The disclosure relates to an implant set including a patient-specific implant, including a transport device, which is matched to an outer contour of the implant and in which the implant is received, and includes a tool for filling the implant with bone chips and/or for compressing the bone chips, the implant having an inner contour to which an outer contour of at least one end of the tool is matched. The disclosure further relates to a method for preparing for insertion of the implant by means of the implant set.

An implant fixture is disclosed. The implant fixture contains an elongated shaft section, and a head section, wherein the head section contains at least one concave area for bone growth therein.

A bone foundation guide system and method, the system could includes a bone foundation guide including a body forming an open surgical space, the body further having a bottom contoured to reversibly affix to exposed bone of a dental surgical site and a top contoured to match a bottom side of a dental implant surgical guide; at least one anchoring strut that removably attaches to the body with an apex of the anchoring strut further denoting one or more indentations for matching up with and receiving one or more portions of one alveolar ridge that opposes another alveolar ridge supporting the dental surgical site; alternatively to the anchoring struts and a tissue spacing gasket, the dental implant surgical guide that removably connects to the body; and alternatively to the anchoring struts or the dental implant surgical guide, the tissue spacing gasket that removably connects to the body.

The present invention provides novel multi-functional (e.g., repelling biofilms, promoting formation of minerals, and having anti-infection properties) biocomposites and methods of use thereof. In various embodiments, the present invention also provides method for simultaneously treating biofilms, promoting mineralization, treating infection, or any combination thereof.

A bone graft carrier has a body. The body has a containing portion, a conveying portion, and an opening. The containing portion is formed at one of two ends of the body and has a chamber. The conveying portion is formed at the other one of the two ends of the body, is tapered, is connected to the containing portion, and has a delivery channel communicating with the chamber of the containing portion. The opening is formed through a top surface of the body and directly communicates with the chamber of the containing portion and the delivery channel of the conveying portion.

Disclosed is a dental implant distractor, including an implant module and a traction module. The implant module includes an implant, a sealing screw, and a base body. The traction module includes a connecting screw rod, a traction screw rod, an inner sleeve, and an outer sleeve; the connecting screw rod is threadedly connected to the base body; the traction screw rod is located below the connecting screw rod; the inner sleeve is provided below the base body. This apparatus can automatically complete the installation of the base body and the sealing of the connecting screw rod after traction is completed; since the installation of the base body and the sealing do not need to be performed again, operation steps are simplified, the clinical operation difficulty is reduced, and the problem of slippage of an upper bone section to the original position is avoided.

A laser and a minimally invasive dental surgical procedure using the laser to stimulate periodontal tissue formation.

Systems and methods are provided for enhancing osseointegration performed in conjunction with placing a dental implant. A dental implant post can be used for applying current to the implant site as well as for anchoring an artificial tooth. Such a dual purpose implant can allow faster healing and osseointegration time as well as enabling the use of dental implants in a large segment of the population currently disqualified from such treatment due to poor bone quality.

Dental device (1) for ridge preservation around the socket (2) of an extracted tooth and for promoting jaw bone regeneration inside the socket (2) of the extracted tooth, the dental device (1) comprising: a screw (3) which is entirely made of a biodegradable material to eliminate the need for a removal surgery, wherein the screw (3) is adapted for tight fixation within the jaw bone (4) in the socket (2) to prevent micromovements during bone-tissue regeneration, wherein the screw (2) has a length such that its top is, in the inserted state, flush with the alveolar ridge (5) around the socket (2) to promote full bone regeneration inside the socket (2), and wherein the screw (3) has a hollow (6) and pores (7), wherein the diameters of the pore (7) is substantially equal to or larger than 20 micrometers.

A dental implant for supporting periodontal tissue and the supporting bone is provided. The dental implant includes an implant member with inner canal for insertion into a periodontal bone socket, and an anchoring assembly. The anchoring assembly includes a first fastening element and radially equidistant cylindrical members. The first fastening element engages the implant member within the hollow axial cavity. The root section includes through-holes for radially and forcibly sliding the cylindrical members through them. When the first fastening element apically advances within the hollow axial cavity, the cylindrical members generate an anchoring force to anchor the dental implant.
