Definitions

  • the present invention relates to implant systems used in the connection of a prosthesis to bone, and more preferably a dental implant system which includes an insertion tool or fixture mount, and an implant having an internal connection which is adapted for the coupling of a prosthesis, with the axis of the prosthesis angularly inclined relative to the axis of the implant body.
  • Implant constructions are of a multi-part design and include an implantable body which is adapted to be recessed into a patient's jawbone, and a prosthesis in the form of a ceramic tooth which is adapted for affixation to a metal abutment which has been mechanically coupled to a proximal or upper end of the implant body.
  • dental implants are formed from metals such as stainless steel or titanium, and have a cylindrical or tapered shape which is elongated in an axial direction.
  • a recess or drill hole is drilled in the patient's jawbone at a desired site.
  • the implant body is then press or screw-fit into the drill hole generally level with the surrounding jawbone tissues. Over time, the bone tissue grows and engages the sides of the implant body, to anchor it in position in place of the natural tooth.
  • the abutment which serves as the support for the prosthesis is coupled to the proximal end of the implant body.
  • abutments are formed with a generally flat bottom surface, and which is adapted for juxtaposed placement against a flat upper seating surface of the implant body. In this manner, forces are transmitted evenly from the prosthesis through the implant body; and to the jaw. While the mounting of prosthesis in coaxially alignment with the implant body has achieved success in the placement of dental implants in the posterior regions of patients' mouths, difficulties remain in that conventional implants have achieved limited success in replacing incisor teeth and teeth in the anterior-most regions, where high aesthetic demands exist.
  • implant bodies have been inserted into the maxillary jaw parallel to the direction of jawbone elongation and in an angular orientation of between about 5° and 25° relative to the occlusal direction.
  • abutments are thereafter used to reposition the prosthesis in the desired angular orientation of occlusal forces.
  • Such abutments typically have contact faces which are angled relative to the abutment axis/abutment-implant interface.
  • Angled abutments suffer the disadvantage in that they are typically provided with thick and thin sides to provide the desired angle for mounting of the prosthesis.
  • a "biological width” around the implanted body (i.e. the distance from the peri-implant bone crest to the microgap), leading to the exposure of the thicker side of the abutment and an aesthetically displeasing metallic appearance.
  • crestal bone remodelling will be effected by bacteria which collects at the implant/abutment interface or microgap.
  • bone tissue will typically recover to a level of 0.5 to 1 mm below the microgap, with overlying gingival tissues typically extending 1 to 2 mm above the supporting bone.
  • Receding support tissues or crestal bone loss around dental implants leads to an aesthetic challenge when dealing with dental restorations in the frontal regions of the patient's mouth.
  • Alveolar bone tends to gradually disappear along the portions of the implants where engagement of the bone tissues with the implant body does not occur. This in turn results in a corresponding recession of overlying gum tissues and the exposure of the stainless or titanium steel body of the implant and/or the abutment.
  • a threaded bore extends through the external connection used in the connection of the abutment and into the upper most collar portion. While such external connections are suitable for use in anchoring of larger abutments having internal sockets, such larger abutments are most frequently used in the mounting of comparatively larger prosthesis, such as those used in the replacement of lost molars and posterior teeth.
  • the present implant system seeks to provide an implant which stimulates osteoblasts or bone forming cells to promote bone ingrowth and engage the implant body.
  • the implant is a dental implant adapted for use in the replacement of incisor and other anterior teeth in a patient's mouth, and which maximizes the crestal surface of the re-grown bone tissue along the labial and buccal surfaces so as to substantially mirror that of a healthy tooth.
  • the present invention seeks to provide an improved dental implant body for use in the anterior regions of a patient's mouth, and which minimizes loss of the patient's labial gingival and/or bone tissues.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an improved implant system for use in attaching a prosthesis to bone, and which includes an implant body provided with an internal connection.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide an improved dental implant system having a dental implant and fixture mount, or installation tool.
  • the fixture mount most preferably enables both simplified manufacture and implant positioning in alignment with bone tissues which are angularly relative to the occlusal direction, and which permits the simplified mounting of a prosthesis thereto with the prosthesis axis oriented angularly relative to the implant axis.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a dental implant body having an internal connection, and which is provided with smooth upper or coronal region, and an externally threaded bone engaging lower region having one or more bone additional engaging structures, such as porous coatings, texturing, and/or bioreactive coating along part or its entire axial length, to maximize bone remodelling and attachment thereto.
  • Suitable porous coated surfaces could, for example, include titanium, metal or ceramic beads.
  • Suitable coatings for use with the bone engaging surface would typically comprise bioreactive coatings, such as those formed from hydroxyapatite or other compounds suitable for stimulating bone growth.
  • the implant body is elongated along an implant axis extending from an upper proximal-most end to a lower apical end.
  • the upper-most region (in the direction of implantation) of the implant is provided as a generally smooth coronal portion having an axial length of between about 2 and 5 mm, extending to the proximal-most end.
  • the lower distal-most region of the implant is provided for bone engagement.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système d'implant comprenant un corps d'implant implantable et une monture de fixation allongée axialement, accouplée amovible audit corps. Le corps d'implant est allongé le long d'un axe s'étendant à partir d'une extrémité proximale supérieure vers une extrémité apicale inférieure. La zone supérieure du corps d'implant est réalisée sous la forme d'une partie coronaire lisse, cependant que la zone distale inférieure est prévue pour l'engagement dans l'os. La zone distale comprend une partie cylindrique, à proximité de la partie coronaire, et une partie conique qui s'étend de la partie cylindrique vers une pointe apicale. Des filetages externes s'étendent, de manière hélicoïdale autour de chacune des parties cylindriques et coniques, en vue d'ancrer le corps en position dans l'os. Un alésage interne formé vers l'intérieur, à partir de l'extrémité proximale est incliné d'un angle compris entre environ 5° et 20° par rapport à l'axe longitudinal du corps de l'implant.
