Abstract: A system (1) for modifying a human or animal bone (2) is intended to reliably enable bone augmentation or bone reduction of the bone (2) to be treated in a particularly simple and, in particular, also particularly well-tolerated manner. For this purpose, according to the invention, a two-dimensionally extended lifting/pressure element (4) for insertion between the periosteum (6) of the bone (2) to be treated and the underlying bone (2) or the overlying connective tissue and a control element (10) associated therewith are provided, the control element (10) being designed to exert a magnetic pressure or tensile force on the lifting/pressure element (4).

Abstract: The invention relates to a treatment system (I) for cleaning a component contaminated by biofilm, more particularly for cleaning bacterially contaminated surfaces of bone implants or dental implants (30), the treatment system comprising at least two conductor elements (2, 4) connected to an electrical supply unit (10) to form an electrical circuit. One of the conductor elements can be brought into electrical contact with the component in need of treatment. The object of the invention is to provide a treatment system of this type which allows a particularly acceptable and flexible treatment. To this end, according to the invention at least one of the conductor elements (2, 4) is designed as a diamond electrode (26).

Abstract: A ceramic body (20) for use in a bone implant, in particular in a dental implant (24), shall be suitably upgraded for the utilization of an electrolytic cleaning and treatment concept. For this purpose, the ceramic body (20) according to the invention has, in a surface area (40) intended for contact with human tissue, a specific electric resistance of maximally 10?2 ?cm.

Abstract: A dental implant system having a first implant part, provided for introduction into a jawbone, and having a second implant part, provided for attaching a tooth replacement part, the implant parts being mechanically interconnectable via a connection pin which is integrally formed on one of the implant parts and which is insertable into a receiving duct provided in the other implant part, is to have a particularly high stability and long duration of use, even when ceramic materials are used for the implant parts. For this purpose, in a contact region to the receiving duct the connection pin is provided with a spacer formed of a material softer than the material of the connection pin, and the connection pin has a porous surface, in the surface region which is provided with the coating, to form a material fit connection to the coating.

Abstract: A treatment element for use with a dental-implant part anchored in a patient's jawbone is disclosed, wherein the treatment element includes a base body having a connection system adapted to the dental-implant part for mechanical connection of the base body with the dental-implant part, and at least one media duct for conducting a cleaning liquid.

Abstract: A treatment liquid shall be suitably designed specifically for cleaning bacterially contaminated surfaces of bone implants, dental implants or other components contaminated with a biofilm. For this purpose, the treatment liquid according to the invention comprises, as one of its basic constituents, an aqueous solution of an acid which is provided with a metallic salt in such a manner that a conductivity of at least 30 mS/cm, preferably at least 75 mS/cm, and particularly preferably at least 150 mS/cm results.

Abstract: A treatment system (1) for cleaning a component part contaminated with a biofilm, in particular for cleaning bacterially contaminated surfaces of bone implants or dental implants (20), shall enable a particularly effective, locally focused and flexible treatment. For this purpose, the treatment system (1) according to the invention has a conduction element (10), which can be put into electric contact with the component needing treatment and which can be connected to a first pole of an electric supply unit (16), and a media cannula (2) which is provided for supplying a treatment liquid and whose interior is connected in an electrically conductive manner with the second pole of the electric supply unit (16).
