Many people needing dental implants face a long and complicated process. When the jawbone is too thin or lacks enough volume, dentists must first perform a procedure called a sinus lift to add bone in the area. This means two separate surgeries and a waiting period of six months or more before the implant can be placed. Existing solutions do not reduce this long treatment time.
Key Features of the Invention
This new dental device combines a special implant, a guiding wire, and a unique fixing element that helps anchor the implant securely. The core innovation is a fixing element with holes and tabs that improves stability, promotes faster bone integration, and allows the implant to be placed sooner rather than waiting months for healing.
What Makes It Unique?
Unlike existing methods, this invention allows the implant to be placed at the same time as the sinus lift. The fixing element acts like a reinforcement structure that speeds up healing, eliminating the need for a second surgery. It also increases the implant’s contact area with the bone, making it more stable and reducing the risk of failure.
Tangible Benefits
- Cuts down treatment time from 6+ months to just one procedure.
- Speeds up healing by allowing blood flow through its special design.
- Reduces surgical complexity for both dentists and patients.
- Provides stronger, more reliable implants that are less likely to fail.
Broader Impact
This invention could revolutionize dental implantology by making implants more accessible, reducing patient discomfort, and improving the success rate of dental restoration. It has the potential to benefit millions of people worldwide, especially those with weaker bone structures. In short, this dental device makes getting implants faster, safer, and more efficient—a major step forward for both patients and dentists.
