Dental screw

Abstract

Dental screw which can be inserted into a cavity of a patient's maxillary and/or mandibular bone, including a terminal portion that can be inserted into the cavity so as to fit within it and so as to engage a side wall thereof. The dental screw further includes a cervical portion, configured to engage an artificial tooth structure, and a central portion extending longitudinally between the terminal portion and the cervical portion. The central portion is shaped as a porous structure, particularly as a trabecular structure, to promote an intraosseous regrowth process. The dental screw is further characterised in that the terminal portion, the central portion and the cervical portion are made from a single piece.
