  • Publication number: 20220079715
    Abstract: A tool assembly for mounting a dental abutment includes a first tool, the first tool having an axis of elongation, a first end configured to engage, in use, the abutment, and a second end, where a first portion of the first tool at or near the first end has a peripheral wall and, opposite the wall, a first opening extending along all or part of the first portion, a second opening open in an axial direction is disposed at the first end, the tool assembly further including a second tool configured to releasably engage a fixing element, where a contiguous space is defined between the first opening and the second opening whereby, in use, the fixing element, or the fixing element attached to the second tool, may pass through the first opening and the second opening to permit secure fixing of the abutment to an implant or frame using the second tool.

  • Publication number: 20220039926
    Abstract: A blank from which a dental prosthesis can be formed includes a main body portion, the main body portion having an axis of elongation, and first and second ends The blank further includes a registration portion at the first end, for aligning, in use, the dental prosthesis in a precise position and/or orientation on an implant; and an attachment portion at the second end, the attachment portion including a first bore for enabling secure attachment of the blank to a holder having a holder axis while the blank is milled and/or machined and an attachment axis is being defined by the first bore. The attachment axis coincides with the holder axis and is at an angle to the axis of elongation so that the axis of elongation of the blank is at an angle to the holder axis when the blank is attached to the holder.

  • Publication number: 20190274793
    Abstract: A system for fastening an orthopaedic implant either to a bone or to an orthopaedic implant, including a screw and a driver; the screwing having a first end and an apical end, a head at the first end and a thread at the apical end, a bore running axially from the first end of the screw along a portion of the screw towards the apical end of the screw, a first zone at the first end of the bore and a second zone at the apical end of the bore, where the first and second zones have clipping and peripheral engagement means, respectively, where the driver includes a head having first and second segments, the first segment having means for triggering the clipping means during an axial insertion of the driver head into the bore, where the second segment has means for engaging the peripheral engagement means, and where the second segment of the driver head has a rounded axial section, and the second zone of the bore has a rounded socket shape adapted to engage with the second segment of the driver head in various angle

  • Publication number: 20160278887
    Abstract: The dental implant comprises an implant fixture, a first abutment and a second abutment connectable to the implant fixture. The implant fixture is connectable to a patient's bone. The implant fixture comprises an internal thread and an upper abutment connector. The first abutment comprises an implant fixture connector, which is connectable to the upper abutment connector of the implant fixture. The first abutment further comprises a second abutment connector and a first passageway. The second abutment comprises a first abutment connector, which is connectable to the second abutment connector of the first abutment. The second abutment also comprises a second passageway. The first abutment and the second abutment are attachable to the implant fixture by a screw, which is insertable through the first passageway and the second passageway into the internal thread of the implant fixture. When assembled, there is a gap formed between the first and second abutment.
