In various embodiments of the presently disclosed technology, a neo-mandible is provided. The neo-mandible may comprise: (1) a first bone graft; (2) a second bone graft abutting the first bone graft to form a triangular recess between the first and second bone grafts; and (3) a triangular plate attached to the first and second bone grafts, wherein the triangular plate is nested within the triangular recess between the first and second bone grafts such that the triangular plate does not protrude outside the triangular recess.

Dental device (1) for ridge preservation around the socket (2) of an extracted tooth and for promoting jaw bone regeneration inside the socket (2) of the extracted tooth, the dental device (1) comprising: a screw (3) which is entirely made of a biodegradable material to eliminate the need for a removal surgery, wherein the screw (3) is adapted for tight fixation within the jaw bone (4) in the socket (2) to prevent micromovements during bone-tissue regeneration, wherein the screw (2) has a length such that its top is, in the inserted state, flush with the alveolar ridge (5) around the socket (2) to promote full bone regeneration inside the socket (2), and wherein the screw (3) has a hollow (6) and pores (7), wherein the diameters of the pore (7) is substantially equal to or larger than 20 micrometers.

Systems and methods for mandibular reconstruction are provided. An example neo-mandible assembly may comprise: (1) a first bone graft section; (2) a second bone graft section; (3) a tensioning plate; (4) a first dental implant that secures the first bone graft section to the tensioning plate; and (5) a second dental implant that secures the second bone graft section to the tensioning plate. The tensioning plate may hold the first bone graft section and the second bone graft section in fixed positions relative to each other. The first dental implant may comprise: (a) a dental screw that extends through an aperture of the tensioning plate and into the first bone graft section to secure the tensioning plate to the first bone graft section; and (b) a snap abutment attached to a head of the dental screw, wherein the snap abutment is configured to receive a dental implant.

Systems and methods for mandibular reconstruction are provided. An example system may comprise a drilling guide comprising: (1) a body configured to register against two adjacent surfaces of a native mandible when the body is temporarily secured to the native mandible; and (2) a tube extending from the body. The tube may be configured to constrain orientation of a drill bit when inserted through the tube and into the native mandible to reduce off-axis tilt of the drill bit when forming a void in the native mandible. Size and orientation of the void may correspond with size and orientation of a phalange of a neo-mandible assembly to be received within the void.

The present disclosure relates to a method of manufacture of a dental implant for a molar, including acquiring, structural data corresponding to bones of the facial skeleton, the bones of the facial skeleton being proximate the molar, selecting, as a dental implant fixation surface, a surface of the bones based upon a determined thickness of the bones, generating, based on the selected dental implant fixation surface, a contoured surface of the dental implant, and fabricating, based upon an instruction transmitted by processing circuitry, a bone plate extending from a buccal end of a cylindrical plate of the dental implant, the cylindrical plate having support lattices extending therefrom, at least one support lattice of the support lattices being arranged on a lingual end of the cylindrical plate, the cylindrical plate having an opening in a central region thereof, the opening being configured to receive a dental post.
