What changed

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued patent US12582508B2, titled "Omni-abutment core and methods of use," to ESTHETIC IMPLANT SOLUTIONS, LLC. The patent describes an omni-abutment designed to serve as a foundational component for dental scanning, impression taking, and stability testing, ultimately aiming to streamline the fabrication of dental prostheses. Key features include specific apical connection portions, coronal superstructures, and novel design elements such as alignment indents, internal grooves, peripheral recesses for adhesion, and internal threading.

This patent grant is primarily an intellectual property notification and does not impose direct regulatory obligations on dental professionals or manufacturers. However, it signifies a new innovation in the dental device market. Companies involved in the manufacturing or use of dental abutments and prostheses should be aware of this granted patent, as it may impact product development, market entry, and potential licensing considerations within the dental industry.

Abstract

An omni-abutment includes (i) an apical connection portion that mates/attaches with the receiving portion on a corresponding implant; and (ii) a coronal superstructure. The dental abutment provides features that are not currently found in abutments on the market, allowing the abutment to be used as a key foundation for scanning, impression taking, stability testing, and much more which ultimately would lead to an easier restorative process and fabrication of a dental prosthesis. The abutment could also be used for fabrication of a final prosthesis. The abutment may include alignment indents or protrusions in a platform thereof, internal grooves (e.g., square or rounded) as a tri-lobe or other configuration in the central axial hollow channel, recesses (e.g., divots, grooves) in the exterior periphery for increased adhesion to a gingival healing cuff, internal threading in the hollow channel, and a hex, NC or other connection at the apical connection portion.
