  • Porous metal dental implant
    Patent number: 10045837
    Abstract: A dental augment system includes a porous metal augment, a solid metal insert, and a dental implant. The porous metal augment is sized for use in mandibular or maxillar bone. The porous metal material of the augment facilitates and promotes ingrowth of the surrounding bone into the porous metal structure, thereby rebuilding a suitable foundation for affixation of dental implants. The solid metal insert can be configured to be received within an insert bore of the porous metal augment and a dental implant can be received within and theradably engaged with a threaded bore of the solid metal insert.

  • POROUS METAL DENTAL IMPLANT
    Publication number: 20150132719
    Abstract: A porous metal augment is sized for use in mandibular or maxillar bone. The porous metal material of the augment facilitates and promotes ingrowth of the surrounding bone into the porous metal structure, thereby rebuilding a suitable foundation for affixation of dental implants. A non-porous core or insert can be embedded within the porous metal body of the augment, and can be made of a material suitable for firm threaded fixation of dental implants thereto. For example, the metal core can be formed of a titanium structure that has sufficient strength and resiliency to form a firm and long lasting threaded connection with a threaded stem of a dental implant.
