FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    The present invention relates to endosseous implants and in particular, to screw form dental implants for implanting within bone. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    A dental implants are provided to replace lost teeth in the oral cavity. Dental implant include various parts that come together to form a structure that replaces a tooth providing both esthetic and functional purposes. 
         [0003]    The dental implant generally includes a crown to replace the crown portion of the lost tooth, an implant in place of lost tooth root, where the crown and implant are coupled with one another with an implant abutment. All three parts function together to bring about a successful implant procedure. The implant provides the primary base and support structure of the implant and is therefore a central element to the success of the dental implant. 
         [0004]    The dental implant is generally provided as a screw-form device that generally includes a head portion and body portion. The head portion defines the coronal segment of the implant that is provided for facilitating tooling and coupling with other implant structures such as an abutment and crown. The body portion defined the apical segment of the implant that is provided for integrating with the bone allowing for osseointegration. 
         [0005]    The implant body portion has various designs that are designed according to many parameters including the bone type to be implanted, the location in which the implantation is to occur, (implantation site). The body portion includes threading along its length that are used to securely introduce the implant into the bone and allow for the implant to integration with the bone. 
         [0006]    Despite the advancement in implant design there is a continuing need to improve a dental implant&#39;s ability to osseointegrate that in turn will lead to improved implant stability and longevity. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0007]    The present invention relates to endosseous implants and in particular, to screw form dental implants for implanting within bone. 
         [0008]    Embodiments of the present invention provide a self-drilling dental implant that is configured to facilitate insertion and osseointegration by condensing, collecting, and distributing bone along all surfaces of the implant. Preferably collection and distribution is provided when the implant is rotated in either the clockwise or counterclockwise directions. Aspects of the present invention may be implemented so as to allow reconfiguration of the implant on all forms of a dental implant in any region of the maxilla and mandible. 
         [0009]    Optionally the dental implant of the present invention may be configured to be a molar dental implant replacing teeth in the molar region of the maxilla and/or mandible. 
         [0010]    The dental implant according to embodiments of the present invention is a self-drilling, self-tapping, self-collection bone and bone condensing. The implant according to embodiments of the present invention may be utilized at a heal site following bone growth or it may be utilized at an extraction site. 
         [0011]    Most preferably an implant according to the present invention is configured to collect and/or distribute bone along all of its surfaces therein increasing the bone implant contact (‘BIC’) improving the process of osseointegration. 
         [0012]    Preferably embodiments of the present invention provides for cutting, mixing, and directing bone within an implantation site. 
         [0013]    Preferably the implant according to the present invention may be utilized as a self-drilling implant to facilitate implantation within an extraction site socket and/or a cavity within bone structure, or a heal side extraction site. 
         [0014]    Optionally and preferably introducing the implant into an extraction site socket allows a practitioner to optimally maintain the Laminal Dura at the extraction site while simultaneously allowing the implant to engage and/or integrate with at least apportion of the Laminar Dura. Such optimal maintenance of the Laminar Dura significantly improves the overall healing period. 
         [0015]    Preferably the implant according to optional embodiments of the present invention provides an implant that functions as an instrument for distributing bone in all directions first by accumulating bone along the implant&#39;s surface. Similarly bone matter may be directed into different locations within an implantation site by way of maneuvering the implant in the clockwise and/or counterclockwise direction. Such implant maneuvering provides for direction bone in the upper (coronal) or lower (apical) portions of the implant. 
         [0016]    Embodiments of the present invention further provide for introducing bone matter and/or graft materials through the coronal opening of the flutes into the implantation site, either before and/or after integrating the implant within the mandible or maxilla.

         [0019]    Embodiments of the present invention provide a coronal portion having a smaller overall diameter that facilitates receiving more bone in and around the coronal portion. 
         [0020]    Preferably the configuration of the coronal portion having a smaller overall diameter than the body portion provide for pressure equalization, wherein the pressure on the implant may be evenly distributed along the length of the implant at the implantation site. This is a function of the fact that the coronal portion associates with cortical compact and/or dense bone while the body portion of the implant associate with less dense spongious bone. Accordingly having a smaller coronal portion and a wider body portion according to optional embodiment of the present invention provides for balancing the pressure along the length of the implant after implantation. Such pressure equalization delay, reduced and/or may prevent bone resorption due to imbalanced pressure distribution on the implant. The pressure equalization allows the implant to control and/or adjust the fixation torque as a function of the implant thread that is configured to facilitate cutting, tapping and collect bone when maneuvered in both the clockwise and counterclockwise directions. Optional embodiments allow both the body portion threads and coronal portion threads to be cutting thread allows for controlling the pressure along the length of the implant and bone material may be maneuvered around any portion of the implant.

Specifically a practitioner may utilize the implant according to the present invention to expand the bone in the buccal direction and therefore may position the implant in a clinically ideal position. Such directional control provides for controlling the implant&#39;s insertion angle and/or direction. 
         [0023]    Embodiments of the present invention and in particular control maneuvering and movement of bone within an implantation site by virtue of the ability of the implant to cut and distribute bone during rotation in both clockwise and counterclockwise direction, further allows a clinician to facilitate a sinus lifting procedure. Preferably maneuvering (rotating) the implant as needed so as to distribute and condense bone toward the apical end allows to facilitate bone growth in and around the implant apex.

         [0123]      FIG. 1A  shows a schematic block diagram representation of a dental implant showing the main aspects of dental implant. A dental implant  1  includes a coronal portion  2  and a body portion  4  that are continuous with one another. The coronal portion  2  defines the proximal end  1   p  of the bone implant and the body portion  4  defines the distal end of  1   d  the implant  1 . The body portion  4  comprises an inner core  4   i  that is fit with at least one threading  6  that extend horizontally along a horizontal plane  30   a  and progresses along the length of the implant body core  4 . The inner core  4  defines an internal diameter  4   i  of body portion  4  while the threading  6  defines the external diameter  4   e  of the body portion  4 . 
         [0124]    The shape and/or profile of body portion  4  may be highly variable and may assume a plurality of shapes and/or configurations and/or profiles for example including but not limited to straight, tapered, conical, cylindrical, linear, parallel, symmetric, asymmetric, trapezoidal, mixed conical, segmented, multi segmented and any combination thereof. 
         [0125]    Implant  1  may further comprise micro-threads  8  along either the coronal portion  2  and/or body portion  4 . Optionally body portion  4  may comprise both micro-threads  8  and threading  6 . 
         [0126]      FIG. 1B  shows a schematic block diagram representation of a dental implant threading  6  specifically showing aspects of dental implant thread.  FIG. 1B  shows different profiles of threading  6  that are known in the art having different characteristics. Thread  6  extends from the implant&#39;s core body portion  4  along a horizontal plane  30   a  represented by the dashed line. The horizontal plane  30   a  comprises two axes a first axis along the medial-lateral axis ‘M-L’, and a second axis, along the anterior-posterior axis ‘A-P’ extending around implant body  4 , for example as shown in  FIG. 8A   
         [0127]    The basic thread structure is an extension that has an apical side  32 , a coronal side  34 , and a lateral edge  36  that connects the apical side and the coronal side, a base  30   b  connecting the thread  6  to the implant core  4 , a thread depth  30   d  that is defined between the lateral edge  36  and the base  30   b.    
         [0128]    The thread may also be defined by a plurality of additional parameters that provided and/or determine the thread characteristics that depict how the thread behaves relative to the bone. Thread parameters may for example including but not limited to: the contour of the inter-thread-face  38 , the overall shape of the core body portion  4   i , how the threads progresses along the length of the implant body, the number of starts, number of flutes, thread pitch, thread dispersal along the implant body, the like or any combination thereof. 
         [0129]    Thread parameters and some known configurations are schematically shown in  FIG. 1B , where the thread may comprises a straight segments or curved edge that are defined along the coronal side  34  and/or the apical side  32  of the thread. The thread may be configured to be symmetric or asymmetric relative to the horizontal plane  30   a . The angulation of the thread, along any of its parts including the apical side  32 , coronal side  34 , lateral edge and inter-thread face  38  may be controlled. 
         [0130]    The below description refers to collectively to  FIG. 2-5  using the same reference labels for the same parts throughout the description. 
         [0131]      FIG. 2A  shows a schematic illustrative diagram of dental implant  100  according to an optional embodiment of the present invention. Anchor  100  comprises a proximal end  100   p  and a distal end  100   d , the distal end  100   d  also referred to as the apical end  126  of the implant. 
         [0132]    Implant  100  has a substantially cylindrical or conical or circular cylindrical form, including a coronal portion  110  and a body portion  120 . The body portion  120  comprising threading  124  that are fit with at least two or more flutes  122  disposed along the full length of implant  100 . 
         [0133]    The figures and description herewith depict an implant featuring coronal portion  110 , body portion  120 , threading  124  and at least two flutes  122 . However, the present invention is not limited in its scope to cover an implant having all of these features in a single body and/or embodiment. 
         [0134]    The present invention includes optional embodiments for an implant that may comprise at least one or more of the following features in any combination thereof, selected from the group consisting of: at least two flutes  122 , coronal segment  110 , and body core  120   c.    
         [0135]      FIG. 2A  shows coronal portion  110  described and shown is a non limiting example of an optional coronal portion  110  that may be provided with implant  100 . Coronal portion  110  is generally provided as an interfacing platform to facilitating coupling an implant with other dental implant components for example including but not limited to an abutment, a crown, a bridge, a dental prosthesis, an anatomical abutment, an angled abutment, a collar, a ball attachment, a healing cap, platform switching abutment, the like or any combination thereof. 
         [0136]    The coronal portion  110  may be provided with an internal interfacing platform  50 , for example as shown in  FIG. 2E , or an external interfacing platform (not shown). Optionally an external interfacing platform may for example include but is not limited to an external hex configuration as is known in the art. Optionally the interfacing platform  50  provide s for coupling the implant with other dental implant structures such as crowns, abutments, transfers or the like. Optionally the interfacing platform  50  may provide a tooling interface provided for maneuvering and/or tooling the implant  100 . 
         [0137]      FIG. 2D , shows the overall shape of the various parts and segments forming implant  100 . As shown coronal portion  110  and body portion  120  comprise substantially cylindrical body of varying diameter.
