Patents by Inventor Antonio Maria Scotti

Antonio Maria Scotti has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9918809
    Abstract: An insert for a dental prosthesis screwed onto an implant, in particular of the type having a superstructure and an implant to be integrated in the bone, which are reciprocally joined by a screw. The insert is composed of an element made of a damping material interposed between the coupling surface of the superstructure and the implant. With an insert according to the invention, a dental prosthesis screwed onto an implant is obtained, which reproduces the natural anchoring state of the tooth to the bone, so that the stress peaks on the superstructure are damped before being discharged onto the implant and consequently also onto the bone. An insert according to the invention also offers the advantage of sealing the contact area between the superstructure and the implant, thus preventing dangerous bacterial infiltrations.

  • Patent number: 9592106
    Abstract: A superstructure for oral, dental and maxillofacial prostheses includes at least one anchoring dental element and at least one additional dental element, wherein the additional dental element has an internal hollow portion forming a closed cavity inside the same element. With respect to the known technology in the field, the superstructure of the invention offers the advantage of being lighter, more comfortable and less bothersome for the user, thanks to the substantial reduction in weight due to the smaller quantities of material used for producing it.

  • Publication number: 20160296306
    Abstract: A process for producing a superstructure for dental prostheses includes the initial creation of a preformed interface and the subsequent construction, by the stratification of a material on the same interface, of the anatomical part of the superstructure. With respect to known production methods, the process of the invention offers the advantage of allowing a finished superstructure, i.e. complete with an interface whose geometry has the maximum precision required for an effective coupling with the implant, to be obtained directly in the stratification step.

  • Publication number: 20150209122
    Abstract: A position localizer device for oral, dental and maxillofacial prostheses has a single body with a longitudinal axis and includes a portion having a body in the form of an irregular polyhedron, on whose upper polygonal side a portion is fixed in the form of a spherical body and on whose lower polygonal side there is a connection element for coupling with the interface of a respective element to be positioned. The polyhedric body, the spherical body and the connection element of the device are positioned coaxial with the axis of the body of the localizer device. A localizer according to the invention offers the advantage of obtaining a perfect adherence between the scanned surfaces and the surfaces of the device and the perfect coupling of the scanned surfaces with the mathematical model present in the database.
