  • Methods of depositing silver nanostructures on to implant surfaces
    Patent number: 12285314
    Abstract: Methods of depositing nanoparticles onto a substrate (e.g., an implant) are provided, as are the resulting substrates (e.g., implants) formed by such deposition methods. The nanoparticles can be silver nanoparticles that provide antimicrobial or antibacterial properties to the substrate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 20, 2023
    Date of Patent: April 29, 2025
    Assignee: BIOMET 31, LLC
    Inventors: Cong Fu, Elnaz Ajami, Hai Bo Wen, Olga S. Sanchez
  • Additive manufactured dental implants and methods thereof
    Patent number: 12144706
    Abstract: A monolithic dental implant formed from an additive manufacturing method can include a non-porous portion and a porous structure. The porous structure can increase osseointegration of the dental implant and increase the secondary stability.
    Type: Grant

  • IMPLANT PLACEMENT ASSIST SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20210145549
    Abstract: Implant placement assist (IPA) systems and methods for creating a dental implant chamber in an alveolar ridge of a jawbone of a patient, the alveolar ridge being atrophied and needing augmentation before a dental implant can be placed. The IPA system includes a non-osseous spacer and an anchor to maintain a position of the non-osseous spacer within a bone graft cavity of a patient. Bone graft material can be positioned around the non-osseous spacer and the anchor and maintained within the bone graft cavity during healing, where bone is regenerated within the bone graft cavity. After healing, the non-osseous spacer can be removed, thereby forming the dental implant chamber that is immediately ready to receive a dental implant.
