Dental implant comprising an anchoring head and a screw element
View Patent ↗A set of dental implants comprising two implants each having an anchoring head for a structural element and having an end face of a predetermined face diameter and a screw element with a thread core and a self-cutting outer thread. The thread core and the outer thread have three segments following one another in succession from crestal to apical, namely a crestal segment adjoining the anchoring head with a constant outer crestal diameter of the outer thread and a thread core conically tapering in the apical direction to a predetermined intermediate diameter, a middle segment with an outer diameter of the thread core substantially equal to the intermediate diameter, and a tip segment with an outer thread of an outer diameter tapering in the apical direction and a conically tapering diameter of the thread core. The face diameters of the two implants are different.
1. A set of dental implants comprising two implants each comprising:
an anchoring head for a structural element and having an end face of a predetermined face diameter; and
a screw element with a thread core and a self-cutting outer thread, the thread core and the outer thread having three segments following one another in succession from crestal to apical, namely
a crestal segment adjoining the anchoring head with a constant outer crestal diameter of the outer thread and a thread core conically tapering in the apical direction to a predetermined intermediate diameter,
a middle segment with an outer diameter of the thread core substantially equal to the intermediate diameter, and
a tip segment with an outer thread of an outer diameter tapering in the apical direction and a conically tapering diameter of the thread core,
the outer crestal diameter of one of the two implants being substantially equal to the face diameter and the outer diameter of the other of the two implants being larger or smaller than the outer crestal diameter.
2. The dental implant according to claim 1 , characterized in that the outer thread is formed as a double thread.
3. The dental implant according to claim 1 , characterized in that the ratio of the axial lengths of the crestal segment or the tip segment on the one hand to the middle segment on the other hand lies between 1:1 and 1:2.
4. The dental implant according to claim 1 , characterized in that the ratio of the thread outer diameter in the crestal segment and the middle segment to that of the apical end of the tip segment lies at about 4:3.5.
5. The dental implant according to claim 1 characterized in that the anchoring head has an internal hexagonal rounded surface toothed socket adjacent a blind threaded bore close to the apical side.
6. A final drill for creating a final bore for a dental implant according to claim 1 , characterized in that the final drill has a conical cutting contour with the conical pattern matched to the conical angle of the thread cores and with an outer diameter which corresponds to the outer diameter of the thread cores.
7. A final drill according to claim 6 characterized in that the drill has multiple cutters, preferably three cutters, whereby the cutters extend from the tip over the area of the drill up to a depth stop on the shank.
