Abstract
Methods and dental implants provide dental possibility to reconstruct the atrophic and/or dystrophic jaw bones without jaw bone surgical replacements. Dental implant installation to the vertically and/or horizontally deformed jaw bones is provided by the screws, and the bent dental implants are used for the high degree horizontally deformed jaw bones.
Claims5
A method for dental implant installation comprising the steps of:
- providing an opening in a patient's gum tissue;
- providing a visual inspection of the patient's jaw bone for evaluation of a degree of a horizontal atrophy and a horizontal dystrophy of a horizontally deformed portion of said jaw bone;
- selecting a dental implant appropriate for a coupling with said jaw bone comprising a truncate cylindrical portion having a longitudinal axis, the truncate cylindrical portion including an upper cylindrical portion for connection with a desired crown or denture, and a lower cylindrical portion extending from the upper cylindrical portion;
- said lower cylindrical portion having an upper aperture extending transverse to said longitudinal axis for receiving a first screw;
- and a flat portion extending from the lower cylindrical portion of the truncated cylindrical portion and coaxial with the longitudinal axis of said truncate cylindrical portion, said flat portion including lower aperture for receiving a second screw;
- inserting through said opening in said gum tissue the selected dental implant;
- affixing said selected dental implant to said jaw bone by inserting said first and second screws through said upper aperture and said lower aperture;
- inserting artificial bone material through said opening;
- closing said opening;
- installing the desired crown or desired denture directly to said dental implant or through an intermediate abutment.

A dental implant comprising:
- a truncate cylindrical portion having a longitudinal axis, the truncate cylindrical portion including an upper cylindrical portion for connection with a desired crown or denture, and a lower cylindrical portion extending from the upper cylindrical portion;
- said lower cylindrical portion having an upper aperture extending transverse to said longitudinal axis for receiving a first screw that couples said truncate cylindrical portion of said dental implant through said upper aperture to a jaw bone along an axis of said upper aperture;
- and
- a flat portion extending from the lower cylindrical portion of the truncated cylindrical portion and coaxial with the longitudinal axis of said truncate cylindrical portion, said flat portion including a lower aperture for receiving a second screw that couples said flat portion of said dental implant through said lower aperture to said jaw bone along an axis of said lower aperture.
