A dental implant assembly containing an integrally-formed universal abutment which has a top section, a bottom section integrally joined to the top section, and a passageway extending through these sections. The passageway is formed by different size bores, initially a larger size than decrease in size. The top section of the abutment has a cross-sectional shape substantially like a polygon; the shape is formed by alternating linear and arcuate walls joining to a bottom section having a cross-sectional shape substantially like a polygon.

Methods, systems, and devices including a dental prosthesis having: a dental implant adapted to be inserted inside a jawbone and defining an elongated cavity; an abutment adapted to be partially inserted inside the elongated cavity and defining an access hole aligned with the elongated cavity; a screw adapted to be inserted inside the elongated cavity and the access hole and coupling the abutment with the dental implant; and an anti-rotation bar disposed inside the access hole and having a first end engaged with a head of the screw and an outer surface disposed in contact with the abutment, wherein the anti-rotation bar restricts a rotation of the screw inside the access hole.

A dental prosthesis is provided which is formed of a crown portion and a partial root portion. The prosthesis is more substantial than traditional crowns, and is sized and configured to fit closely within a root hole left from an extracted tooth. The partial root portion is able to be directly abutting the tissue of the patient, and does not rely on any other framework such as a portion of existing tooth, bone graft, and the like. An implant may be positioned through a channel defined in the prosthesis and the prosthesis may be installed at the same time as the implant.

A scan body with healing abutment for coupling to an implanted dental component includes: a scannable portion; a healing abutment portion; and a skirt positioned between the scannable portion and the healing abutment portion, the skirt having an upper surface containing scannable indicia. The scannable portion is positioned at an apical end of the healing abutment portion and comprises a tapered body; and the healing abutment portion comprises a lower surface of the skirt and a tapered hollow cuff extending from the lower surface of the skirt toward a distal end.

A dental implant having an implant body having on an outer side an external thread for fastening the dental implant to a jaw bone and having an opening extending along a longitudinal axis of the dental implant. The opening comprises an internal thread for fastening a superstructure to the dental implant. The implant body further includes an interface for fastening the superstructure to the dental implant, which interface is arranged at a front end of the implant body. The dental implant further has an anti-rotation element which is configured to prevent rotation of the superstructure around the longitudinal axis relative to the dental implant, wherein the anti-rotation element is configured as a component separate from the implant body, which is attached to the implant body in an area of the interface.

A dental implant has a coronal portion forming an upwardly converging tapered cylinder. First threads in a first direction are located on an outer surface of the coronal portion. A scalloped implant-abutment interface is provided at an upper end of the coronal portion. The dental implant also has an apical portion forming a downwardly converging tapered cylinder. Second threads in a second direction are located on an outer surface of the apical portion. The second direction is preferably opposite to the first direction. The first threads are preferably shallower than the second threads.

Apparatus and method for installing a multi-tooth dental prosthesis in one session are shown and described. A first tool attaches to the jawbone, and serves as a foundation for subsequently used guides. Existing teeth and dental fixtures are removed, and the bone tissue is removed to accommodate the prosthesis. Subsequently, a drill guide is used to drill implant holes. An abutment guide is then used to place abutments. Copings are then installed. Next, the prosthesis may be installed and cemented to the copings. A resinous filler material may be applied to fill gaps and holes in and between the copings and the prosthesis, and is sanded smooth.

Apparatus and method for installing a dental prosthesis to maxillary or mandibular jawbone of a patient are shown and described. The apparatus and method include a fixation base for providing an attachment surface, where the fixation base has at least one feature that is designed to be scannable by an intraoral scanner.

Apparatus and method for installing a dental prosthesis to maxillary or mandibular jawbone of a patient are shown and described. The apparatus and method include a fixation base for providing an attachment surface and an abutment guide attachable to said fixation base in a position wherein the abutment guide is oriented to receive abutments and guide the abutments for placement on the implants. The abutment guide has at least one peg that is designed to be scannable by an intraoral scanner and is designed as a positioning structure that allows a dental prosthesis to be releasably attached to the abutment guide in a specific position.
