the implant drill bit 60 as also seen in fig6 a sensor 62 is positioned within sensor channels 26 and is moveably positioned from left to right by the finger tab portion 20 behind the dental arch 64 above the occlusal plane 66 into the correct position for taking an x ray of the drill bit with the drill bit in position the dental surgeon next takes an x ray and views it on a computer screen if the drill bit is positioned parallel to adjacent tooth structure the dental sensor positioning device is removed from the drill bit 60 and a second larger drill bit is used to enlarge the pre existing hole the process of taking an x ray may be repeated as many times as the surgeon desires to ensure that the hole into which the dental implant will be secured is parallel to adjacent tooth structure if the x ray shows that the initial drilling of the drill bit is not parallel then the sensor positioning device is removed and a second larger drill bit is used to drill through the pre existing hole to correct the path of the hole the sensor positioning device is then place on the drill bit with the drill removed and another x ray is taken to verify position the dental surgeon may repeat the process as many times as desired to verify that the drill bit is correctly positioned.
