Publication number: 20210338385Abstract: A dental implant includes a threaded portion extending along a central longitudinal axis from an apical end to a coronal end. The threaded portion includes a core from which threading extends radially outwards, the threading including an apical flank, a coronal flank and a lateral surface connecting the apical and coronal flanks, the lateral surface defining the radially outermost surface of the threading. The threading extends along the length of the threaded portion in a helical manner and the thread width narrowing in the radially outwards direction such that the threading is widest where it contacts the core and narrows towards the lateral surface. The core diameter of the threaded portion is defined by the outer diameter of the core and the outer diameter of the threaded portion is defined by the lateral surface of the threading.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2019Publication date: November 4, 2021Applicant: STRAUMANN HOLDING AGInventor: Ophir FROMOVICH

Patent number: 11147654Abstract: A dental implant that facilitates insertion includes a body having a coronal end and an apical end opposite the coronal end. An implant-prosthetic interface region is provided adjacent the coronal end. A tapered region is adjacent the apical end. A variable profile helical thread extends along the tapered region. The thread becomes broader in the apical-coronal direction and higher in the coronal-apical direction. The threads include an apical side, a coronal side and a lateral edge connecting them. The variable profile thread includes an expanding length of the lateral edge while the distance of the lateral edge from the base is reduced in the direction of the coronal end. The implant also has a gradual compressing tapered core, a self drilling apical end with a spiral tap, and a coronal end with and inverse tapering.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2015Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: Nobel Biocare Services AGInventors: Ophir Fromovich, Yuval Jacoby, Nitzan Bichacho, Ben-Zion Karmon

Publication number: 20200337811Abstract: The present invention relates to endosseous implants and in particular, to screw form dental implants for implanting within bone. The bone implant is configured to be a self-drilling bone implant that is adept at condensing, collecting and distributing bone along all of the implant's surface and within the implantation site, to significantly increase the bone implant contact surface. The implant is configured to have a coronal portion and a body portion that are continuous with one another. The coronal portion is configured to have a smaller overall diameter than the overall diameter of said body portion. The body portion is fit with threading that facilitates the self-drilling and bone collection properties when the implant is rotates in both the clockwise and counterclockwise directions.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2020Publication date: October 29, 2020Applicant: STRAUMANN HOLDING AGInventor: Ophir FROMOVICH

Patent number: 7396232Abstract: Devices and methods for gradual displacing of the soft tissues covering bones. The gap developing between the bone and the displaced soft tissue will be filled with bone callus as it is in distraction osteogenesis. The devices and methods allow formation of bone in distraction osteogenesis without cutting a segment of the bone. The devices and methods are particularly useful in dental implantology for vertical ridge augmentation by displacing the periosteal tissue and for sinus lift by displacing the Schneiderian membrane. The devices and methods can also regenerate soft tissue between the bone and the displaced soft tissue.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2004Date of Patent: July 8, 2008Inventors: Ophir Fromovich, Benzion Karmon
