Abstract
Abstract This implant comprises a body (1) consisting of a smooth head (2) and of a cylindrical rod (3) threaded over the whole of its length, and whose end (13) is rounded, straight longitudinal grooves moreover being made starting from the rounded end (13) over part of the length of the threaded rod (3), and one or several diametral transverse holes (15) being formed at the halfway point or a lower point of the body (1) of the implant; these features permit a more intimate immobilization of the implant with the osseous elements in the bone socket (alveolus), and they contribute to limiting the compression of the bone and therefore oppose its becoming brittle through demineralization; the undestroyed osseous debris is collected in the grooves (14) and in the hole (15), which thus permits an ossification and a transvascularization the implant, the hole (15) moreover limiting the dehiscence of the bone from its smooth head (2).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
A surgical implant for osteo-integrated maxillo-facial implantation, comprising a longitudinal body which consists of a cylindrical rod having a substantially uniform diameter along its length, said cylindrical rod having a rounded end portion at the apical end of said rod, a smooth head portion at the other end of said rod, and a threaded portion between said rounded end portion and said smooth head portion, said cylindrical rod being threaded over the entire length of said threaded portion, said rod having at least two longitudinal grooves formed externally on said rod and extending from a point within said rounded end portion to a point within said threaded portion of said rod, and said rod being pierced with at least one diametral transverse hole at a point substantially midway along the length of said rod within said threaded portion of said rod.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
141 words
A surgical implant for osteo-integrated maxillo-facial implantation, comprising a longitudinal body which consists of a cylindrical rod having a substantially uniform diameter along its length, said cylindrical rod having a rounded end portion at the apical end of said rod, a smooth head portion at the other end of said rod, and a threaded portion between said rounded end portion and said smooth head portion, said cylindrical rod being threaded over the entire length of said threaded portion, said rod having at least two longitudinal grooves formed externally on said rod and extending from a point within said rounded end portion to a point within said threaded portion of said rod, and said rod being pierced with at least one diametral transverse hole at a point substantially midway along the length of said rod within said threaded portion of said rod.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
148 words
A surgical implant for osteo-integrated maxillo-facial implantation, comprising a longitudinal body which consists of a cylindrical rod having a substantially uniform diameter along its length, said cylindrical rod having a rounded end portion at the apical end of said rod, a smooth head portion at the other end of said rod, and a threaded portion between said rounded end portion and said smooth head portion, said cylindrical rod being threaded over the entire length of said threaded portion, said rod having at least two longitudinal grooves formed externally on said rod and extending from a point within said rounded end portion to a point within said threaded portion of said rod, and said rod being pierced with at least one diametral transverse hole at a point offset from the midway point of said rod towards the apical end of said rod within said threaded portion of said rod.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
148 words
A surgical implant for osteo-integrated maxillo-facial implantation, comprising a longitudinal body which consists of a cylindrical rod having a substantially uniform diameter along its length, said cylindrical rod having a rounded end portion at the apical end of said rod, a smooth head portion at the other end of said rod, and a threaded portion between said rounded end portion and said smooth head portion, said cylindrical rod being threaded over the entire length of said threaded portion, said rod having at least two longitudinal grooves formed externally on said rod and extending from a point within said rounded end portion to a point within said threaded portion of said rod, and said rod being pierced with at least one diametral transverse hole at a point offset from the midway point of said rod towards the apical end of said rod within said threaded portion of said rod.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
40 words
An implant according to claim 1 or 2, wherein said smooth head portion of said body comprises a first cylindrical end zone and a second cylindrical zone, said second cylindrical zone connecting said rod to said first cylindrical end zone.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
14 words
An implant according to claim 3 wherein said first cylindrical end zone is coronal.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim

Claim 8
Dependent Claim
14 words
An implant according to claim 3, wherein said first cylindrical end zone is percutaneous.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
20 words
An implant according to claim 1 or 2, wherein said longitudinal grooves extend approximately half the length of said rod.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
15 words
An implant according to claim 1 or 2, wherein said rounded end portion is semi-spherical.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
35 words
An implant according to claim 1 or 2, wherein said terminal end of said first cylindrical end zone has a cavity which is internally threaded for engagement with a pillar for supporting a prosthetic member.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
31 words
An implant according to claim 1 or 2, wherein said rod is pierced with a plurality of diametral transverse holes between the apical end and the midway point of said rod.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
