Abstract: An implant includes an implant body and a distraction membrane. The distraction membrane is connected to the implant by a connection element. The connection element is arranged movably at least over a portion of a longitudinal axis of the implant body such that the distraction membrane is slidable along at least a portion of the longitudinal axis of the implant body.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an arched membrane and/or a membrane having rounded edges for regenerating a bone, in particular a distraction membrane, suitable for callus distraction, notably in the jaw region, to the use of the membrane for callus distraction, and to methods for callus distraction.

Abstract: A granulate mixture suitable for regenerating a bone contains at least one expandable particle and at least one nondeformable particle. The at least one expandable particle contains a swelling agent. The swelling is enclosed by a biodegradable sheathing or be a biodegradable casing. Three-dimensional callus distraction may be accomplished by introducing the granulated mixture into a bone defect.

Abstract: An artificial bone fragment in the form of a multi-layer membrane for bone formation, in particular a distraction membrane suitable for callus distraction is provided. In addition, the use of the artificial bone fragment for bone regeneration, in particular by callus distraction, and methods for bone regeneration, in particular callus distractions are provided. The distraction membrane includes at least a first, a second and a third layer. The first layer includes collagen. The second layer is rigid and the third layer includes a mineral material. A mating surface is formed by the first layer and a contact surface is formed by the third layer.

Abstract: Devices for regenerating a bone are provided. The devices include a non-dimensionally stable membrane that is stretchable and that has at least one edge or frame, at least three bone fixing elements provided at the at least one edge or frame, and a hole at a central area of the membrane with a strengthened edge. In addition, methods are provided for regenerating a bone by distraction, or by forwarding and transferring biomechanical impulses into a bone defect.

Abstract: A device for regenerating a bone includes a sheathing and a swelling agent. At least a portion of the sheathing has the shape of a bellows, and/or the exterior of the sheathing bears at least one lamella. The swelling agent is enclosed by the sheathing. The sheathing is biocompatible, expandable, contractible, and/or deformable in a predefined and controlled manner as a function of a force effect induced by a change in volume of the swelling agent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to devices for the regeneration of bone by three-dimensional callus distraction. The invention further relates to the use of such devices and to methods for three-dimensional callus distraction.

Abstract: A cover and holdback element for permitting disturbance-free dental operations to be performed on a patient's teeth includes an expandable sheet operable to cover at least a portion of the mouth volume of a patient and an intra-oral spanner and an extra-oral spanner. The sheet is turned around the at least one of the spanners and is displaceable relative thereto.

Abstract: An interdental wedge includes a base body. A cross section of the base body decreases along a length of the base body, at least in places. The base body is three-dimensionally curved, at least in places. An interdental device may include two interdental wedges. One or more interdental wedges may be used for fixing insulating material and/or matrices in the tooth area, and for reversible contact point separation of adjacent teeth, also referred to as separation of the contact points.

Abstract: A lip and cheek expander for use when performing dental medicine, dental hygiene or dental-documenting activities has two tensioning frames (1, 2) and non-profiled film-like means (3) connecting the tensioning frames (1, 2). When the expander is fitted, the inner tensioning frame (1) inside the oral cavity and the outer tensioning frame outside lies against the lips and cheeks. The film-like means (3) are connected at one end to the inner tensioning frame (1) and at the other end to the outer tensioning frame (2). The film-like means (3) oppose forces (5) to the closure and contraction forces of the lips and cheek muscles and conduct them away onto the tensioning frames (1, 2). The mouth opening is thereby kept open and the lips and cheeks held back from the rows of teeth. A closing of the mouth is also possible when the lip and cheek expander is fitted.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for regenerating a bone, in particular by means of three-dimensional distraction, a method for three-dimensional callus distraction, and use of said device. The device comprises sheathing and a swelling agent.

Abstract: The device incorporates a structurally stable membrane (4, 4?, 34, 35) that incorporates a surface (15) to be bonded to a tissue to be regenerated, specifically a vital bone (2, 22, 38, 39). Means (9, 5, 6, 25, 36) are additionally provided whereby the membrane (4, 4?, 24, 35) is movable for the regeneration with a certain pulling force and speed. According to the invention the membrane (4, 4?, 24, 35) has, on its surface facing the tissue or bone, means (16) for the biological anchoring and adhesion for tissue or bone cells. These means (16) for the biological anchoring of tissue cells are specifically bone cells, protein molecules and/or osteoblasts (17), as well as indentations (45, 46, 48) and surface peaks (50) of the membrane.
