There is provided in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the invention a method of osteointegration of an implant into surrounding jaw-bone, the method comprising: applying a magnetic field around an implant, the magnetic field produced around the implant to a jaw-bone depth of up to at least about 7 mm, the magnetic field having a magnetic flux density of about 0.05-0.5 mT at up to at least about 2 mm from a surface of the implant, the magnetic field produced by a coil within the implant. A device adapted for insertion into a jawbone implant and for producing the magnetic field for bone enhancement of surrounding jawbone is also described.

An object of the present invention is to provide a dental material, particularly, a dental prosthesis, having excellent properties such as hydrophilicity and antifouling properties. The dental prosthesis according to the present invention includes a monolayer film obtained by curing a composition including: a compound (I) having at least one hydrophilic group selected from anionic hydrophilic groups and cationic hydrophilic groups, and at least one functional group with a polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond; a compound (II) having two or more functional groups with a polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond (wherein the compound (II) has no anionic hydrophilic group nor cationic hydrophilic group); and a surfactant (III) having a hydrophilic moiety including an anionic hydrophilic group, a cationic hydrophilic group or two or more hydroxyl groups, and a hydrophobic moiety composed of an organic residue (wherein the surfactant has no polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond).

Provided is an implant including a base material composed of magnesium or a magnesium alloy and an anodized membrane formed on a surface of the base material. The anodized membrane has 8,000 to 250,000 pores with an average diameter of 0.1 m to 1 m within 1 mm.sup.2.

An implant system and a method of forming the implant system including an implant to be implanted into living bone. The implant includes titanium. The implant includes a first surface geometry on a first portion of a surface of the implant and a second surface geometry on a second portion of the surface of the implant. The first surface geometry includes at least a submicron topography including tube-like structures and the second surface geometry includes a first micro-scale topography, a second micro-scale topography superimposed on the first topography, and a submicron topography superimposed on the first and second micro-scale topographies, the submicron topography including the tube-like structures.
