Patent number: 10130446Abstract: Method for determining a position and an orientation of a dental implant includes scanning a surface of a scan body connected to the implant wherein a plurality of data points is determined which correspond to positions of points that are located on the surface of the scan body. The method further included reconstructing at least three planes based on the data points, reconstructing intersection information of the reconstructed planes, where the intersection information includes the reconstruction of straight intersection lines and of intersection points, and determining the position and the orientation of the implant based on the reconstructed intersection information.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2016Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: Straumann Holding AGInventors: Uwe Lawitschka, Frank Homann, Benjamin Straub

Patent number: 9351765Abstract: The present invention discloses a securing device that is used to secure a fixation device to two bone portions to promote healing between the two bone portions. The bone portions commonly include a skull bone portion and a skull bone flap or implant, and the fixation device is commonly a cranial clamp. The securing device provides for securing the fixation device in a uniform, single movement as opposed to currently available products. The securing device has two handles pivotably connected, and a gripping means moveably associated with one handle. As the handles are activated, the gripping means travels proximally along the one handle and grips an elongated section of the fixation device and exerts a tensioning force along the shaft of the elongated section prior to the cutting means cutting the elongated shaft to secure the fixation device in place.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2013Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: DePuy Synthes Products, Inc.Inventors: Robert J. Schoutens, Kan Naito, Ulrich Engenhardt, Bruno Wiesmann, Benjamin Straub, Ralf Oesterlein
