The present invention relates to a dental implant fixture for implanting a correction tooth as a dental implant into alveolar bone. Particularly, the dental implant fixture has self-vertical drilling, self-horizontal drilling, self-cutting, self-condensing, and self-direction changing functions. The dental implant fixture can increase primary stability and penetration performance, has good ability to correct implantation errors, and can minimize the need for drilling that increases the probability of error or failure.

An endosseous dental implant assembly includes a dental implant including an abutment portion for connecting to a tooth crown and a hollow base portion defining a cavity therein, and a bio-supportive or biodegradable scaffold carried by the hollow base portion of the dental implant in the biomimetic approach. The abutment portion is formed integrally with the hollow base portion. The scaffold is impregnated with regenerative stem cells, growth factors, biomorphic proteins, or autogenous cells. In the osseointegrated approach bone graft material can be carried to the extraction socket without a scaffold.

Implants for anchoring within bone are provided herein. An implant may include at least one thread extending around a core in a plurality of turns from the coronal region to the apical region. The thread(s) has a thread outer diameter that may define a cylindrical portion, wherein the thread outer diameter remains constant for more than one turn around the core, and define a conical portion, wherein the thread outer diameter decreases at a thread diameter decrease rate in the apical direction. The thread(s) may have a plurality of notches spaced radially and longitudinally from one another. The notches may be partially notched to reflect a portion of a semi-spherical surface and partially notched to reflect a portion of a semi-cylindrical surface.

A dental implant device for insertion into a bore defined in bone for use with a prosthetic tooth or dental appliance includes an abutment with a plurality of male keys disposed about the distal end of the abutment capable of being affixed to the prosthetic tooth or dental appliance, an implantable anchor having a proximal and distal end, a plurality of female keyways defined into the proximal end of the anchor, the keyways capable of coupling to the male keys of the abutment and thereby preventing relative rotation of the abutment and anchor; an interlocking thread helically defined around a longitudinal axis of the anchor, the thread being adapted to couple to the bore defined in the bone and means for coupling the abutment to the implant anchor.

Custom dental prosthesis or implants each individually designed and manufactured to replace nonfunctional natural teeth positioned in a jawbone of a specific pre-identified patient are provided. An example dental prosthesis/implant includes a dental implant body having a prosthesis interface formed therein to receive an occlusally-facing dental prosthesis component. The prosthesis interface has a custom three-dimensional surface shape positioned and formed to create a form locking fit with respect to the occlusally-facing dental prosthesis component when positioned thereon.

The present invention relates to an endosseous implant assembly adapted for treatment of peri-implantitis. The implant assembly comprises an implant core body configured to receive and couple with implant insert structures that potentially facilitate treatment of peri-implantitis.

A system for attaching a natural tooth to a dental implant includes a dental prosthesis and an elastomeric cushion. The elastomeric cushion is positioned in contact, either directly or indirectly, with at least a portion of the dental implant and at least a portion of the dental prosthesis such that the elastomeric cushion permits movement of the dental prosthesis relative to the dental implant in response to movement of the natural tooth transferred through the dental prosthesis.

An artificial teethridge has an arched top and an arched bottom. The top and the bottom of the artificial teethridge are curved toward the same direction. The thickness of the artificial teethridge is relatively thicker at central part and gradually becomes thinner toward two lateral sides. A fang is formed integrally on the top of the artificial teethridge. The artificial teethridge, the fang and a prosthesis are an integral structure, whereby the artificial teethridge, the fang and the prosthesis form a mechanical conduction structure. The bottom surface of the artificial teethridge has a complementary structure which can be tightly matched and fixed on each point of the top surface of the alveolar bone without any gap. A dental neck is formed integrally between the artificial teethridge and prosthesis, which is formed in a waisted shape that is narrower at middle section and gradually becomes wider toward to two terminal sections.
