20090081612 | IMPLANT - An implant ( | 03-26-2009 |
20100291509 | METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR FORMING A DENTAL BRIDGE - Certain embodiments of the invention relate to a method of manufacturing a dental bridge. In certain embodiments of the method, a pre-sintered blank made from a green body of ceramic material is subjected to a machining operation that transforms the blank into an intermediate product with a bridge structure and a support body linked to the bridge structure by one or several retaining sections that extend from the support body to the bridge structure. In certain embodiments, a sintering operation is then performed on the intermediate product while the retaining section(s) still link(s) the support body to the bridge structure. | 11-18-2010 |
20100323327 | METHOD OF PRODUCING A DENTAL PRODUCT - Methods of producing a dental product are disclosed. Certain methods include the steps of providing a pre-sintered blank made from a green body of ceramic material, performing a machining operation on the blank, and subsequently sintering the blank to its final density in a sintering operation performed at a temperature in the range of 1300° C. to 1650° C. The pre-sintered blank that is provided may have a strength in the range of 53 -107 MPa. | 12-23-2010 |
20110014586 | CERAMIC ONE-PIECE DENTAL IMPLANT - A ceramic one-piece implant is provided that comprises a first portion and a second portion that are integrally formed with each other. The first portion can be arranged at a coronal end of the implant for fitting engagement with a dental restoration to the implant. The second portion can contiguously adjoin the first portion at a coronal edge. Further, the second portion can have a width and be arranged apically from the coronal end of the implant. The second portion can also be devised for arrangement in epithelial contact with soft tissue upon implantation of the dental implant. Furthermore, a curvature including the coronal edge can be adjustable by removal of material at least from the second portion while the width of the shoulder is substantially maintained. | 01-20-2011 |
20120295224 | IMPLANT ARRANGEMENT WITH AN INTERNAL SOCKET FOR A TURNING TOOL - An implant is provided with an upper portion in which an internal socket extends. The implant can be tightened by a turning instrument which has first lateral surfaces that can cooperate with corresponding second lateral surfaces in the internal socket. One or more of the first and/or second lateral surfaces is/are arranged completely or partially with friction-enhancing means. The implant and the tool are arranged with interacting parts which extend beyond the first and second lateral surfaces and completely or substantially take up bending moments which act in or on said portion or are directed toward said portion and occur in the event of skewing, or a tendency toward skewing, between the implant and the tool. The arrangement counteracts mechanical stresses in said portion, the latter being able to retain its original shape even in the case of implants with small dimensions. | 11-22-2012 |
20120326343 | METHOD OF PRODUCING A DENTAL PRODUCT - Methods of producing a dental product are disclosed. Certain methods include the steps of providing a pre-sintered blank made from a green body of ceramic material, performing a machining operation on the blank, and subsequently sintering the blank to its final density in a sintering operation performed at a temperature in the range of 1300° C. to 1650° C. The pre-sintered blank that is provided may have a strength in the range of 53-107 MPa. | 12-27-2012 |
20140178836 | METHOD OF ATTACHING A DENTAL COMPONENT TO A DENTAL IMPLANT - The present invention relates to a method of attaching a dental component having an angulated screw channel to a dental implant. The present invention also relates to a dental component having an angulated screw channel and a metal adapter. | 06-26-2014 |
