  • Patent number: 9474589
    Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-part tooth implant with at least a proximal implant part and a distal implant part that are to be connected to each other such that a connection site is obtained when the two implant parts are in the connected state. An annular sealing element is arranged at this connection site and, in the fully assembled state of the tooth implant, is clamped between mutually opposite sealing surfaces, namely a sealing surface of the proximal implant part and a sealing surface of the distal implant part, such that the sealing element has an outer surface portion that forms part of the outer contour of the tooth implant. The two sealing surfaces initially approach each other in a direction oriented outwards from a central longitudinal axis of the tooth implant.

  • Patent number: 8202088
    Abstract: A two-part dental implant includes distal and proximal implant portions which in an interconnected condition at least indirectly adjoin each other at a connecting location and have mutually facing surfaces in the region of the connecting location. A sealing body is provided between the mutually facing surfaces of the distal and proximal implant portions. The sealing body has sealing surfaces which face towards the mutually facing surfaces and which in the interconnected condition of the two implant portions bear sealingly against the mutually facing surfaces thereof. In addition, mutually facing abutment surfaces are provided between the distal and proximal implant portions. These mutually facing abutment surfaces bear against each other in the final assembled dental implant and limit the degree of approach of the two mutually facing surfaces of the implant portions between which the sealing body is arranged.
