Abstract: Osteoconductive/osteoinductive titanium/titanium alloy implant comprising an additional element in the titanium oxide, obtained by anodic oxidation. The implant comprises an additional element in the titanium oxide such as calcium, phosphor or sulphur. The invention also relates to a process of producing the implants.
Abstract: The invention relates to a preparation for chemical-mechanical treatment of caries by means of a caries-dissolving two-component liquid. One of the components is an active, caries dissolving component and the other a component which reduces the aggressiveness of the active component to mucous membranes. The active component is a chloride compound comprising active chlorine, i.e. chlorine having a charge state of +1, Cl(+1), which chloride has a somewhat lower reactivity than sodium hypochlorite and then also a somewhat reduced dissolving effect on the carious substance.

Abstract: A dental instrument is provided for removing caries attacked dentine in connection with chemical-mechanical treatment of caries by means of a caries-dissolving solution applied to the caries for loosening the caries tooth substance. The instrument comprises a tool head with a number of scraping edges or bristles for scraping away the loosened caries tooth substance. In the spacings formed therebetween drops of the gel solution used for the chemical-mechanical treatment can be carried (transported) up to the tooth treatment site. The instrument is power-driven in order to provide the tool head with a predetermined scraping motion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a two-component preparation for chemical-mechanical treatment of caries. The inventive preparation consists of a two-components: a first component comprising active chlorine; and a second component comprising a non-acidic amine, a gelling agent such as carboxymethylcellulose, and a dye agent, such as erythrosin, that interacts with carious material.
