A method of positioning a dental implant in a jaw bone using a piezoelectric cutting tool is provided. Ultrasonic vibration is generated with the piezoelectric cutting tool. The piezoelectric cutting tool is translated in a lateral direction to form a first cut into the jaw bone and to form a second cut into the jaw bone. The second cut intersects the first cut to define a multi-slotted aperture in the jaw bone for receiving at least one dental implant. The dental implant is inserted in the multi-slotted aperture from the lateral direction. |

A dental implant system comprises a base member that is adapted to be embedded within a patient's jawbone at a treatment site. The base member has a generally flat top defining an outer periphery, a buccal side, a lingual side, a bottom, and a central opening. The lingual side or the buccal side is longer than the other. The base member is configured to be positioned within a recess in the patient's jawbone. An implant screw comprises a head and a threaded end. The threaded end is adapted to pass through the central opening of the base member and into the patient's jawbone, and the head is adapted to be seated within the central opening of the base member after the threaded end is screwed into the patient's jawbone. An abutment is configured to be placed onto the top of the base member. |

A dental implant inserted into a jawbone in order to fasten a tooth replacement is characterized by a shape corresponding to two partially overlapping cylinder-like members (29, 30) that have significantly different diameters. The axis of symmetry (14) of the first member (29) having the larger diameter extends perpendicular to the cortical bone (4) of the jawbone, while the axis of symmetry (15) of the second member (30) having the smaller diameter is tilted by an acute angle relative to the axis of symmetry (14) of the first member (29). The point of intersection (2) between the axes of symmetry (14, 15) lies on the axis of symmetry of the first member (29), within or outside said member (29). |

A bone implant having a core section to which a prosthesis is eventually secured, and rib-like projections or anchoring prongs enhancing the hold of the implant in the bone. The invention is particularly, but not exclusively, intended as a dental implant. The socket for the implant is drilled in a bone using a suitable template which is subsequently inserted in an original pre-drilled bore and which serves as a guide for subsequent drilling of bores for the anchoring prongs or rib-like projections. Several different types of the templates are disclosed together with a number of compatible implants. A specific tool is also disclosed which reduces the damage to the bone by reducing the volume of the initial portion of the socket adapted to receive the associated template. |

Bone-adaptive surface structures are provided for lateral jaw implants. Micromechanical and/or macromechanical surface structures having various body forms are incorporated into selected segments of the surface of a base and of a bar that connects a shaft with the base to accelerate the healing process after the implant is inserted into the jaw bone and to make a critical improvement in holding the implant firmly in place without rotation. A process of manufacturing the surface structures includes forming a macromechanical surface on the implant to increase its surface area; and superimposing micromechanical canals on the macromechanical surface, the canals having a size smaller than the minimum size of the osteons in the bone into which the implant is to be inserted. |

The invention relates to an implant (1), particularly a jaw implant, which comprises several structural zones (5, 6, 12) made of a material which is non-resorbable, particularly from bones, for the implantation on bones or at least in the vicinity of bones. In an advantageous further embodiment of the implant, two or more of said structural zones (5, 6, 12) have respectively different material properties, in particular different physical properties such as different deformation and/or strength properties. The invention also relates to a method for determining load-dependent deformations in different bone regions, according to which X-ray images of the bone regions are taken with and without mechanical load for comparison. By comparing the X-ray images taken of the individual bone regions under or without load, the resulting deformation can be determined due to the applied load. |

A break point is provided in the abutment head above a bending zone. Key surfaces are above and below the break point. Solutions to ease adjustment of the inserted implant to the natural tooth position and which can reduce the danger of loosening of the inserted implant in the jawbone are coated on the implant. |

There is disclosed a plurality of extensions for dental implants allowing a dental surgeon to maintain a minimum number of parts in his trays to carry on an effective, successful practice, thus eliminating the need to carry the wide variety of parts offered and carried by surgeons to meet the needs of his practice. The surgeon is only required to carry two different parts, the basic implant body and also the extension that will match that particular implant body. With this combination of elements, the surgeon will be able to place many different implant lengths with a much reduced inventory and corresponding costs to the practitioner. |

A one-piece dental implant for endosteal and combined endosteal/subperiosteal osseointegration includes a force-transferring foot part for insertion into a jaw, the foot part including a frame in a closed geometric form having an interior open area and at least one bar connected with the frame and extending into the interior open area of the geometric form, said geometric form including at least a partial ring shape; a post that projects out of the jaw, said post connected with the foot part through the bar; and wherein a profile of the bar has a first height at a first transition region where it connects with the closed frame and a second height, which is greater than the first height, at a second transition region where it connects with the post, the height of the bar tapering from the second height to the first height. A method of inserting the disclosed one-piece dental implant for endosteal and combined endosteal/subperiosteal osseointegration into an alveolar bone with a vestibular side and a palatal side includes the steps of providing a one-piece dental implant having a force-transferring foot part for insertion into the alveolar bone and a post that projects out of the alveolar bone; inserting the dental implant into the vestibular side of the alveolar bone; securely engaging the dental implant in the palatal side of the alveolar bone, leaving a part of the dental implant protruding from the vestibular side of the alveolar bone; bending and adapting the protruding part of the dental implant to the vestibular side of the alveolar bone; and trimming extraneous parts of the dental implant. |

A dental endosseous implant (1) is disclosed which comprises an anchoring portion (2) with a male thread intended for fitting into a respective cavity formed in the upper or lower jaw. The anchoring portion (2) is then connected by an intermediate neck (6) to a head portion (3) adapted to emerge from the osseous tissue and to define an engagement region for a superstructure in turn adapted to receive and be coupled with a tooth crown for dental restoration. The head portion (3) is advantageously of cylindrical conformation and provided with an outer male thread for receiving and being removably coupled with the superstructure. Auxiliary grip holes (8) are provided at the anchoring portion (2) to enable disengagement of said anchoring portion even in case of breaking of the intermediate neck (6); finally, a push rod (9) is removably connected with an end (2c) of the anchoring portion itself (2). |
