Dental implant assembly comprising an implant with a body having an outer implant surface configured for osseointegration and a connection well, and an abutment comprising a prosthesis mounting portion for assembly of a dental prosthesis thereon and a connector mounting cavity. The assembly further comprises a connector comprising an implant mounting portion for assembly in the connection well of the implant, and an abutment mounting portion for assembly in the connector mounting cavity of the abutment, the abutment mounting portion of the connector comprising an index portion and the abutment connector mounting cavity further comprising an index cavity portion for receiving the index portion therein, the index portions configured to register the rotational orientation of the abutment about a longitudinal axis (A) with respect to the connector.

Superstructure and dental implant each with an interface that allows direct attachment of the superstructure to the dental implant without the use of an abutment and can be manufactured in a cost-effective manner.

A dental abutment coping or ring for securing a dental prosthesis to dental abutments. The coping or ring includes a body for insertion into a dental prosthesis, and a cavity or space sized to accept a head of the dental abutment. The interior surface of the cavity includes an interface region sized and shaped to accept the dental abutment in a retentive interface fit or a passive fit, depending on an angle of the interface surface. The exterior surface can have channels configured to contain a cement bonding the exterior surface to the dental prosthesis. A dental prosthesis system including the dental copings provides a retentive interference fit between the prosthesis and the dental abutments, even where the dental abutments are not parallel. A plurality of copings and abutments enables a retentive fit to varying degrees depending on the degree of interference fit in each coping and abutment.

A coupling element for dentistry applications having a tubular body which forms an internal duct that is open outward at respective ends of the body. A first end forms a first inlet for the insertion in the duct of the head of a pin which can be coupled directly or indirectly to a maxillary bone tissue. The first end has a recess provided along the edge of the first inlet and forms a guiding portion for the insertion of the head of the pin; along a segment of the duct which is contiguous to the first inlet there is a protrusion which is substantially aligned longitudinally with the recess, for contrasting the accidental rotation of a ring provided with a respective discontinuity, which can be arranged in the segment in order to lock the head of the pin.

The present invention relates to an implant and, more specifically, has a fixture having a circular ball shape and a socket structure of an abutment body coupled to the fixture, and thus enables improvement of the matching between the fixture and an abutment which are an implant structure during an implant procedure.

A dental implant includes a post and an abutment extending from the post, the post and abutment being made from metal. A crown having a hollow cavity is attached onto the abutment, the crown being configured with a metallic insert that can be accessed and coupled to the abutment to enable electrical contact. In one version, the crown includes a metallic core and in another version, the crown can include a formed recess that receives a portion of the metal abutment. In each version, an exposed metallic area is provided, enabling electrical conduction to the abutment and post as part of a bacterial treatment of the dental implant.

The present dental implant, whether tapered or cylindrical, is cannulated, to allow placement over a slender post pre-embedded into the host bone. The post is a rigid, not a flexible, construct that can be placed accurately, as to position and angle, in the jawbone. With the post in the correct position, the implant is then installed directly over the temporarily anchored post, and after tightening of the implant by rotation the post is removed.

The invention relates to a dental prosthesis production device and method of manufacturing a dental prosthesis in which the dental prosthesis has an implant (40) and an abutment (10) which has a shape that is compatible with the implant (40) and on or to which abutment a dental structure (28) that is made of a dental material, in particular ceramic and/or plastic, and produced with the aid of a CAM process using rapid prototyping or compression molding technology can be secured. The abutment is mounted on the implant (40) via a releasable connection, in particular a screw connection (44), having an anti-rotation mechanism (50), and an anti-rotation device (groove 22) is formed between the abutment (10) and the dental structure (28). A selection device (66) is provided for abutments, said selection device allowing a selection of the abutment (10) for producing the dental prosthesis, optionally after reducing the abutment height to a specified value in a patient-specific manner, and a machining tool, in particular a milling cutter, or a CAM device is provided for shortening the abutment (10).

An implant fixture is disclosed. The implant fixture contains an elongated shaft section, and a head section, wherein the head section contains at least one concave area for bone growth therein.

An anatomical healing abutment is configured to connect to a dental implant. The healing abutment has a body portion which includes at least three reference marks that provide data to orient the connection axis of the abutment with the that of the dental implant so that certain conventional steps, including healing abutment manipulation, multiple scans, and the taking of impressions, can be eliminated, thereby saving time and effort on the part of the practitioner.
