Abstract
A dental implant system and method for effecting a dental restoration using the same.
Claims41
A dental implant system comprising:
- an implant fixture adapted to be deployed in a bone;
- an impression coping adapted to be selectively deployed on said implant fixture and in a dental impression;
- a laboratory analog adapted to be selectively deployed on said impression coping and in a dental cast;
- a spherical abutment adapted to be selectively deployed on said laboratory analog;
- and
- a multiaxis abutment adapted to be adjustably deployed on said spherical abutment.
A method for effecting a dental restoration, said method comprising:
- providing a dental implant system comprising:
- an implant fixture adapted to be deployed in a bone;
- an impression coping adapted to be selectively deployed on said implant fixture and in a dental impression;
- a laboratory analog adapted to be selectively deployed on said impression coping and in a dental cast;
- a spherical abutment adapted to be selectively deployed on said laboratory analog;
- and
- a multiaxis abutment adapted to be adjustably deployed on said spherical abutment;
- positioning said implant fixture in said bone;
- positioning said impression coping on said implant fixture;
- making a dental impression of said impression coping and the surrounding portions of the patient's mouth;
- removing the dental impression, with said impression coping attached thereto, from the patient's mouth;
- positioning said laboratory analog on said impression coping;
- making a cast of said laboratory analog and a portion of said impression coping;
- removing the dental impression from said impression coping;
- removing said impression coping from said laboratory analog;
- positioning said spherical abutment in said laboratory analog;
- positioning said multiaxis abutment on said spherical abutment and angling said multiaxis abutment atop said spherical abutment to the extent required for the dental restoration;
- securing said multiaxis abutment in its angled position atop said spherical abutment;
- generating a permanent abutment from the combined spherical abutment/multiaxis abutment;
- positioning said permanent abutment in said laboratory analog;
- generating a prosthetic tooth for said permanent abutment;
- and
- removing said permanent abutment from said laboratory analog and positioning said permanent abutment on said implant fixture.
