A dental implant device in the form of an interface member for forming an individually customized dental implant abutment mounted on a connection platform of a dental implant anchor adapted to be implanted, the interface member is a hollow tubular member featuring an internal lumen defined between a non-customizable distal portion and a customizable proximal portion.

In a shell for adapting a retention element to an anchoring element, and a method of forming a further retention element on an anchoring element including a shell, the shell has an internal cavity, the dimensions of which are matched to the external dimensions of the retention element and which is connectable to the retention element in an integral or form-fitting manner, and has an outer surface which is formed as a further retention element.

A customizable implant made of plastic including a thermoplastic which is reinforced with long fibers arranged multidirectionally in a targeted manner and has a modulus of elasticity E of 10-70 GPa is provided. A system for producing a customizable implant including a device for collecting patient data regarding the environment into which an implant is to be inserted, a computer program for creating a model for a customized implant based on the patient data collected, and a device for producing the customized implant based on the calculated model by means of 3D printing and/or laser sintering is also provided.

A bone cement includes a liquid component including a monomer configured to polymerize upon curing of the bone cement; and a solid component dispersed in the liquid component, the solid component including a powder of a polymer; an initiator; and a powder of a piezoelectric ceramic. A cell culture dish includes a base; and walls connected to the base to define an interior of the cell culture dish, wherein at least a portion of an interior surface of the base includes a piezoelectric material.

A dental attachment assembly is provided, including an abutment member and a male member. The abutment member may include an outer locating surface portion having at least two axially spaced retention portions having two generally rounded, annular projections. The male member for engagement over the outer locating surface of the abutment member may include an upper end and a continuous, unbroken skirt having a rounded, convex outer surface. The male member may be constructed from a rigid material and have at least two axially spaced, snap engaging formations on the inner surface of the skirt for snap engagement with the respective retention portions of the abutment member.

Disclosed is a tooth replacement forming device (10) comprising an abutment on or to which a dental structure made of dental material, especially ceramics, can be fastened. The abutment is mounted on the implant using a detachable connection, in particular a screw connection, the abutment being provided with an implant connection, a collar, and a tubular portion to be connected to the dental structure. The disclosed device (10) is characterized in that a surrounding auxiliary element made of a residue-free material is arranged in such a way as to rest against the tubular portion.

An implant suitable for being anchored with the aid of mechanical vibration in an opening provided in bone tissue. The implant is compressible in the direction of a compression axis under local enlargement of a distance between a peripheral implant surface and the compression axis. The implant includes a coupling-in face which serves for coupling a compressing force and the mechanical vibrations into the implant, which coupling-in face is not parallel to the compression axis. The implant also includes a thermoplastic material which, in areas of the local distance enlargement, forms at least a part of the peripheral surface of the implant.

The present invention is related to the dentistry field. More precisely, the present invention relates to a system for insertion into the root canal for obtaining a root fastening element to support crowns comprising a sleeve of flexible and moldable material, non-adherent to the walls of the root canal, wherein the sleeve comprises a root section and a crown section which are filled with fibers in different arrangements. In addition, the present invention is related to a method for obtaining a fastening element using the system and root fastening element to support crowns.

Dental attachment assemblies for a mouth of a patient are provided. Contemplated dental attachment assemblies may include an abutment member, and a retention member for attachment to the abutment member. The retention member may comprise an upper end and a continuous, unbroken skirt projecting from the upper end for fixed, non-patient removable, fixed engagement over an outer locating surface of the abutment member. The retention member can be constructed from a rigid material, such as PEEK, such that it provides a retentive force of about 10 to 75 pounds. The abutment member may be configured for attachment to an implant having an upper portion including a threaded portion configured to screw into a threaded recess of an abutment, and a lower portion including an angled platform and a threaded post extending from the platform.

A system for dental restorations may comprise an abutment comprising an implant engaging portion and a component supporting portion terminating in a coronal end of the abutment. The implant engaging portion may extend apically from the component supporting portion and may have an external surface feature configured to be received in mating engagement within an opening in a dental implant. The component supporting portion may comprise at least one first snap-fit retention feature disposed on an outer peripheral surface of the component supporting portion. The system may further comprise a temporary coping made from a material that permits chemical bonding of the temporary coping with a veneering material of a temporary tooth restoration. The temporary coping may comprise at least one second snap-fit retention feature configured for snap-fit engagement with the at least one first snap-fit retention feature of the abutment.
