Healing abutment system for configuring crown abutments at an implant site
An anatomical healing abutment is configured to connect to a dental implant. The healing abutment has a body portion which includes at least three reference marks that provide data to orient the connection axis of the abutment with the that of the dental implant so that certain conventional steps, including healing abutment manipulation, multiple scans, and the taking of impressions, can be eliminated, thereby saving time and effort on the part of the practitioner.
THREE-DIMENSIONAL STABILIZATION THREAD FORM FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS
An implant for insertion within a maxillofacial bone of a patient including a tapered body and one or more threads formed along the body. The one or more threads on one or more lead threads include multiple thread forms including both three-dimensional stabilization thread and standard thread (e.g. v-thread, buttress thread, etc.) forms. The one or more threads including the multiple thread forms provides for maximizing the restriction of lateral movement of the implant within a full or partial osteotomy.
DENTAL IMPLANTOLOGY USING SPHERICAL COMPONENTS
The present invention has the purpose of forming a new implantodontic system with spherical components, applied to implantology, particularly in fixed and mobile prostheses, aiming not to allow the accumulation of microorganisms that develop peri-implantitis and not compromising the osseointegration of the implant, produced in titanium metal and/or surgical stainless steel, which together form this new dental system with excellent locking and reduction in the retention of microorganisms, improving asepsis and making the development of infections extremely unlikely; consisting of implant (1) or spherical intermediates CM (10) or HE (14) or HI (17) and UCLA (8), bringing advantages of greater prosthesis angle from 0° to 45°, versatility, rigidity in the set, torque and resistance mechanics of the forces existing during chewing.
Fixture and a fixture set
A fixture for insertion into a bore hole arranged in bone tissue is provided. The fixture has a threaded leading portion provided with at least one cutting edge for creating a female thread in the bone tissue, and a threaded trailing portion following the leading portion in the created female thread. Compared to the geometry of a thread peak of said cutting edge of the leading portion, a thread peak of the trailing portion is displaced or overdimensioned in at least one of the coronal and apical directions of the fixture so that a strain is provided to the bone when said displaced or overdimensioned thread peak engages with the created female thread. A fixture set for creating a strain is also provided, the set includes a fixture and a separate thread maker.
BONE ANCHOR, KIT AND METHOD OF USE
An autograft forming bone anchor is provided including an elongated anchor core having a tip at a distal end and coupled to a head at a proximal end, and a segmented helical thread defining one or more gaps therein, each gap defining at least a trailing wall, the trailing wall having a cutting surface including at least one cutting edge. A plane of the cutting surface that extends through a point of contact of the cutting surface with the anchor core and the cutting edge, is angled at an angle (α) with respect to a radius (r) of the bone anchor, and the bone cutting surface and the cutting edge are configured to cut bone and guide bone fragments radially inwards. Other embodiments are also described.
ASYMMETRIC ZYGOMATIC DENTAL IMPLANT WITH PARTIAL MICRO THREAD/GROOVE
A zygomatic dental implant includes a generally cylindrical body, an interior threaded bore, and an asymmetrical external feature. The generally cylindrical body has a coronal portion and an apical portion. The generally cylindrical body has a main-central axis. The interior threaded bore is formed in the coronal portion of the generally cylindrical body for receiving a screw configured to removably hold an abutment in engagement with the zygomatic dental implant. The interior threaded bore has a bore-central axis. The asymmetrical external feature is on at least a portion of a first side of the generally cylindrical body such that the asymmetrical external feature is configured to directly engage alveolar bone of the patient. The asymmetrical external feature includes a plurality of circumferentially extending grooves.
IMPROVED SELF-TAPPING DENTAL IMPLANT
A dental implant includes an implant body extending along a longitudinal axis between a crown end and an apical end, the implant body having a core along which a helical thread extends with at least one thread, the core being tapered towards the apical end on at least one section of the length of the dental implant. At least two tapping grooves are arranged in the thread. The grooves interrupt the thread, so that the thread includes a series of consecutive thread arcs. Each thread arc has an apical surface oriented towards the apical end of the dental implant, and a crown surface oriented towards the crown end of the dental implant. A peripheral lateral surface connects the apical surface and the crown surface of the thread arc. In at least one section of the dental implant in which the core is tapered, at least one thread arc has a radial offset.
EXTERNAL DRIVE IMPLANTATION APPARATUS FOR BENDABLE COLLAR IMPLANTS AND METHOD
An external drive apparatus for bendable collar implants includes a male fastener and a female driver. The male fastener is constructed as a rigid and integral unity including an implant screw, a collar, and a male screw-top drive. The female driver supports a female screw-top drive. The female driver is configured for application of an implantation torque to the implant screw via the male screw-top drive which is disposed distally away from the collar.
Three-dimensional stabilization thread form for dental implants
An implant for insertion within a maxillofacial bone of a patient including a tapered body and one or more threads formed along the body. The one or more threads on one or more lead threads include multiple thread forms including both three-dimensional stabilization thread and standard thread (e.g. v-thread, buttress thread, etc.) forms. The one or more threads including the multiple thread forms provides for maximizing the restriction of lateral movement of the implant within a full or partial osteotomy.
SURGICAL CONNECTOR FOR DENTAL FIXTURE
A dental fixture operation connector is disclosed. The dental fixture operation connector may include a connector body portion, a connector head portion connected to the connector body portion and inserted into an insertion hole formed in an upper end area of a fixture, and an entrance guide portion provided in the connector head portion and guiding entrance of the connector head portion when the connector head portion is inserted into the insertion hole.
