Abstract

A snap-on snap-off drill stop device for boring into a tooth and or in bone. The stop device that impedes insertion of the bore device into the tooth or bone tissue beyond predetermined depths at pre-selected stages of a drilling process by simplifying the tedious process of exchanging drill bits and drill stops for the ultimate size and depth bore.

Claims (11)

1. A single-piece snap-on interchangeable dental surgical drill stop device comprising:

a single-piece snap-on drill stop having two ends, a first end adapted to taper fit to a hand grip drill handle, the first end partially adapted to the hand grip for rigidly snap-coupling the drill stop device with the hand grip drill handle;

the snap-on drill stop first end having a midsection elbow bending into and permanently continuous to an open drill stop cuff-like collar element with center disposed co-axial to a drill bit and conformably fitting to a drill assembly drill bit, the collar element extruding and permanently coupled to and protruding into the open drill stop cuff-like collar element at the distal second end, and

the snap-on drill stop second end having a drill bit parallel neck permanently continuous with the elbow midsection and collar element to a length short of the drill bit distal end with the open drill stop cuff-like collar element providing an impediment to any drill bit progress into a drill bit normal surface,

whereby the snap-on drill stop device can be inserted and/or removed manually without removing the drill bit and where the drill depth is quickly ascertainable by inspection of the protruding distance below the open drill stop cuff-like collar element.

2. The single-piece snap-on on interchangeable dental surgical drill stop device of claim 1 further comprising color coded snap-on drill stop.

3. The single-piece snap-on on interchangeable dental surgical drill stop device of claim 1 further comprising letter marking displaying snap-on drill stop dimensions.

4. The single-piece snap-on on interchangeable dental surgical drill stop device of claim 1 further comprising color coded snap-on drill stops for drill bit coordination.

5. The single-piece snap-on on interchangeable dental surgical drilling stop device of claim 1 wherein an arcuate radius stop collar and stop distal end accommodate an interchangeable diameter drill bit.

6. The single-piece snap-on on interchangeable dental surgical drilling stop device of claim 1 further comprising a distal end of the open drill stop cuff-like collar element is coupled to a stop neck having a stop and guide lip at the stop distal end for viewing a protruding drill bit to a metered depth bore.

7. The single-piece snap-on on interchangeable dental surgical stop device of claim 1 further comprising snap clip-on components for clipping on or attaching-detaching irrigation ducts, light optical fiber or camera optical fiber from a drill stop snap end to the drill stop distal end for providing fluid or light to the drill site.
