Abstract: The present invention relates to the method of replacing an infected, broken, decayed tooth that would otherwise require extraction or root canal therapy with a duplicate ceramic tooth implant uncoated or coated with a series of treatments and manufactured for compatibility by obtaining CAT-SCAN images of the tooth prior to extraction or by utilizing typical ‘lost wax’ duplicating technology. The invention give the dentist an alternative to performing a root canal procedure (endodontic procedure) on an infected tooth that presents the problematic and in most cases the impossible task of eliminating all the bacteria from the tooth interior and adjacent bone. The bacteriais problematic in that it causes adjacent implants to fail and thus it is presumed to cause other distal chronic inflammatory diseases if these “foci of infections” are not removed.

Abstract: An implantable brace for immobilizing a fracture and promoting osteogenesis is placed in an osteotomy. The implantable brace may be preformed or made by a method in which the implantable brace is cast from a three-dimensional model of a patient's fractured bone in which a model osteotomy designed by a surgeon has been cut. In a method for implanting the brace in a patient, an osteotomy is formed in the patient's bone to receive the implantable brace.
