray. |
| Canadian Patent 2939821 | |

| Method for Volume Scanning | |
| Abstract | |
| A method for volume scanning both hard tissues and soft tissues of a patient. An impression of a material visible in a volume scan is used. A volume scan is generated in which hard tissue is visible and the impression is visible and soft tissue is “visible” as the space between the visible hard tissues and the visible impression. The results of generating the volume scan are provided for the purpose of manufacturing or fabricating a custom surgical stent having at least one surgical guide for guiding placement of an ablation probe tip. A typical X-ray scan only shows hard tissue; accordingly, to obtain soft and hard tissue information using simultaneous three-dimensional scanning, a dental impression is used that can be viewed on an X-ray. |
