Patent number: 11850114Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2020Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Nobel Biocare Services AGInventors: Paulo Malo Carvalho, Lars Jorneus, Henrik Petersson

Patent number: 8814569Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2005Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Nobel Biocare Services AGInventor: Paulo Malo Carvalho
