A method for a making a dental prosthesis for a patient. The method comprises acquiring a first 3D x-ray image of the patient’s jaw while in pre-procedure jaw position. The dental implant procedure is performed to install implant fixtures on the patient’s jaw. After the procedure, a second 3D x-ray image of the patient’s jaw is acquired. Bony landmarks are selected on the 3D x-ray images for registration and alignment of the two image datasets. This results in a composite jaw structure model. The method further comprises performing dental photogrammetry to create a 3D photogrammetric rendering of the implant abutments. The method further comprises performing intraoral scanning of the patient’s mouth with an intraoral scanning probe to create an intraoral topographic impression. The 3D photogrammetric rendering, the intraoral topographic impression, and the composite jaw structure model are combined to create an integrated 3D model of the patient’s mouth and jaw.

Provided is a method for manufacturing a surgical guide, and a crown and an abutment in a mouth for a dental implant, including an operation of obtaining a primarily scanned image through scanning of inner and outer surfaces of a denture which has a first image matching groove matched with a patient's tooth implanting portion and in which a plurality of reference markers are attached to an outside, obtaining a secondarily scanned image through oral scanning of upper and lower jaws while the denture is installed, preliminarily matching the secondarily scanned image with the primarily scanned image, obtaining an integrated scanned image considering a vertical dimension by reversing the first image matching groove so that an image of the first image matching groove is dimensionalized from the primarily scanned image, and obtaining a CT image through CT scanning of the upper and lower jaws.

The present disclosure concerns a set for the production by 3D printing of implant abutments for dental implants, the set including at least one abutment having an elongated base member with an axis, and at least one positioning element fixed to the base member; a plate with at least one recess and a locking portion; where the recess is larger than the elongated base member and where the locking portion is configured to be in a form fit connection with the positioning element in order to vertically position the abutment, and lock the abutment in rotation around its axis.

A method for making a ceramic body comprised of a ceramic material having an inhibitory effect on bacterial growth is provided. A dental prosthesis may be made of a ceramic material that comprises a molybdenum-containing component on a portion of the prosthesis that contacts the gingival surface of a patient. In one method, a porous zirconia ceramic structure is shaped in the form of a dental prosthesis, and then infiltrated with a molybdenum-containing composition, before sintering to densify the ceramic structure.

A narrow diameter dental implant with multi-unit abutment is surgically inserted for osseointegration into the jawbone of a patient, in order to attach a crown or tooth prosthetic. The dental implant includes an implant shaft, a threading extrusion, and an attachment abutment. The implant shaft is inserted within the jawbone during osseointegration surgery. The threading extrusion is connected along the implant shaft in order to secure the dental implant within the jawbone. The attachment abutment is connected to the implant shaft, such that the attachment abutment extrudes out from the patient's gum. Therefore, the attachment abutment is accessible for the dentist to attach a crown or tooth prosthetic.

A screw type dental implant system (1), having a dental implant fixture (2), a multifunctional component (3) and an abutment screw (4). The screw shape dental implant fixture has an external surface having buttress threads on the body and micro threads at the collar. This combination provides the advantages of: improved biomechanics at the implant abutment interface, self-tapping nature to the implant, and minimizing the stresses at the crest of the bone leading to decrease resorption of crestal bone. The multifunctional component serves the purposes of implant mount, impression analog and final abutment and has a single prosthetic platform so one component is compatible with different implant dimensions, which minimizes the inventory needed for the implant system and allows easy handling of the system. The multifunctional component also has an external concave transmucosal portion for enhancing the emergence profile and internal threads for securing the abutment screw.

Disclosed is a tooth replacement forming device (10) comprising an abutment on or to which a dental structure made of dental material, especially ceramics, can be fastened. The abutment is mounted on the implant using a detachable connection, in particular a screw connection, the abutment being provided with an implant connection, a collar, and a tubular portion to be connected to the dental structure. The disclosed device (10) is characterized in that a surrounding auxiliary element made of a residue-free material is arranged in such a way as to rest against the tubular portion.

The present invention relates to a connection between a post part provided for being screwed into the jawbone and an associated superstructure part to which a dental prosthesis can be fastened. The connection between the post part and the superstructure part has a rotational self-centering action, wherein at least one of the surfaces provided for this purpose has a friction-minimizing modification and/or coating.

Integrated support devices for providing temporary primary stability to a dental prosthesis implant, each individually designed and manufactured for a specific pre-identify patient are also provided. An integrated support device can include a prosthesis interface member configured to connect to an abutment or reduced sized portion of a dental prosthesis/implant. The integrated support device also includes one or more bonding wings for connecting to the adjacent healthy teeth.

A denture is registered and secured to implants with the help of paired surgical-prosthetic implants fabricated based on 3D imaging of the patient's mouth and the denture. The surgical template has guide holes that are located and oriented to guide dental instrumentation forming accurately located and oriented osteotomies for the implants. The prosthetic template conforms to the denture and has guide holes that are located and oriented such that connection holes in the denture can be formed through the guide holes in the paired prosthetic template. The connection holes clear the replacement teeth of the denture and line up with the implants. Attachment elements can be inserted through the connection holes in the denture to secure the denture to the implants.
