  • Publication number: 20230031165
    Abstract: Methods of manufacturing dental prosthesis/implants each to replace a non-functional natural tooth positioned in a jawbone of a specific pre-identified patient are provided. An example method includes the steps of receiving imaging data such as x-ray image data and surface scan data of a dental anatomy and/or a physical impression of the dental anatomy of a specific preidentified patient. The steps can also include forming a three-dimensional virtual model of at least portions of a non-functional natural tooth positioned in the jawbone of the specific pre-identified patient based on the imaging and surface scan data, virtually designing a dental implant based upon the virtual model, exporting the data describing the designed dental implant to a manufacturing machine, and custom manufacturing the dental implant for the specific patient.

  • Patent number: 10449019
    Abstract: A mouthpiece for inserting and securing a push-in-type dental implant in a jawbone bore hole or a natural extraction socket of a patient, related systems, and methods of designing and manufacturing a mouthpiece are disclosed. The mouthpiece can include a first interface to engage with an occlusal portion of the dental implant and at least a second interface to engage with occlusal surfaces of the opponent crowns so that the mouthpiece is operable to securely insert the dental implant into the jawbone bore hole or extraction socket of the patient when an upper jawbone and lower jawbone of a patient are brought together.

  • Patent number: 10426578
    Abstract: Custom dental prosthesis or implants each individually designed and manufactured to replace nonfunctional natural teeth positioned in a jawbone of a specific pre-identified patient are provided. An example dental prosthesis/implant includes a dental implant body having a prosthesis interface formed therein to receive an occlusal-facing dental prosthesis component. The prosthesis interface has a custom three-dimensional surface shape positioned and formed to create a form locking fit with respect to the occlusal-facing dental prosthesis component when positioned thereon.
