However, as time passes, and the patient's comfort level rises, the use of the more rigid plastic inserts may become desirable.

  • the primary idea here is to ignore the concept of a precise osteotomy and think of the site procedure as comparable to developing a minimal "starter" hole.
  • a dental implant into the pilot opening through overlying attached gingiva on the ridge crest is facilitated using a small implant carrier device and then using the same device to initiate the self -tapping process by turning the carrier clockwise between thumb and index finger while exerting downward pressure on the abutment held in the long axis of the implant.
  • This process provides the initial "take” into bone of the threaded portion of the implant body, and is enhanced by the presence of the small "flat” without threads, which is advantageously located about one-third the distance from the apex of the implant, which permits any small bony particle accumulation to build up in the area of the "flat” helping to avoid a significant interference with the ongoing insertion process, and with time in situ, acting also as an autogenous bone graft focus, or stop which when fully calcified functions as an implant anti-rotation barrier, reducing the likelihood that any istrogenic counterclockwise moments of force could work negatively to back out the implant.

Graduating from O-Ring to plastic attachment is entirely possible as a routine progression where indicated by the need for more positive retentive force, since the total replacement of one attachment for another is a matter of a brief intraoral procedure which is readily accomplished.
  • Step-by-step the intra-oral retrofit of any removable prosthesis utilizing the O-ball abutment and keeper cap with either an O-ring attachment or plastic attachment, is as follows. Transfer the head position of the abutment(s) to the removable prosthesis tissue bearing undersurface. Using an acrylic laboratory carbide or equivalent instrument, excavate out the area of the abutments.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un implant dentaire d'une pièce (40) comprenant une tige filetée (43) à extrémité conique, une butée non circulaire (42) à l'autre extrémité et une tête sphérique (41) montée sur la butée non circulaire (42). Les implants dentaires de l'invention (40) offrent l'avantage d'être fabriqués d'un seul tenant et, par conséquent, de ne pas comprendre de multiples pièces pouvant se désolidariser au fil du temps. L'invention se rapporte également à un capuchon de fixation (47) utilisé avec les implants dentaires précités, qui est apte à retenir en place des inserts toriques (45) ou des inserts en plastique (46). On peut facilement changer les inserts en tout temps sans devoir enlever le capuchon de fixation (47) de la prothèse ni former une nouvelle prothèse autour de nouveaux capuchons. L'implant dentaire (40) et le capuchon de fixation (47) de l'invention font partie d'une trousse comprenant également les inserts toriques (45) et les inserts en plastique (46), qui est utilisée pour la formation de prothèses fixes ou amovibles.
