  • Patent number: 8585405
    Abstract: Dental implant that in the event of external pressure is able to absorb a multidirectional pressure, being provided for this purpose with a main body that includes a hollow screw inside which there is a lower end joint, a lower elastic joint, an intermediate nut with internal threading and a hexagonal exterior, an internal movement-limiting screw, an upper elastic joint, a “T”-shaped upper closing part, with a hexagonal head and a threaded interior, where the arrangement and nature of the parts enables not only the dismantling of all of the parts for revision, but also an increase in its strength in response to external forces through its capacity for axial and/or coronal movement, which helps to increase the lifespan of the implant.

  • Patent number: 4626214
    Abstract: A dental implant is disclosed of the type which is fixed to the maxilla of the jaw bone. The implant includes a first elongated body which is externally threaded so that one of its ends can be secured into the maxilla. This body includes an axial bore which extends out of its other end. A second body forming part of the implant includes the artificial tooth at one end and, at the other end, a shaft portion of the first body. The construction permits a certain amount of axial movement between the first and second bodies, once they are fitted together and cushioning is provided between them to simulate the function of a real tooth.
