The present invention relates to an integrated hybrid dental implant, and more particularly, to an integrated hybrid dental implant in which an opening portion formed at a screw body to enable a drug to be injected into an implantation site of the implant, and the mechanical stability is excellent despite the presence of the opening portion. The integrated hybrid dental implant according to the present invention enables a drug to be supplied to the area around the implantation site so as to induce bone regeneration into the implant after the implant has been placed at a bone-deficient site, has an additional mechanical strength when bone grows into the side openings and hollow inner channel, and allows the screw body to be integrally formed with the prosthesis section (i.e., one piece) to exhibit more excellent mechanical strength so that the implant can be useful as a dental implant.

Integrated hybrid dental implant

The present invention provides for a hybrid dental implant having a screw body with at least one external thread, which includes an upper portion with an open ceiling configured to receive one or more bone inducing agents and/or therapeutic agents, a middle portion having a hollow inner channel connected to side openings, and a lower portion with a closed floor. The bone inducing agents and/or therapeutic agents are introduced through the open ceiling into the hollow inner channel into the side openings, which enables the bone tissue ingrowth into the hollow inner channel and bone tissue outgrowth from the hollow inner channel to the surrounding bone. It also provides for a method of installing and using the hybrid dental implant thereof.
