Abstract: Dental implants may be designed using a three-dimensional scan of an extracted tooth root and/or a corresponding socket site. The dental implant may include three portions: a root segment designed to sit below the patient's gum line, a connector portion positioned above the root segment and designed to sit above the gum line, and an abutment portion positioned above the connector portion upon which a temporary or permanent crown may be placed. The root segment may include three sections that correspond to three areas of a three-dimensional scan of an extracted tooth root. The first and third sections of the implant may have a size and shape that corresponds to a first and third portions of the three-dimensional scan, respectively. A circumference of the second section of the implant may be smaller than a corresponding circumference of the second section of the three-dimensional scan of the tooth root.

Abstract: Dental implants may be designed using a three-dimensional scan of an extracted tooth root and/or a corresponding socket site. The dental implant may include a root portion designed to sit below the patient's gum line, a connector portion positioned above the root portion and designed to sit above a rim of a socket site and/or gum line, and an abutment portion positioned above the connector portion upon which a crown may be placed. The root portion may include three sections that correspond to three areas of a three-dimensional scan of an extracted tooth root. The first and third sections of the implant may have a size and shape that corresponds to a first and third portions of the three-dimensional scan, respectively. A circumference of the second section of the implant may be smaller than a corresponding circumference of the second section of the three-dimensional scan of the tooth root.

Abstract: A dental implant may be produced having an organic shape corresponding to the root shape of a tooth the implant replaces. Following atraumatic extraction of the tooth, the implant may be inserted and subsequently graft to the root socket. Features of the implant maximize compatibility and positive outcomes.
