A dental implant assembly (200) configured to be positioned in an osteotomy cavity formed in a patient's jawbone. Abase member (204) of the implant is positioned into the cavity. The base member serves as a platform to secure an abutment member (202) of the implant that in turn receives a dental restoration, such as a crown or denture.

This invention specially refers to a dental implant detector using constant current source and its detecting method, which falls within the scope of anti-interference, high-sensitivity dental implant detection. It is composed of the detecting sensor, the detecting sensor socket and the implant locator. The detecting sensor socket is connected with the detecting sensor and the implant locator at two ends respectively. The detecting sensor is built with a PCB base and detecting coils mounted on the layer and plane of the PCB base. The involute racetrack copper coil on the plane of the PCB base is smaller than that on the layer by 0.1 mm both laterally and longitudinally. The implant locator is built mainly with a CPU with power supply, a constant voltage module, a status display control module and a frequency conversion module. The detector, highly sensitive, easy to operate and very accurate for location, has solved the problems like time-consuming, inaccuracy and slowness of traditional detection method. With it, the dentists are able to find the dental implant quickly and accurately before the operation, which helps reduce incidence of medical accidents.

Two part implant for attachment of artificial teeth comprising a base body having a bone contact surface and a soft tissue contact surface. The soft tissue contact surface is at least partially hydroxylated or silanated which results in an improved soft tissue integration.

A dental implant system including a dental implant (1) and an associated implant analog (50), the implant extending along a longitudinal axis (L1) from an apical end (101) to a coronal end (102) and having an external surface for anchoring and osseointegrating in bone, a coronal end portion (105) having abutment connection geometry for cooperating with an abutment which can be seated in one or more defined positions on the implant, the abutment connection geometry having a coronally facing abutment contact surface (128) which extends around the full circumference of the implant, and in use directly contacts the abutment and provides a stop defining the axial location of the abutment relative to the implant, the coronal end portion further having a coronally facing prosthesis contact surface (129) located radially beyond the abutment contact surface, the prosthesis contact surface being a continuous surface extending around the full circumference of the implant.

A dental implant, and a manufacturing method for the same. The dental implant includes a form in which, in order to increase the strength of the connection between a metallic abutment and a dental prosthesis, the abutment and the prosthesis are integrally connected, wherein the prosthesis and the abutment are integrally connected to each other by means of a forming method.

A dental implant body includes a ceramics sintered body, and the ceramics sintered body is a porous body having blind/continuous holes formed from a surface of the ceramics sintered body and walls formed by the blind/continuous holes. The porosity of the blind/continuous holes may be 50±10%. Further, the diameter of the blind/continuous hole may be equal to or greater than 50 μm and equal to or smaller than 190 μm.

Described are ready-to-use injectable compositions comprising polymeric microspheres or microparticles of non-animal origin, a hydrogel comprising water and a cellulose-derivative gelling agent, and polysorbate 80. Further described are methods of using the ready-to-use injectable compositions for reparative or plastic surgery, esthetic dermatology, facial contouring, body contouring, and gingival augmentation.

The invention relates to dental field, more specifically in the field of periodontics, and describes the construction and working of a modular gum architecture device made of inert, biocompatible, bone-integrable and/or absorbable material to replace in part or totally the lost alveolar bone and restore the anatomy of the gum around the tooth or implant. The device may recreate the region of the interdental papilla or may fill in empty spaces caused by protocol-type prostheses (fixed dentures). It can also serve as support for teeth already softened or softening, for implants already installed or even for implants to be installed.

Methods and apparatus for transmitting vibrations via an electronic and/or transducer assembly through a tooth or teeth are disclosed herein. The assembly may be attached, adhered, or otherwise embedded into or upon a removable oral appliance to form a hearing aid assembly. Such an oral appliance may be a custom-made device. The electronic and transducer assembly may receive incoming sounds either directly or through a receiver to process and amplify the signals and transmit the processed sounds via a vibrating transducer element coupled to a tooth or other bone structure, such as the maxillary, mandibular, or palatine bone structure.

A dental implant includes a body and a thread. The body has a central axis, a coronal end, and an apical end. The thread is coupled to the body. The thread has a coronal facing surface, an apical facing surface, and a crest surface positioned between the coronal facing surface and the apical facing surface. The coronal facing surface of the thread has a plurality of steps formed therein.
