ABSTRACT:
A method for the oral implantation of a dental prosthesis inside a tooth socket. This method comprises two basic steps, namely (a) creation of an artificial socket inside the maxillary bone and (b) implantation of a rigid support in the so-created socket to fix the prosthesis tooth. The first step is carried out by introducing a thin, sharp cutting tool having two cutting edges, in a predetermined direction in the depth of the bone using a thin probe as a guide for the blade, and subsequently opening the lateral walls of the hole formed by the cutting tool with a punch-shaped tool to create the artificial socket. The second step is carrying out by inserting inside the so created socket a scissors-like element comprising a pair of sharp blades each having a toothed edge, and subsequently separating these blades by introducing a thin pin between each other in such a manner that the teeth extending from the edges of the blades penetrate inside the walls or the artificial socket. To ease the introduction of the scissors-like element inside the socket, its blades can advantageously be located inside a toothed sleeve which can previously be inserted inside the artificial socket. The external ends of the pin and of the blades may serve as a support for the implantation of a prosthesis crown. This method advantageously allows the implantation of a dental prosthesis that is stable and rigid in position without loss of substance, risk of rejection and period of convalescence. These advantages result from the constriction of the blades between the walls of the artificial socket formed in the maxillary bone. An implant for use in the above described method is also disclosed and claimed.
