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 virtual model of an intraoral cavity is provided, wherein this process is initialized by a dental clinic, and the design and manufacture of a suitable dental prosthesis for the intraoral cavity is shared between a dental lab and a service center.

The present invention is a surgical guide for guiding the insertion of a dental implant into a desired location in a patient's mouth. The implant includes a non-rotational structure. The surgical guide includes a structure and a master tube. The structure has a negative impression surface to be fitted on and placed over gingival tissue, bone, and/or teeth in the patient's mouth. The structure includes an opening through which the dental implant is placed. The master tube is located at the opening. The master tube includes indicia for alignment with the non-rotational structure on the implant such that the non-rotational structure of the implant is at a known angular orientation with respect to the master tube. The present invention includes kits of various components used with the surgical guide and with the dental surgery using the surgical guide.

A fixed, detachable dental attachment device has a cap for securing a dental appliance, a ring, and an abutment to attachment to a tooth root or implant. Also described herein are methods of securing a dental appliance in a subject's mouth by means of the dental attachment device. Further described herein is a dental attachment device for immediate load on a provisional denture and then incorporated into the final restoration.

A substantially tubular intermediate attachment part with a first through-hole for attaching a screw-retained dental prosthetic component or a dental tool to a dental implant or to a dental implant analog, extending along a first longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end. Each end is provided with a set of longitudinal fins intended for snap-fitting into the dental prosthetic component or into the dental tool on the one hand and into the dental implant on the other hand.

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 a prosthesis without the aid of any special tools or instruments.

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 invention provides a dental prosthesis, comprising: an implant frame configured to be fixed into the mouth of a patient to support replacement of two or more teeth of the patient, the implant frame having an exterior surface, the exterior surface defining a first engagement profile; and an overlay adapted to be secured to the implant frame and to provide, or afford mounting of, the two or more teeth, the overlay having an internal cavity that extends along a substantial length of the overlay, the internal cavity defining a second engagement profile, wherein the second engagement profile is complementary to the first engagement profile, thereby allowing fitment of a substantial portion of the exterior surface of the implant frame within the internal cavity.

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.
