Abstract: A system of components for comfortably, easily, and precisely installing a complete dental implant, including the crown, and a method of installing the complete dental implant, including the crown, is disclosed. The components comprise a dental implant, an impression transfer, a lab analog, and an abutment to which the crown is to be permanently installed.

Abstract: A system of components or implements for easily and precisely installing a dental implant, and a method of installing the dental implant, within a patient's jaw, is disclosed. The system comprises a rotary cutter guide and a rotary cutter. Orthogonal slots are defined within the rotary cutter guide so as to precisely position the rotary cutter within the rotary cutter guide as well as to permit the rotary cutter to form slots within a patient's jaw so as to accommodate winged members of a winged dental implant. A method of installation is also disclosed, and the system and method may be utilized in conjunction with the installation of both a single winged implant or a dual winged implant wherein the two winged implants are connected together by means of a connecting bar or plate.

Abstract: A dental implant has a substantially cylindrical configuration and a pair of wing members projecting outwardly from diametrically opposite side wall portions of the implant. The wing members have a substantially right triangular configuration with one leg of each right triangle effectively connecting the wing member to the body of the implant, the other leg of the right triangle extending outwardly from the body of the implant at an orientation that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the implant body, and the hypotenuse side of the right triangle being radiused so as to promote osseointegration. In addition, two winged implants may be connected together by means of a connecting bar or plate. In accordance with this dual implant, the wing members are only provided upon the laterally external side wall portions of each implant while the oppositely disposed internal portions of each implant are integrally connected to the intermediary connecting bar or plate.

Abstract: A self-tapping fixture is implantable in a bone. The fixture extends generally longitudinally from an apical end to a distal end along a longitudinal axis L and has a periphery, the periphery comprises a first zone A extending away from the apical end to merge with a second zone B, the second zone B extending away from the first zone A to merge with a third zone C, the third zone C extending away from the second zone B to merge with a fourth zone D and the fourth zone D extending away from the third zone to terminate at the distal end of the fixture, and the third zone C is provided with a plurality of thread wraps each merging from the periphery and extending generally radially away therefrom to terminate at a generally rounded wrap ends.
