A method for producing a dental adaptive element for alleviating recession of gingiva around an alveolar socket of a patient includes: obtaining images of a tooth; creating a 3D model having a crown part and a root part based on the images; obtaining a boundary curve on the 3D model between the crown part and the root part; on the root part of the 3D virtual model, obtaining an imaginary surface that protrudes in a direction from the crown part toward the root part; extracting a sub-model from the 3D model by removing a portion of the root part that extends between the imaginary surface and an end of the root part; and producing a dental adaptive element according to the sub-model.

The present invention relates to a dental implant set comprising a fixture for insertion into a bore hole arranged in bone tissue having first indexing means, a dental component having second indexing means and being adaptable to the fixture in an engaged position where the first and second indexing means mate and in an intermediate position where the dental component and the fixture are in contact with each other but the first and the second indexing means do not mate, and a fixation screw being adapted for fixating the dental component to the fixture. The present invention also relates to a method for attaching a dental component to a dental fixture.

A system that includes a gingiva former, a final abutment, and a final implant replacement. The gingiva former includes connecting geometry for attachment to an implant, a customized edge, a tapered bottom portion, and a tapered top portion that includes a circumferential surface. The customized edge and the tapered bottom portion have respective shapes that correspond to a 3D data set of a region of the final abutment that includes and is below an edge of the final abutment. The circumferential surface and a longitudinal axis of the connecting geometry form an angle of inclination. The customized edge of the gingiva former either (i) corresponds to a gingival line of the final implant replacement or (ii) is at a distance from the gingival line of the final implant replacement such that the gingival line of the final implant replacement is above the edge of the gingiva former.

A semi-synthetic hybrid material having a pH from 7 to 7.4 includes an inorganic fraction and a cross-linked organic fraction. The method for producing this material, and osteosynthesis devices or implants made of semi-synthetic hybrid material are also described.

A pluggable implant is disclosed that is comprising an implant body extending between a distal end and an apical end, and comprising a cavity extending from the distal end towards the apical end, the cavity capable of accommodating a plug insertable from the distal end towards the apical end, such that when the plug is fully inserted and located in its apically-most position, the plug seals the cavity. Moreover, there is a method for plugging a hollow implant is disclosed, the implant comprising an implant body extending between a distal end and an apical end, and comprising a cavity extending from the distal end towards the apical end; wherein a plug is removably inserted into the implant through the cavity from the distal end towards the apical end such that when the plug is in fully inserted position and located in its apically-most position, the plug seals the cavity.

A patient-specific dental implant abutment may comprise an abutment base that attaches to a dental implant, the abutment base comprising a base top, a base bottom, and a base side, the base side continuously connecting the base top and base bottom together, the abutment base constructed to removably attach to a dental implant. The device may further comprise a set of abutment caps, each abutment cap comprising a cap top connected to the cap bottom, the cap bottom removably attaching to the top of an abutment base in a manner that the cap top does not contact an emergent sulcus, wherein each abutment cap has a different cap top that is constructed to handle at least one function relating to a phase of a dental implant surgery.

A tissue level one-time abutment system for use in a dental zone to reduce a chair time, the system comprising: an abutment supporting a superstructure, the abutment comprising: an implant; a healing cap mechanically fixed to the implant by a threaded bolt extending axially through the healing cap and secured into a matching tapped socket in the implant; and a driving tool having a cross sectional shape matching an axial depression in the healing cap and the driving tool attached to the threaded bolt and having a detachable connection to the threaded bolt; wherein the abutment is configured to be inserted in an initial procedure, with the healing cap retained in place upon the implant, following the initial procedure.

The invention is directed to a new dental implant and associated parts that allow for insertion in narrow areas of the alveolar bone. Characteristics of the body of the implant allow for comfortable insertion in narrow bone clefts provided by its smooth narrow sections. The implant provides an alternative to complex and time consuming surgical processes involving bone regeneration and/or grafting.

A method for producing an adaptive element for dental implantation includes: obtaining images of a tooth and creating a 3D model based thereon; obtaining a boundary curve on the 3D model between crown and root parts thereof; defining a cutting line on the root part perpendicular to an axis of the 3D model and spaced apart from the boundary curve; extracting a sub-model from the 3D model with reference to the boundary curve and the cutting line; forming a tubular model from the sub-model by removing all that corresponds to the crown part and hollowing out the sub-model such that the tubular model has a predetermined thickness in radial directions transverse to the axis; and producing the adaptive element according to the tubular model.

The invention relates to mini plates and anchorages which are used in orthodontics in dentistry and which can be used in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery. The invention has plate socket arms with the threaded plate sockets on which the plates are fixed in the form shown in FIG. 1, and under these plate socket arms, screw sockets fixed with the multi-vectorial anchorage unit fixation of the detachable multi-vectorial anchorage unit as shown in FIG. 2. Detachable multi-vectorial anchorage units and threaded healing screws can be fixed on said screw sockets by clamping these threads.
