摘要:
A device for retaining and delivering dental implant components includes a retainer-delivery member which may be pivotally attached to a handle member and selectively detached therefrom. The retainer-delivery member has a plurality of multi-sized stepped down portions for hands-off insertion into, and frictional engagement with various dental implant components. The retainer-delivery member can retain one or more of the components for delivery to the implant site and can be manipulated for initial connection to the implant.
摘要:
A self-tapping dental implant that is fully coated by hydroxylapatite. The dental implant includes a proximal end having a tool engaging region, a self-tapping distal end, and a generally cylindrical middle region that connects the two ends. The distal end, the middle region, and the self-tapping features are fully covered by a hydroxylapatite coating.
摘要:
An implant and a process for treating the same wherein the implant has a highly pure coating of crystalline hydroxylapatite (HA). The implant is initially coated with HA using a plasma spraying technique and is then subjected to a two stage process, including a hydrothermal treatment stage and a leaching stage. The resulting implant is highly crystalline, containing only a small percentage of amorphous calcium phosphate and essentially being free of calcium hydroxide, calcium oxide, and calcium carbonate.
摘要:
A dental implant (10) for osseointegration in alveolar bone. The implant includes an annular shoulder (18) and a plurality of splines (32) extending axially therefrom for interdigitated engagement with similar splines of an abutment for supporting a tooth prosthesis. The bone-engaging surface (22) of the implant includes a biocompatible porous metal surface (24) into which bone can grow, an intermediate non-porous, rough, biocompatible metal surface (26) to which bone can attach that is located between the porous surface and the annular shoulder, and a smooth, non-porous biocompatible metal surface (28) located between the intermediate surface and the annular shoulder.
摘要:
A self-tapping dental implant for implantation into bone. The implant includes multiple flutes disposed around the tapping end. Each flute has a helical configuration. During tapping, bone chips are directed upwardly and away from the tapping end.
摘要:
A self-tapping dental implant includes a body which is substantially covered by random surface roughening without adversely affecting the cutting edge and thus the amount of torque needed to thread the implant into bone tissue. During the surface treatment process, the cutting edges of the implant are shielded from the roughening treatment.
摘要:
A vial for a dental implant delivery system. The vial includes a clip and a lid that is permanently attached to the body of the vial. The lid disengages from the top of the vial when the body of the vial is squeezed.
摘要:
A dental implant delivery system comprising a vial having two cavities. One cavity in the body of the vial houses an implant and a driver mount, and the other cavity in the lid of the vial houses a healing screw.
摘要:
A self-tapping dental implant includes a body which is substantially covered by a random surface roughening without adversely affecting the cutting edge and thus the amount of torque needed to thread the implant into bone tissue. During the surface treatment process, the cutting edges of the implant are covered with a removable shield. The shield may engage the implant through openings on either side of the cutting edge. The shield is adaptable for use with implants having multiple cutting edges since the shield may include a plurality of arms connected by a base. The shield may be snapped onto the distal end of the implant.
