Abstract:
Proposed is a device for connecting an implant (1) to a conical secondary element (800), the device being characterized in that the conical pillar (830) has, running radially round it, a circular shoulder (860) which lies on part of the shoulder (14) of the implant while the rest of the surface of the implant shoulder (14) is occupied by the facing shoulder (301) on the impression cap (300) or crown cap. The shoulder (860) on the conical pillar and the shoulder (301) on the impression cap or crown cap are shaped so that they match the shoulder (14) on the implant. The device is particularly suitable for use with a novel plug connector. Other advantages are the high precision obtainable in the work of the dental technician without the need for costly manufacturing techniques.
Abstract:
A dental implant for installation into a mouth is disclosed. The implant includes a one piece implant body (10) to which is attached an abutment portion (40) for anchoring a denture or tooth replacement. The implant body includes a tapered apical portion (22) and a coronal portion (24) having a keyway (30). The abutment portion (40) includes a key (42) which mates with the keyway to form a non-rotational joint. In one aspect of the invention, the abutment portion is cemented into the keyway. In another aspect of the invention the key is tapped in to the keyway to form a cold weld. There is also shown a method of installing a dental implant which includes press fitting the implant body into a preformed tapered bore at the implant site.
Abstract:
The improvement of the present invention pertains to a frustoconical abutment (20 and 20') intended to overcome the problem of the implant's (I) lack of parallelism. The abutment (20 and 20') can be of the Allen-driven type or the through-screw type. Both engage with an implant (I) ranging from partially to totally inserted below the gingival margin. The abutment (20 and 20') of the Allen-driven type includes a threaded cavity (22) that receives a threaded member (M) of a prosthesis (P). The through-screw abutment (20 and 20') includes a threaded through-opening that also receives the threaded member (M) of a prosthesis (P). The frustoconical abutment (20 and 20') permits a dentist to reduce the mass to end up with a resulting shape that will correct the lack of parallelism typically created by misaligned implants (I) and allowing for more aesthetic form which mimics a natural tooth shape. This is particularly helpful when part of the implant's (I) end protrudes from the gingival margin instead of submerged below it.
Abstract:
A dental implant system includes an implant (16) having its external geometry proportioned for securement within a human mandible. A junction between the implant (16) and a complemental abutment (18) of a dental prosthesis includes a journal defined by two bearing surfaces respectively preceding and following a threaded part of the junction. A longitudinal internal bore (22) of the implant (16) begins at a proximal open-end of the implant (16) and extends to a closed distal end. The bore includes the threaded part (25) of the junction and is of substantially uniform diameter and pitch. A distal end (24) of the bore defines one of the bearing surfaces and a proximal end (26) of said bore defines the other bearing surface. The abutment (18) of the dental prosthesis includes a male element (20) which is complemental in all respects to the threaded portion of the bore and the bearing surfaces internal to the bore of the implant.
Abstract:
The implant (1) comprises a cylindrical shaft with a smooth head (2) ending in a threaded rod (3), with a nominal diameter equal to the diameter of the head (2). The head includes a hollow mould (4) with a flat bottom forming a radial bearing, and lateral surfaces set parallel to the axis. The cross section of the mould (4) consists of eight segments, each spanning a 45 DEG angular sector centred on the shaft axis. The segments are alternately chords (such as 41) and arcs (such as 45, 46) of a circumscribed circle. The mould (4) is extended by an axial threaded blind channel (5). The mould (4) is designed to receive, without rotational play, a complementary cusp of a prothetic tooth structure obtained by replicating a model made from a calcinable material. The form of the mould chosen provides for an improved resistance to the walls of the mould and cusp and for the rectification of the flat faces of the cusp's structure, with reference to the circumscribed cylinder.
Abstract:
An abutment (26) and method of its use are disclosed for securing dental appliances of other physiological appliances having a wide variety of configurations to an implant (16) mounted in a bony substrate, the abutment (26) including an indexing element means (36) forming an abutment surface (34) surrounding the indexing element (36) and separate threaded attachment for the appliance, either integrally with the implant (16) or on an abutment (26) attachable to the implant (16), the indexing element (36) being formed with a cylindrical taper (40) extending outwardly from the abutment surface (34) and one or more, preferably six, planar facets (42) intersecting the tapered surface adjacent the abutment surface (34) but with portions of the tapered surface (46) intermediate the facets (42) extending substantially toward the abutment surface (34). The tapered surface (40) is preferably in the range of about ten to thirty degrees, more preferably about thirteen to seventeen degrees, relative to an axis of the indexing element (36), the overall axial length of the indexing element (36) preferably being at least about 0.020 inches, more preferably in the range of about 0.030-0.100 inches.
