  • Patent number: 7452566
    Abstract: A magnesium titanate oxide film implant, and a method for preparing the same. The magnesium titanate oxide film implant is prepared by forming a titanium oxide film (a magnesium titanate oxide film) in which magnesium is incorporated into the surface of titanium or a titanium alloy. A magnesium titanate oxide film implant is prepared by irradiating UV light on an implant body made of titanium or a titanium alloy in distilled water, dipping the UV light-irradiated implant body in an electrolyte solution containing magnesium, and coating a magnesium titanate oxide film on the dipped implant body by anodic oxidation. Therefore, the present invention can provide an implant having increased bioactivity of a titanium oxide film formed by anodic oxidation, and provides an optimum magnesium titanate oxide (TixMgyOz) thickness for successful osseointegration of the magnesium titanate (TixMgyOz) implant.

  • Publication number: 20060204930
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a helical implant. The helical implant is formed with threads theron and each of threads has threads inclines comprising micro-patterns, such as recesses and protrution, on the thread inclines. The micro-patterns on the helical implant may have triangular patterns 100a, stepped patterns 100b and acruate 100c or combination patterns 100d composed of plurality of patterns. The micro-patterns preferably have a cross sectional area of 150 ?m. The helical implant has an increased contact area at the fixed portion, so that the volume of the bone induced between the threads 10b is increased from the several dozens of ?m level to fifty times that at maximum, thereby dispersing load at the implanted portion and preventing physical damage near the implanted portion.

  • Publication number: 20060161263
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a magnesium titanate oxide film implant for insertion into a living body, utilized in medical fields such as dentistry, orthopedic surgery, maxillofacial surgery and plastic surgery, and a method for preparing the same. The magnesium titanate oxide film implant in accordance with the present invention is prepared by forming a titanium oxide film (a magnesium titanate oxide film) in which magnesium is incorporated into the surface of titanium or a titanium alloy. A process for preparing a magnesium titanate oxide film implant in accordance with the present invention comprises irradiating UV light on an implant body made of titanium or a titanium alloy in distilled water for more than 2 hours; dipping the UV light-irradiated implant body in an electrolyte solution containing magnesium; and coating a magnesium titanate oxide film on the dipped implant body by anodic oxidation at a voltage of 60 to 500 V.
