  • Patent number: 8475821
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a bone prosthetic material, includes by forming tricalcium phosphate (TCP) particle precursor particles; by performing preliminary sintering on the TCP precursor particles at a temperature in a first temperature range to produce TCP particles of diameters in a predetermined diameter range; by granulating the TCP particles to produce granulated bodies; and by performing sintering on the granulated bodies at a temperature in a second temperature range to generate sinter assemblies. The second temperature range is higher than the first temperature range. In the bone prosthetic material manufactured thus, a first space in a range of 100 to 400 ?m is formed between adjacent two of a plurality of sintered assemblies. Each of the plurality of sintered assemblies includes tricalcium phosphate (TCP) particles which are subjected to sintering, and a second space in a range of 5 to 100 ?m is formed between adjacent two of the TCP particles. The second space communicates with the first space.

  • Publication number: 20070105067
    Abstract: A prosthesis-fixing structure includes an abutment embedded in a dental root and having a first groove formed on the external surface thereof; a prosthesis having an interlocking section with a second groove formed along an internal surface on a position corresponding to the first groove; and a C-ring fitting to the first and second grooves and supporting the prosthesis to the abutment in a removable state.
