Abstract: A dental prosthesis and a process for design and manufacturing, incorporating an overdenture and a dental implant framework that will be designed and manufactured simultaneously.

Abstract: An improved method of a dental framework design and manufacturing, incorporating a dental framework design volume to eliminate framework or denture teeth modification post framework manufacturing.

Abstract: A dental prosthesis and a process for design and manufacturing, incorporating a dental implant framework and veneering overlay that will be designed and manufactured simultaneously and permanently fixated to one another.

Abstract: The present disclosure reveals a provisional dental restoration for use at the time of dental implant surgery and while the permanent long-term restoration is being fabricated and implants are healing, which aids in the surgical process and selection of potential abutments at the time of surgery. Also revealed is a new digitally designed impression prosthesis from which the doctor is able of capturing the occlusal record, an impression of the soft tissue and critical aspects of the tooth position and orientation in a single procedure.

Abstract: A method of preparing a dental framework or mathematical model thereof includes creating a replica of a patient's mouth or a framework to be inserted into the patient's mouth, electronically scanning the replica or framework, electronically determining a surface model of a dental framework and manufacturing the framework.

Abstract: An oral implant for mounting in a patient's maxilla or mandible is provided that includes an abutment and a fixture. The implants may be arranged in a system including two or more adjacent implants disposed in predetermined locations and bearing a predetermined locational relationship to each other.

Abstract: A unitary dental implant in the form of an elongate member has an upper abutment portion and a lower fixture portion. An axially extending and upwardly facing planar surface is defined between the abutment portion and the fixture portion.

Abstract: A biocompatible form and a method for fabricating the implant are provided. The biocompatible form may be used to support bone graft material such as that used to reconstruct missing bone in a patient's oral cavity. The implant is fabricated from a biocompatible mesh, which may be made of titanium, a titanium alloy or fiber and is permanently implantable in the patient's oral cavity. The biocompatible form has an anatomical configuration which includes one or more portions conforming substantially to various alveolar bone contours which may include predetermined, human interproximal bone contours, root prominence bone contours and mylohyoid ridge bone contours. The biocompatible form may include a palatal section. The biocompatible form may also include one or more apertures for receiving a corresponding number of dental prostheses therethrough.

Abstract: A method for using a tissue contourer includes making an incision in the oral cavity, inserting a tissue contourer in the incision; expanding the tissue contourer; removing the tissue contourer; and replacing the tissue contourer with an oral implant.

Abstract: A tissue contourer for contouring mucosal tissue in preparation for dental implantation or grafting includes a central portion configured to abut an edentulous portion of a maxilla or mandible and configured to contour mucosal tissue overlying the edentulous portion.
