Abstract
The present invention relates to novel endosseous implants, which are designed so that the areas intended for bone soft tissue apposition exhibit a scalloped appearance, including both convex and concave patterns, to follow the naturally occurring bone morphology. Thus, the disclosed implants provide attachment possibilities for both bone and soft tissue, thereby effecting both hard- and soft-tissue preservation.
Claims26
An endosseous dental implant, comprising:
- a shaft made from a biocompatible material, said shaft having a distal end and a proximal end;
- an abutment-implant interface disposed towards the proximal end of said shaft;
- and
- a bone-tissue apposition surface formed on said shaft and disposed adjacent to said abutment-implant interface, said bone-tissue apposition surface including at least one peak and trough configured to approximate the physiological contours of naturally occurring bone-tissue morphology.
1 more element
A one-stage endosseous dental implant, comprising:
- a shaft made from a biocompatible material, said shaft having a distal end and a proximal end;
- a bone-tissue apposition surface formed on said shaft and disposed adjacent to said abutment-implant interface, said bone-tissue apposition surface including at least one peak and trough configured to approximate the physiological contours of naturally occurring bone-tissue morphology;
- and
- an abutment permanently attached to the proximal end of said shaft.
1 more element
A two-stage endosseous dental implant system, comprising:
- a shaft made from a biocompatible material, said shaft having a distal end and a proximal end;
- a bone-tissue apposition surface formed on said shaft and disposed adjacent to said abutment-implant interface, said bone-tissue apposition surface including at least one peak and trough configured to approximate the physiological contours of naturally occurring bone-tissue morphology;
- an abutment-implant interface disposed towards the proximal end of said shaft;
- an abutment configured to attach to said abutment-implant interface;
- a means for connecting said abutment to said abutment-implant interface;
- and
- a crown having a distal end configured to fit over said abutment.
