  • Publication number: 20240390122
    Abstract: A dental irrigator has a connection portion with a water inlet, a main body, a working tip and an intermediate connector. The main body has a first end with a first connection element to couple with the connection portion and a second end opposite to the first end and having a second connection element which extends from a main step of the main body. The second connection element has an inner connection surface and an outer connection surface. The working tip has a first portion to be connected to the inner connection surface and a second portion to project the water outside the dental irrigator. The intermediate connector manages the connection between the first portion of the working tip and the second connection element of the main body.

  • Publication number: 20230248483
    Abstract: A scan posts system with scan posts is presented. Each scan post includes a scan post core and a scan post body surrounding the core and resting in the shoulder of the core. At least part of the scan post body is intended to be in contact with healing tissue. Each scan post body belongs to a group of scan post bodies including at least a combination of two different shapes with three different sizes and at least one height. Each scan post body includes at least one scan mark suitable for providing information about the shape, size and height of the scan post to a scanning device, this information being useful for designing a dental implant prosthesis. A method of manufacturing a dental implant prosthesis using such a system is also presented.

  • Patent number: 11446122
    Abstract: A dental abutment core with a prosthetic connection, a pillar and a shoulder located between the prosthetic connection and the pillar. The pillar has anti-rotational elements for preventing a custom body from rotating with respect to the dental abutment core. The pillar has a first portion adjacent to the shoulder, a second portion adjacent to the first portion, and a third portion farthest from the shoulder. A cross section of at least part of the first portion is circular and has an outer diameter which is lower than a cross section dimension of the second portion. The anti-rotational elements are located in the third portion. A method for manufacturing a dental abutment with such dental abutment core is also described.

  • Patent number: 11116613
    Abstract: Molds for fabrication of custom and potentially modifiable abutments and impression posts for dental implants with various degrees of angulations (including zero degrees) and various dimensions are provided, with a generally oval shape that expands laterally upwards, a symmetrical or asymmetrical cross-section, and regular surfaces, that are fabricated as one piece, or as two coupling pieces snapping onto each other. Custom abutments achieve the development of a custom gingival emergence profile, three dimensionally, which is potentially modifiable according to the needs of each particular clinical case. Custom impression posts that correspond in dimensions and angulations to the abutments allow the accurate recording and transfer of the developed gingival emergence profile from the mouth onto the working cast, where the final implant prosthesis is fabricated.

  • Publication number: 20210236244
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a scan posts system with a plurality of scan posts. Each scan post includes a scan post core and a scan post body surrounding the pillar of the core and resting in the shoulder of the core, wherein at least part of the scan post body is intended to be in contact with healing tissue. The scan post body of each scan post belongs to a group of scan post bodies comprising at least a combination of two different shapes with three different sizes and at least one height. Each scan post body includes at least one scan mark, the scan mark being suitable for providing information about the shape, size and height of the scan post to a scanning device, this information being useful for designing a dental implant prosthesis. The present disclosure also provides a method of manufacturing a dental implant prosthesis using such a scan post system.

  • Publication number: 20200237483
    Abstract: A socket grafting plugs system for use in a socket grafting process. Each socket grafting plug has a first cross section, a second cross section parallel to the first cross section and a body portion extending between the first cross section and the second cross section. The first cross section belongs to a group of first plug sections with at least a combination of three different shapes with three different sizes.
