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 system including an implant and an abutment is disclosed. The implant includes a generally cylindrical body, a central axis, a distal end for anchoring in a patient's bone and a proximal end opposing the distal end. The proximal end includes a roughened lateralized surface that surrounds an abutment-engaging region. The lateralized surface is disposed at a negative slope relative to the central axis. The abutment includes an upper portion for supporting a tooth-like prosthesis and a lower portion for engaging the abutment-engaging region of the dental implant. The diameter of the lower portion of the abutment is smaller than the diameter of the implant at its proximal end. The lower portion includes a first surface with a soft-tissue enhancing material. The first surface and the lateralized surface defining a circumferentially extending recess having a V-shaped cross-section for receiving and attachment to the soft tissue.

A dental implant includes a threaded portion extending along a central longitudinal axis from an apical end to a coronal end. The threaded portion includes a core from which threading extends radially outwards, the threading including an apical flank, a coronal flank and a lateral surface connecting the apical and coronal flanks, the lateral surface defining the radially outermost surface of the threading. The threading extends along the length of the threaded portion in a helical manner and the thread width narrowing in the radially outwards direction such that the threading is widest where it contacts the core and narrows towards the lateral surface. The core diameter of the threaded portion is defined by the outer diameter of the core and the outer diameter of the threaded portion is defined by the lateral surface of the threading.

The present invention generally relates to osseointegrated implants. In particular, embodiments of the present invention relate to extraosseous implants, for example, supra crestal implants, that are configured to substantially continuously cover the 3D topography of a top and a lateral surface of a bone, for example, a crestal and a lateral surface of the jaw. For example, the implants may be used on partially or completely edentulous jaws. Also, embodiments of the present invention relate to such implants made from biocompatible material of suitable porosity and elastic modulus. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention relate to improved implants suitable for implantation to bone deficient in quantity or quality, such as severely resorbed jaw bone. Further embodiments relate to a unique composite material comprising PEEK, bioglass and PMMA, and formed using triacrylate.

Provided are a dental implant with a nano bacteriostatic structure ring at a transgingival part and a machining method thereof. The transgingival part of the dental implant has a three-level micro-nano composite structure, and the three-level micro-nano composite structure endows a surface of the transgingival part of the implant with functions of promoting adhesion and proliferation of a gingival fibroblast and a gingival mesenchymal stem cell and inhibiting adhesion and growth of various oral bacteria. A preparation method thereof comprises: firstly, injecting bioactive, wear-resistant or corrosion-resistant C, N, Ca and P elements into the transgingival part of the dental implant by a plasma injection method; and then, preparing the three-level micro-nano composite structure at a part in which the elements are injected.

The present disclosure relates to a method for removing residual acid of implant that has been surface treated using acid, the method including thermal decomposition step of thermally decomposing and removing the acid remaining on the implant; base treatment step of treating the acid remaining on the implant with base, thereby neutralizing and removing the acid; and washing step of washing and removing the acid and the base remaining on the implant with washing water. According to the present disclosure, the acid remaining on the surface of the fixture can be effectively removed, and thus there is an effect of preventing the problem of bone loss that may occur near the placed implant.

An implant device configured to be at least partially in contact with bone on implantation has an improved osteoinductive feature to enhance new bone formation. The implant device has one or more bone growth surfaces extending from a structurally solid feature of the implant device. The one or more bone growth surfaces are configured to mimic adult trabecular bone by having trenches, grooves or surface recesses or prominences exhibiting numerous structural elements or walls not perpendicular to the surface that are non-coplanar or arched extending 20 to 500 microns in depth having an increasing inclination from the surface extending inwardly and not parallel to opposing or adjacent walls forming a random or non-random network. The one or more bone growth surfaces configured to mimic trabecular bone have discernable nano features on the structural elements or walls exhibiting nano scale features of less than 200 nano meters within the network.

The invention pertains to surface topographies which can be used to modulate the morphology, proliferation, biochemical functioning, differentiation, attachment, migration, signaling, and/or cell death of a cell population by physical stimulation. Such topographies can be applied in vitro and in vivo to modulate cell behavior. Specific examples include implants provided with a topography of the invention which regulates the immune response, or an implant which increases osteogenesis. The invention furthermore pertains to objects which are used in vitro to modulate cell behavior.

Embodiments of the disclosure relate to implantable objects and guiding devices, as well as recipient site preparation instruments, bone-implantable materials, and methods of fabrication and use thereof.

The invention provides a dental implant system with a surface gradient microporous structure and a preparation method thereof. The dental implant system includes a non-threaded micro-cone cylindrical dental implant and an abutment, wherein the dental implant includes a microporous layer with a bionic bone trabecular structure and a base with extremely high density and mechanical strength. The dental implant system of the invention has both the precision of the internal structure and the bionic characteristics of the surface structure, which effectively improves the long-term stability after implantation, reduces the complexity of the processing process of the dental implant system, and can realize personalized and batch production.
