Benefits of technology

This method allows for simultaneous dental implant placement and sinus augmentation, reducing the risk of membrane damage and shortening the integration time for bone graft material, thereby facilitating faster implant anchoring and prosthesis installation.

Problems solved by technology

However, cutting through the boney wall and lifting the membrane can lead to tearing or puncturing of the membrane if not done carefully, and this requires the membrane to be immediately repaired, postponing the sinus augmentation procedure until healing of the membrane is complete.

first embodiment

[0079]Referring to FIG. 2, a dental implant according to the second aspect of the invention, generally designated with the numeral 100, is in the form of a generally tubular body 105, comprising a proximal portion 110 having a proximal end 120, a distal portion 150 having a distal end 160, and a generally rectilinear lumen or passageway 130 longitudinally extending through the proximal portion 110 and the distal portion 150.

[0080]The proximal portion 110 is configured for enabling a prosthesis 190 having a prosthesis mounting arrangement 196 to be mounted to the implant 100, and thus comprises a head 121 that is configured for mounting therein the particular prosthesis 190 using any suitable prosthesis engagement arrangement. For example, such a prosthesis engagement arrangement may comprise an internal bore 122 comprising internal threads 125 that are configured to be engaged with the external threads 195 of the prosthesis mounting arrangement 196, which projects distally from the ...

second embodiment

[0097]In the second embodiment, at least the closed distal end 260 is made from a transparent material, that is also biocompatible, such as for example glass or a suitable transparent polymer, or any suitable material—for example a sapphire stone—thereby providing a direct line-of-sight (LOS) from the proximal opening 262 and through the distal end 260 along axis 101. The remainder of the implant 200 may be made from an alternative material, for example titanium.

[0098]In the second embodiment, the distal end 260 also has a blunt form, and is devoid of any sharp, serrated or otherwise cutting surfaces, edges, protrusions or other surface features that are configured for cutting, slicing or puncturing tissue, especially tissue such as the sinus membrane 906 of the maxilla 900, similarly to the distal end 160 of the first embodiment of the implant 100, mutatis mutandis. In the second embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4, the distal end 260 has a convex surface, for example a hemispherical ...

Abstract

A dental implant installation procedure is provided in which a distal end of a dental implant is projected into a paranasal sinus cavity or a nasal cavity to thereby displace the respective sinus membrane or nasal cavity membrane from the respective cavity floor, while minimizing risk of damaging the respective membrane. Bone graft material is introduced into the space thereby created between the respective membrane and the respective cavity floor via a distal portion of the dental implant to thereby form a desired sinus augmentation.
