A dental implant has a core manufactured in metal and a sleeve having an internal wall and nested by sliding on an upper part of the core in such a manner that the internal wall is located faced to that upper part of the core, which sleeve is manufactured from ceramic or Peek, a gap being left between the core and the internal wall of the sleeve in such a manner that an adhesive layer can be lodged in a space formed by the presence of that gap, wherein said gap has a distance situated between 5 and 30 μm, in particular between 10 and 20 μm.

Prosthetic dental device comprising a first axial-symmetric intraosseus component, or implant (11) and a second component, or abutment (12) configured to be connected on one side to the first intraosseus component (11) and to support, on another side, a prosthetic dental component.

A sensory unit for implant-supported dental implants or prostheses. The main unit is composed of two or more subunits, or devices. One of the units is placed in the region of the implant head, and will have the function of transforming the mechanical forces into an electrical signal. It can also be placed in the masticatory region of implant supported bridges or overdenture, to perform the same function, i.e., transforming mechanical loads into an electrical signal. A second unit, will receive by a wired or wireless electronic communication the electrical signal, and will convert it into a neurological stimulus perceived sensorially by the sensory endings of the trigeminal nerve, unilaterally, or bilaterally. This second unit will be arranged in the submucosa, in the vicinity of the nerve ending, taking advantage of the anatomical depressions or recesses in the region, and will establish a gradient of neurological stimulation towards the nerve ending.

Dental implants including radiopaque markers provided therein or thereon. The implant may also include customizable length characteristics. For example, a kit may include implants with different diameters (e.g., 3 diameters), where all of the implants are of a single (e.g., long) length. The appropriate diameter implant may be selected from the kit by the practitioner, and the long length implant may be cut (e.g., with a dental drill) to the appropriate length needed. The implants include radiopaque markers on or within the implant. For example, three series of markers may be provided on different “faces” of the implant, so that the three series of markers serve as reference points when scanning, allowing triangulation of the exact position of the implant in relation to the surrounding hard and soft oral tissues.

Embodiments of the present invention provide devices (tags), systems, and methods to determine structural integrity and other states of orthodontic-elements, such as orthodontic-brackets, orthodontic-archwires, orthodontic-expanders, orthodontic-elastic-bands, and orthodontic-power-chains, to name a few, in a non-invasive and contactless way, with respect to monitoring; and using comparatively safe and/or low energy electromagnetic radiation, such as radio waves. Negligible-sized backscatter-tags with sensors are implanted in or attached to such orthodontic-elements. Such arrangements may permit monitoring of forces acting on teeth by various orthodontic-elements. Using backscatter imaging technology, the structural integrity and other states of the orthodontic-elements may be monitored; which may allow non-invasive and contactless detection of problems such as cracking, bending, excessive pressure, improper temperature, and/or the like. Additionally, initially unknown locations of the implanted negligible-sized backscatter-tags with sensors may be readily determined upon a given scanning (reading) session; and thus mapped to provide an effective image of the orthodontic-elements.

A combined assembly for dental prosthesis is provided, wherein the combined assembly includes a first joint member and a second joint member. The first joint member has a first body and a plurality of elastic hooks, and the elastic hooks are annularly arranged to connect one end of the first body, wherein a slot is disposed between the adjacent elastic hooks, and each of the hook has a top portion protruding outward. The second joint member has a second body, and the second body is provided with a joint hole, a side wall surface of which is provided with a ring groove, wherein the elastic hooks extend into the joint holes, and the top portions of the elastic hooks engage into the ring groove.

The present invention relates to a dental implant analog, an implant analog kit comprising the dental implant analog, the combination of a physical model of a set of a patient's teeth and the dental implant analog and a method of positioning a dental implant analog into a physical model of a set of a patient's teeth.

The present invention relates to a system and method for dental implant and restorative services. By locating the key functions at one physical location, dental implant services are efficiently provided to patients. These functions include a treatment coordinator, a direct marketer, a restorative doctor/prosthodontist, a surgeon, an imaging area, and a dental laboratory, Further, services for dentate patients are improved by utilizing advanced dental implant methods and systems. These methods and systems include both model-based services and CT (computed tomography) guided surgery services. Using these services, improved surgical guides for dental implants are constructed.

Devices and methods to perform measurements of body analytes, like glucose, using a bone implant and/or a dental implant and/or a jawbone implant and an analyte measuring component. The dental implant can have a protruding component that protrudes to the oral cavity for many years and therefore enable long-term handling of the analyte measuring component and long-term monitoring of the analyte. The new device enables for example, to replace at least part of the analyte measuring component, to replace materials of the analyte measuring component and the energy source of the device without surgery.

An external drive apparatus for bendable collar implants includes a male fastener and a female driver. The male fastener is constructed as a rigid and integral unity including an implant screw, a collar, and a male screw-top drive. The female driver supports a female screw-top drive. The female driver is configured for application of an implantation torque to the implant screw via the male screw-top drive which is disposed distally away from the collar.
