Described herein are systems and methods for hybrid denture fabrication. The systems and methods improve the efficiency of the fabrication process for both the dental service provider (e.g., dentist, dental surgeon, etc.) and the patient. A permanent hybrid prosthesis (e.g., the bridge and its reinforcing bar) can be fabricated within 24 hours of the surgical procedure using the systems and methods described herein. This makes it possible to deliverer the permanent hybrid prosthesis within 48 hours (or even within 24 hours) of the surgical procedure. Additionally, the system and methods eliminate the need to provide the patient with a temporary denture following the surgery. Further, the systems and methods substantially reduce the patients chair-time and/or the number of patient visits.

A multi-component dental implant system designed to improve oral hygiene. The dental implant system may comprise an implant body configured to be insertable into at least a portion of an individual's mouth, a primary or first abutment, a dental prosthesis engagement member, and a housing assembly. In use, the first abutment is designed to engage with and secure to the dental prosthesis engagement member. The housing is configured to secure to or cover the dental prosthesis engagement member. The dental implant system allows an individual to remove one or more components without the aid of any special tools or instruments.

A feature for retaining a denture on dental implants is shown and described. An anchor for receiving prongs is threaded to each of one or more implants in the mouth. A denture having prong passages is placed onto jaw bone or overlying tissue, above the implant. The anchor occupies an opening in the denture. With the denture in place and with the prong passages aligned with prong reception sites of the anchor, a pronged denture connector is installed such that the prongs pass through the prong passages of the denture and penetrate the prong reception sites of the anchor. The prongs are frictionally secured in place by an elastic member lining the prong passages of the denture and constricting over inserted prongs. The denture may comprise synthetic resin reinforced by a metallic reinforcing bar.

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.

Dental prosthetic system with a base structure (1) and a bridge structure (2). The base structure can be mounted on implants (10) provided in the jaw, whereas the bridge structure (2) with prosthetic teeth (6) which can be fixed on the base structure (1) in a fitting and detachable manner. This bridge structure (2) has bores (8) for screws (12) to fix the bridge structure (2).

This system includes base screws (11) for attaching the base structure (1) to said implants (10), wherein the head (15) of these base screws (11) is provided with an screw hole for mounting the bridge structure (2) on the base structure (1) by means of bridge screws (12) provided to that end which can be fixed in the screw hole of the base screws (11).

A dental anchoring system for fastening prostheses having a male component, a female component which is coupled to the male component, and a connection element which is coupled to the female component and makes up the retaining element of the prosthesis configured to be joined to the connection element. The dental anchoring system is configured to achieve a self-adjustable fastening of the prosthesis which enables the mobility of prosthesis to be controlled when it is subjected to a load during the use thereof by a patient; and wherein the mobility is limited by a ring-shaped stop of the female component, when at least one portion of a ring-shaped plane of the connection element comes into contact with ring-shaped stop of the female component.

A false tooth implanting device, having an expandable implant body, a lower protruding block at a recess of a lower portion of the implant body, a vertical screw, and a lateral screw; the recess has a first slanted engaging surface; an upper portion of the expandable implant body is provided with a vertical hole and a first portion of a vertical screw hole; the lower protruding block is provided with a second slanted engaging surface in contact with the first slanted engaging surface and a second portion of the vertical screw hole; the vertical screw passes through the vertical screw hole; the upper portion of the expandable implant body is provided with an expansion crevice and a lateral screw hole; when the lateral screw is screwed into the lateral screw hole, the upper portion of the expandable implant body is widened by expanding away from the expansion crevice.

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 method of analyzing a positional relationship between a dental restoration and a dental substructure. The method has steps of scanning a reference area and determining the shape of the dental substructure in its positional relationship to the reference area, and thereby providing a virtual dental substructure model and scanning the reference area along with scanning at least a portion of the dental restoration in fit position with the dental substructure to provide a virtual assembly model. The method further has the step of providing fitting quality information between the dental restoration model and the dental substructure model. The method utilizes superposing of further virtual models to provide the fitting quality information. The method facilitates the assessment of the quality of the fit between a dental restoration and a dental substructure.
