  • Patent number: 8777613
    Abstract: A system for insertion of implants, in particular dental implants, comprises a splint, which is provided with a bore and which is designed for positioning the implant onto an area intended for the insertion, in particular a bone, and can be placed on the latter. The system also includes an insertion or screwing tool for the implant, and the splint has a guide surface. The system is to be further designed such that the precise insertion of the implant can be predefined with a high degree of reliability.

  • Publication number: 20060246398
    Abstract: A dental implant (1) includes a top section (17) and at least one top surface (7, 28) that is provided with a micro-roughened surface, such as an average roughness (RA) of about 0.7-1.1 ?m, by etching. The top surface may include a porous surface of pore dimensions of less than about 10 ?m or a coating, such as a 0.5 ?m thickness of titanium nitride. The roughened surfaces promote healing in and tissue growth at the top, enhancing the sealing effect at the epithelium interface with the implant.
