DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0045] FIG. 1A shows a first perspective view of a jaw bone 20 with a dental implant and FIG. 1B shows a second perspective view of a jaw bone 20 with dental implants. The dental implant in these figures is a wire threaded insert 30. Wire threaded inserts 30 are also known as registered trademarks as Helicoils, Twinserts, Tanged, & Tangless and others. The wire threaded inserts are for use in allopathic medicine with a primary application in a superior kind of dental implant(s) in human and veterinary medicine. and wherever attachment to bone of any material is indicated. Medical training, fossil assembly, art, jewelry, etc. The wire threaded insert 30, 31 is a proven device for superior threaded attachment/connector function since 1938 and as per the wire threaded insert 30, 31 a suggested allopathic remedy (i.e., dental implants) would also prove superior because of the proven technical advantages as well as vastly improving current dental implant technology.

[0046] It's established and proposed advantages are numerous including but not limited to wire threaded inserts are stronger and longer lasting especially when mating materials of different media. A mechanically tapped hole 21/22 in general, will exhibit a surface roughness eight times more than the surface of a wire threaded insert 30, 31 which will overcome surface contact disparity via very tight tolerances and increased clamping action including self-adjustment when receiver medium (i.e., bone) deteriorates.

[0047] A medical grade titanium wire threaded insert dental implant is mostly inert, anti-corrosive, anti-magnetic, withstands extremes of pressure, temperature, acidity, and stress as is typical of wire threaded insert behavior in general. Such conditions are resident in the human/animal mouth. Bolt failure and thread stripping is reduced due to torque, resident and progressive pitch angle errors, pressure, stress and movement.

[0048] Typical thread clamping is up to 70% at the two threads at the collar leaving the tolerances fit highly diminished over the majority of the thread's length. Pitch errors and rough contact greatly exacerbates the problem which continues to increase due to said forces, of stress, pressure, movement, temperature variance, material deterioration (i.e., bone). wire threaded insert 30, 31 stretch compensates for these variables and distributes loading and clamping more evenly even when progressive pitch error occurs which can be expected in bone. Radial and axial elasticity actually allows the shearing load threshold (and bolt failure) to be converted to advantage by transformation to an advantageous radial load fit (hoop stress) evenly distributing the loading over the entire length of the threads. Bolt breakage, cracking, thread shearing is virtually eliminated though bone tissue in the mouth can be expected to exert conditions which become problematic in a typical dental implant causing the wire threaded insert 30, 31 to respond so as to improve the fit.

[0049] Medical grade titanium is known to osseo integrate further enhancing improved and self-adjusting fit of a dental implant using said material achieving tremendously improved integration via all the aforementioned advantages of properly engineered wire threaded insert 30, 31. This is an extraordinary phenomenon in which intrinsic problems with current dental implant can be overcome via wire threaded insert 30, 31 advantages and osseo integration in combination.

[0050] Metal medical devices which reside in the body must be inert and not react to conditions in the body. Metal grade titanium alloys are the metal of choice. Developments in metallurgy seek to improve the inert characteristics of titanium via nano structuring eliminating possible aged material leaking of toxic alloyed metals. Under certain diagnostic conditions a thin coating of zirconium oxide could be applied to the wire threaded insert 30, 31 in a specialized wire threaded insert 30, 31 where alloyed metals leakage might be a concern, environmental sensitivities, allergies, compromised immune systems, etc. The use of nanotechnology to alter granularity at nanoscale specifically to produce inert medical grade titanium wire thread insert excluding toxic alloys without and improving behavior characteristics and weight. In some cases, bone to metal osseointegration of implants between bone and metal is with a glue with a thickness of about a molecule. In a sense, a wire threaded insert 30, 31 is a storehouse of potential energy as expressed as function of a linear spring as described in the below equation:

U(x)−½kx.sup.2

[0051] Measured as an SI (derived energy potential) micro joule (the millijoule (mJ) is equal to one thousandth (10-3) of a joule.) It is this potential energy which makes the wire threaded insert 30, 31 dental implant a dynamic self-adjusting, self-correcting, self-integrating, semi-permanent prosthetic device as to opposed to a standard dental implant which is a static prosthetic and in a given difficult environment (the mouth) problematic conditions arise or given enough time (life span of device) will itself become problematic and or fail necessitating replacement. Such quantitative measurements when related to the diagnostic properties of healthy and compromised bone will determine the spring strength to be chosen when choosing and implementing a wire threaded insert 30, 31 dental implants as an allopathic prosthetic virtually establishing a highly tuned relationship between the implant and the bone.

[0052] Where bone 20 is severely compromised or too thin walled a threaded bushing can be used instead of a wire threaded insert 30, 31 which would give strength and support but only when the bone mass is insufficient to receive the tiniest wire threaded insert 30, 31 which remains the preferred choice as bushings retain the same problems as a standard implant, though function as a prosthetic at least.

[0053] In these figures, the tooth or teeth are extracted. A hole is drilled to the minor diameter for the wire threaded insert 30, 31 to a desired depth. The drilled hole is tapped using a bottom tap. The wire threaded insert 30, 31 is threaded into the tapped hole 21/22. If a tang is present in the wire threaded insert 30, 31, the driving tang is broken off or otherwise removed. The wire threaded insert 30, 31 is installed to a depth within the jaw bone 20.

[0054] In FIG. 1A an inner wire threaded insert 32 is then installed. An abutment 40, 41 or 42 is then installed into the wire threaded insert. If the tooth is a molar 48 then a screw 49 is generally placed through the molar implant 48 and the head of the screw is then covered with a filling. If the tooth is an incisor 47 then the screw 49 is threaded into the abutment and the implant 47 is bonded to the screw 49. While the figure shows the implant in the jaw bone, it can also be installed in the upper jaw bone.

[0055] FIG. 2A shows an exploded diagram of small incisors that are adhered to the abutment, FIG. 2B show an exploded diagram of large molars with screws through the tooth and FIG. 3 Shows an assembled view of a bisected large molar with the wire threaded insert. These embodiments are used with tangles free-running inserts, tangles screw-locking inserts, tanged free-running inserts and tanged screw-locking inserts 21/22. An abutment 40, 41 is installed into the wire threaded insert 21/22. If the tooth is a molar 48, 48A/48B then a screw 49 is generally placed through the molar implant 48, 48A/48B and the head of the screw is then covered with a filling. If the tooth is an incisor 47 then the screw 49 is threaded into the abutment and the implant 47 is bonded to the screw 49. While the wire threaded insert may be shown straight (not tapered) it is contemplated that the wire threaded insert can be tapered to be narrower at the base. The wire threaded insert is essentially square in cross-section, but could have rounded edges to match the tap that is used to tape the bone.

[0056] Wire threaded inserts such as Spirallock have a wedge ramp design that has been produced in wire thread inserts to offer the same vibration resistance and reusability while bringing higher strength and clamp load capability to titanium. The wire thread inserts are available in two styles: tanged and Drive Notch engineered with no tab. They are particularly effective in application for aerospace, electronics and medical industries.

[0057] FIG. 4 shows various abutment attachments. These abutments are for dental applications, but it is further contemplated that the abutments can have equivalent applications for prosthetic devices for limbs. The abutments in this figure include, but are not limited to aesthetic abutment 45A, angled contoured 45B, ball attachment abutment 45C, casting abutment 45D, full contour abutment 45E, gold/plastic castable abutment 45F, Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) abutment 45G, 15 and 30 degree GPS attachment abutment 45H, healing abutment 45I, locator abutment 45I lab analogs abutment 45K, multi-unit abutment 45L, plastic non-engaging castable abutment 45M, plastic temporary abutment 45N, screw receiving abutment 45O, 15 and 30 degree screw receiving abutment 45P, straight contoured Zirconia/Titanium abutment 45Q, straight snap-on abutment 45R, Titanium abutment 45S, transfer abutment 45T and Zirconia abutment 45U. These abutments may further include a GLYD ring for compression absorption.

[0058] Numerous security devices GPS, RFID, ID with medical records, miniature transceivers in hi risk and targeted individuals as well as military hostile environment field work could be more securely attached to bone, Difficult to detect extract.

[0059] Implant technology has advanced significantly over the past years, there are ongoing issues with the loosening and fracture of implant screws. The load on the back teeth has been shown to be 50 to 80 kilograms, particularly for those who habitually grind their teeth. This application of high loads over prolonged periods has led to the failure of the implant screws, so improved fracture resistance would provide significant benefits for people who sometimes struggle with the maintenance of their implants.

[0060] Resorbable Implants

[0061] There is huge interest in biodegradable or bio-resorbable implants that gradually dissolve during the healing process, reducing the risks of inflammation and eliminating the need for repeat surgeries to replace or remove implants. Magnesium is a prime candidate for such resorbable implants as it is entirely biocompatible—and many people actually have a magnesium deficiency. Magnesium can dissolve too fast.

[0062] Research is assessing the advances that can be achieved in a range of metals when subjected to this process—some anticipated, such as increased strength, others unexpected, such as greater corrosion resistance and increased biocompatibility.

[0063] Metals are actually made of small crystallites, or grains. Applying mechanical load to deform the metal in specially designed processes breaks these into smaller and smaller fragments, down to a nanoscale granularity, while maintaining the material's overall structure. The more times the metal is pushed through the die, the smaller the grains become. The smaller the grains, the stronger the material, although there is a natural limit to both the reduction in grain size and the improved strength.

[0064] Titanium screws fixed into the jaw to hold artificial teeth, which have become a popular alternative to dentures. The screws are currently made of a titanium alloy that includes aluminum and vanadium to provide additional strength, but both elements are considered by some to be potentially toxic. Pure titanium is more biocompatible, but it doesn't have the strength of the alloy. However, we can take commercially pure titanium and use nanostructuring to give the material o extra strength. This leaner, cleaner and stronger titanium compensates for the loss of the alloying elements.

[0065] FIG. 5 shows a cross-section of a dental implant system that uses magnetic repulsion as a cushion. This figure shows a tapered conical wire threaded insert 25 inserted in the drilled-out mandible or jawbone 20. The tapered conical wire threaded insert 25 is a medical-grade titanium alloy containing a measured amount of iron for extra strength and susceptibility to magnetic attraction and typical of dental drilled bone in preparation for an implanting in a conical hole. The wire threaded insert screws down onto a one-piece stud 27 and magnetic base 28 that is also medical grade iron alloy titanium and chemically welded firmly securing the conical tapered wire threaded insert 25 to the base 28. One end of the tapered conical wire threaded insert 25 is configured to thread into, one-piece stud 27, while the mid-section of the wire threaded insert 25 threads into the mandible 20 and the second end of the tapered conical wire threaded insert 25 is configured for the bottom of the magnetic base 36 to thread into.

[0066] The top of the tapered conical wire threaded insert screws onto the magnetic base 34 and lower magnet 36 of the magnetic shock absorber 33. This lower base/magnet 36 within the magnetic shock absorber 33 does not move. In addition to the wire threaded insert 25 being screwed onto the magnetic shock absorber base 33 it is also chemically welded to the base make it one piece. The magnetic shock absorber 33 has two internal magnets that are oriented to repel each other. This foundation, bottom magnet/stud 36, wire threaded insert and base magnet 36, within the magnetic shock absorber 33 are all chemically welded and magnetically bonded exhibits an extremely firm foundation that cannot move. The magnetic shock absorber 33 may be round with anti-rotation ribs, rectangular or other shape depending hup the installation.

[0067] Once osseointegration takes place the implant system (all three parts and the bone 20 becomes a single unit exhibiting irreducible complexity and a rock-solid foundation. The important effect of this is the desired motion 89 of the top magnet 35 and top-mounted base 46 does not affect the stability of the immovable foundation. This is critical to the motion of the magnetic shock absorber 33 moving precisely vertically (up and down), due to any side pressure from chewing, blows and tooth motion over time etc.

[0068] The crown 48 uses a countersunk hex screw 49 that screws down into a small wire threaded insert 24 within the top-mounted base 46 of the shock-absorbing abutment. The screw 49, wire threaded insert 24, and top-mounted base 88 are also chemically welded. All this bonding and coil adhesion, magnetic, chemically welded, and osseointegration produces a permanent implant system that includes a firm attachment and shock-absorbing capacity similar and perhaps better than a real tooth. The point of a prosthetic is to overcome a crippling defect in biological tissue. This system 26 can achieve that as a permanent fix easily maintained. through proper hygiene and in very rare cases adjustments which flexible coil wire inserts lend themselves too unlike solid implants best described as a traumatic insult prone to exacerbating biological problems and inherent defects in a typical solid immovable implant.

[0069] The magnetic shock absorber 33 provides limited cushioned movement 89 of the crown 48 from forces that squeeze said two internal magnets together as the top mounting base 46 is moved in the gum line 87, but could also pass-through flesh when used on a finger, leg or arm. The repelling configuration of the two magnets provides increased repelling force as the two internal magnets are pushed together.

[0070] A Science Direct article S1742706121001902 indicates that orthopedic implants have heterogeneous porous structures were known as ideal bone osteointegration. This research introduced the selective laser melting (SLM), finite element analysis (FFA), and a hydrothermal process (HT) for manufacturing a three-level heterogeneous porous structure. The macroporous structure was designed via CAD and micropores that were tuned via laser power regulation. A nano-size layer of hydroxyapatite crystals was coated by an HT process. The mechanical properties were reinforced via a core-shell structure with core reinforcement. The existence of micropores and nano-hydroxyapatite coating enhanced the in vitro proliferation of preosteoblasts and osteogenic cellular behaviors of rBMSCs. Thus, the three-level heterogeneous porous titanium implants could inspire researchers with potential due of cyto-implant interaction mechanism, therefore building ideal orthopedic implants with accelerated osteointegration.

[0071] The porous structures of titanium implants play an important role in bone tissue regeneration; The geometrical environment influence cell behavior and bone tissue ingrowth in all macro-/micro-/nanoscale. In this study, a novel method to fabricate heterogeneous scaffolds and its macro-/micro-/nanoscopic structures were studied. A CAD model was used to obtain the macroscopic structure and the insufficient laser power was introduced for porous microstructure. Therefore, a layer of nano hydroxyapatite was coated via hydrothermal process. Cytoproliferation and cytodifferentiation results indicated that a integrity of regular/irregular, macro-/micro-/nanoscale porous structure had advance in recruiting stem cells and promoting differentiation. This research is beneficial to the development of bone implants with better bone regeneration ability,

[0072] FIG. 6A shows a common osseointegrated implant 50. The osseointegrated implant has a number of components of an osseointereated implant 51 that is inserted onto a bone. The hilt creates a skin/implant interface 52. The end of the skin/implant interface extends through the skin of the person or animal. The end of the osseointegrated implant 50 is a percutaneous implant 53.

[0073] FIG. 6B shows a wire thread osseointegrated implant. This implant can be scaled to accommodate the size of the bone from a leg bone to a finger or thumb. The osseointegrated implant has a wire threaded insert 54. This insert 54 shows a tapered end that is threaded into a tapped hole in a bone. The abutment 55 threads into the wire threaded insert 54. In this embodiment, the end of the abutment 55 has a ball. A threaded fastener 56 secures a prosthesis into or onto the ball.

[0074] FIG. 7 shows an X-Ray of an osseointegrated implant 50 on an arm where the arm has been severed above the elbow. There are a number of problems with socket-suspended prostheses. Most patients report a range of problems with the prosthetic socket. By surgically implanting a titanium screw into the residual bone, the prosthesis can instead be attached using a socket. The prosthesis always fits, always attaches correctly and is always held firmly in place. Osseo integrated prostheses for the rehabilitation of amputees enhances the quality of life and offers a greater degree of freedom in everyday life. The advantages include:

[0075] A stable attachment for bone-anchored prosthesis is attached without using a socket, thereby ensuring stability. This also allows for the benefit of requiring a minimal time to attach the prosthesis.

[0076] amputation, but osseointegration is currently the best cosmetic option. Other alternatives are toe-to-finger transfer or the surgical creation of a thumb using the index finger.

[0077] Implant Surgery

[0078] The treatment consists of two operations with a three- to four-month interval. In the first operation, a specially constructed titanium screw (fixture) is installed in the residual bone. The period of hospitalization is usually about two to four days.

[0079] In the second operation, an abutment is added to the fixture. The abutment protrudes through the skin. The period of hospitalization is approximately two to four days and you will only be able to undertake limited exercise according to your training program in the following weeks, thereby allowing the skin to heal.

[0080] Rehabilitation

[0081] When it comes to above-elbow amputation, loading of the bone can start (using a short training prosthesis) after the skin penetration area has healed, which is approximately three to six weeks after the second operation.

[0082] Everyday exercise is based on loads on the prosthesis on a standard set of scales. By gradually increasing the load, the strength of the bone will improve. Approximately twelve weeks after the second operation, a prosthesis can be fitted. In the case of below-elbow and thumb amputees, the movement of adjacent joints is exercised until the prosthesis is fitted.

[0083] There is normally a four- to six-month interval between stages one and two for transhumeral and transradial patients and four months for thumb patients. In a few selected cases where there is good bone quality, stages one and two have been performed simultaneously.

[0084] When it comes to transhumeral patients, a short training prosthesis is used three to six weeks after stage two, with increasing weights and loading until the patient reaches the weight of the final prosthesis. It could be a myo-clectric, bodypowered or cosmetic prosthesis. No short training prosthesis is used for transradial or thumb patients.

[0085] FIG. 8 shows a spine vertebra with fusion surgery. This fusion surgery joins one or more bones 60A, 60B, 60C into one solid bone. In this case 60B and 60C. This keeps the bones and joints from moving. In this procedure, the surgeon lays small grafts of bone over the back of the spine. Most surgeons also apply metal plates or rods 63 and screws 61, 62 to prevent the two spinal vertebrae 60B, 60C from moving. This protects the graft so it heals better and faster.

[0086] FIG. 9 shows an X-Ray of an implant through a spinal vertebra. The screw or wire threaded insert 64 is threaded into the vertebra 60. The threaded insert 64 is screwed from the head 62 of the screw or abutment.

[0087] FIG. 10 shows an electromyogram. In the case of limb replacement on an abutment, the body has still lost the ability to control the lost limb or digit. Electromyogram allows for sampling data from nerves 72 that control muscles 71 to control a foot 70 or other body part. The signal to/from the nerves 72 can be detected and shows on a computer 73 display 74. The nerves can be monitored and can be used to create a replacement limb, hand or digit.

[0088] FIG. 11 shows a nerve stimulator and an electromyographic (EMG) monitor. This device combines a nerve simulator 81 and an electromyographic (EMG) monitor into an integrated surgical tool. A surgical instrument is enhanced to become a monopolar probe 83 the continuously applies a stimulation pulse to soft tissue while the EMG monitor detects, interprets and records muscle response evoked by stimulation. Once an evoked EMG is identified. The device 80 produces an audio alarm allowing a surgeon to maintain attention on the surgical field. A computer can also be connected to display 73 the signal. This device 80 significantly reduces nerve location time while improving patient safety and decreasing surgeon stress during difficult dissections.

[0089] It is contemplated that a conductive plate with a plurality of contacts can be brought in contact with nerves in the remaining limb or spine. The plurality of contacts can be monitored and processed by a computer and then using a microcontroller or VLSI to convert the data from the plurality of contacts to operate mechanical muscles. VLSI circuit programmed to convert analog neurological electrical impulses into a digital protocol for activating a robotic prosthetic. A standardized source code OS is public access as befits the numerous neurorobotic prosthetics and products extending even into cybernetic enhancement, zero-gravity, cosmetic animatronic jewelry, 3D tattoos, entertainment costuming etc. Sensors on the replacement prosthetic can also send signals back through the plurality of contacts to provide feedback to the nervous system to the brain of a person 90. FIG. 11 shows a block diagram of the nervous system detection of pain. This figure shows the pain receptors 101 sends signal through the spinal nerve 99 and into the spinal cord 100. The signal then passes through the brain stem 98 through the neospinothalamic pathway 95 and the paleospinothalamic pathway 97. The hypothalamous 96 transfers the signal to the thalamous 93, where the signal is interpreted by the limbic forebrain 92 to the cerebral cortex 91 in the cerebrum 94.

[0091] FIG. 13 shows a graphical representation of the nerve sensory detection. In this figure the sensory input from the left hand 114 (CS) and the right hand 115 (TS) is transmitted to the brain 94. The graph shows the raw CS+TS data 110, the CS data alone 111 and the new response 112 to the stimuli as a function of time.

[0092] FIG. 14 shows a robotic interface from a sensory and muscle interface. Surgical robots, micro-nano-robotics, soft robotics, industrial robotics, humanoid robotics, neuro-robotics, prosthetics, neural engineering, rehabilitation engineering, bio-inspired robotics, biomedical signal processing, marine robotics, service robotics and ambient assisted living, educational robotics and their ethical, legal, social and economic implications. The BioRobotics Institute is an integrated system aimed at innovation research, education and technology transfer, and it intends to create new companies in high tech sectors.

[0093] Soft Robotics which imitates biological tissue and function is capable of said function(s) which rigid structure cannot achieve.

[0094] The growing need for robots in service tasks, in unstructured environments, in contact with humans, is leading to release the basic assumption of rigid parts in robotics. The role of soft body parts appears clear in natural organisms, to increase adaptability and robustness. Compliance, or softness, are also needed for implementing the principles of embodied intelligence, or morphological computation, a modern view of intelligence, attributing a stronger role to the physical body and its interaction with the environment. One simple example would imitate and octopus tentacle or tadpole tail.

[0095] The “Micro-Nano-Bio Systems and Targeted Therapies” Lab has the mission of studying phenomena at the Mill-, Micro- and nanoscale, to invent new solutions and to engineer processes at such scales, in order to develop advanced technological components and the enable minimally invasive therapies. A high level of interdisciplinary features the group, whose research efforts are at the edge between robotics micro-mechanics, materials science and molecular biology. The limb replacement in this figure has a base control module 120 with a replacement arm 121, wrist 122 and digits 124. This robotic forearm can lift and sense a load 123 to provide the proper grasp force. Sensory inputs on the fingers 124 provide feedback on grip force and can further provide sensory information regarding temperature and surface texture.

[0096] There are a number of organizations such as, but not limited to Meridan which is a European Commission through the Seventh Framework Programme that is working with carbon-based biomimetics interfaces for innovative neuroprosthetics. Organizations working in this area with a goal to optimize novel electrode technologies, using nanobiology and cellular physiology, integrated within nanodiamond materials processing towards a new generation of high-resolution chronic implants, with high stability and low biofouling. The application of diamond technology innovated the current bionic devices and provides them with advanced functionalities, better performance and higher market impact towards preclinical stage testing.

[0097] Integrated knowledge on nano-materials, electrode design, and electronics are used to design devices operating in vivo, with sensory and motor neural signals for bi-directional biomimetic interfaces. This works towards advanced voluntary control prosthetics and nerve regeneration.

[0098] The drive is towards high degrees of freedom prosthetic actuators in man-machine interfaces, using the developed devices in combination with minimally-invasive surgery. The goal is a high-resolution ENG and neuromuscular amplification.
