Abstract
A dental implant having two distinct regions, a coronal region and a bone fixation region. The coronal region has a smooth transgingival section and an interface for connecting to a dental component. The bone fixation region has an elongated cylindrical shape and is formed as a porous structure that extends completely through the bone fixation region.
Claims20
A dental implant, comprising:
- a coronal body extending from a proximal end to a distal end and formed of a biocompatible metal having a transgingival section and an interface at the proximal end that is adapted to connect to a dental component;
- and
- a bone fixation body extending from a proximal end to a distal end and formed of a completely porous structure from the proximal to distal ends, the proximal end of the bone fixation body connected to the distal end of the coronal body.
A dental implant, comprising:
- a coronal body formed of a non-porous biocompatible metal having a smooth outer transgingival section and one end adapted to connect to a dental component;
- and
- a bone fixation body having one end connected to the coronal body and being formed of a completely porous structure throughout the entire bone fixation body.
A dental implant, comprising:
- a coronal body formed of a non-porous machined metal having a smooth outer transgingival section with one end adapted to connect to a dental component;
- and
- a bone fixation body having an elongated generally cylindrical shape with one end connected to the coronal body and being formed of a completely porous structure throughout the entire bone fixation body.
