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).

Transfixed multiple dental prosthesis intended to be attached and fixed to a plurality of dental implants by several transfixing screws, each having a shank with a threaded portion intended to be received by screwing in a respective dental implant. Each transfixing screw is held captive in a respective bore formed in the transfixed multiple dental prosthesis and extending along a respective axial direction. Each transfixing screw is movable in rotation about the axial direction of the respective bore and is movable in translation along the axial direction of the respective bore between a retracted position and at least one screwing position. In the retracted position, the threading of the threaded portion of the transfixing screw does not protrude from the bore.

This invention is a new single piece dental prosthetic, a root section connected to the decorative crown section, becoming one part, with a bifurcated root for better anchoring and cleaning action, characterized by: Its simplicity makes it less expensive, and affordable by persons of limited means. Simpler, easier implementation than previous systems. This reliable system provides a new type of anchoring.

The present invention is a reliable system with several fastening systems.

It is also new way to make an implant less costly, and therefore more affordable by poor persons of low income status.

This is done by simplifying the above mentioned procedures, and using new method's such as bifurcation and circular ridge fastening.

A dental implant adapted for implanting within a jaw bone, the implant comprising a horizontally-oriented body having a length extending in the mesial-distal direction of the jaw bone, the body having a threaded cavity dimensioned for receiving a prosthetic abutment, and wherein the cavity comprises an opening that is located wholly within a buccolingual width of the body.

A partially customizable single-piece dental implant includes a preformed bone-anchorage component and an abutment component that is custom milled from a block either preoperatively, (i.e., Process A) or intraoperatively, (i.e., Process B). In Process A, the planned abutment shape is designed by a computer-aided design (CAD) software based on a computerized tomographic scan and other patient data. Alternatively, under Process B, the position of the planned implant with respect to the alveolus is digitally captured (e.g., by an optical impression device or an intraoperative computerized tomographic scan). In both Process A and Process B, a blank implant having the millable block is held to allow a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) machine to customize the abutment component, as well as part of the bone-anchorage component. The resultant dental implant is then inserted in the alveolus and either a provisional or permanent prosthesis can then be immediately loaded on the implant.

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing at least one bone anchor and a corresponding drilling template, wherein the bone anchor has an anchor plate which is to be fixed to the surface of a bone by means of one or several screws having a screw head. The anchor plate thus has a bone side which is to connect to the surface of the bone and a free side which is opposite to said bone side. Further, the invention concerns a method for manufacturing a drilling template making it possible to make bore holes in the bone at predetermined positions and to screw the bone anchor to said bone according to predetermined orientations.

A dental abutment, or a dental implant having an integrated abutment, in which the occlusal part of the abutment to which the dental prosthesis is to be cemented features a shoulder having a reverse margin. At the point where the shoulder meets the outer profile of the gingival part of the abutment, the shoulder is at an acute angle with respect to the longitudinal center axis of the abutment, thereby causing any cement ejected during mounting of the prosthesis to be ejected in a direction away from the gingiva.

Prosthetic element for bone extremities such as fingers or toes, or teeth, comprising a trabecular part (20, 40, 120) and two end parts or stumps (12, 34, 112; 15, 39, 115).

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.

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.
