Title:
DENTAL IMPLANT DESIGN WITH ENHANCED SURFACE AREA, TORQUE RESISTANCE AND IMPROVED STRESS DISSIPATION TO BONE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/152770
Kind Code:
A4
Abstract:
The present invention is describing an implant design which incorporates a dental implant with hexagonal/octagonal/square tunnel or cylinder with Hat wall along the central axis of implant for collecting bone chips, blood, osteoblasts during implant insertion where bone will grow and form 'locking block of bone" with far more potential to resist the rotational torque/couple force, rather than grooves on outside periphery. Further, this tunnel increases the overall surface area of the implant and metal gets replaced by vital bony tissue. Therefore, the present invention focuses on implant design which provides increased surface area of bone-to-implant contact, improving load transmission and accommodating resistance to torque forces.

Claims:
AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 07 August 2023 (07.08.2023)

WE CLAIM:

1. A dental implant comprising of an apical region and a root region, characterized in that: the apical region possesses tapered geometry having a tunnel (A) with flat wall along with the central axis for Implant insertion and bone growth; the root part having a tapered female housing (B) for tapering with male abutment extension (D); and wherein part of abutment extends into oral cavity and help in attachment of prosthesis/crown and wherein the said dental implant possesses a hollow core extending from its upper to lower end which forms a tunnel within the dental implant and has at least one flat surface; to create a lighter weight dental implant compared to those that are partially or entirely solid.

2. The dental implant as claimed in claim 1, wherein the provision of tunnel is for collecting bone chips, blood and osteoblasts during implant insertion.

3. The dental implant as claimed in claim 1, wherein the bone structure forms within the implant body, specifically along the device’s central axis of the device which contributes to resist the compressive, bending and shear forces.

4. The dental implant as claimed in claim 1, wherein the said block of bone in central axis transmits the compressive loads to bone and helps in short implants with less than 8 mm height or reduced bone density.

5. The dental implant as claimed in claim 1, wherein the said dental implant possess modulus of elasticity (MoE) closer to the bone for better interface survival.

AMENDED SHEET (ARTICLE 19)

6. The dental implant as claimed in claim 1, wherein the said dental implant the device can be placed in any bone after preparing an osteotomy and the bone harvested during osteotomy can be filled in the said tunnel followed by screwing it in the osteotomy.

7. The dental implant as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the said tunnel increases the implant's surface area, the tunnel promotes the replacement of metal with essential bony tissue, resulting in improved performance in challenging bone quality scenarios through enhanced bone-implant contact, superior load distribution, and increased load resistance.

8. The dental implant as claimed in claim 1, wherein the said device does not require, notches, grooves, slots, vents etc on the threads present over the surface of this device and make it less prone to fracture by the cyclic bending forces.
