Summary of the Inventive Concept

The present invention relates to a dental implant system with a separable implant extension that addresses the limitations of existing dental implant systems by providing improved transport, stability, and ease of use.

Background and Problem Solved

The original dental implant patent has limitations in terms of transportation, stability, and ease of use. Specifically, the prior art does not provide adequate solutions for safe and undamaged transportation of dental implants, nor does it address the need for enhanced rotational stability and easy detachment of the implant extension. The present invention solves these problems by introducing a dental implant system with a separable implant extension that incorporates a shock-absorbing material for transportation, a spiral-shaped groove for enhanced rotational stability, a reinforced annular constriction to withstand increased torsional forces, and a quick-release mechanism for easy detachment.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The enhanced dental implant system comprises a separable implant extension with an improved splined shaft section, featuring a spiral-shaped groove that enhances rotational stability. The dental implant is packaged in a receptacle with a shock-absorbing material to prevent damage during transportation. The implant extension has a reinforced annular constriction designed to withstand increased torsional forces, and a quick-release mechanism allows for easy detachment of the implant extension from the dental implant. Additionally, the implant extension has a surface-treated section that enhances the bonding between the implant extension and the dental implant.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce several novel and non-obvious features, including the spiral-shaped groove for enhanced rotational stability, the shock-absorbing material for safe transportation, the reinforced annular constriction, the quick-release mechanism, and the surface-treated section for enhanced bonding. These features collectively provide a significant improvement over the original patent, addressing the limitations of existing dental implant systems.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept could include different materials or designs for the shock-absorbing material, various spiral-shaped groove patterns, or alternative quick-release mechanisms. Additionally, the inventive concept could be adapted for use in other medical implant systems, such as orthopedic or spinal implants.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The enhanced dental implant system has significant commercial potential in the dental implant market, which is expected to grow due to an increasing demand for dental implants. The inventive concept's improved transport, stability, and ease of use features make it an attractive solution for dental professionals and patients alike.
