| 20120070802 | Dental implant fabrication and insertion methods and personalized dental implant for use therein - Dental implant fabrication and insertion methods and a personalized dental implant for use in such methods. Such a personalized dental implant is prefabricated by a computer-operated milling machine using a computer model generated using digital images taken of a dental patient's natural tooth in situ. After the natural tooth is extracted from the dental patient's mouth, the personalized dental implant is immediately inserted into the socket created by the extraction. Insertion of this dental implant immediately after the extraction obviates the need for multiple oral surgeries, avoids delicate structures, and is less invasive. Moreover, since this dental implant is custom fitted for the socket, osseointegration is expedited and the risk of bone collapse is reduced. | 03-22-2012 |

An example of a dental prosthesis includes a first manufactured portion having a surface shaped to substantially dimensionally conform three dimensionally to an undersized shape of the outer three-dimensional surface shape of a root of a tooth to be replaced, and a second manufactured portion shaped to substantially conform to the three-dimensional surface of a crown of the tooth. The outer surface of the root portion can include or be coated with a biocompatible material that is suitable to be integrated into the extraction socket and adopted by existing tissue forming the socket. | 09-19-2013 |
| 20130288202 | SOFT TISSUE PRESERVATION TEMPORARY (SHELL) IMMEDIATE-IMPLANT ABUTMENT WITH BIOLOGICAL ACTIVE SURFACE - An immediate dental implant shell has outer, multiple zones for engaging a soft tissue socket left immediately after tooth extraction from a bone socket. The zones have combinations of different biologic agents, macro- or micro-geometric, or micro- or macro-morphology irregularities to better engage gingival sulcus, junctional epithelium and dento-gingival fiber zones of the soft tissue socket. The shell may also have various guide markings and projections to aide drilling of the implant hole in the bone socket. A dental implant is placed in the drilled implant hole before or after the shell has been placed in the soft tissue socket, and has an axis that is independent of the shell axis so the shell and implant both sit in optimum positions in their respective soft and bone sockets. | 10-31-2013 |
| 20140038134 | Custom dental implants, systems, devices and methods - The invention concerns an anatomically shaped dental implant section custom shaped to fit the tooth socket of a particular individual and having a ridge circumferentially located that is complementary in size and location to a notch prepared in the tooth socket.
