APPLICATION FIELD
[001] The present subject matter refers to dental implants in general and, in particular, dental implants having a pivot to mount a prosthodontic restoration on it. TECHNICAL STATUS
[002] Dental implants are known in the art and typically include a dental anchor fixedly inserted into or over the patient's jaw bone, and a pivot member mountable on the dental anchor, to attach a prosthodontic restoration to it. In general, in the art, the pivot is fixed to the anchor using a fixing screw also known as a pivot screw.
[003] Various prefabricated pivots and implant systems of various designs are offered to doctors in an effort to provide doctors with the necessary means to successfully restore the condition of toothless patients.
[004] To be successful, the implant and all prosthodontic restoration devices associated with it, in particular those used in the implant, must meet specific functional, biological and aesthetic requirements. These requirements can be met when the restoration implant system, and devices used in the implants, adhere to 8 biochemical principles, including: 1. Preservation of the implant structure; 2. Passive retention and passive support; 3. Form of resistance; 4. Structural durability of the restoration; 5. Marginal integrity; 6. Recovery; 7. Preservation of the tissues of the perio-implant; 8. Individuality; Thus, for an implant procedure to take place successfully, the biochemical principles mentioned above must be met to obtain the implant requirements, including functional requirements, biological requirements and aesthetic requirements.
[005] Various factors in the design of pivots and restoration implant systems, for example, the geometry, shape and position of the pivot and the connection to the anchor system, determine whether a restoration can adhere to the biochemical principles mentioned to achieve functional requirements , biological and aesthetic desired.
[006] Pivots and restoration systems of the prior art do not meet these biomechanical principles, leading to greater disadvantages in the implants currently used. These disadvantages mean that doctors are committed to the functional, biological and aesthetic requirements of the restoration. Restoration systems that do not adhere to biochemical principles, reduce the implant's survivability and / or viability, require: difficult maintenance, additional surgeries, determines the functionality of the reduced implant system, insufficient statistics and irreparable damage to host tissues.
[007] A prior art patent application relating to the pivot's attempt to control the pivot position, as described in Niznick's US Patent Application No. 4645453, reveals an implant system that includes an anchor, the end of which accessible is located substantially at the level of gingival tissues in the alveolar A tiltable adapter made of titanium or titanium alloy has one end inserted into the anchor socket accessible for rigid connection, and a second distal end that projects into the region of the dental crown to support a superstructure. The projection part of the adapter can take various forms. It can provide a simple coupling in which the replacement of a single tooth can be made, or it can provide a socket for connection to the companion structures. The middle part of the adapter is lowered to provide an inclinable region at the level of the gingival tissues where the anchor can be positioned for maximum retention, and the projection end can be positioned to avoid tissue interference, to achieve parallelism for the connectors detachable, to achieve maximum occlusal and aesthetic functions.
[008] In addition, current implant anchor systems are devoid of uniformity and standardization, so that the different anchors are incompatible with each other. This incompatibility between different implant system manufacturers leads to high costs and a lack of standardization. SUMMARY
[009] Current implant systems provide pivots with limited positioning capabilities and therefore no control over angulations, directionality and pivot length. Similarly, current pivots do not provide parallelism between pivots and / or residual teeth. The limited positioning / or parallelism of the pivot with respect to the pivots / or opposing teeth determines several active insertion and recovery passages, thus interrupting the principles of passive retention, passive support and form of resistance.
[0010] Other examples of the disadvantages associated with current implant systems are: the broken shape of the pivot due to the formation of recesses and / or irregularities while additional adjustments are necessary (by filling and / or casting) to improve the position of the pivot, causing incomplete seat of the restoration on the pivot and, thus, insufficient retention and inferior durability of the restoration; the unstable connection systems and related gaps between different parts of the implant system (for example, between the anchor and the pivot) that can lead to fluid retention and pathogens in the implant structure in the vicinity of the host tissue, inflammation and irritation and damage to the perio-implant tissue, bad smell, bad taste and damage to the implant elements and / or structures; lack of a finishing line that results in weak contour restoration margins that introduce the perio-implant tissues, increasing the retention of food and plaque; limited standard options for prefabricated finishing lines, which do not consider individual morphology and prosthodontic requirements; impossibility to adjust the height of the transmucosal part of the pivot according to the individual morphology of the biological width and individual prosthodontic requirements.
[0011] Perhaps most importantly, the current implant may still require a multi-stage procedure and several surgeries to complete a single implant procedure.
[0012] In addition, current restoration systems do not have recovery, for example, if an element of the pivot state of the art is damaged it cannot be replaced by a new one while it fits with the restoration in use, thus a new one restoration must be manufactured.
[0013] The present application for a patent overcomes the deficiencies of the historical state of the art by providing a prostatic implant system and method that provide a standardized and / or adjustable implant pivot assembly that can be configured according to the individual's morphology , clinical situation and related prosthodontic requirements allowing a doctor to adhere to the biochemical principles previously mentioned, including: 1. Preservation of the implant structure; 2. Passive retention and passive support; 3. Form of resistance; 4. Structural durability of the restoration; Marginal integrity; 6. Recovery; 7. Preservation of peri-implant tissues; and; 8. Individuality.
[0014] In it, the pivot assembly of the present patent application aims to facilitate and allow a professional to comply with the different individual requirements, including functional, aesthetic and biological requirements.
[0015] More preferably, an adjustable implant pivot allows the professional to perform and meet the biochemical principles regarding the patient's individual morphology. Optionally and preferably the adjustment of the pivot system provides a pivot assembly that can be adjusted to a desired position, geometry and necessary shape. Optionally and preferably the adjustment of the pivot system provides a pivot assembly that also provides: a stable pivot to anchor the connection, eliminate gaps, allow doctors to adjust and form the transmucosal part of the pivot, provide the formation of a line of precise finish, ensure that the pivot restores the marginal fit, standardize the fixation methods, eliminate deficiencies related to the pivot axis and fixation screw, provide a fully recoverable restoration and allow the pivot replacement. Optionally, the adjustable pivot assembly can be compatible with any prior art implant systems and specifically implant anchors.
[0016] More preferably, the standardization and adjustment of the pivot assembly allows a professional to adhere to biochemical principles while ensuring that the implant results meet functional requirements, biological requirements and aesthetic requirements.
[0017] More preferably, the adjustable and standardized pivot according to the optional applications of the present patent application provides a pivot assembly that can be adjusted in real time by the professional and / or operator, according to the individual's morphology , requirements and clinical situation.
[0018] Optionally and preferably, the adjustable pivot according to the present application for a patent provides a pivot that can match and meet the great diversity of implant anchors known in the art, and can optionally be mounted in a surgical procedure and a internship.
[0019] Optionally and more preferably, the pivot assembly according to the present patent application can be adjusted and constituted to form a contoured, well-defined and flat finishing line.
[0020] A well-defined finish line is an essential component to ensure the success of the implantation process as many of the biochemical principles govern. More preferably, a correct finish line provides: structural durability of the restoration, coupling and / or fitting close to the pivot with the restoration margins, sets the platform for satisfactory restoration thicknesses (ensuring that the thickness of the pivot matches the thickness of the restoration) .
[0021] A correct finishing line also provides the guarantee that the pivot will emerge with the restoration profile, creating in it an “emergent profile”, without contour, which, in turn, prevents the percolation of fluids, irritation of perio-implant tissues, plaque retention and gingival inflammation.
[0022] A well-defined finishing line can be contoured to assume the ideal orientation and positioning, so that the finishing line is positioned parallel to the occlusal plane and perpendicular to the pivot axis, more preferably to passively interface the forces found by the implant and host tissue. Therefore, the more perpendicular the finishing line, the more passive the support and the greater the form of resistance. Therefore, the more parallel the finishing line, the more passive the retention and the greater the form of resistance.
[0023] Other distinct advantages offered by the adjustable pivot according to the present patent application in the creation of a standardized finishing line refer to its position, providing improved preservation of the perio-implant tissue. Preferably, the finish line is positioned slightly above the gum, in a region that is easy to clean and inspect, thereby substantially reducing the risk of an inflammatory response. Preferably, the finishing line is positioned sufficiently remote from the alveolar bone to preserve at least 2 mm of combined attachment of the epithelial and connecting tissue (“biological width”), thus preventing bone loss and ensuring bone support.
[0024] Another advantage offered by the assembly of the adjustable pivot according to the present patent application more preferably provides control of the transgingival part of the pivot. To preserve the tissue of the peri-implant, preferably, the diameter of the transgingival part of the pivot must be smaller than the diameter of the anchor, allowing the crystal bone to override the anchor platform providing the switching of the platform, thus improving support of the anchor cone and seal, the mucosa seal and prevent the resorption of the alveolar bone.
[0025] Consequently, optional applications of the present patent application provide control of the diameter of the pivot with respect to the diameter of the anchor.
[0026] More preferably, to adhere to biochemical principles, the pivot assembly should most preferably be adjusted to be substantially perpendicular to the occlusal plane and only parallel to adjacent pivots and / or teeth. In this way, essentially defining only one insertion and recovery passage that is substantially parallel to the pivot axis. This provides the restoration with full adjustment, and the restoration margins to passively reject and carefully fit the finish line. This, in turn, synergistically increases retention and resistance, and determines that implant structures, implant elements and perio-implant tissues are not subject to tension.
[0027] Allowing the creation of an insertion and recovery passage, more preferably the adjustable pivot in accordance with the present patent application provides passive recovery and retrofitting of a restoration. This provides maintenance of the implant, for example, including, but not limited to, the performance of additional surgical procedures, replacement of the pivot or prosthodontic elements, exercise of hygienic evaluation, allows adjustment of the restoration in case an implant is lost, or the like.
[0028] More preferably, the adjustable pivot assembly according to the present application for a patent provides a stable, rigid and secure connection between the pivot assembly and optional anchors.

[0033] In the text of this application, the term apical plane and / or apical end refers to this part of the pivot and / or pivot member positioned and / or directed towards the apex of the tooth, for example, towards the root.
[0034] In the text of this application, the term prostodontic requirements refers to the biological requirement, aesthetic requirement and functional requirements that adhere to the biochemical principles more preferably to ensure a correct result of the restoration with respect to the individual's morphology and / or clinical situation.
[0035] In the text of this application, the term angle refers to the angle assumed by the pivot according to the present patent application, in the form of standardization and / or adjustment, with respect to the occlusal plane, axis of the implant anchor and / or mounting member and / or alveolar bone and / or adjacent teeth, pivot, restoration, in the same and / or in the opposite mandible.
[0036] In the text of this application, the term direction refers to the direction assumed by the pivot of the present patent application, in the form of standardization and / or adjustment, characterized by the direction being defined by a pivot projection within any 360 degrees of the occlusal plane.
[0037] In the text of this application, the term position refers to the spatial arrangement of the pivot of the present patent application, in the form of standardization and / or adjustment, derived and / or described by the angle, direction, and distance between the adjacent anatomical structures, for example, including but not limited to tongue, lips, or the like.

Optionally and preferably, the surface of the glove can be configured so that it provides an anti-rotational surface.
[00190] Optionally, the shape of hole 5a can be standardized according to the shape of the 50s glove assembly. For example, once the glove assembly 50s is adjusted and dimensioned on the axis of pivot 12, the outer glove 54 can be removed and used to form and pattern hole 5a of restoration 5, glove 54 can form a standardized hole 5th. More preferably, this ensures correct fitting and sealing and marginal sealing of the pivot 10 assembly with restoration 5. In this way, the technician who prepares the prosthodontic restoration 5 can be provided with the second glove 54 for mounting inside the mounting hole 5a, and thus the hole 5a can be formed with the corresponding shape of the pivot assembly 10. When the professional then assembles the prosthodontic restoration 5 comprising the hole 5a formed from the glove 54, in the assembly of the pivot 10, the prosthodontic restoration 5 can be profitably on the pivot merely by sliding the second sleeve 54, disposed within the mounting hole 5a, on the first sleeve 52 mounted on the mounting of the pivot 10 on the axis 12.
[00191] More preferably, this configuration achieves a high level of friction between the members of the glove assembly 50s due to the AP fitting between the surfaces of the inner glove 52 and the outer glove 54, providing passive retention of prosthodontic restorations. Thus, the prosthodontic restoration 5a can be easily placed on the pivots and passively retained therein. Optionally and preferably, this concentric and / or telescopic configuration on the members of the glove assembly 50s still allows recovery of the restoration 5 of the axis 12, as may become necessary. Most preferably, recovery of restoration 5 makes it easier to remove the prosthodontic restoration 5 without causing any damage to a restoration 5 and / or to the pivot assembly 10. This is particularly useful when the prosthodontic restoration 5 must be removed to allow for additional maintenance of restoration 5, assembly of pivot 10, anchor 32, or the host tissue.
[00192] Figures 11A-B show an optional application for an internal flanged sleeve 52b and corresponding outer sleeve 54b. More preferably, the inner sleeve 52b comprises a portion of the rim 53 provided to increase the diameter of the sleeve 52b by providing a base that is, more preferably, wider than the diameter of the interface member 40. Optionally and preferably, the rim 53 provides and defines a finishing line for mounting pivot 10. More preferably, rim 53 provides a platform finishing line on which restoration 5 can be placed according to biochemical principles. More preferably, the part of the rim 53 is provided so that it can be on the flange 46, 46a or member of the interface 40 and effectively allows to enlarge the flange 46, 46a, or the occlusal end of the anchor 32. More preferably, the flanged sleeve inner 52b is also provided with a coupling part 52c provided to associate with the interface member 40 on the opening 43 and / or part of the inner surface 44. Optionally, the coupling part 52c can be configured directly to couple and / or associate with an anchor 32 over a hole 36. Optionally, the coupling part 52c can be configured to couple and / or associate with an external interface disposed on the anchor 32, for example, in the form including, but not limited to an internal hex.
[00193] Optionally, the shape of the sleeve 52b can be cylindrical and more preferably tapered, as shown.
[00194] More preferably, the part of the rim 53 still allows to associate with the external sleeve 54b, which, in turn, associates with the restoration 5 Optional and more preferably, over the hole 5a.
[00195] Optionally and preferably, the inner sleeve 52b and the outer sleeve 54b comprise the corresponding male / female coupling members provided as anti-rotational measurements to prevent the outer sleeve 54b from rotating over the inner sleeve 52b. For example, pins 54L disposed on the outer sleeve 54b can be provided to associate with a corresponding anti-rotation recess 52d disposed on the inner sleeve 52b, providing an anti-rotation measurement thereon.
[00196] Now with reference to FIG. 11C shows another optional application for a glove 50r comprising an edge portion 53. Optionally, the glove 50r can be provided as an independent glove 50, or as a member of the glove assembly 50s, for example, in the form of an inner glove 52 or outer glove 54.

Optionally and preferably, the rim part 53 can be contoured and formed with respect to the contour and shape of the flange 46, 46a. More preferably, the rim part 53 can be provided to close and / or cover the opening 43 of the interface member 40 on the flange 46, 46a. More preferably, the part of the ring 53 can form the finishing line. Optionally and preferably, when the glove 50r comprising the rim 53 is made in the form of an external glove 54 it provides a marginal fit with the restoration 5.
[00197] An optional application of the present patent application, similar to that described and shown in FIG. 11A-C, allows to create a finishing line for mounting pivot 10 with a dedicated final line member (not shown) functioning similarly to the rim 53 described above. The end line member can, for example, be provided in the form of a disc and / or ring type washer or structure that can interface with the flange 46, 46a, apical end of the sleeve 50a, or directly with the occlusal end of anchor 32. Optionally, sleeve 50, 50s, 52, 54 can come into contact with a washer, or similar ring structure (not shown), arranged on interface member 40 on flange 46, 46a. Optionally, the end line member, for example, in the form of a washer (not shown) can have a peripheral diameter greater than the diameter of the interface member 40 and an inner diameter smaller than the sleeve 50 and the interface member 40, configured therein to allow the sleeve 50 to be on the washer surface while the washer is on the flange 46, 46a of the interface member 40. The washer can be arranged on the flange 46, 46a of the raised rim part 47 and on the axis 12. Thus, when the sleeve 50 is attached to the axis 12, the apical end 50a abuts the washer on which the restoration 5 is optionally placed, a second sleeve member 54 can also be coupled on the pivot assembly 10 comprising the washer . It is observed that the end line member, for example, in the form of a washer can be selected according to the diameter of the sleeve 50, the interface member 40, and axis 12. Thus, the interface member 40 can be used with a glove having any desired diameter, regardless of the diameter of the interface member 40. An optional application provides a glove comprising a stop member (not shown) disposed on the inner and / or luminal surface 50c of the glove 50, 52. Optionally and preferably , the stop member can be provided to act as a shock absorber and / or as a point for absorbing plastic force.

Optionally and preferably, the stop member allows to associate with the axis 12 on the occlusal part 12a. More preferably, the stop member prevents and / or delays the rupture of shaft 12 when undue forces are applied when adjusting shaft 12. More preferably, the stop members provide a predefined and configured shock absorber and / or structural break point and / or absorption point and / or force absorption point and / or plastic point, configured so that a stop and glove member 50, 52 absorbs any undue force applied to the axis 12 while it is adjusted, preferably maintaining it structural integrity of shaft 12.
[00198] An optional application allows the sleeve 5 of the restoration 5 to be mounted on the pivot 10 and particularly the shaft 12. Optionally, the sleeve 50, 52 can serve as a mold to form the composite construction on the occlusal part 12a of the shaft 12. The mold can be formed by inserting a moldable filler material into a sleeve mounted on the shaft 12, and optionally removed after being formed around the occlusal part 12a. Optionally, this composite construction can directly allow to mount and / or couple the prosthodontic restoration 5 on the axis 12 in interface with the composite construction arranged therein.
[00199] Now with reference to FIGS. 12A-D showing perspective views of an optional long lock nut 70 to figures 12 A-B and FIGS. 12C-D showing a similar view of an optional short lock nut 70. FIGS. 12B and 12D show the respective cross-sectional views of the closing nut 70 of FIGS. 12A and 12C.
[00200] More preferably, the nut 70 can be provided with a pivot end 70a provided for coupling in the assembly of pivot 10 on the shaft 12 and a restoration end 70r that interfaces with the restoration 5. Preferably the internal threading on the pivot end 70a allows coupling to pivot 10 on the axis 12 with the corresponding thread on the engaging part 13. Preferably the internal thread on the restoration end 70r can allow coupling to an element of the restoration closure surface, for example example, lock nut plug 72 (not shown) having corresponding threading.
[00201] Optionally and preferably, nut 70 can be provided with an external surface 70c in step, as shown, arranged on its end of pivot 70a, to center and lock nut 70 with the assembly of pivot 10 and / or sleeve 50, 52.
[00202] Optionally and preferably, the locknut plug 72 (not shown) can be provided to cover and close the restoration surface 5. More preferably, the locknut plug 72 allows to close and interface between the end restoration 70r from locknut 70 and restoration 5. Optionally, plug 72 can be provided with optional surfaces to complete the occlusal restoration surface 5. Optionally, plug 72 can be supplied from the same restoration materials 5.
[00203] Figure 13 is a lateral cross-sectional view of a jaw bone 55, having dental implant 30 as illustrated in figures 1 implanted in it, between natural teeth 56, according to an example of the subject currently revealed. The dental implant 30 is attached to the jaw bone 55 by screwing on it the screw thread 34 defined on the outer periphery of the anchor 32, functioning as a natural root of a tooth. The interface member 40 is arranged in the opening 37 of the hole 36 in a shape that allows the hexagonal part 42 to interface with the hexagonal interface 38 defined on the inner periphery of the opening 37, thus excluding the rotational displacement of the interface member 40 .
[00204] The shaft mounting member 16 disposed on the apical end of the pivot shaft 12 is inserted into the hole 36 of the anchor 32 after insertion through the opening 43 of the interface member 40. The shaft mounting member 16 can be fixed to anchor 32 by screwing means 19 at the apical end of the pivot shaft 12 and a corresponding screw thread 33 defined at least over a part of the inner periphery of the hole 36. The rotation of the pivot shaft 12 to secure the screw thread 19 and the corresponding screw thread 33 can be made by means of engaging a tool, such as a wrench, with a screw head interface 17, or optionally by means of the tools dedicated in this way.
[00205] When the mounting member 16 of the pivot shaft 12 is completely inserted into the hole 36, the stabilizing part 15 preferably engages correspondingly to the part of the cone 44 defined on the inner opening surface 43. The downward slope of the stabilization part 15 more evenly distributes the forces applied by the prosthodontic restoration through sleeve 50, axis 12, and anchor 32, on bone 55 below. It will be seen that the interface member 40 can be arranged so that the flange 46 is flush with the margin of the anchor 32 or alternatively is raised from the anchor, for example, with raised rim 47, according to the morphological and restoration requirement.
[00206] More preferably, the arrangement on the mounting of the pivot 10 transfers the forces through the axis 12, the stabilizing part 15, the mounting member 16 and the anchor 32 to the bone. In addition, the center arrangement allows for the peripheral transfer of forces through the filling material and at least one glove 50 and / or outer glove 54 of the glove assembly 50s, to the interface member 40 on the flange 46 and the anchor, on the bone .
[00207] Furthermore, the formation of the pivot assembly 10 with the necessary position, geometry and shape provides the restoration with the optimum insertion and recovery passage, leading to passive support and passive retention. That is, that the assembly of the pivot 10 of the subject currently revealed allows to mount the restoration 5 passively with optimal contact between them, preferably without the use of adhesive material and optionally with a retaining screw 70 and plug 72 (not shown).
[00208] As best seen in FIGS. 14A and 14B, the axis 12 can be adjusted to a desired position to allow correct alignment of the pivot assembly 10 with respect to the other pivots and / or residual teeth in the same or opposite jaw. The axis 12 can be adjusted in more than one location along its length, over at least one or more adjustment part 14, to achieve the proper positioning of the axis 12. For example, the axis 12 can be adjusted to assume a first angle 20 in its apical part and can be further adjusted to form a second angle 22 in an occlusal part thereof, to achieve the necessary position and shape of the pivot 10 assembly. More preferably, the adjustment of axis 12 can be carried out when the pivot 10 is fixedly fixed and / or coupled with anchor 32. Optionally, the axis of pivot 12 can be configured and / or adjusted by a doctor outside the patient's mouth, after the appropriate prosthodontic requirements and measurements have been considered to determine the position and shape of pivot 10 before fixedly coupling with anchor 32.
[00209] Since the direction, angle and length required for axis 12 are determined, sleeve 50 or set of sleeve 50s can be arranged on axis 12, with or without filling material between them. Optionally, since the sleeve 50 or inner sleeve 52 is completely arranged on the axis 12, the apical end of the sleeve 50a abuts the flange 46, 46a of the interface member 40.
