Abstract: The present invention describes a cleaning device used for cleaning an implant or for the debridement of an implant surface 1 comprising two combined main parts 2, 3, the first main part 2 being a handle shaft 2 which is stiff, plastic deformable or elastic deformable, the second main part 3 being at least one cleaning element 4 comprising a base part 5 and several bristles 6, bristle loops 7 or a cam 8 of spikes 9, wherein the base part 5 is joined together with the handle shaft 2 so as to form a cleaning device 1 with a handle.

Abstract: A dental implant unit includes a layer of synthetically created titanium dioxide. The dental implant unit has one end for connection and a lateral surface covering the implant unit except for the end for connection. The lateral surface includes a layer of synthetically created titanium dioxide while the end for connection is free from synthetically created titanium dioxide. Also, a method produces a whitened implantable dental unit. The method includes thermal oxidation of a dental implant unit that includes titanium.

Abstract: The present invention describes a sheet 1 intended for retaining a granular material inserted or implanted in a human or animal body, said sheet 1: being made of a plastic deformable and non-toxic material chosen from the group consisting of a metal, metal alloy, a polymeric material or a non-woven fabric; comprising a matrix 2 and several holes 3, each hole 3 having a smallest dimension from one side of the hole 3 to another side of the hole 3, through a geometrical centre of the hole 3, of at least 50 ?m and of maximum 2 mm; being stretchable in both a longitudinal 4 and transversal 5 direction of the sheet 1; and being 3D ductile.
