Disclosed herein is a cleaning system (30) for a dental implant part (2) that has been introduced into the jaw bone of a patient. For this purpose, in an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a securing element, which is adapted on the end side to connect to a corresponding connection element in the dental implant part, particularly preferably which can be screwed into a thread of the dental implant part by the end side, and to which a distribution element for a cleaning fluid as well as an electrical contact element can be attached, which distribution element can be connected to an external media reservoir via a media channel, and via which electrical contact element, a power source that is connectable to an external power source can be electrically connected to the dental implant part.

Biomimetic grafts or implants coated with an osteogenic extracellular matrix and methods for production and use are described.

Clinical application of oxidative compositions, alone or in combination with polymer or salt stabilizers, for use in bone proliferation applications, such as spinal surgery, arthroplasty, or osteosarcoma. Additional applications include use in dental artificial tooth implants, orthopedic implantable prostheses for small and large bones, implantation into other surgical sites (e.g., dental implants, bone graft additive, face reconstruction, etc.) where bone growth is desired.

A dental implant made of a material comprising titanium. The implant includes a head portion having a non-rotational feature, a lowermost end opposing the head portion, and a threaded bottom portion for engaging bone between the head portion implant and the lowermost end. The implant further includes a nanocrystalline surface formed on at least a portion of the implant. The nanocrystalline surface includes discrete nanocrystals deposited on a roughened surface of the implant. The roughened surface includes at least one of a grit-blasted surface or an acid-etched surface. A portion of the roughened surface is exposed between at least some of the discrete nanocrystals such that the exposed roughened portion between the discrete nanocrystals is capable of contacting bone.

Provided is a medical device including a porous portion and a dense portion, wherein an arithmetic average roughness of a surface of the porous portion is 2.0 μm or greater but 20 μm or less, and wherein an arithmetic average roughness of a surface of the dense portion is less than 2.0 μm.

A dental implant unit includes a layer of synthetically created titanium dioxide. The dental implant unit has one end for connection and a lateral surface covering the implant unit except for the end for connection. The lateral surface includes a layer of synthetically created titanium dioxide while the end for connection is free from synthetically created titanium dioxide. Also, a method produces a whitened implantable dental unit. The method includes thermal oxidation of a dental implant unit that includes titanium.

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.
