Customized Dental Prosthesis For Periodontal or Osseointegration and Related Systems

Abstract

Custom dental prosthesis or implants each individually designed and manufactured to replace nonfunctional natural teeth positioned in a jawbone of a specific pre-identified patient are provided. An example dental prosthesis/implant includes a dental implant body having a prosthesis interface formed therein to receive an occlusally-facing dental prosthesis component. The prosthesis interface has a custom three-dimensional surface shape positioned and formed to create a form locking fit with respect to the occlusally-facing dental prosthesis component when positioned thereon.

That claimed is: 
     
         1 . A dental prosthesis to replace a specific natural tooth of a pre-identified patient, the dental prosthesis to be integrated into a receiving jawbone cavity structure of the pre-identified patient corresponding to the specific natural tooth, the dental prosthesis being a finished manufactured product prior to its insertion into the receiving jawbone cavity structure, wherein the dental prosthesis comprises:
 a root body, the root body configured to be positioned in and substantially integrated into and adopted by at least one of the following: a jawbone structure of the pre-identified patient and a periodontal ligament structure of the pre-identified patient, defining the receiving jawbone cavity structure,   wherein the root body comprises a spatial custom root surface shape dimensionally correlated to a corresponding spatial surface shape of at least one of the following: a root portion of the specific natural tooth of the pre-identified patient and the receiving jawbone cavity structure, and   wherein the root body comprises a biocompatible enhancement material selected from the group consisting of: a mineral trioxide substance; a cement substance; a diamond substance; a natural tissue substance; a cell substance; a protein substance; and combinations thereof   
     
     
         2 . A dental prosthesis as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the root body is configured to be positioned in and substantially integrated into and adopted by the jawbone structure of the pre-identified patient, and the biocompatible enhancement material is configured to promote bone integration. 
     
     
         3 . A dental prosthesis as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the root body is configured to be positioned in and substantially integrated into and adopted by the periodontal ligament structure of the pre-identified patient, and the biocompatible enhancement material is configured to promote periodontal ligament regeneration. 
     
     
         4 . A dental prosthesis as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the spatial custom root surface shape dimensionally matches the corresponding spatial surface shape of the root portion of the specific natural tooth. 
     
     
         5 . A dental prosthesis as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the spatial custom root surface shape dimensionally matches an oversized representation of the corresponding spatial surface shape of the root portion of the specific natural tooth. 
     
     
         6 . A dental prosthesis as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the spatial custom root surface shape dimensionally matches an undersized representation of the corresponding spatial surface shape of the root portion of the specific natural tooth. 
     
     
         7 . A dental prosthesis as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the spatial custom root surface shape dimensionally matches the corresponding spatial surface shape of the receiving jawbone cavity structure. 
     
     
         8 . A dental prosthesis as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the biocompatible enhancement material comprises the mineral trioxide substance. 
     
     
         9 . A dental prosthesis as defined in  claim 8 , wherein the mineral trioxide substance comprises a mineral trioxide aggregate. 
     
     
         10 . A dental prosthesis as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the biocompatible enhancement material comprises the cement substance. 
     
     
         11 . A dental prosthesis as defined in  claim 10 , wherein the cement substance includes a component selected from the group consisting of: glass-ionomer cement; hybrid-ionomer cement; resin-enforced cement; Ca(OH) 2 -cement; and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         12 . A dental prosthesis as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the biocompatible enhancement material comprises the diamond substance. 
     
     
         13 . A dental prosthesis as defined in  claim 12 , wherein the diamond substance comprises the nano-crystalline diamond substance. 
     
     
         14 . A dental prosthesis as defined in  claim 13 , wherein the nano-crystalline diamond substance forms a nano-crystalline diamond coating on the root body. 
     
     
         15 . A dental prosthesis as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the biocompatible enhancement material comprises the natural tissue substance. 
     
     
         16 . A dental prosthesis as defined in  claim 15 , wherein the natural tissue substance includes a component selected from the group consisting of: a portion of a natural tooth; a portion of a natural root; natural cementum; and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         17 . A dental prosthesis as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the biocompatible enhancement material comprises the cell substance. 
     
     
         18 . A dental prosthesis as defined in  claim 17 , wherein the cell substance includes a component selected from the group consisting of: ancestral cells; cell parts of a tooth; and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         19 . A dental prosthesis as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the root surface material comprises the protein substance. 
     
     
         20 . A dental prosthesis as defined in  claim 19 , wherein the protein substance includes a component selected from the group consisting of: enamel matrix protein; Amelogenin; and combinations thereof.
