The invention relates to a fastening device for an implant that is elastically deformable by stress, the length of the device in the unstressed state being less than that of the device in the stressed state, and the diameter of the device in the unstressed state being greater than that of the device in the stressed state, and to a kit comprising it.

Improvements in a dental/prosthetic implant is disclosed. The implant includes interior and exterior threaded surfaces. The use of both interior and exterior expanding threaded surfaces for integrations of the insert and a prosthetic with the same implant. The implant is immediately usable under load and promotes rapid integration with bone growth. The expanded insert essentially makes contact with the tapped bone surfaces where loads can be immediately applied so a person can utilize the prosthetic implant. The implant can further include security devices GPS, ID with medical records making removal of the implant difficult to extract. A cushioning member may be further integrated. The implant/abutment can include a surface with a plurality of contacts with sufficient gold contact points to attach residual nerve endings, during implanting surgery to provide nerve identification, send, receive, target so as to exploit proprioceptive memory or retraining.

The present invention relates to implantable medical devices (dental and orthopedic) (osseointegrable implants) textured by the additive manufacturing process. Such implants are prepared in such a way as to comprise a larger surface area of contact between implant/adjacent tissues, porous microstructure with complex geometry with controlled and diversified pore size, which confers several technical advantages. In addition, the present invention relates to the process of preparing said implants and/or screws with an optimized structure for accelerating osseointegration. Finally, the present invention refers to the use of said implants as carriers of drugs or cells in order to treat the site, promote its healing, tissue regeneration or promote cell growth.

The invention relates to an arrangement (1) comprising at least one structural element (2) made of an absorbable material with an antibacterial effect with a mount, which possesses an aspect ratio greater than 10 and whereat the material is a rapidly corroding magnesium alloy. The invention further relates to a mount (10) with an arrangement (1) carried by the mount (10) comprising at least one structural element (2) made of an absorbable material with an antibacterial effect.

A dental membrane that is used with a patient having insufficient bone at a surgical site during a ridge augmentation. The dental membrane includes a first layer and a second layer. The first layer is cortical bone or formed from artificial bone materials to have characteristics of cortical bone. The second layer is cancellous bone or formed from artificial bone materials to have characteristics of cancellous bone.

An implantable screw for maintaining horizontal and/or vertical space during bone grafting procedures. The screw includes a head having a top surface configured to engage a dental membrane, a shaft, and a tip. The shaft is at least partially threaded to engage bone. The dental membrane and the screw provide space for bone growth material during bone grafting.

A dental implant assembly is disclosed. The dental implant assembly includes an implant having a bore within a coronal end, an abutment configured to couple to the implant to the coronal end, a screw configured to secure the abutment to the implant, and a gasket configured to seal an interface between the implant and the abutment.

A predetermined bone site in a patient selected for restoration is exposed, contacted with an aqueous, methylene blue containing phosphoric acid solution for a time period of at least 3 minutes but no more than about 15 minutes, and thereafter cleansed ultrasonically to remove any bacteria that may be present. Preferred phosphoric acid concentration in the aqueous solution is about 37 percent by weight.

Method and prosthetic system for producing a substitution bridge structure with prosthetic teeth (6), for replacing an existing bridge structure (2) which is mounted on a base structure (1), wherein the base structure (1) is fixed to implants (10) by means of base screws (11) and the head (15) of the base screws (11) has a screw hole. A scan body is fixed to the head (15) of the base screws (11) and an intraoral scan of the oral cavity is executed and the scan data is related to a 3D digital model of the base structure (1) and/or of the existing bridge structure (2), wherein subsequently a 3D digital model of said substitution bridge structure is designed.

A method of making an all-zirconium one-piece dental implant has: oral scanning after implantation of artificial tooth roots, 3D archiving, making temporary dentures, and making integrated permanent dentures. The oral scanning is executed by an optical scanner and generates a digital file of a denture model, a five-axis processing machine makes a temporary denture according to the digital file of the denture model to provide fitting information to modify the digital file of the denture model or make a permanent denture. Making the permanent denture with an all-zirconium material without metal support comprises the five-axis processing machine forming a through hole in the permanent denture.
