Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method and system that receives an intra-oral scanned dataset comprising adjacent first and second scan patches, the adjacent first and second scan patches comprising scanned images of adjacent portions of a depth registration tool engaging first and second dental fixtures positioned on first and second segments, respectively, of a dental arch area and overlaying a soft tissue, homogeneous, cross-arch connecting area between the first and second segments, the first and second scan patches having different background images on the depth registration tool, identifies a raised feature common to the first and second scan patches, and aligns, based on the identified at least one raised feature, the first and second scan patches to form a composite digital image.

Abstract: A hybrid abutment for restorative dental systems includes a restoration interface with an overdenture portion and a restoration portion that are each operable to couple to a plurality of restorative abutment components along a restorative axis, a receiver interface with at least one region operable to couple to a corresponding region on a receiver along an installation axis, and a restorative platform separating the restoration interface and the receiver interface. The restorative abutment component can include an overdenture or a restorative component with an optional resilient insert. The overdenture and the restorative component are interchangeable without switching either the hybrid abutment or the receiver. The hybrid abutment includes a main body with a single-build or multi-piece build or configuration. Where the receiver is an implant, at least a portion of the hybrid abutment and the implant can be formed as a monolithic component.

Abstract: A dental implant system that can include a prosthetic assembly and a dental implant. The prosthetic assembly can include a dental component and a retention screw. The dental component and the retention screw each have interference elements that are configured to engage when a removal torque is applied to the screw. When the interference element engage each other, a portion of the removal torque is converted into a linear force that is exerted on the dental component in a removal direction thereby separating the dental component from the dental implant.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes technical solutions to various technical problems facing generation of an angulated screw channel for dental implant. An improved screw channel model may be generated based on various inputs. The inputs may include dental implant parameters such as a screw channel length and a variable height. The inputs may also include dental screw parameters associated with a dental screw type, such as a screwhead diameter and a screwhead height. Using these inputs, the improved angulated screw channel model may be generated. By generating a model based on these input parameters, the resulting screw channel model allows the dental screw to be inserted and secured while reducing or minimizing a screw hole size and a screw channel volume.
