This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,857,390.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

The present inventive concept relates to a dental implant system with an adjustable implant extension and advanced transportation features, ensuring safe and efficient transportation of dental implants to treating physicians, thereby reducing the risk of contamination and damage.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent disclosed a dental implant with a separable implant extension, which still poses limitations in terms of transportation safety and efficiency. The present inventive concept addresses these limitations by introducing an adjustable implant extension, dynamically adjustable receptacles, and integrated sensors and sterilization units, thereby ensuring the safe and efficient transportation of dental implants.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The enhanced dental implant system comprises a dental implant with an adjustable implant extension, allowing for adaptation to varying bone densities. The system also features a receptacle with a dynamically adjustable internal compartment to securely hold the dental implant during transportation. Additionally, the receptacle is equipped with a built-in sensor to detect and alert users of potential contamination or damage during transportation. Furthermore, the implant extension is coated with a bio-compatible material to reduce the risk of implant rejection. The system also includes a sterilization unit integrated into the receptacle to sterilize the dental implant prior to implantation.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce the concept of an adjustable implant extension, dynamically adjustable receptacles, integrated sensors, and sterilization units, which are not disclosed in the original patent. These features provide a significant improvement in transportation safety and efficiency, thereby constituting a novel and non-obvious inventive step.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept could include varying designs for the adjustable implant extension, different materials for the bio-compatible coating, or alternative sterilization methods. Additionally, the receptacle could be designed with varying internal compartment geometries or with additional features such as temperature control or humidity monitoring.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The enhanced dental implant system has significant commercial potential in the dental industry, particularly among dental implant manufacturers and treating physicians. The system's advanced transportation features and integrated sensors and sterilization units can reduce the risk of contamination and damage, resulting in cost savings and improved patient outcomes.
