A dental implant that facilitate insertion and can be used in all bone types. The implant includes a body having a coronal end, and an apical end opposite the coronal end. A tapered region may be adjacent the apical end. On the apical part one or more taps are provided so the tap is cutting when rotating, clockwise and counter-clockwise. The implant can have at least one variable profile helical thread that extends along the tapered region. The implant can have also micro-threads below the main threads, a gradual compressing tapered core, a self drilling apical end and a narrow coronal region.

A dental implant includes a body and a thread. The body has a central axis, a coronal end, and an apical end. The thread is coupled to the body. The thread has a coronal facing surface, an apical facing surface, and a crest surface positioned between the coronal facing surface and the apical facing surface. The coronal facing surface of the thread has a plurality of steps formed therein.

A dental implant that facilitate insertion and can be used in all bone types. The implant includes a body having a coronal end, and an apical end opposite the coronal end. A tapered region may be adjacent the apical end. On the apical part two or more taps are provided. The first tap is a condensing tap and the second tap is a cutting tap. The implant can have at least one variable profile helical thread that extends along the tapered region. The implant can have also micro-threads below the main threads, a gradual compressing tapered core, a self drilling apical end and a narrow coronal region.

Apparatus including a seal (100) is provided for use with a dental implant (200). The seal has a cross-section defining a high-load bearing portion (320) and a low-load bearing portion (340) angled in relation to each other, the high-load bearing portion being configured to apply a pressure that is greater than a pressure applied by the low-load bearing portion. A surface area of the high-load bearing portion is smaller than a surface area of the low-load bearing portion. Other applications are also described.

A sinus dental implant includes a main body, an external thread, and a plurality of spiral cutting flutes. The main body has opposite connection end and drilling end. The drilling end has a centered recess surrounded by a drilling zone and communicable with the spiral cutting flutes. The external thread and the spiral cutting flutes are extended in two different spiral directions. The drilling zone is divided by the spiral cutting flutes into a plurality of drilling segments, each of which has two sides located at different heights to thereby include a lower and an upper drilling portion. When the sinus dental implant is implanted into an alveolar hole to contact with a bottom thereof, the lower drilling portions at the drilling end cut the bottom of the alveolar hole slowly, so that the sinus dental implant can drill further in the alveolar hole instead of idling therein.

A lower region of a temporary abutment includes an anti-rotational feature for non-rotationally mating with a dental implant. An upper region of the temporary abutment includes a first anti-rotational structure and at least one retention groove. A top surface of the temporary abutment includes one or more informational markers that provide information concerning the dental implant. A temporary abutment cap is configured to be coupled to the upper region of the temporary abutment. The temporary abutment cap has at least one projection configured to mate with the at least one retention groove of the temporary abutment. The temporary abutment cap has a second anti-rotational structure that is configured to slidably engage the first anti-rotational structure of the temporary abutment. The temporary abutment cap is configured to be coupled with a temporary prosthesis such that the temporary prosthesis and the temporary abutment cap are removable from the temporary abutment.

An implant for insertion within a maxillofacial bone of a patient including a tapered body and one or more threads formed along the body. The one or more threads on one or more lead threads include multiple thread forms including both three-dimensional stabilization thread and standard thread (e.g. v-thread, buttress thread, etc.) forms. The one or more threads including the multiple thread forms provides for maximizing the restriction of lateral movement of the implant within a full or partial osteotomy.
