Andrew R. Dentino has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Modified dental prosthesis
    Patent number: 7781531
    Abstract: Phosphate-containing co-polymers useful for making denture bases, denture liners and tissue conditioners with phosphate anion-charged surfaces are disclosed. The phosphate anions enable the denture bases, denture liners and tissue conditioners to adsorb cationic antimicrobial molecules. Dentures, denture bases materials, denture liners and tissue conditioners made of the above co-polymers are also disclosed. Further disclosed are methods for synthesizing the co-polymer(s) and for making the denture bases, denture liners and tissue conditioners.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 26, 2007
    Date of Patent: August 24, 2010
    Assignee: Marquette University
    Inventors: Antony R. Periathamby, Andrew R. Dentino
