Abstract
The present invention entails an implant for insertion into the alveolar bone of a patient and wherein the implant is provided with a generally vertically projecting anchoring pin that extends from the implant into the alveolar bone of the patient and effectively interconnects the implant with the alveolar bone. Moreover, the present invention entails a method or process of implanting a dental implant including directly implanting an implant into the extraction cavity after a tooth has been extracted therefrom. As a part of this process, prior to actually implanting, the extraction cavity is reamed so as to be compatible with an optimum size and shaped implant selected from a group of standard implants.
Claims13
A dental implant comprising:
- an implant for insertion into the alveolar bone of a patient, a generally vertically projecting anchoring pin for interconnecting the implant with the alveolar bone of the patient;
- and wherein the implant includes a threaded portion having a set of segmented quick-turn threads designed to anchor the implant within the alveolar bone.
A dental implant comprising:
- an implant for insertion into the alveolar bone of a patient and a generally vertically projecting anchoring pin for interconnecting the implant with the alveolar bone of the patient;
- and wherein the implant includes upper and lower portions with the upper portion including an offset portion that projects outwardly with respect to the lower portion, and wherein the anchoring pin projects downwardly from the offset portion and into the alveolar bone of the patient.
A dental implant comprising:
- an implant for insertion into the alveolar bone of the patient;
- the implant including an upper opening for receiving a false tooth, prosthesis, or other abutment;
- an anchoring pin throughbore extending from the upper opening through the implant such that the throughbore is accessible from the upper opening;
- and an anchoring pin accessible through the upper opening and projecting through the throughbore for extending into the alveolar bone and anchoring the implant.
