Patent number: 8465281Abstract: Disclosed is an impression tray (1) with a concave tray body (2) for taking an impression of at least one jaw part, in which at least one implant body (12) is situated, which body has a receiving aperture into which an impression post (11) may be inserted, it being possible to fill the impression tray (1) with a free-flowing hardenable impression material (10) to produce a mold for a model of the jaw part, which when used reduces the time spent in the dentist's chair, increases the precision of an implant model and finally reduces the material and labor costs in that, at least in one portion, the tray body (2) has a wall (6, 6?) which can be penetrated by an impression post (11) inserted into the implant body (12) if the impression tray (1) is placed onto the jaw part.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2005Date of Patent: June 18, 2013Inventors: Klaus Haselhuhn, Jan-Dirk Reimers, Hubertus Spiekermann

Publication number: 20090306506Abstract: A device (10) for acquiring data in the mouth of a patient, wherein the device (10) comprises an ultrasound sensor (20) and a support structure. The ultrasound sensor (20) is stored by means of the support structure when not in use and contains ultrasound deflection means (12) which are movable. A coupling body (21) is provided, which is arranged between the ultrasound deflection means (12) and a tooth area (1, 2, 3) or remaining tooth area to be swept over Excitation signals (14) are sent to the ultrasound sensor (20) and the ultrasound deflection means (12) are moved in order to thus produce an ultrasonic wave which sweeps over at least part of the tooth area (1, 2, 3) or remaining tooth area.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2007Publication date: December 10, 2009Applicant: RHEINISCH-WESTFAELISCH-TECHNISCHE HOCHSCHULE AACHENInventors: Stefan Heger, Peter Latzke, Klaus Radermacher, Hubertus Spiekermann, Joachim Tinschert

Patent number: 7314374Abstract: A post-shaped element for determining the alignment of an implant (10), or the opening cross-section of an artificial indentation located in a tooth or in the stroma of a human or animal body, relative to the surrounding tissue structures, can be introduced with a receiving section (28, 26A) into an adapted receiving recess (10) in the implant (1) or the artificial indentation, and be affixed therein and removed again. In a connecting position the post-shaped element protrudes with a cantilever section (26K) beyond the opening cross-section of the receiving recess (10) or the artificial indentation.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2001Date of Patent: January 1, 2008Assignee: Heraeus Kulzer GmbH & Co., KGInventors: Michael Augthun, Manfred Peters, Klaus Haselhuhn, Hubertus Spiekermann

Patent number: 7101183Abstract: An implant (1) for mounting a connection pin (17) of a medical device shows a longitudinal axis (9), a distal end (3) and a proximal end (4), from which extends a mounting recess (10) for the connection pin (17) in the direction of the longitudinal axis (9) into the inside of the implant (1). The outer generated surface of the implant (1) can be connected in a non-positive or positive manner with the inner generated surface of a mounting hole in a bone of a human or animal body. The connection pin (17), which is adapted to the mounting recess (10), can be connected in a non-positive or positive manner with the inner generated surface of the mounting recess (10).Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2001Date of Patent: September 5, 2006Assignee: Heraeus Kulzer GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Michael Augthun, Manfred Peters, Klaus Haselhuhn, Hubertus Spiekermann

Patent number: 6840769Abstract: Implant (1) for receiving the connecting bridge (17, 17?, 17?) of a medical device, comprising a longitudinal axis (9), a distal end (3) and a proximal end (4), whereby a receiving recess (10) for the connecting bridge (17, 17?, 17?) extends therefrom inside the implant (1), wherein the implant (1) can be connected on its outer surface area to the inner surface area of a receiving bore hole in a bone by force or adaptation, and whereby the connecting bridge (17, 17?, 17?), which is adapted to the receiving recess (10), can be anchored through clamping, shrinkage, adhesion or cementing. The anchored medical device rests on a contact surface (18) of the top (16) protruding radially outward in its cross-section beyond the cross-section of the receiving recess (10) on the proximal end (4) of the implant (1) across the entire surface against an allocated contact surface (5) of the implant (1) on its proximal end (4).Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2001Date of Patent: January 11, 2005Assignee: Heraeus Kulzer GmbH & Co.
