  • Patent number: 8920866
    Abstract: A metal implant, in particular a dental implant, with a hydrophilic surface for at least partial insertion into a bone, and a method for the production of said implant are described. A particularly advantageous hydrophilic surface for improved osteointegration properties is made available if it is briefly treated, at least in some areas, in a weakly alkaline solution. These excellent osteointegration properties can be achieved in a method in which, optionally after a preceding mechanical surface modification by material removal and/or chemical surface modification, at least the areas exposed of this surface exposed to bone and/or soft tissue are chemically modified in an alkaline solution.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 13, 2011
    Date of Patent: December 30, 2014
    Assignee: Thommen Medical AG
    Inventors: Falko Schlottig, Daniel Snetivy
