Abstract
A multi-cortical implant anchor for use with a dental implant having a generally elongate shank and a grippable region formed at a predetermined portion thereof, the implant anchor comprises a first elongate member and a second elongate member connected therebetween via a bridge member to generally form a member having a longitudinal axis, the first elongate member and the second elongate member being adapted to lockably engage the grippable region of the dental implant against pivoting in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis.
Claims24
An implant device, comprising:
- a dental implant having a generally elongate shank and a grippable region formed at a predetermined portion thereof;
- and
- an anchor including a first elongate member and a second elongate member connected by a bridge member,
- said first elongate member and said second elongate member having inner confronting surfaces spaced from each other and constructed to lockably engage said grippable region of said dental implant against movement with respect to said anchor, with said elongate members extending transversely across said elongate shank, said elongate members being insertable into respective holes made laterally through the cortical jawbone and into a rear of the jawbone of a patient such that a portion of the confronting surfaces of the anchor is within a cavity in the jawbone while the bridge member of the anchor connecting the confronting surfaces remains outside the jaw bone, and wherein a coronal end portion of the dental implant is in a position which enables mounting a prosthesis thereon.
