The present invention relates to a medical device for freeing an implant from the bone of a patient to which the implant adheres to and to an implant for insertion into a bone of a patient, designed such that the implant is more homogenously heatable or coolable in a controlled way. Also provided is a method of removing an implant from a bone of a patient and a computer readable storage medium having recorded thereon a database structure.

Disclosed is a head-wearable stimulating device for human having a function for thermal therapy to temporomandibular joints, and an electric thermal therapy device. The stimulating device for human according to the present disclosure is a device having a function for thermal therapy to temporomandibular joints, and includes: a body configured to be worn on a head; and an electric heating main thermal therapy section disposed at the body to be able to perform thermal therapy on temporomandibular joints and generating heat using electricity. The stimulating device for human may further include a neck stimulation band having a neck thermal therapy section for performing thermal therapy on muscles at a neck, and disposed under the body to be able to be worn on a neck. Since the present disclosure performs thermal therapy on temporomandibular joints on a head, it is possible to stably apply stimulation for human including thermal therapy to target areas even if a user is moving. Further, since the present disclosure heats temporomandibular joint areas in an electric heating type, it is possible to remove a process of preheating a material such as silica gel in a thermal therapy pack using water or a microwave over a predetermined time before performing thermal therapy on temporomandibular joints. Further, it is possible to remove various inconveniences such as the difficulty in keeping/maintaining temperature accompanying use of existing thermal therapy packs or the problem of a skin burn.

A thermal wrap having identical side portions, each having a pocket formed therein for receiving thermal material such as gel packs or instant/single use chemically activated thermal packs. The side portions are made of an expandable material and connected at the top by at least two independently attached non-elasticated side straps or loop straps which slide through buckles and attach to two adjacent hook pieces, and at the bottom by a pair of cooperating chin straps made from the same material as the main structure that connects the two pouches which further ensures that the pockets allow for even application as well as increased pressure of thermal energy to the head, neck, or face including the mandibular region of the face according to the users desirable fit and pressure. The pockets are sized to receive standard sized gel packs with dimensions relative to the region of the body being treated.

Aligner systems and methods including a sequence of aligners having energy-delivering elements. For example, first and second aligners of the sequence of aligners may include first and second polymer shells that have shapes for applying respective first and second local forces to first and second regions of a dental arch to move one or more first teeth and one or more second teeth, respectively. The first and second aligners may also include corresponding first and second heating elements that are arranged to heat first and second target regions of the dental arch associated with moving the one or more first teeth and one or more second teeth, respectively. Heat energy from the first and second heating elements may improve an outcome of respective first and second stages of a treatment plan.

A facial warming device for treating dental pain with heat includes a mask that is wearable on a user's face. The mask has a nose that is centrally positioned between a plurality of straps. A plurality of heating elements is each integrated into the mask to facilitate dental pain to be treated with heat. Each of the plurality of heating elements is independently actuatable with respect to each other to apply heat to specific areas of the users' jaw for treating localized dental pain. A communication unit is positionable in a pocket on the mask. The communication unit is in communication with each of the plurality of heating elements and a personal electronic device to facilitate the personal electronic device to remotely control the plurality of heating elements.

Described herein are systems and methods for extracting a broken fragment of a dental abutment screw from a dental implant. An exemplary system comprises an extractor tool having a tubular outer body and a conductor positioned within the tubular outer body, and an applicator that receives and end of the extractor tool and also includes a heating element that converts electrical energy into heat that is conducted to the extractor tool to melt a thermoplastic adhesive in a cavity at the distal end of the extractor tool, such that the melted thermoplastic adhesive can conform to and engage with a broken fragment of a dental abutment screw within a dental implant when the adhesive cools. The extractor tool can then be rotated to unscrew the broken fragment from the dental implant.

Maxillary and mandibular appliances can be mounted to a user's upper and lower jaws. The appliances can include a palatal pad, buccal tubes, hamular notch tubes, and an anterior deprogrammer. The various portions of the appliances can provoke beneficial reactions by muscles in the tongue and jaw area, massage the same muscles, or provide other beneficial effects. A mandibular appliance can include a front portion, and a V-shaped lingual lift pad having members extending outwardly and rearwardly from the front portion, the lift pad members separated by a gap, the mandibular appliance sized to fit in a space completely under the tongue of a user.
