A system to transfer the location of at least one tilted dental implant to an impression material, the system includes an angulated component connectable to a tilted dental implant and a cap to snap onto the angulated component. The system provides a tilt, a location and a rotation of the tilted dental implant into the impression material.

Embodiments of the present invention provide an osseointegrative implant and related tools, components and fabrication techniques for surgical bone fixation and dental restoration purposes. In one embodiment an all-ceramic single-stage threaded or press-fit implant is provided having finely detailed surface features formed by ceramic injection molding and/or spark plasma sintering of a powder compact or green body comprising finely powdered zirconia. In another embodiment a two-stage threaded implant is provided having an exterior shell or body formed substantially entirely of ceramic and/or CNT-reinforced ceramic composite material. The implant may include one or more frictionally anisotropic bone-engaging surfaces. In another embodiment a densely sintered ceramic implant is provided wherein, prior to sintering, the porous debound green body is exposed to ions and/or particles of silver, gold, titanium, zirconia, YSZ, α-tricalcium phosphate, hydroxyapatite, carbon, carbon nanotubes, and/or other particles which remain lodged in the implant surface after sintering. Optionally, at least the supragingival portions of an all-ceramic implant are configured to have high translucence in the visible light range. Optionally, at least the bone-engaging portions of an all-ceramic implant are coated with a fused layer of titanium oxide.

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.

A dental abutment assembly that comprises a dental abutment having a tubular passage with an internal abutment thread at a lower end of the tubular passage, a dental implant fixture having an upper socket with an internal implant fixture thread, and a screw shaft having an upper external thread with an upper external helix twisted in a first direction and a lower external thread having a lower external helix twisted in a second direction, the upper external thread and the lower external thread are located at opposite ends of a connecting shaft. The first direction and the second direction are opposite to one another.

An electromotive linear drive in the form of a dual drive adjust movably mounted parts of reclining and seating furniture. Two threaded spindles (2, 3) driven by a worm gear and which are arranged one behind the other and flush with one another for displacing a lifting element. Bearings are provided at both ends of each threaded spindle (2, 3). The bearings are designed as roller bearings (4, 5) having an inner ring (6) and an outer ring (7). The aim of the invention is to design an electromotive dual drive in such a way that a short overall length is achieved and that the stability of the structure is increased. Said aim is achieved by arranging an abutment between both roller bearings (4, 5), which accommodate the spindle ends, on which the roller bearings are supported on from both sides.

A method of using a dental filler is disclosed. The method may include securing a prosthetic to a dental implant, the prosthetic having an access channel therethrough. The method may also include filling a portion of the access channel by inserting a polytetrafluoroethylene dental plug into the access channel and compressing the polytetrafluoroethylene dental plug within the access channel.

Dental component (1) for the individual prosthetic reconstruction of a tooth, intended to be received on a dental implant, comprising: a first element (3) with an angled through-passage (4), a second element (7) intended to be received against or in a dental implant (2),

Means of assembly (9, 13a-13c) between the first (3) and second (7) elements make it possible effectively to limit the removal of material to be performed in the first element (3) in order to create the angled through-passage (4).

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

The invention relates to a dental implant consisting of an anchoring body defined between an apical end and a cervical end, wherein said anchoring body is a body having a first predetermined length and, on the outer surface thereof and along the entirety of said first predetermined length, at least one thread, wherein said anchoring body has, over at least a coronal portion, a portion of said at least one thread that has a nominal diameter that is greater than an outer diameter of said anchoring body at a first ratio of 2.00 to 4.00, preferably 2.00 to 3.00.

A method produces a three-dimensional computer model of an abutment for a tooth implant by a computer, and the abutment has a base, a connecting structure, a platform surface of coronal appearance, and a screw channel. The method includes: providing a three-dimensional representation of a jaw of the patient to be read by the computer, choosing a definition of a preparation margin depending upon the patient's individual gum line, defining a three-dimensional geometry of the abutment above the preparation margin by an operator of the computer or by an algorithm, defining an emergence profile of the abutment by an operator of the computer or by an algorithm, and providing the three-dimensional computer model by the computer. A plate-like design of the platform surface is provided below the preparation margin for the three-dimensional geometry of the platform.
