Abstract: A medical implant and a method of implanting a medical implant are described. The medical implant can be elongate and for fixation in a patient, and can include an apical bone anchoring portion for bone apposition, and an unthreaded coronal portion. The coronal portion can have a length (L2) exceeding or equaling a length (L1) of the apical portion. The apical portion can have a maximum outer diameter (D1) that is equal to or larger than a maximum outer diameter (D2) of the coronal portion. In a method of implanting a medical implant, an apical part can be affixed in the zygomatic bone, and a coronal part can be positioned outside the maxilla in the mucous membrane.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an implant system for implantation into a zygomatic bone. The implant system forms a dental substructure and comprises an apical system end and a coronal system end. The coronal system end includes a coronal superstructure interface along a superstructure interface axis for supporting a dental superstructure, wherein the implant system has a length in a range of 30 mm to 60 mm and includes at least two components.

Abstract: A medical implant and a method of implanting a medical implant are disclosed. The medical implant (20) is elongate and for fixation in a patient, and comprises an apical bone anchoring portion (200) for bone apposition, and an unthreaded coronal portion (210), wherein said coronal portion (210) has a length (L2) exceeding or equaling a length (L1) of said apical portion (200), and wherein said apical portion (200) has a maximum outer diameter (D1) that is equal to or larger than a maximum outer diameter (D2) of said coronal portion. In a method of implanting a medical implant, an apical part is affixed in the zygomatic bone, and a coronal part is positioned outside the maxilla in the mucous membrane.

Abstract: To anchor a fixture in a jaw bone, the fixture is applied in a hole which is substantially smaller than the diameter of the fixture. The fixture has a front portion which from the point of view of diameter grows very much narrower and which is arranged with both a cutting function and a threading function. The fixture is provided with a thread, with one, two or more thread turns extending down along the greatly narrowing portion while substantially maintaining their thread profile. One or more porous layers arranged on the thread turns can also be included. In this way the fixture can exploit the clamping effect from the soft parts of the jaw bone and still effectively penetrate through any hard parts possibly present in the jaw bone, without these hard parts being pressed inward upon fixture application. An effective fusion of the fixture in the jaw bone is achieved with the aid of said porous outer layers.

Abstract: A method is provided for transferring the position of an angled abutment from a model to an implant installed in the jawbone of a patient. The method can include attaching an attachment member to the first implant replica, attaching an angled abutment to the second implant replica, attaching an abutment holder to the angled abutment, connecting a connecting member to the attachment member, connecting the connecting member to the abutment holder, releasing the attachment member from the first implant replica, and releasing the angled abutment from the second implant replica.

Abstract: A device, a method, and a kit of components for transferring the position of an angled abutment from a model to an implant installed in the jawbone of a patient. The device comprises an attachment member operative to temporarily attach the device to a first implant installed in the jaw bone of a patient; an abutment holder operative to temporarily hold the angled abutment; and a connecting member fixable to the attachment member and the abutment holder and being operative to connect the abutment holder to the attachment member in a fixed spatial relationship. The angled abutment is alignable to a predetermined position relative a second implant installed in the jaw bone of the patient when the attachment member is temporarily attached to the first implant, the abutment holder holds the angled abutment, and the connecting member is fixed to the attachment member and the abutment holder.
