A polymerisable dental composite material comprising (i) 70 to 85% by weight of an inorganic filler component comprising at least one dental glass and optionally at least one amorphous metal oxide, (ii) 10 to 30% by weight of a mixture of at least two different urethane(meth)acrylates, (iii) 0.01 to 5% by weight of at least one di-, tri-, tetra- or multi-functional monomer not being a urethane(meth)acrylate, (iv) 0.01 to 10% by weight of at least one initiator, of an initiator system and optionally of at least one stabilizer and optionally of at least one pigment, wherein the total composition of the composite material amounts to 100% by weight, as well as a polymerized composite material having a flexural strength of greater than or equal to 200 MPa and an elastic modulus of 15 to 20 GPa for the production of indirect dentures.

The present invention enables modification of an intraosseous implant device that is not only biologically non-inert, but can stimulate bone and vascular growth; decrease localized inflammation; and fight local infections. The method of the present invention provides a fiber with any of the following modifications: (1) Nanofiber with PDGF, (2) Nanofiber with PDGF+BMP2, and (3) Nanofiber with BMP2 and Ag. Nanofiber can be modified with other growth factors that have been shown to improve bone growth and maturation—BMP and PDGF being the most common. Nanofiber can be applied on the surface of the implant in several ways. First, a spiral micro-notching can be applied on the implant in the same direction as the threads with the nanofibers embedded into the notches. Second, the entire surface of the implant may be coated with a mesh of nanofibers. Third, it can be a combination of both embedding and notching.

A dental restoration device includes a sleeve having an exterior surface and an interior pocket that is at least partially filled with a dental cement, and a crown having an exterior surface and an interior surface that is mated to the exterior surface of the crown and bonded thereto by an adhesive disposed between the exterior surface of the sleeve and the interior surface of the crown.

A dental prosthesis system, for the use with at least two dental implants, wherein the dental prosthesis is divided in a first prosthetic part and a second prosthetic part, jointed by a prosthetic screw, and wherein the first prosthetic part is connected to the dental implants through at least two connectors, and such dental prosthesis has an engaging and guidance system, including two female elements, disposed on the top of the first prosthetic part, and two corresponding male elements, disposed on the bottom of the second prosthetic part, whereby the connection between the two female elements and the two male elements is releasable. The problems solved in the prior art are related to a bending moment derived from masticatory forces. The solution comprises installing a mechanical weakness in the prosthesis to protect the bone tissue.

A fixed hybrid dental attachment assembly is provided. The fixed hybrid dental attachment assembly includes an abutment member, a male member, and a cap. The abutment member has an outer locating surface portion projecting downwardly from an upper end. The male member for attachment to the abutment member has an upper end for engagement within a cap in a recess in a dental appliance, and a continuous, unbroken skirt projecting from the upper end of the male member for engagement over the outer locating surface of the abutment member. The skirt may have a rounded, convex outer surface, and the male member may be constructed from a PEEK material.

The present invention generally relates to osseointegrated implants. In particular, embodiments of the present invention relate to extraosseous implants, for example, supra crestal implants, that are configured to substantially continuously cover the 3D topography of a top and a lateral surface of a bone, for example, a crestal and a lateral surface of the jaw. For example, the implants may be used on partially or completely edentulous jaws. Also, embodiments of the present invention relate to such implants made from biocompatible material of suitable porosity and elastic modulus. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention relate to improved implants suitable for implantation to bone deficient in quantity or quality, such as severely resorbed jaw bone. Further embodiments relate to a unique composite material comprising PEEK, bioglass and PMMA, and formed using triacrylate.

A dental restoration device includes a sleeve having an exterior surface and an interior pocket that is at least partially filled with a dental cement, and a crown having an exterior surface and an interior surface that is mated to the exterior surface of the crown and bonded thereto by an adhesive disposed between the exterior surface of the sleeve and the interior surface of the crown.

A ceramic dental prosthesis including an implant for osseointegration in a jaw bone with a receiving opening and an abutment having a through-hole for receiving a bolt. The bolt is produced from a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic and connects the abutment and the implant. The dental prosthesis system includes an anti-rotation feature formed by a first interlocking means arranged on a proximal end of the abutment and a second interlocking means arranged on a distal end of the implant. The first interlocking means engages in the second interlocking means, wherein the first and second interlocking means are arranged at a distance from one another such that the abutment can be tilted relative to the implant. The bolt runs in the through-hole of the abutment and the receiving opening. An interference fit is provided between the bolt and the receiving opening of the implant.

An implant abutment is disclosed. An implant abutment for connecting a fixture and an artificial prosthesis, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises: an abutment lower part coupled to the fixture; an abutment upper part coupled to the artificial prosthesis, wherein the abutment lower part and the abutment upper part are integrally formed or separately coupled; and a small-movement part, which is interposed between the abutment upper part and the abutment lower part or disposed on a portion or all of the abutment upper part.
