Embodiment Construction

[0015] For the purposes of the present invention and claims, unless otherwise indicated, it is to be understood that figures expressing amounts of ingredients, percentages or proportions of materials and other numerical values ​​used in the description and claims are modified in all instances by the term "about". Accordingly, unless indicated to the contrary, the numerical parameters set forth in the following specification and appended claims are approximations that can vary depending upon the desired properties to be obtained by the present invention. At the very least, and not intending to limit the application of the doctrine of equivalents to the scope of the claims, each numerical parameter should at least be construed in light of the number of reported significant digits and by applying ordinary rounding techniques.

[0016] Notwithstanding that the numerical ranges and parameters setting forth the broad scope of the invention are approximations, the numerical values ​​s...

Abstract

An implantable screw for maintaining space during bone grafting procedures is provided, where the screw has a highly-polished contoured head having a region adapted to support soft tissue, a threaded shaft and a tip adapted to penetrate bone tissue. Also provided, a device combining multiple implantable screws in series in order to increase the available space to grow new bone and a method for implanting the implantable screw. The implantable screws provided may be used in conjunction with bone graft materials and are removable once a desired amount of new bone is generated.

Description

Background technique [0001] The successful use of dental implants is well known and well documented in the art. Although dental implant procedures have been performed successfully for many years, the success of a placement of a dental implant is limited by the quality and quantity of existing bone in a given patient. Due to the destructive nature of dentures on the jawbone, many people have very limited bone mass for dental implants. [0002] In addition, atrophy can occur when the jawbone is not subjected to occlusal loading. Consequently, when teeth are not replaced with dental implants, atrophy can occur over time. As a result, when someone has been partially toothless for a long time, they may suffer from atrophic alveoli, which are not able to firmly support tooth implants. Degeneration of the alveolar has several consequences, including reducing the patient's ability to chew and destroying aesthetics. [0003] In this case, bone grafting has become an integral part o...
