A dental implant with improved cuffing distal end for preventing the implant from stagnating along a bone socket during implantation includes an implant body having a head for receiving a dental prosthesis and a root for anchoring into a bone of a patient; wherein the root is truncated at a distal portion thereof to form an inclined sharp cutting face.
Claims9
A dental implant with improved cutting distal end for preventing the implant from stagnating along a bone socket during implantation, the implant comprising:
- an elongated implant body having a head at an upper proximal end of the implant body for receiving a dental prosthesis and a root extending distally below the head for anchoring into a bone of a patient;
- an inclined sharp cutting face in a truncated distal portion of the root, with the inclined sharp cutting face extending diagonally across the root, from a distal end of the root at one longer side of the root to an opposite shorter side of the root;
- an upper cutting groove extending partially along the shorter side of the root, outside the cutting face, and partially in the cutting face, and
- a bottom cutting groove extending partially along the longer side of the root, outside the cutting face, and partially in the cutting face, with the bottom cutting groove extending at a level below the upper cutting groove.
