Abstract
An improved screw-type implant is designed to be in dynamic equilibrium relative to forces generated at the implant site for bone lamination and osteocompression within physiologic limits. The threads of a selected implant vary in size and pitch relative to the modulus of elasticity for a particular bone region where the implant is to be placed together with a mechanical apparatus for abutment splinting and for an immediate clinical implant fixation.
Claims17
A method of providing implant support within a jaw bone of an individual, comprising the steps of selecting a specific screw-type implant with rounded threads for a particular mandibular and maxillary region for bone lamination and osteocompression within physiologic limits, said specific screw-type implant having an increased thread pitch for weaker bone regions having lesser value of modulus of elasticity of jaw bone compared with those implants having a smaller thread pitch selected for stronger bone regions, and implanting said specific rounded thread, screw-type implant in said stronger bone regions.
A system of providing implant support within a jaw bone of an individual, comprising a plurality of selected and specific screw-type implants with rounded threads for particular mandibular and maxillary regions for bone lamination, one of said select and specific screw-type implants having an increased thread pitch for weaker bone regions having a lesser value of modulus of elasticity of jaw bone compared with those of said plurality of selected and specific implants designed for stronger bone regions.
A method of introducing a threaded implant of given size and thread pitch into a jaw of an individual, comprising the steps of:
- a) examining the jaw of an individual to determine a particular bone region requiring an implant;
- (b) matching the particular size and thread pitch of said implant to a particular bone region to excite the osteoblast cells to lay down new bone formation as determined in step (a);
- and
- (c) threading said matched implant of step (b) into the particular bone region of step (a), resulting in physiologic controlled stimulation and immediate bone lamination.
