METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING CUSTOMIZED ARTIFICIAL TOOTH AND CUSTOMIZED ARTIFICIAL TOOTH
Provided is a method of manufacturing a customized artificial tooth and a customized artificial tooth. A method of manufacturing a customized artificial tooth includes acquiring image information on an image of an alveolar bone and a tooth using computed tomography (CT) scanning, wherein slope information generated according to inclination degrees of a crown part and a root part of a tooth in an XYZ three-dimensional (3D) space is acquired together with image information such as root shape information of a tooth in which an implant is to be implanted; generating output modeling data in which a screw groove is formed, such that the screw groove in which the slope information is reflected is formed in the implant to be implanted in a tooth-extracted part of the tooth; and manufacturing the implant in which the screw groove is formed, using a 3D printer based on the output modeling data.
MESENCHYMAL STEM CELL-MEDIATED FUNCTIONAL TOOTH REGENERATION
A method for reconstructing a functional tooth by using a carrier loaded with a plurality of mesenchymal stem cells including at least one of a stem cell derived from Apical Papilla (SCAP), Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells (PDLSC), and Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSC). The mesenchymal stem cell loaded carrier is planted into a site within a subject's oral cavity to form a bio-root upon which a crown may be affixed, The mesenchymal stem cells will develop new periodontal tissues to stabilize the bio-root. Methods disclosed herein are particularly beneficial for subjects lacking good bone structures for conventional crown treatments.
BIONIC IMPLANTS AND MANUFACTURING METHODS THEREOF
The present invention relates to a customized or standardized bionic implant and its manufacturing, especially for dental applications. According to the first variant of the invention, the implant is characterized in that its single-component anchor possesses at least two bionic arms (2) tapering circumferentially, thereby creating at least one pointed (5) and/or linear (6) blade on each arm (2). According to the second variant of the implant, the single-component anchor possesses at least two bulging arms (2) forming at least one protrusion (4) on each of them. The manufacturing method depends on whether the implant is standardized, new and customized or is a modification of an implant selected from a digital library of standardized implants. In all of these cases, the physical form of the anchor is printed in a 3D printer. In the case of customized implants, the process begins with obtaining tomographic images of the biological target. In the case of designing a new implant, a panoramic curve/curves and panoramic surface are set and become the basis for the arms (2) of the implant's virtual anchor.
DENTAL IMPLANT METHOD AND APPARATUS
A method of manufacturing a dental implant wherein the resulting dental implant closely corresponds to or matches the size and shape of the extracted tooth. Generally stated, the method comprises the steps of (i) three dimensionally mapping the size and shape of the crown and root of a tooth to be extracted and (ii) using said mapping to manufacture a dental implant to correspond to the size and the shape of said crown and root of the tooth to be extracted. Further, the resulting dental implant may comprise a number of anti-migratory structural features that function to better secure the dental implant to the patient.
Mesenchymal stem cell-mediated function tooth regeneration
A method for reconstructing a functional tooth by using a carrier loaded with a plurality of mesenchymal stem cells including at least one of a stem cell derived from Apical Papilla (SCAP), Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells (PDLSC), and Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSC). The mesenchymal stem cell loaded carrier is planted into a site within a subject's oral cavity to form a bio-root upon which a crown may be affixed, The mesenchymal stem cells will develop new periodontal tissues to stabilize the bio-root. Methods disclosed herein are particularly beneficial for subjects lacking good bone structures for conventional crown treatments.
DENTAL IMPLANT DEVICE AND TECHNIQUE
A device for the replacement of missing bone and inadequate bone level, the device comprising: one or more implant blocks, shaped to fill in gaps in a jaw bone, the one or more implant blocks comprised of one or more layers characterized by a honeycomb-like structure, and one or more apertures separated by one or more raised crests; one or more screws; one or more tooth implants, the tooth implants shaped to fit in the one or more apertures of the one or more implant blocks, and having one or more internal holes in their base; one or more tooth abutments, the one or more tooth abutments including one or more members on a side complementary to the shape of the one or more internal holes of the one or more tooth implants, and a support structure; and one or more crowns, the one or more crowns shaped to fit over the support structure of the one or more tooth abutments.
MULTIPLE ROOT IMPLANT
A dental implant has a body and a plurality of distinct roots that extend outwardly from the main portion that generally define a coronal-apical axis. A porous tantalum metal portion is disposed at the body for engaging bone and the plurality of distinct roots are configured to resist a torsional force that is applied to the dental implant and around the coronal-apical axis.
BONE IMPLANT
Provided is an implant receiving apparatus (10) comprising a core (20), the core defining a first end (30) and a second end (40), a wall (50) comprising inner surface (60) and outer surface (70) and a centerline (80) extending centrally of and between the ends (30, 40), the size and shape of the core (20) defining a socket or cavity (90) adapted to receiving an implant engaging member (100), wherein the wall comprises at least one threaded bore (110) for engaging a screw retainer, the bore traversing through the wall from the inner surface to the outer surface. Also provided is an implant engaging member, an implant system comprising both an implant engaging member and implant receiving apparatus as well as kits comprising an implant receiving apparatus.
Implants for an artificial tooth
The present invention is to provide implants for an artificial tooth that does not require a period, for integration of implant bodies and a jawbone as in the background art, enables treatment even of a patient whose jawbone is small in bone amount or thickness, can reduce the treatment period and the number of times of treatment for many patients, and can lighten the mental and physical burden of a patient by minimizing the impact to the jawbone, and this invention is characterized by the following means, an artificial tooth, implant device with an arrangement where at least two implant bodies, each having a shaft portion, form a pair, a hook portion, hooked in a hook hole bored in a jawbone, is provided on the shaft portion of each implant body, the hook, portion is bent with respect to the shaft portion, and when the respective implant bodies are hooked onto the jawbone, tip portions of the hook portions are positioned so as to face each other inwardly, the arrangement being provided with a fixing means for fixing the implant bodies to each other.
DENTAL IMPLANT AND DENTAL IMPLANT SYSTEM
A dental implant includes an implant body with a coronally open cavity as well as at least one exit opening from an inside to the enossal outer surface. A thermoplastic element in the solid condition is arranged in the cavity or is introducible into the cavity and can be brought into an at least partly flowable condition by way of applying a pressing force, which is directed apically into the cavity, and mechanical oscillations and in this condition at least a share of the flowable material of the thermoplastic element can be pressed through the at least one exit opening into surrounding bone tissue on account of the pressing force, when the implant body is arranged in an opening in the bone tissue and the enossal outer surface is in contact with the bone tissue.
