Flexible abutment for use with dental implant
An abutment for use in combination with a dental prosthesis and a dental implant configured for implantation in an osseous structure is provided. The abutment comprises an abutment wall comprising a flexural region comprising a shoulder portion and an abutment recess located below the shoulder portion when the abutment is in an upright position. The flexural region is configured to enable at least a vertical movement of an upper portion of the abutment relative to a lower portion of the abutment when the abutment is subjected to a loading force. There is also provided a retention assembly comprising a first member and a second member each positionable within a longitudinally extending abutment channel of an abutment in a spaced apart relationship to define an abutment chamber therebetween. A method for implanting a dental implant assembly into a mouth of a patient is also provided.
Dental anchoring system for fastening prostheses
A dental anchoring system for fastening prostheses having a male component, a female component which is coupled to the male component, and a connection element which is coupled to the female component and makes up the retaining element of the prosthesis configured to be joined to the connection element. The dental anchoring system is configured to achieve a self-adjustable fastening of the prosthesis which enables the mobility of prosthesis to be controlled when it is subjected to a load during the use thereof by a patient; and wherein the mobility is limited by a ring-shaped stop of the female component, when at least one portion of a ring-shaped plane of the connection element comes into contact with ring-shaped stop of the female component.
FLEXIBLE ABUTMENT FOR USE WITH DENTAL IMPLANT
An abutment for use in combination with a dental prosthesis and a dental implant configured for implantation in an osseous structure is provided. The abutment comprises an abutment wall comprising a flexural region comprising a shoulder portion and an abutment recess located below the shoulder portion when the abutment is in an upright position. The flexural region is configured to enable at least a vertical movement of an upper portion of the abutment relative to a lower portion of the abutment when the abutment is subjected to a loading force. There is also provided a retention assembly comprising a first member and a second member each positionable within a longitudinally extending abutment channel of an abutment in a spaced apart relationship to define an abutment chamber therebetween. A method for implanting a dental implant assembly into a mouth of a patient is also provided.
Dental implant abutment having occlusal force buffering function
Disclosed is a dental implant abutment having a function of buffering occlusal force transmitted through a prosthesis and configured to be elastically coupled to the prosthesis without using an adhesive. A prosthesis fastening protrusion protrudes outward from an outer surface of an upper portion thereof on which a prosthesis is mounted. The diameter of the prosthesis fastening protrusion being greater than the diameter of a portion located directly therebelow. Indentations divide the upper portion of the abutment into a plurality of sections. The indentations continuously extend downward a predetermined length from a top end surface of the abutment. A predetermined lengthwise portion of each of the indentations has a spiral or oblique shape.
