Abstract: The present invention relates to a coating, a substrate, a method for coating a body and a method for producing the body substrate, such as a dental or a bone implant. The coating has a high degree of mechanical stability and comprises elements, such as Sr based compounds, which optimize the tissue response to the implanted body thus stimulating healing, bone or tissue growth in the vicinity of the implant. An implant coated with this coating has the ability of sustained release of strontium in a non-toxic concentration of strontium in the vicinity of the implant.

Abstract: A scan body element is configured to be inserted in a dental implant or implant analog for scanning with or in an optical scanning system. The scan body element has a top part with at least one geometric feature recognizable via scanning. A metallic lower part is shaped to fit to a dental implant or an analog, and fixed to the top part. A central part is arranged inside the lower part, and includes a threaded portion and a recess for receiving a screw driver through a hole in the top part. The recess allows the threaded portion to be turned relative to the lower part to fasten the scan body element to the implant or the analog. The central part is configured to be interlocked between the lower part and the top part such that the scan body element is arranged as a single element.

Abstract: A scan body element to be inserted in a dental implant or implant analog for scanning with, or in, an optical scanning system. The scan body element has a polymer or a ceramic top part (TP) with at least one geometric feature (S1) recognizable in the scanning. A metallic lower part (LP) is shaped to fit to a dental implant or an analog, and fixed to the top part (TP), e.g. by press fitting. A central part (CP) is arranged inside the lower part (LP), and comprises a threaded portion, and a recess (R) for receiving a screw driver through a hole in the top part (SDO), thus allowing the threaded portion to be turned relative to the lower part (LP) to fasten the scan body element to the implant or the analog. The central part (CP) may be interlocked between the lower part (LP) and the top part (TP) and thus the scan body element constitutes one single element for normal use.
