Molds for fabrication of custom and potentially modifiable abutments and impression posts for dental implants with various degrees of angulations (including zero degrees) and various dimensions are provided, with a generally oval shape that expands laterally upwards, a symmetrical or asymmetrical cross-section, and regular surfaces, that are fabricated as one piece, or as two coupling pieces snapping onto each other. Custom abutments achieve the development of a custom gingival emergence profile, three dimensionally, which is potentially modifiable according to the needs of each particular clinical case. Custom impression posts that correspond in dimensions and angulations to the abutments allow the accurate recording and transfer of the developed gingival emergence profile from the mouth onto the working cast, where the final implant prosthesis is fabricated. Custom abutments and impression posts have properties and design that allows their preparation and usage as temporary abutments for the cementation and support of temporary prostheses.

Disclosed is a denture tray for visual marking and a manufacturing method thereof. The method comprises: establishing a three-dimensional model of a target dentition of a target patient; obtaining a three-dimensional model of a substrate of a denture tray based on the three-dimensional model of the target dentition; providing a through hole at a preset position on the three-dimensional model of the substrate of the denture tray; establishing a three-dimensional model of a fixed connection portion on an outer side surface of the three-dimensional model of the substrate of the denture tray to form a three-dimensional model of the denture tray, wherein the three-dimensional model of the fixed connection portion is integrally connected with the three-dimensional model of the substrate of the denture tray; and manufacturing the denture tray based on the three-dimensional model of the denture tray.

Methods of selecting or designing an implant to be used in a patient are provided. A CT scan of a patient's mouth is performed. A 3D CAD model of the patient's mouth is created utilizing data generated by the CT scan. Properties of the patient's mouth are determined based upon CT scan data and assigned to the 3D CAD model. A desired location for an implant is selected. A FEA simulation is performed on the 3D CAD model to choose an implant or to design an implant that optimizes a selected variable.

According to one example, a medical tray for a surgical procedure is disclosed. The medical tray can optionally comprise: a housing; and one or more tray inserts configured to be received within the housing and having a first major surface and one or more support. The one or more tray inserts are configured to receive a plurality of dental surgical instruments via a plurality of receptacles formed therein. The plurality of receptacles having corresponding openings in the first major surface. The one or more tray inserts configured to be at least one of: removable from the housing and configured with the one or more supports so as to be positionable exterior to and independent of the housing, or the plurality of receptacles are angled such that the dental surgical instruments when received therein are positioned at an acute angle relative to the first major surface.

The present disclosure a manufacture method of axial direction and depth checking guide plate for implanting, comprises the following steps: S1: obtaining dentition data by an optical scanner, obtaining a preoperative model; virtually arranging the teeth to obtain a virtual waxing; taking Cone Beam Computed Tomography to obtain the jaw data; S2: determining the type and specification of implant, adjusting the three-dimensional position of the implant; S3: customizing an abutment, and obtaining the abutment data and model data after fitting of the dentition data and the jaw data; S4: constructing abutment cylindrical features, deviating to the labial/buccal side and lingual/palatal side respectively, and constructing the offset cylindrical features again; S5: creating the indicator rod, and fitting with the labial/buccal and lingual/palatal prototype separately to obtain the definitive indicator rod data; S6: designing an occlusal plate and connecting with the indicator rod, completing design of the guide plate, and 3D printing.

A plate (30 or 40) used for installing a prefabricated prosthesis (62) on to free-hand installed implants (52) includes a plastic structure (30 or 40) shaped and configured to mate with an arch (10), a plurality of perforations in the plastic structure, and a plurality of removable panels (32 or 42) corresponding to the plurality of perforations. The plurality of removable panels are designed and configured for removal in locations corresponding to locations of the free-hand installed implants and further configured to deliver the prosthesis on to the implants using the plastic plate.

A dental implant for insertion into bone within a patient's mouth comprises a body and a scannable code. The body includes a bone-engaging exterior surface, an anti-rotational feature for non-rotationally mating with an abutment, and an upper region. The upper region includes an upper surface for engaging the abutment. The scannable code on the upper surface provides information concerning the dental implant. The information includes at least two features of the dental implant.

A dental implant surgical guide and manufacturing method thereof are provided. The dental implant surgical guide comprises a retainer, a guide portion, and an indicator. Said guide portion is located on either the tongue side or the palatal side of a patient, and comprises a guiding groove corresponding to an implant hole and an opening being connected to the guiding groove; said indicator comprises an extension portion and a terminal, wherein the extension portion is extended from the retainer to an implant platform of a missing tooth portion, while the terminal indicates a location of the implant platform. Therefore, locations of the implant platform and the implant hole of the missing tooth portion will be positioned by the dental implant surgical guide when placing the dental implant surgical guide on the missing tooth portion.

A system for dental implant restoration is provided. It includes universal aligning adaptors and prosthetic components having co-operable indices, which together form a translational, integrating system which aligns, synchronizes, and references the prosthetic components about an implant's central axis of rotation. Rotation of an adaptor about a prosthetic component, with its reference point becoming aligned to a predetermined reference point on the prosthetic component, followed by the rotation of the adaptor/prosthetic component assembly about the implant, situates the prosthetic component in a predetermined position such that all other prosthetic components become synchronized to the adaptor's reference point. The prosthetic component is mechanical for clinical or lab bench use, or is virtual for restoration design in a software program, prior to milling prosthetic abutments or devices. Abutments, healing caps and screw access holes are realigned to preferred positions and synchronized with minimal deviation from the ideal direction.

A dental implant evaluation unit is disclosed and described. The dental implant evaluation includes a body portion having threads that mimic the general thread pattern of an actual dental implant, without attempting to copy any of the osseointegrative features of the actual implant. A threaded collar is associated with the body portion, and, in certain embodiments, a safety flange is screwed to the threaded collar. The safety flange prevents the dental implant evaluation unit from infiltrating the sinus of a patient when testing the fit of a maxillary implant. The dental implant evaluation unit can be used by a dentist to evaluate the proper size and fit for an actual dental implant by installing the dental implant evaluation unit, and imaging the same, prior to installing the actual dental implant.
