The invention relates to an adaptor system for a dental prosthesis. The adaptor system comprises an abutment and an adaptor, wherein said adaptor is adapted to connect to a prior art or new implants and is also connected to the abutment by a rotational connection. The adaptor and the abutment are secured to the implant by a screw that retains the angular position of the abutment.

A multifunctional prosthetic component developed to have multiple functions within the conventional or digital workflow, in which a temporary or permanent prosthesis is made for a dental rehabilitation unit that is cemented or screwed on a dental implant. Thus, the component has a geometry that allows it to be used as a conventional closed tray transfer, conventional open tray transfer, scanbody, and temporary abutment, basically including three main regions: a lower region, an intermediate region and an upper region, being also able to cooperate with a positioner cap.

A dental prosthesis and a process for design and manufacturing, incorporating an overdenture and a dental implant framework that will be designed and manufactured simultaneously.

A multifunctional abutment configured to releasably connect to a dental implant comprises a body and a head at an upper edge of the body. The multifunctional abutment is configured to allow execution of multiple steps during an implantation procedure of the dental implant, while using same multifunctional abutment.

Disclosed are methods and devices for measuring the wear on a dental implant abutment in order to in order to identify the corresponding dental retention insert that is necessary to improve the fit and function of dentures and partial dentures with a patient.

A dental anchoring system includes an angled abutment, having a main body extending from a top to a channel body, the channel body extending away from the main body at a predetermined angle less than 180 degrees; a lip extending around the top; and an opening extending from the top and through the channel body, the opening to receive an attachment device; the angled abutment is to provide an angled attachment for a dental prosthetic.

A convertible dental assembly is disclosed herein. The convertible dental assembly includes abutments adapted for fixing with implants; fixed-hybrid housings adapted for fixing with the abutments through a fixing screw; and removable-hybrid housings, adapted for engagement with abutments through snap fit parts. The fixing screw and the snap fit part are fixed to the abutments through same female threads on the abutments. The fixed-hybrid housings are used for a fixed-hybrid dental assembly during period of healing of the implants, and replaced by the plurality of removable-hybrid housings along with the snap fit parts for a removable-hybrid dental assembly after the period of healing of the implants. The fixed-hybrid housings and the removable-hybrid housings can be captured in the dental assembly via chair-side pickup at respective instances. The removable-hybrid housings can be placed indirectly by a dental laboratory if a new denture is being fabricated. The abutment includes an outer frustoconical profile that engages with matching frustoconical cavities in the fixed-hybrid housings and removable-hybrid housings.

A frictionally-retained detachable dental attachment assembly or anchor device is designed to attach a dental appliance with a tooth root or implant. The assembly includes a denture attachment housing for securing in the dental appliance, an abutment attached with a tooth root or implant, and a compressible retention member with a first end in fixed attachment with the cap and a second end in snap engagement with the abutment via a frictionally-retained ball secured within a cavity of the abutment. The retention member is formed using a compressible material to allow the ball to compress and the retention member to flex while inserting the ball into the cavity. Additional friction-retained and fixed attachment configurations of the dental anchor device are provided, along with methods of securing a dental appliance in a subject's mouth by means of the friction-retained and fixed attachment dental anchor devices.

The present invention provides a dental implant comprising: a first coupling part 150 is provided on an inner surface of the axial hole of the fixture, the first coupling part comprising a coupling recess depressed outward, in a predetermined location on the inner surface of the axial hole, and a first corresponding coupling part provided on an outer circumferential surface of the coupling leg 122 to be complementarily coupled to the first coupling part 150, the first corresponding coupling part comprising a coupling protrusion, wherein, in a state in which the abutment is fitted into the fixture by complementary coupling between the first coupling part and the first corresponding coupling part; when a rotation force applied to the abutment has less than a predetermined level, the abutment is prevented from rotating relative to the fixture in a circumferential direction, and when the rotation force applied to the abutment is equal to or greater than the predetermined level, the coupling leg of the abutment is elastically bendable radially inwardly toward a central axis and the abutment is rotated in the circumferential direction, allowing the coupling protrusion of the first corresponding coupling part to be released from the coupling recess of the first coupling part, so that the fixture and the abutment are decoupled from each other.

The present invention provides a dental implant including: a fixture and an abutment including a coupling leg, and the fixture and the abutment are elastically coupled with each other, the dental implant including: a fixture axial hole inner inclined surface in which an inner diameter of an axial hole is gradually and downwardly reduced from a predetermined position of an inner inclined surface of the fixture; a first coupling part formed with a coupling hole at a predetermined position of the fixture; and a first associated coupling part formed with a coupling protrusion complementarily coupled with the first coupling part, wherein when the first associated coupling part is separated from the first coupling part by rotating the abutment, the coupling protrusion upwardly pushes the abutment from the fixture by elastic repulsion with the axial hole inner inclined surface of the fixture, thus the abutment becomes separated from the fixture.
