Abstract
A dental implant that facilitate insertion and can be used in all bone types. The implant includes a body having a coronal end, and an apical end opposite the coronal end. A tapered region may be adjacent the apical end. On the apical part one or more taps are provided so the tap is cutting when rotating, clockwise and counter-clockwise. The implant can have at least one variable profile helical thread that extends along the tapered region. The implant can have also micro-threads below the main threads, a gradual compressing tapered core, a self drilling apical end and a narrow coronal region.
Claims20
A method for inserting a dental implant inside a jawbone comprising:
- a) preparing an osteotomy inside said jawbone;
- b) starting inserting said dental implant inside said osteotomy, said dental implant has a body having a coronal part and an apical part that are continuous with one another, said apical part has a core and at least two external threads having a thread pitch of at least 1.5 mm extending along said core, said coronal part being located coronally to said at least two external threads, at least part of said coronal part being an intra-bony coronal part, an external surface of said intra-bony coronal part and an external surface of said apical part are both being a rough external surface configured to be in contact with said jawbone, said coronal part has an internal cavity for receiving a prosthetic element, said apical part has a first tap and a second tap that both extend from an apical end of said apical part coronally along more than a half of an apical-coronal length of said body while crossing said at least two external threads, at least part of said first tap when viewed from a first side elevation view perspective, in which said coronal part being above said apical part, has a right side of said first tap and a left side of said first tap that both extend from said external surface of said apical part towards the inside of said apical part, at least part of said second tap when viewed from a second side elevation view perspective, in which said coronal part being above said apical part, has a right side of said second tap and a left side of said second tap that both extend from said external surface of said apical part towards the inside of said apical part, said right side of said first tap forms a right edge of said first tap with said external surface of said apical part, said left side of said first tap forms a left edge of said first tap with said external surface of said apical part, said right side of said second tap forms a right edge of said second tap with said external surface of said apical part, said left side of said second tap forms a left edge of said second tap with said external surface of said apical part, wherein at least part of said right edge of said first tap has an angle of less than 90 degrees between said right side of said first tap forming said right edge of said first tap and said external surface of said apical part, at least part of said left edge of said second tap has an angle of less than 90 degrees between said left side of said second tap forming said left edge of said second tap and said external surface of said apical part;
- c) at least part of said inserting said dental implant is done by rotating said dental implant clockwise so said at least part of said right edge of said first tap having an angle of less than 90 degrees cuts said jawbone;
- d) when a predetermined resistance to rotation is reached during said rotating said dental implant clockwise then rotating said dental implant several turns counterclockwise so said at least part of said left edge of said second tap having an angle of less than 90 degrees cuts said jawbone;
- e) after said rotating said dental implant several turns counterclockwise then rotating said dental implant clockwise again;
- f) continuing said inserting said dental implant until said intra-bony coronal part being inside said jawbone.
