The invention discloses a modular surgical bone screw assembly having a threaded base portion and a screw head adapted to attach a variety of structures to bone. The features of the screw include a modular design for the assembly that separates the function of anchorage to the recipient bone to one of the modules of the device (threaded portion) from the other function of attaching another element (such as bone block, membrane, orthodontic wires, elastics etc) to a second module (the screw head). The design also allows the head to be exchanged after the implant has been placed.

A series of a palatal expanders increasing width can be used to gradually expand a patient's palate. Each palatal expander may have a palatal region flanked by teeth regions. The palatal region can have a plurality of anchor-receiving features (e.g., anchor interfaces) that allow the palatal expander to be attached to temporary anchorage device anchors that have been implanted into the patient's maxilla.

A medical apparatus including a bar with a first attachment loop, a second attachment and a plurality of hooks, wherein the medical apparatus is an arch bar.

A problem is to provide an orthodontic implant device that can be easily prepared, and can extend a range of selection of materials forming an extension arm. A solution is the orthodontic implant device having: a pair of anchor members 10 which are fixed to a palate M1; a bridge member 20 arranged so as to link places between the pair of anchor members 10; an arrangement member 30 arranged in the bridge member 20; and an extension arm 40 to move teeth M2. The arrangement member 30 has a fixing portion 31 for fixing the extension arm 40, and a wire-shaped projection portion for arranging the fixing portion 31 in the bridge member 20.

A method for fixating or stabilizing a subject's mandible and maxilla includes providing multiple bone fasteners, providing two arch bars, attaching a first grouping of the bone fasteners to the subject's mandible, then securing the first arch bar to the first grouping of bone fasteners, attaching a second grouping of the bone fasteners to the subject's maxilla, then securing the second arch bar to the second grouping of bone fasteners, and then fastening the first arch bar to the second arch bar.

The invention proposes an orthodontic anchorage device, which may be used in combination with others, comprising a plate with two, three or four pointed end stems distributed on one of its surfaces and at least two holes at the ends adapted for the insertion of micro screws. These stems are intended to slightly rest on the bone through the palatine mucosa, preventing the entire appliance from digging into the palate.

An orthodontic dentistry for use in holistic treatment of patients with anomalies of the dentoalveolar system using orthodontic micro-implant. The source data includes a computer tomogram, cast teeth models, jaw model, and size of the micro-implants to be installed. Using cast teeth models, plaster dental models are casted and scanned to obtain a 3D printed model of the patient's jaw. Then, the computer tomogram and 3D model of the patient's jaw are combined. Based on the anatomy and shape of the palatal mucosa, the entry points of the micro-implants into the mucosa is selected on a 3D model of the patient's jaw. The position of the micro-implants at these selected points is plotted, taking into account their inclination and depth of insertion. The correctness of the selected position of the micro-implants is checked using the computer tomogram. By the data obtained, a caliper is modeled for inserting micro-implants for the subsequent installation of an orthodontic apparatus.

A magnetic orthodontic device has an aligner and a magnet. The aligner has at least one connecting portion and at least one assembling portion. The at least one connecting portion is adapted to be connected to a tooth or an alveolar bone of a patient. The at least one assembling portion is respectively disposed at the at least one connecting portion. The at least one magnet is respectively assembled to the at least one assembling portion.

The present invention relates to a dental device (1) for removing a dental implant (2) which is at least partially or fully osseointegrated with a patient's jaw (3), comprising: a head portion (6) for rotatingly holding a dental tool (7) for unscrewing the dental implant (2); and a driving means for applying a torque to the dental tool (7) for unscrewing the dental implant (2); characterized in that the driving means is further adapted to apply pulsed torques (; .sub.1, .sub.2, .sub.3) to the dental tool (7) to unscrew the dental implant (2).
