  • Patent number: 7909605
    Abstract: An enossal screw implant is inserted cortically into the jawbone as an implant base and a mount for the superstructure of a tooth replacement or a substructure. A break point is provided in the abutment head above a bending zone. Key surfaces are above and below the break point. Solutions to ease adjustment of the inserted implant to the natural tooth position and which can reduce the danger of loosening of the inserted implant in the jawbone are coated on the implant.

  • Patent number: 7556500
    Abstract: Bone-adaptive surface structures are provided for lateral jaw implants. Micromechanical and/or macromechanical surface structures having various body forms are incorporated into selected segments of the surface of a base and of a bar that connects a shaft with the base to accelerate the healing process after the implant is inserted into the jaw bone and to make a critical improvement in holding the implant firmly in place without rotation. A process of manufacturing the surface structures includes forming a macromechanical surface on the implant to increase its surface area; and superimposing micromechanical canals on the macromechanical surface, the canals having a size smaller than the minimum size of the osteons in the bone into which the implant is to be inserted.

  • Publication number: 20070299535
    Abstract: The invention is an enossal implant with a coating that accelerates the healing-in process and counteracts demineralization of the bone when the cavities that are necessary for insertion of the implant are made. The invention elevates the osmotic pressure in the immediate vicinity of a freshly inserted implant so as to compensate quickly for the loss of salts and minerals of the chemical compounds and minerals contained in the bone and the bone fluid when the cavity is made. The surface of the implant may be, for example, coated with a dry crust of soluble NaCl crystals, which dissolves gradually after the insertion.
