  • Patent number: 11678960
    Abstract: A dental implant is provided, wherein the dental implant includes a dental root implant. The dental root implant forms a columnar body, and two ends thereof have a tubular portion and a joint portion, respectively, wherein the tubular portion is provided with a plurality of through holes. A central groove is formed inside the tubular portion and communicates with the through holes, wherein an inner diameter of the central groove tapers from approaching the joint portion to away from the joint portion. The joint portion can be coupled to a dental crown, and the tubular portion can be coupled to a human alveolar bone. The through holes can facilitate an osseointegration of the dental root implant in the alveolar bone.

  • Patent number: 7172424
    Abstract: A method is designed to mount a removable restoration tooth on a natural tooth to be restored. The method involves the use of the standardized plastic inner crowns corresponding to the permanent teeth of a human, the standardized metal outer crowns corresponding to the plastic inner crowns, and the standardized abutment conformation devices corresponding to the plastic inner crowns. One of the devices is used as a reference in forming an abutment on the natural tooth. An abutment matrix is made to facilitate the dressing of the plastic inner crown, so as to make a metal inner crown according to the dressed plastic inner crown. The metal inner crown is mounted on the abutment. A metal outer crown corresponding to the plastic inner crown is fitted with the restoration tooth, which is mounted on the natural tooth such that the metal outer crown is fitted over the metal inner crown.

  • Patent number: 7059854
    Abstract: A dental abutment is provided with an axial through hole and is fastened at a lower segment thereof with an implant in conjunction with a cement which is infected into a threaded hole of the implant. An excess amount of the cement is forced out via the axial through hole of the abutment such that the cement is deposited on a flat top of the abutment to facilitate the removing of the cement residue and to minimize the likelihood of a gums inflammation which may be resulted from an incomplete removal of the cement residue.

  • Publication number: 20050053899
    Abstract: A detachable restoration tooth has a bottom, an outer surface, and a top. The bottom is provided with a cavity to accommodate an outer crown. The restoration tooth further has two connection portions, each extending from a boundary edge of the top and the outer surface. The restoration tooth is removably mounted on the abutment seat of a restored tooth such that the outer crown is fitted over an inner crown of the abutment seat, and that the connection portions are attached to two healthy teeth adjoining the restored tooth.

  • Publication number: 20050053894
    Abstract: A method is designed to mount an inner crown of a restoration tooth on a natural or artificial abutment. The method involves a first step in which the inner crown is provided in a hollow interior with a cement coating before the inner crown is fitted over the natural or artificial abutment. The natural or artificial abutment is then provided with a retaining hole which is drilled into an interior of the natural or artificial abutment from one upright wall of the inner crown. The retaining hole is used to retain a retention pin or securing the inner crown to the natural or artificial abutment. The inner crown is thus prevented from becoming disengaged with the natural or artificial abutment by the cement coating and the retention pin.

  • Publication number: 20050053897
    Abstract: An artificial implantable dental structure comprises an abutment, an implant, and a normal conical body located between the abutment and the implant. The normal conical body serves to minimize an acute angle that is formed by a conical surface of the normal conical body and a top of the gums at the time when the implant is planted in a bone socket of the mouth cavity, thereby preventing deposition of food particles in contact areas of the implant and the gums.
