A dental anchor that is easily planted into a target space created by a lost tooth is presented. The dental anchor has a root portion made to extend into and contact bone tissue and a trunk portion directly attached to the root portion and disposed above gumline. A dental anchor planting apparatus that facilitates the precise planting of the dental anchor is also presented. The apparatus includes a main support and a chinrest, an impression tray, a dental anchor, and a nose bridge support all connected to the main support. The dental anchor of the disclosure may be used instead of a traditional dental implant to shorten procedure time and lower risks of infection and bone damage.

A dental implant that facilitate insertion and can be used in all bone types. The implant includes a body having a coronal end, and an apical end opposite the coronal end. A tapered region may be adjacent the apical end. On the apical part one or more taps are provided so the tap is cutting when rotating, clockwise and counter-clockwise. The implant can have at least one variable profile helical thread that extends along the tapered region. The implant can have also micro-threads below the main threads, a gradual compressing tapered core, a self drilling apical end and a narrow coronal region.

Dental implant comprising an implant body having on an outer side an external thread for fastening the dental implant to a jaw bone and having an opening extending along a longitudinal axis of the dental implant. The opening comprises an internal thread for fastening a superstructure to the dental implant. The implant body further comprises an interface for fastening the superstructure to the dental implant, which interface is arranged at a front end of the implant body. The dental implant further comprises an anti-rotation element which is configured to prevent rotation of the superstructure around the longitudinal axis relative to the dental implant, wherein the anti-rotation element is configured as a component separate from the implant body, which is attached to the implant body in an area of the interface.

A human implant includes at least one osteoconductive scaffold and at least one main carrier. The at least one osteoconductive scaffold is made of a metal material, is manufactured by 3D printing, and has at least one connecting portion, at least one separation element, and a proliferation portion. The at least one connecting portion is porous. The at least one separation element is disposed on one of two sides of the at least one connecting portion. The proliferation portion is disposed on one of two sides of the at least one separation element away from the at least one connecting portion, wherein osteoblasts proliferate in the proliferation portion. The at least one main carrier is made of a medical macromolecular material and is mounted to the at least one connecting portion being porous, such that the at least one main carrier is mounted to the at least one osteoconductive scaffold.

A dental implant includes a body and a thread. The body has a central axis, a coronal end, and an apical end. The thread is coupled to the body. The thread has a coronal facing surface, an apical facing surface, and a crest surface positioned between the coronal facing surface and the apical facing surface. The coronal facing surface of the thread has a plurality of steps formed therein.

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 implant that facilitate insertion and can be used in all bone types. The implant includes a body having a coronal end, and an apical end opposite the coronal end. A tapered region may be adjacent the apical end. On the apical part two or more taps are provided. The first tap is a condensing tap and the second tap is a cutting tap. The implant can have at least one variable profile helical thread that extends along the tapered region. The implant can have also micro-threads below the main threads, a gradual compressing tapered core, a self drilling apical end and a narrow coronal region.

A dental implant includes a threaded portion extending along a central longitudinal axis from an apical end to a coronal end. The threaded portion includes a core from which threading extends radially outwards, the threading including an apical flank, a coronal flank and a lateral surface connecting the apical and coronal flanks, the lateral surface defining the radially outermost surface of the threading. The threading extends along the length of the threaded portion in a helical manner and the thread width narrowing in the radially outwards direction such that the threading is widest where it contacts the core and narrows towards the lateral surface. The core diameter of the threaded portion is defined by the outer diameter of the core and the outer diameter of the threaded portion is defined by the lateral surface of the threading.

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.
