The invention relates to an implant (10) for anchoring in the human or animal maxilla or mandible, a device (100) (an instrument) for bending an implant, a system, which includes an implant (10) and a device (100) for bending an implant, and a method for bending an implant. As a result of the bending geometry, an implant (10) is provided which is bendable in a simple and materially-careful manner, in particular after implantation, i.e., already anchored in the jaw bone. The device (100) for bending the implant (10) enables, due to the pliers-shaped design having corresponding holding (113) and support (123) units, the bending of the implant in a simple manner, in particular the bending after implantation thereof, so that a treatment which protects the implantation region is ensured, in particular, no damage of the bone bed is induced. In addition, a method for bending the implant (10) is provided.

A root portion of a root-analog dental implant may include a core positioned in an approximate center of the root portion of the dental implant. The core may provide mechanical strength and/or support for the dental implant and may include one or more struts. The root-analog dental implant may further include a porous surface positioned on a portion of a vertically oriented exterior surface of the core. The struts may be configured and arranged to provide mechanical strength and/or support for the root-analog dental implant.

A dental implant that facilitates insertion includes a body having a coronal end and an apical end opposite the coronal end. An implant-prosthetic interface region is provided adjacent the coronal end. A tapered region is adjacent the apical end. A variable profile helical thread extends along the tapered region. The thread becomes broader in the apical-coronal direction and higher in the coronal-apical direction. The threads include an apical side, a coronal side and a lateral edge connecting them. The variable profile thread includes an expanding length of the lateral edge while the distance of the lateral edge from the base is reduced in the direction of the coronal end. The implant also has a gradual compressing tapered core, a self drilling apical end with a spiral tap, and a coronal end with and inverse tapering.

Methods of manufacturing dental prosthesis/implants each to replace a non-functional natural tooth positioned in a jawbone of a specific pre-identified patient are provided. An example method includes the steps of receiving imaging data such as x-ray image data and surface scan data of a dental anatomy and/or a physical impression of the dental anatomy of a specific preidentified patient. The steps can also include forming a three-dimensional virtual model of at least portions of a non-functional natural tooth positioned in the jawbone of the specific pre-identified patient based on the imaging and surface scan data, virtually designing a dental implant based upon the virtual model, exporting the data describing the designed dental implant to a manufacturing machine, and custom manufacturing the dental implant for the specific patient.

An implant system and a method of forming the implant system including an implant to be implanted into living bone. The implant includes titanium. The implant includes a first surface geometry on a first portion of a surface of the implant and a second surface geometry on a second portion of the surface of the implant. The first surface geometry includes at least a submicron topography including tube-like structures and the second surface geometry includes a first micro-scale topography, a second micro-scale topography superimposed on the first topography, and a submicron topography superimposed on the first and second micro-scale topographies, the submicron topography including the tube-like structures.

A disposition introduced in dental implant pin to improve and speed healing of the area after insertion of the implant pin. To this end, a pin (P) containing improvements has a central diametral reduction section (6) of diametrical reduction provided with thread fillets (7), forming a space between the bone mass (M) which will allow blood clot accumulation and natural secretions of the patient's body responsible for the prompt restoration and healing of the injured region in a considerably reduced time, besides the creation of intra-implant bone rings, offering greater support to the pin body (P), providing better dissipation of the pressure exerted during mastication .

The present invention relates to a prosthetic assembly (1, 10, 100) comprising a prosthetic component (2, 20, 200) and a retention screw (6, 60, 600) with an interference geometry (5, 50, 500) designed to allow relative rotation, limit relative longitudinal motion and inseparably join the prosthetic component (2, 20, 200) and the retention screw (6, 60, 600). The interference geometry (5, 50, 500) can be in the form of a ring attached to the retention screw (6) in a portion of the body of this screw (6) having a smaller diameter, or in the form of one or more inwardly folded flaps integrated in the prosthetic component (20) and diametrically distributed around the base thereof, or in the form of a uniform, tapered and hollow projection of the lower portion of the prosthetic element (200). The invention further relates to a method for producing the disclosed prosthetic assembly (1, 10, 100), including the following steps: forming a prosthetic component (2, 20, 200) having a central hole (8, 80) for receiving the retention screw (6, 60, 600), forming a retention screw (6, 60, 600), the body of which has a portion having a smaller diameter (62, 602), inserting the retention screw (6, 60, 600) into the central hole (8, 80) of the prosthetic component (2, 20, 200), and forming an interference geometry (5, 50, 500) between the base of the prosthetic component (2, 20, 200) and the body of the retention screw (6, 60, 600).

A dental implant is disclosed comprising an anchoring part for anchoring within a bone and comprising a mounting part for receiving a prosthetic build-up construction, wherein the anchoring part and the mounting part are configured integrally of a material comprising zirconia, wherein at least the anchoring part is treated at its outer surface at least partially by a subtractive, removing process, such as by sand blasting or is provided with a coating which facilitates an ossification.

Embodiments of the present invention provide an osseointegrative implant and related tools, components and fabrication techniques for surgical bone fixation and dental restoration purposes. In one embodiment an all-ceramic single-stage threaded or press-fit implant is provided having finely detailed surface features formed by ceramic injection molding and/or spark plasma sintering of a powder compact or green body comprising finely powdered zirconia. In another embodiment a two-stage threaded implant is provided having an exterior shell or body formed substantially entirely of ceramic and/or CNT-reinforced ceramic composite material. The implant may include one or more frictionally anisotropic bone-engaging surfaces. In another embodiment a densely sintered ceramic implant is provided wherein, prior to sintering, the porous debound green body is exposed to ions and/or particles of silver, gold, titanium, zirconia, YSZ, ?-tricalcium phosphate, hydroxyapatite, carbon, carbon nanotubes, and/or other particles which remain lodged in the implant surface after sintering. Optionally, at least the supragingival portions of an all-ceramic implant are configured to have high translucence in the visible light range. Optionally, at least the bone-engaging portions of an all-ceramic implant are coated with a fused layer of titanium oxide.
