  • Patent number: 11872293
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are related to pellets that are placed within an extraction site that is in need of bone augmentation and preservation. The pellets are typically cylindrical in shape and comprise a material and a polymer coating. The pellets may advantageously facilitate sufficient new bone growth that jaw bone deterioration is prevented. The pellets create, arrange, and assemble an ideal growth environment for new bone growth to rapidly grow and preserve the original contours of an individual's jaw bone.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8328554
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are related to fillers that are placed within an extraction site in need of bone augmentation and preservation. The fillers encourage sufficient new bone growth in order that normal jaw bone deterioration following tooth removal is prevented. The fillers create, arrange, and assemble an ideal growth environment for new bone growth to rapidly grow and preserve the original contours of an individual's jaw bone. Further embodiments described herein are related to dental implants that are arranged to provide a scaffold upon which a damaged or missing dental papilla may regrow. The dental implants may include a micro-pattern to facilitate directional cell growth.

  • Publication number: 20120290118
    Abstract: A system and method for use in constructing a prosthesis/complete restoration that obtains a digital dentition model, such as a 3D geometric surface model or a 3D volumetric image model, processes the digital dentition model to form a virtual model, forms a virtual mold including a digital prosthesis and/or complete restoration, and uses the virtual model to construct the prosthesis/complete restoration. Processing circuitry, such as a programmed server, can be used to obtain the digital dentition model and form the virtual mold. A rapid manufacturing device can be used to construct the prosthesis/complete restoration.

  • Publication number: 20110207084
    Abstract: The described embodiments relate to a transport prosthesis and a distraction device, which is surgically implanted against a bone, for the purpose of growing new bone through the process of distraction. The transport prosthesis is designed to be affixed to a patient's jaw to support the distraction device. The distraction device comprises a screw mechanism that attaches to a threaded post, which extends through tissue from an onlay plate that is surgically placed on the alveolar bone. After a brief, latent period, the screw mechanism is then activated daily until the desired amount of new bone growth is achieved.

  • Publication number: 20100114185
    Abstract: The described embodiments relate to a bone distraction plate device, which is surgically implanted, and a distraction tool for the purpose of growing new bone through the process of distraction. The device comprises a prosthesis housing a screw mechanism that attaches to a threaded post, which extends through tissue from an onlay plate and is surgically placed on the alveolar bone. The distraction tool is used to rotate the screw mechanism to create extension between the tissue and the onlay plate. After a brief, latent period, the screw mechanism is then activated daily using the distraction tool until the desired amount of new bone growth (height and width) is achieved.
