Abstract
An abutment assembly for dental implants comprising only prefabricated components, which comprises an interface element which is insertable within the interior of an endosseous implant and positionable in abutting relation with the endosseous implant; a coupling element connected to the interface element; an abutment which is engageable with the coupling element and coronally spaced from the interface element, and a screw threadedly engageable with the implant and securable to the abutment, such that one or more dimensions of the coupling element are selectable in accordance with dimensions of an extraction socket associated with the implant, and a disposition of the abutment with respect to the implant is intraorally adjustable.
Claims27
An abutment assembly for dental implants comprising only prefabricated components, said abutment assembly comprising an interface element insertable within the interior of, and positionable in abutting relation with, an endosseous implant, a coupling element connected to said interface element, an abutment engageable with said coupling element and coronally spaced from said interface element, and a screw threadedly engageable with said implant and securable to said abutment, wherein one or more dimensions of said coupling element are selectable in accordance with dimensions of an extraction socket associated with said implant and a disposition of said abutment with respect to said implant is intraorally adjustable.
A dental implant, comprising a core that is gradually reduced in diameter from a coronal portion to an apical end and spiral threads protruding radially from said core, wherein said threads are obliquely disposed such that they point apically at an angle with respect to a transverse plane ranging from 15 to 25 degrees, in order to induce increased bone density and osseointegration in the vicinity of said threads as a result of pressure applied thereby onto the adjacent bone tissue.
