摘要:
An implant suitable for being anchored with the aid of mechanical vibration in an opening provided in bone tissue. The implant is compressible in the direction of a compression axis under local enlargement of a distance between a peripheral implant surface and the compression axis. The implant includes a coupling-in face which serves for coupling a compressing force and the mechanical vibrations into the implant, which coupling-in face is not parallel to the compression axis. The implant also includes a thermoplastic material which, in areas of the local distance enlargement, forms at least a part of the peripheral surface of the implant.

According to the invention, items are fastened to object surfaces made of a porous or fibrous material, in particular made of wood or a wood-like material, with the aid of a thermoplastic fastening film. For this purpose, the item, which is separate from the fastening film or integrated into said fastening film, is positioned on the object surface and, with the aid of a vibrating fastening tool (1) having a distally arranged, for example closed, perimetric profile element (2), which is positioned on the fastening film, is anchored along a perimeter in the object surface and optionally also punched out. The fastening is suitable in particular for fastening identification carriers to wooden objects such as pallets or tree trunks, wherein the identification carriers are equipped, for example, with an antenna and an RFID chip or with a barcode.

The invention relates to a preparation (10 to 13) for fixing to a natural piece of tooth or to a tooth, especially for replacing a load-carrying piece of tooth. Said preparation is, for example, a filling for a drilled tooth (1), a crown, a bridge or a prosthesis which can be placed on a tooth stump, or a root pin for inserting into a tooth root, for fixing an artificial piece of tooth. Said preparation has surface regions consisting of a material having thermoplastic properties, and has vibratory properties with such low damping losses that local stress concentrations are required to liquefy the material having thermoplastic properties by means of vibration, and that such stress concentrations only occur in the region of the preparation surface. The preparation is positioned on a natural piece of tooth in such a way that the material having thermoplastic properties is in contact with a dentin surface and/or an enamel surface, and is then subjected to mechanical vibration and simultaneously pressed against the natural piece of tooth. In this way, the material having thermoplastic properties is at least partially liquefied and brought into close contact with the dentin or enamel surface in such a way that, after solidification, it forms a positive and/or material connection therewith. Teeth restored in such a way are characterised in that they are highly stable and have a long lifespan especially due to the fact that the thermoplastic material contracts less and is able to eliminate inner stresses by creeping, contrary to known cements used for the same purpose. The material with thermoplastic properties can also compensate inaccuracies between the natural piece of tooth or the tooth and other artificial elements, such that the known high accuracy demands on the dental technician can be reduced.

An implant or endoprosthesis suitable to be implanted in human or animal tissue comprises two (or more than two) parts to be joined in situ. Each one of the parts comprises a joining location, the two joining locations facing each other when the device parts are positioned for being joined together, wherein one of the joining locations comprises a material which is liquefiable by mechanical vibration and the other one of the joining locations comprises a material which is not liquefiable by mechanical vibration and a structure (e.g. undercut cavities or protrusions) suitable for forming a positive fit connection with the liquefiable material. The joining process is effected pressing the two device parts against each other and by applying vibration, e.g. ultrasonic vibration, to one of the device parts when the two parts are positioned relative to each other such that the two joining locations are in contact with each other. Preferably, at least one of the device parts is fixed to the tissue before or during the joining process. Such fixing is advantageously effected with the aid of a further liquefiable material and mechanical vibration which results in an anchorage of the part by interpenetration of the tissue by the liquefiable material.

The invention relates to a device for diverting mechanical oscillations, which may be made to oscillate longitudinally along a first axis at an oscillation introduction point and transfer such an osculation into an oscillation along a second axis at an oscillation decoupling point, wherein the first axis and the second axis form an angle to each other. The device is essentially characterised in having a longitudinally curved oscillation element with an introduction point at the one end thereof and a decoupling point at the other end thereof, wherein the device is designed such that the oscillation element oscillates transversally at the introduction point and the decoupling point when the oscillation introduction point is subjected to an oscillation.

The invention relates to a method for integrally joining bodies (41, 50, 51, 65, 66) by thermally melting a joining element (1, 20, 30, 52, 67, 75, 80). The joint element (1, 20, 30, 52, 67, 75, 80) acts on and penetrates a surface (4, 40, 59) of one of the bodies (41, 50, 51, 65, 66) with a directed force (F). Once the surface has been penetrated, mechanical excitation is generated in such a way that the joint element continues to advance as a result of the directed force (F) and the melting is maintained with the mechanical excitement while the joint element (1, 20, 30, 52, 67, 75, 80) continues to penetrate the body (41, 50, 51, 65, 66). The melted material is hereby hydraulically forced into the bodies (41, 50, 51, 65, 66).

The invention concerns a connecting pin (3.2) with which two parts (1 and 2)--for instance, made of a porous material, particularly of wood or similar wood-like material--can be connected and anchored at predetermined anchoring positions (31, 33) in porous material. For this purpose, a bore (42) with a closed end (41) is placed in parts (1 and 2). The form of this bore (42) is adjusted to the connecting pin (3.2) in such a way that the pin can be guided into the bore without effort and positioned in a first position so that pressure builds up at at least one predetermined anchoring position (31, 33) between the connecting pin (3.2) and the wall of the bore (4.2), if the connecting pin (3.2) is forced with a pressing force (F) into a second position deeper into the bore. Energy is directly focused onto the connecting pin so that the thermoplastic synthetic material of the connecting pin (3.2) is plasticized at the predetermined anchoring positions (31, 32). The locally plasticized synthetic material is pressed into the porous material of the parts by applying the local pressure and forms local, macroscopic anchorings (10, 20). The connecting pin (3.2) consists, for instance, entirely of a thermoplastic synthetic material, and the energy for plasticizing is gained from the input of ultrasonic vibration.
