Publication number: 20250017703Abstract: Dental implant and superstructure each with an interface that allows direct attachment of the superstructure to the dental implant without the use of an abutment. The dental implant comprises an anti-rotation element that is arranged in the opening and is configured to prevent the superstructure from rotating about a longitudinal axis relative to the dental implant. The superstructure comprises an interface corresponding to the anti-rotation element, having a recess with two mutually opposite side flanks which are at a first distance from each other in a first region and, in a second region which is at a greater distance from the longitudinal axis than the first region, are at a second distance from each other, the second distance being smaller than the first distance.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2024Publication date: January 16, 2025Applicant: TRI Dental Implants Int. AGInventors: Sandro VENANZONI, Rafael PEREZ, Holger KAST, Ronald JUNG

Publication number: 20210353392Abstract: Dental implant comprising an implant body having on an outer side an external thread for fastening the dental implant to a jaw bone and having an opening extending along a longitudinal axis of the dental implant. The opening comprises an internal thread for fastening a superstructure to the dental implant. The implant body further comprises an interface for fastening the superstructure to the dental implant, which interface is arranged at a front end of the implant body. The dental implant further comprises an anti-rotation element which is configured to prevent rotation of the superstructure around the longitudinal axis relative to the dental implant, wherein the anti-rotation element is configured as a component separate from the implant body, which is attached to the implant body in an area of the interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2021Publication date: November 18, 2021Inventors: Sandro Venanzoni, Rafael Perez, Holger Kast, Ronald Jung

Publication number: 20210161624Abstract: Dental prosthesis comprising a dental implant comprising an external thread for screwing the dental implant into a jawbone and an internal thread arranged inside the dental implant. The dental prosthesis further comprises a superstructure having an internal bore and a screw for fastening the superstructure to the dental implant. The screw has a screw head with a cylindrical or conical lateral surface and a shank which adjoins a lower end of the screw head and on which an external thread is arranged. In an assembled state of the dental prosthesis, the screw is inserted through the internal bore of the superstructure into the dental implant and the external thread of the screw engages the internal thread of the dental implant. The screw head comprises a convexly rounded chin between the cylindrical or conical lateral surface and its lower end, with which chin the screw abuts the superstructure in the internal bore in the assembled state of the dental prosthesis.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2021Publication date: June 3, 2021Inventors: Sandro VENANZONI, Rafael PEREZ, Holger KAST
