Subperiosteal jaw implant
In a jaw implant for oral, subperiosteal placement over the alveolar ridge of the maxilla or of the mandible, the implant forms a body which in cross-section, in the condition in which it has been placed on the alveolar ridge transverse to the alveolar ridge, has been formed concave towards the alveolar ridge, wherein in or near a first portion forming the base of the body, in particular forming the base of the J, L or U, the body has been provided with one or more supporting areas for support members, such as pillars, for extending through the gingiva, the support members forming a support for an exo-prosthesis, wherein the supporting areas have been connected to the rest of the body via relatively weakened areas of the body, in particular have been connected to the rest of the body via those relatively weakened areas of the body only.
Subperiosteal dental implant device, subperiosteal securement kit and method for securing a subperiosteal dental implant device to an exposed jawbone
A subperiosteal securement kit is provided including a subperiosteal dental implant device and a drilling guide attachable thereto. The subperiosteal dental implant device has a frame engageable with the jawbone of a patient and a Fixation bore sized and shaped to receive therein a bone screw. The drilling guide has an elongated guiding channel sized shaped to receive a drill bit therein and is removably attachable to the frame of the subperiosteal dental implant device, with the guiding channel being in communication with the fixation bore when the drilling guide is attached to the frame of the subperiosteal dental implant device. A method subperiosteal dental implant device is provided to be secured to a jawbone of a patient and being engageable with a drilling guide having a threaded section.
IMPLANT UNIT
The present invention relates to an implant unit comprising: an artificial dental root including a plate portion having a first side surface and a second side surface extending along the horizontal extending direction of the alveolar bone and opposed to each other, and a base portion protruding from the first side surface at the upper end of the plate portion, penetrating through a surface of the alveolar bone, and being implanted into the alveolar bone; and at least more than one abutment formed on the upper end of the base portion.
BIONIC IMPLANTS AND MANUFACTURING METHODS THEREOF
The present invention relates to a customized or standardized bionic implant and its manufacturing, especially for dental applications. According to the first variant of the invention, the implant is characterized in that its single-component anchor possesses at least two bionic arms (2) tapering circumferentially, thereby creating at least one pointed (5) and/or linear (6) blade on each arm (2). According to the second variant of the implant, the single-component anchor possesses at least two bulging arms (2) forming at least one protrusion (4) on each of them. The manufacturing method depends on whether the implant is standardized, new and customized or is a modification of an implant selected from a digital library of standardized implants. In all of these cases, the physical form of the anchor is printed in a 3D printer. In the case of customized implants, the process begins with obtaining tomographic images of the biological target. In the case of designing a new implant, a panoramic curve/curves and panoramic surface are set and become the basis for the arms (2) of the implant's virtual anchor.
Method and system for transferring signals and materials between inside and outside body through oral cavity
This invention discloses a physical gateway that goes directly through gum or other soft tissues inside the oral cavity, to access inside body. The physical gateway has parts acting as external access points that have terminals for cables, wires, fiber optics, or tubes that go through said gateways to implanted medical systems and devices to facilitate transmission of signals or materials to or from said implanted systems or devices. This feature can be used for powering implanted systems and devices with high functionality and computation power, securely communicating with implanted systems and devices with vital duties, and transferring materials for refilling the tanks in implanted systems and devices or for transferring some material from inside body to outside without requiring invasive operations.
MANDIBULAR RECONSTRUCTION SYSTEMS AND METHODS
In general, one aspect disclosed features a method comprising: providing a bone section; attaching a cutting guide to the bone section; cutting the bone section into multiple bone graft sections using the cutting guide; arranging the multiple bone graft sections in a neo-mandible position; attaching a temporary fixation plate to the multiple bone graft sections after arranging the multiple bone graft sections in the neo-mandible position; removing the cutting guide from the multiple bone graft sections after attaching the temporary fixation plate; attaching a final fixation plate to the multiple bone graft sections after removing the cutting guide; and removing the temporary fixation plate from the multiple bone graft sections after attaching the final fixation plate to create a neo-mandible assembly.
Implant comprising a radially enlarged post on the support structure, soft tissue displacement system, manufacturing process and planning process for manufacturing an implant
The invention relates to an implant (1) comprising a support structure (5) which is prepared for anchoring, following the contours of the bone, in a jaw- and/or cranial bone (2), wherein at least one integrally attached post (7) protrudes from the support structure (5), said post being designed to have a finished denture anchored thereto and the post (7) having a base (9) that is formed out of the support structure (5) and is completed by a distal end region (10) with the interposition of a radially enlarged region (11). The invention also relates to a soft tissue displacement system (19) comprising an implant (1), a manufacturing process for a soft tissue displacement system (19) and a planning process for manufacturing an implant (1).
Method and system for generating a model of a subperiosteal dental implant device and customized implant head
A method for generating a virtual model of a subperiosteal dental implant device. The method comprises: obtaining a virtual mouth model of a patient providing a three-dimensional representation of at least a section of a jaw bone of a patient, using a non-invasive modelling method; positioning at least one replacement tooth in relation to the section of the jaw bone defined by the virtual mouth model; positioning at least one implant head at a respective implant position; and designing and generating a virtual model of the subperiosteal dental implant device having a shape at least partially derived from a shape of the section of the jaw bone defined by the virtual mouth model and at least a portion of each one of the at least one implant head extending from the subperiosteal dental implant device at the respective implant position.
Dental membrane
A dental membrane disposed in a deficient region of an alveolar bone to form a space for regeneration of the alveolar bone or to surround a bone graft, wherein the dental membrane is fixed by an insert inserted and fixed in the alveolar bone and a cover member combined to the insert, the dental membrane including: an upper portion surrounding a top surface of the deficient region of the alveolar bone; and a side bending portion bended downward from the upper portion and surrounding a side surface of the deficient region of the alveolar bone, wherein the upper portion includes: a combined portion combined to the insert and the cover member to be fixed; and a protruding portion extending and protruding upward from the combined portion.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING A MODEL OF A SUBPERIOSTEAL DENTAL IMPLANT DEVICE AND CUSTOMIZED IMPLANT HEAD
A method for generating a virtual model of a subperiosteal dental implant device. The method comprises: obtaining a virtual mouth model of a patient providing a three-dimensional representation of at least a section of a jaw bone of a patient, using a non-invasive modelling method; positioning at least one replacement tooth in relation to the section of the jaw bone defined by the virtual mouth model; positioning at least one implant head at a respective implant position; and designing and generating a virtual model of the subperiosteal dental implant device having a shape at least partially derived from a shape of the section of the jaw bone defined by the virtual mouth model and at least a portion of each one of the at least one implant head extending from the subperiosteal dental implant device at the respective implant position.
