Device to deliver flowable material to the sinus
09744057 · 2017-08-29 ·

A special tube is disclosed for the insertion of materials inside the maxillary sinus in order to displace the Schneiderian membrane. The tube is connected to a source of a flowable material. The tube is inserted through the alveolar ridge beneath the maxillary sinus and when the flowable material is advanced through the tube the Schneiderian membrane is lifted. The tube can be part of a dental implant which is screwed inside the alveolar ridge.

APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REHABILITATION OF GUM ARCHITECTURE

The invention relates to dental field, more specifically in the field of periodontics, and describes the construction and working of a modular gum architecture device made of inert, biocompatible, bone-integrable and/or absorbable material to replace in part or totally the lost alveolar bone and restore the anatomy of the gum around the tooth or implant. The device may recreate the region of the interdental papilla or may fill in empty spaces caused by protocol-type prostheses (fixed dentures). It can also serve as support for teeth already softened or softening, for implants already installed or even for implants to be installed.

Bioresorbable Inflatable Devices, Incision Tool And Methods For Tissue Expansion And Tissue Regeneration
20170296309 · 2017-10-19 ·

Bioresorbable inflatable devices and tunnel incision tool and methods for treating and enlarging a tissue or an organ or a tube or a vessel or a cavity. The device is composed of a hollow expanding pouch made of a resorbable material that can be attached to a filling element. The pouch can be filled with a biocompatible materials, one or more times in few days interval, after the insertion of the device. While filling the pouch every few days the tissue expands and the filling material if it is bioactive start to function. The tunnel incision tool composed of a little blade that emerges from the surface of the tool in order to make shallow incisions in the surrounding tissue therefore enabling easy expansion of the tissue. This device and method can be used for example for: horizontal and vertical bone augmentation in the jaws and the tunnel incision tool is used to make shallow incisions in the periosteum when using the tunnel technique, sinus augmentation when the device is placed beneath the Schneiderian tissue, vessels widening if the pouch become a stent etc.
