Abstract
The present invention relates in general to the field of implant dentistry, namely to to a hybrid two-part dental implant made of biocompatible ceramics and a biocompatible synthetic material, wherein said two-part medicinal device provides a basis for a crown or superstructure, which is easy to handle by a dentist. The present invention furthermore relates to the use of abutments made of biocompatible synthetic material in connection with dental implants made of biocompatible ceramics for dental prosthetics.
Claims23
A hybrid two-part dental implant comprising:
- (i) a dental implant made of biocompatible ceramics comprising an outer threaded part and a contact region for contacting the contact region of an abutment, wherein said contact region comprises an indentation or protrusion suitable to insert a protrusion or to be inserted into an indentation of said abutment, wherein the contact surface of said indentation or protrusion with said protrusion or indentation is essentially free of threaded parts and wherein said contact region further comprises securing means in the form of a multifaced protrusion or indentation preventing rotation of an engaged abutment, and
- (ii) an abutment made of a biocompatible synthetic material, comprising a prosthetic head and a contact region for contacting said contact region of said dental implant, wherein said contact region comprises a protrusion or indentation suitable to be inserted into an indentation or suitable to insert a protrusion comprised in said contact region of said dental implant, wherein said contact region further comprises securing means in the form of a multifaced protrusion or indentation preventing rotation of said abutment with respect to said dental implant, if engaged with said securing means.
A hybrid two-part dental implant comprising:
- (i) a dental implant made of biocompatible ceramics comprising an outer threaded part and a contact region for contacting the contact region of an abutment, wherein said contact region comprises an indentation suitable to insert a screw, wherein the contact surface of said indentation with said screw comprises a threaded part and wherein said contact region further comprises securing means in the form of a multifaced protrusion or indentation preventing rotation of an engaged abutment, and
- (ii) an abutment made of a biocompatible synthetic material, comprising a prosthetic head and a contact region for contacting the contact region of said dental implant and a bore extending through-said prosthetic head and through the contact region, suitable to insert a screw into said dental implant, wherein said contact region further comprises securing means in the form of a multifaced protrusion or indentation preventing rotation of said abutment with respect to said dental implant, if engaged with said securing means.
A method for dental implantation, comprising implanting a dental abutment made of a biocompatible synthetic material in combination with a dental implant made of biocompatible ceramics into a jaw bone of a subject in need of treatment.
