Abstract: An implant intended to be at least partially implanted into a bone by means of an implant part having an endosseous surface, wherein said endosseous surface comprises at least one zone having a surface topography exhibiting: an arithmetic mean peak curvature parameter (Spc) less than or equal to 1 ?m1, a density of peaks parameter (Spd) greater than or equal to 0.020 ?m?2.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dental application body, comprising an oxide ceramic, containing a bulk material containing an oxide ceramic, preferably a zirconium oxide, and at least one coating containing an yttrium oxide and/or cerium oxide stabilized zirconium oxide, wherein the content of the stabilizing compound (c[yttrium oxide], C[cerium oxide]) within the coating with respect to the zirconium oxide (in mol-%) satisfies the formula c[yttrium oxide]+0.6×c[cerium oxide]?4.

Abstract: A manufacturing method and dental component are provided in which first and second cast parts are used with a casting material, such as a gel slurry, to form the dental component. The first cast part can be positioned in a space of the second cast part and a gel slurry can be applied intermediate the first and second cast parts. The gel slurry can then be solidified to form a solidified gel slurry. The first cast part can then be removed together with the solidified gel slurry from the second cast part. The solidified gel slurry can then be machined to form an exterior shape corresponding to a desired exterior shape of the dental component. Finally, the solidified gel slurry can be sintered.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing improved bioactive composite materials based on apatite, mainly for supporting functions in dental and orthopaedic applications, by adapting closure temperature and applying of pressure in closed systems using the production methods, according to reaction tendencies of the materials at their production, and by possibly further counteracting such reaction tendencies and tendencies for decomposition by additions of helping agents.
