Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method of manufacture of a dental implant for a molar, including acquiring, structural data corresponding to bones of the facial skeleton, the bones of the facial skeleton being proximate the molar, selecting, as a dental implant fixation surface, a surface of the bones based upon a determined thickness of the bones, generating, based on the selected dental implant fixation surface, a contoured surface of the dental implant, and fabricating, based upon an instruction transmitted by processing circuitry, a bone plate extending from a buccal end of a cylindrical plate of the dental implant, the cylindrical plate having support lattices extending therefrom, at least one support lattice of the support lattices being arranged on a lingual end of the cylindrical plate, the cylindrical plate having an opening in a central region thereof, the opening being configured to receive a dental post.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method of manufacture of a dental implant for a molar, comprising:
 acquiring, by processing circuitry, structural data corresponding to one or more bones of the facial skeleton, the one or more bones of the facial skeleton being proximate the molar;   selecting, by the processing circuitry and as a dental implant fixation surface, a surface of the one or more bones of the facial skeleton based upon a determined thickness of the one or more bones of the facial skeleton;   generating, by the processing circuitry and based on the selected dental implant fixation surface, a contoured surface of the dental implant; and   fabricating, based upon an instruction transmitted by the processing circuitry, a bone plate extending from a buccal end of a cylindrical plate of the dental implant, the cylindrical plate having support lattices extending therefrom, at least one support lattice of the support lattices being arranged on a lingual end of the cylindrical plate, the cylindrical plate having an opening in a central region thereof, the opening being configured to receive a dental post.   
     
     
         2 . The method of manufacture according to  claim 1 , wherein the bone plate is fabricated via direct metal laser sintering. 
     
     
         3 . The method of manufacture according to  claim 1 , wherein the structural data includes the determined thickness of the one or more bones of the facial skeletons. 
     
     
         4 . The method of manufacture according to  claim 1 , wherein the molar includes upper molar and lower molar. 
     
     
         5 . The method of manufacture according to  claim 1 , wherein the instruction is generated by the processing circuitry based upon the selection of the dental implant fixation surface and the generation of the contoured surface. 
     
     
         6 . The method of manufacture according to  claim 1 , wherein the dental post is connected to the molar. 
     
     
         7 . The method of manufacture according to  claim 1 , wherein the support lattices includes an aperture for fixation. 
     
     
         8 . The method of manufacture according to  claim 7 , wherein the support lattices are fixed to the facial skeleton by a screw inserted into alveolar cortices of the facial skeleton through the aperture. 
     
     
         9 . The method of manufacture according to  claim 1 , wherein the dental implant is titanium. 
     
     
         10 . The method of manufacture according to  claim 1 , wherein the dental post is frictionally-coupled to the opening of the cylindrical plate. 
     
     
         11 . A dental implant for a molar, comprising:
 a dental post;   a cylindrical plate having an opening in a central region thereof, the opening being configured to receive the dental post;   a bone plate extending from a buccal end of the cylindrical plate, the bone plate having a surface for contact with one or more bones of the facial skeleton, the surface being contoured relative to a surface of the one or more bones of the facial skeleton and based on a thickness of the one or more bones of the facial skeleton; and   support lattices coupled to the cylindrical plate, the support lattices extending from a lingual end the cylindrical plate, the support lattices including an aperture for fixation.   
     
     
         12 . The dental implant of  claim 11 , wherein the dental post is frictionally-coupled to the opening of the cylindrical plate. 
     
     
         13 . The dental implant of  claim 11 , wherein the dental implant is titanium. 
     
     
         14 . The dental implant of  claim 11 , wherein the support lattices are fixed to the facial skeleton by a screw inserted into alveolar cortices of the facial skeleton through the aperture. 
     
     
         15 . The dental implant of  claim 11 , wherein a bone graft alveolus extends around the dental post, the cylindrical plate, and the support lattices. 
     
     
         16 . The dental implant of  claim 11 , wherein the bone plate is fabricated via direct metal laser sintering. 
     
     
         17 . The dental implant of  claim 11 , wherein the molar includes upper molar and lower molar. 
     
     
         18 . The dental implant of  claim 11 , wherein a structure data corresponding to one or more bones of the facial skeleton including the thickness of the one or more bones of the facial skeleton is acquired by a processing circuitry. 
     
     
         19 . The dental implant of  claim 18 , wherein the processing circuitry further provides an instruction to fabricate the bone plate. 
     
     
         20 . A transalveolar dental implant (TDI) alignment/visual analog template apparatus, comprising:
 embedded copings to receive and align TDI devices into vertical osteotomies formed by a channel/cutting template apparatus, the TDI aligned by the TDI alignment/visual analog template apparatus being stabilized to facial skeleton, a prefabricated temporary prosthesis with the embedded copings located as in the TDI alignment/visual analog template being coupled to the TDI devices without any further adjustments or chairside customization.
