Device for the positioning of dental implants, in particular pterygoid dental implants by using the structure of the maxillae and neighboring bone structures (os palatinum and os sphenoidale) to secure the device under the desired circumstances. It provides an improved tool for guiding a drilling instrument along a fixed trajectory under a fixed angle with respect to the upper jaw of a patient. The instrument is cheap and easy to use, as opposed to many of the instruments provided by the prior art, and safer to use than the use of a free-hand technique. The device allows for a method of positioning a drilling system, and for placing the implant that requires a minimally-invasive procedure for securing the device, while the instrument is easy to use and is much less expensive than common devices used for assisting these procedures. A kit for placing pterygoid dental implants.
