A screw-shaped anchoring fixture for anchoring a prosthesis in the skull bone. The anchoring fixture comprises a main body configured to be implanted into the bone and a flange configured to function as a stop to prevent the main body from completely penetrating through the bone. The main body comprises a distal tapered apical portion, a first portion, and a second portion. The inner diameter of the second portion is greater than the inner diameter of the first portion. The method for inserting the anchoring fixture includes providing the anchoring fixture, drilling a hole, and inserting the anchoring fixture into the hole until the flange contacts the skull bone, wherein the hole has a diameter that is greater than the inner diameter of the first portion and less than the outer diameter of the second portion.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a dental implant apparatus that comprises an implant and an implant support that can be placed next to one another by means of contact surfaces and that have contours providing security against rotation that are integrally molded on in one piece, that have mutually matching contours providing security against rotation that prevent a rotation of the implant and the implant support in the state placed next to one another. The invention further relates to a tool system for carrying out such a method and furthermore to a dental implant apparatus that is manufactured in a corresponding manner. In accordance with the invention, the contact surface of the implant is ground using a first grinding gauge that has a grinding surface having the shape of the contact surface of the implant attachment and that leaves open the contour providing security against rotation of the implant, while the contact surface of the implant support is ground using a second grinding gauge that has a grinding surface having the shape of the contact surface of the implant and that leaves open the contour providing security against rotation of the implant support.

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.

An angled zygomatic implant apparatus for spanning a patient's zygomatic bone and maxillary bone includes a zygomatic abutment screw with a conical receptacle and san implant threaded bore, the zygomatic abutment screw is adapted for fixation in the patient's zygomatic bone, and an angled extension having an implant end adapted with a conical portion adapted for fixation to the conical receptacle of the zygomatic abutment screw. The angled extension is elongated and otherwise adapted to span the space between a patient's zygomatic bone and maxillary bone for fixing a maxillary tooth 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.

The present invention addresses above-noted objectives by providing a dental component that includes a coronal end, an apical end, and a longitudinal axis extending between the coronal end and the apical end. The dental component also includes an interface for assembly to another dental component, the interface comprising at least one indexing section for rotationally locking the dental component to the other dental component and at least one guiding section. The at least one guiding section and the at least one indexing section alternate about the longitudinal axis, wherein the guiding section includes an apically facing or coronally facing guiding surface. Further, a tangent to at least a portion of the guiding surface has a slope towards the next indexing section about the longitudinal axis.

A dental implant assembly comprising a healing component (10) removably attachable to a coronal end of a dental implant (40) and an impression component (20) having an outer surface, an upper portion (21) and a lower portion (22) and being removably attachable to the healing component (10). The healing component (10) has an internal bore (13) for receiving at least part of the lower portion (22) of said impression component (20) therein and the internal bore having a shoulder on an inner surface thereof acting as an axial locator providing an endstop for axial movement of said impression component (20) within said bore (13). The assembly further comprises a rotational locator limiting rotational movement between said impression component (20) and said healing component (10), the rotational locator comprising a formation on said outer surface of the impression component (20) and/or a formation on said inner surface of said bore (13) of the healing component (10). Using this assembly, a digital impression recording positional information about the dental implant can be taken without having to remove the healing component (10) from the implant (40).

An abutment for holding a dental prosthesis to a jaw implant, having: an apical section detachably fastening the abutment to the jaw implant, the apical section being structured along a first central axis; a coronal section detachably fastening the dental prosthesis to the abutment, the coronal section being structured along a second central axis, wherein the second central axis extends at an angle to the first central axis; and an indexing element in a shell surface of the coronal section specifying an orientation of a display element that is coupleable to the coronal section for a digital scanning operation, based on an orientation of the first central axis. A display element coupling to an abutment coronal section, and displaying a position and orientation of the abutment for a digital scanning operation, a tooth model system having an abutment and a display element, and a method producing a dental prosthesis.

A dental implant structure includes a fixture fixed to an alveolar bone, an abutment coupled to the fixture and configured to attach an artificial tooth thereto, and a coupling element configured to couple the fixture and the abutment to each other. In the dental implant structure, the fixture includes a lower fixture portion fixed to the alveolar bone and an upper fixture portion coupled to the abutment, a first thread is formed on a part or all of a surface of the lower fixture portion so as to be fixed to the alveolar bone, the lower fixture portion has a shape extending along a rotation axis of the first thread, a second thread is formed on a part or all of a surface of the upper fixture portion, and the upper fixture portion has a shape extending along a rotation axis of the second thread.

A dental implant for insertion in a jaw bone has a receiving opening arranged on a coronal end of the dental implant for an abutment, the receiving opening when viewed from the coronal end having a taper section and an indexing section, the indexing section having at least one outwardly extending groove arranged along a circular circumference, the taper section having a conical angle of less than 3.
