An abutment for a dental implant system includes a main body extending along a longitudinal axis from a first end to a second end. The main body includes a peripheral side surface having a continuously-flared profile from the first end to the second end. The abutment further includes one or more impression features formed at the second end of the main body and one or more scan features formed at the second end of the main body. A clocking element is formed at the first end of the main body. The abutment includes a matte material surface and is configured for use as an impression transfer and as a scan body in a dental implant operation.

A ceramic dental prosthesis including an implant for osseointegration in a jaw bone with a receiving opening and an abutment having a through-hole for receiving a bolt. The bolt is produced from a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic and connects the abutment and the implant. The dental prosthesis system includes an anti-rotation feature formed by a first interlocking means arranged on a proximal end of the abutment and a second interlocking means arranged on a distal end of the implant. The first interlocking means engages in the second interlocking means, wherein the first and second interlocking means are arranged at a distance from one another such that the abutment can be tilted relative to the implant. The bolt runs in the through-hole of the abutment and the receiving opening. An interference fit is provided between the bolt and the receiving opening of the implant.

Dental implants may be designed using a three-dimensional scan of an extracted tooth root and/or a corresponding socket site. The dental implant may include three portions: a root portion designed to sit below the patient's gum line, a connector portion positioned above the root portion and designed to sit above the gum line, and an abutment portion positioned above the connector portion upon which a temporary or permanent crown may be placed. The root portion may include three sections that correspond to three areas of a three-dimensional scan of an extracted tooth root. The first and third sections of the implant may have a size and shape that corresponds to a first and third portions of the three-dimensional scan, respectively. A circumference of the second section of the implant may be smaller than a corresponding circumference of the second section of the three-dimensional scan of the tooth root.

The present invention provides a trabecular porous tantalum dental implant and a preparation method thereof. The trabecular porous tantalum dental implant provided by the present invention has a cylindrical structure, and sequentially includes a top functional area, a middle functional area and a bottom functional area from top to bottom. The top functional area has a compact structure. The middle functional area has a porous bionic trabecular structure. The bottom functional area has a compact structure. The trabecular porous tantalum dental implant is integrally prepared through an additive manufacturing technology by using pure tantalum or medical tantalum alloy powder as a raw material. The trabecular porous tantalum dental implant provided by the present invention has a high friction force, strength and modulus close to those of human bones, an excellent bone ingrowth effect, high implantation stability and long service life.

A device and a system for forming a releasable connection between a dental implant abutment and prosthetic restoration, and in particular to such a device and system that is configured for use in situations where the inter-occlusal space is very limited, the device having a female connection device having a hollow tubular body featuring an open lumen.

An approach for attaching a superstructure, such as a crown, to an abutment by an approach that includes causing thermoplastic material to become flowable due to mechanical energy input, and to flow relative to an attachment structure to secure the superstructure and crown together.

The present invention relates to an assembly for forming an interface part for dental implants with variable height. The assembly comprises a tubular interface part with a central axis and an auxiliary part which is coupled to the interface part. In a coupled position: the auxiliary part is integral with the interface part at least in a sense of direction parallel to the central axis; a final segment of the abutment protrudes through an upper end of the auxiliary part; and a peripheral surface outside the abutment comprises at least one planar face in a plane which intersects with the final segment of the abutment and the central axis. The planar face of the auxiliary part serves as a guide for cutting the abutment at a specific height.

A dental assembly for vertical attachment of an implant to a dental abutment for restorative dental procedures is disclosed. The implant includes a cylindrical body having an interior bore formed between a distal end and a proximal end. An abutment interface is formed on the proximal end of the cylindrical body. The interface includes a radial annular interior surface and a flat annular stop surface circumferentially bordering the interior bore. The assembly also includes an abutment including a stem and a post coupled to the stem. An interior bore is formed through the stem and the post. The abutment includes an interface section between the post and the stem. The interface section may include an annular radially curved exterior surface proximate to the post. The radially curved exterior surface and the circular flat surface interfaces with the abutment interface of the dental implant.

The present invention relates to endosseous implants and in particular, to screw form dental implants for implanting within bone. The bone implant is configured to be a self-drilling bone implant that is adept at condensing, collecting and distributing bone along all of the implant's surface and within the implantation site, to significantly increase the bone implant contact surface. The implant is configured to have a coronal portion and a body portion that are continuous with one another. The coronal portion is configured to have a smaller overall diameter than the overall diameter of said body portion. The body portion is fit with threading that facilitates the self-drilling and bone collection properties when the implant is rotates in both the clockwise and counterclockwise directions.

In a shell for adapting a retention element to an anchoring element, and a method of forming a further retention element on an anchoring element including a shell, the shell has an internal cavity, the dimensions of which are matched to the external dimensions of the retention element and which is connectable to the retention element in an integral or form-fitting manner, and has an outer surface which is formed as a further retention element.
