The invention relates to a scan abutment (2) for determination of the position of the plane of the front face (1.1) of a dental endosseous implant (1), wherein the abutment (2) has a longish, hollow shaft (4) and a base (3) at the bottom side (4.2) of the shaft (4), and the base (3) with at least a part of its bottom side (8.2) is attachable onto the front face (1.1) of the implant (1), wherein the base (3) has a recess (9) extending from the upper side (8.1) to the lower side (8.2) of the base (3), wherein the longish, hollow shaft (4) has from a side wall (10) having at least one through hole (5a) at its outer periphery, wherein the through hole of the side wall (10) extends from the bottom side (4.2) of the shaft (4) to the upper side (4.1) of the shaft, thereby forming a planar surface (6) in the plane (12) between shaft (4) and base (3).

The present disclosure provides a root-canal sealer composition including cement and a hygroscopic liquid, in which the cement includes tricalcium silicate (3CaO.SiO.sub.2) in which an aluminum atom (Al) is solid-soluted (Al solid-soluted C3S), dicalcium silicate (2CaO.SiO.sub.2) in which an aluminum atom (Al) is solid-soluted (Al solid-soluted C2S), and tricalcium aluminate (3CaO.Al.sub.2O.sub.3) in which a silicon atom (Si) is solid-soluted (Si solid-soluted C3A), the tricalcium aluminate being disposed between at least one selected from the group consisting of the Al solid-soluted C3S and the Al solid-soluted C2S. When the cement including aluminum solid-soluted tricalcium silicate, aluminum solid-soluted dicalcium silicate, and silicon solid-soluted tricalcium aluminate is prepared and used for a root-canal sealer composition, a curing time is reduced and compressive strength is increased. Also, the root-canal sealer composition is effective at ensuring a sufficient working time, thereby improving workability and storage stability.

The present invention enables modification of an intraosseous implant device that is not only biologically non-inert, but can stimulate bone and vascular growth; decrease localized inflammation; and fight local infections. The method of the present invention provides a fiber with any of the following modifications: (1) Nanofiber with PDGF, (2) Nanofiber with PDGF+BMP2, and (3) Nanofiber with BMP2 and Ag. Nanofiber can be modified with other growth factors that have been shown to improve bone growth and maturation—BMP and PDGF being the most common. Nanofiber can be applied on the surface of the implant in several ways. First, a spiral micro-notching can be applied on the implant in the same direction as the threads with the nanofibers embedded into the notches. Second, the entire surface of the implant may be coated with a mesh of nanofibers. Third, it can be a combination of both embedding and notching.
