    摘要: The invention relates to an implant or medical tool made of a metal or having a surface made of a metal for use in a therapeutic treatment, wherein the implant or the tool has, on its/the surface, a coating with polycrystalline doped electrically conductive diamond, wherein the therapeutic therapy is a treatment of a microbial infection of a human or animal body,



    wherein the implant or the tool is connected as anode (12) in an electrochemical system in the body, wherein the electrochemical system comprises, in addition to the anode (12), a cathode (16), a power source connected in an electrically conductive manner to the anode and to the cathode, and an electrolyte comprising or consisting of a body fluid, or consists of the anode (12), a cathode (16), a power source connected in an electrically conductive manner to the anode and to the cathode, and an electrolyte comprising or consisting of a body fluid, or
    wherein the implant or the tool is disposed within an electrical field, by means of which a negative charge is induced at a first site and a positive charge at a second site by induction on the implant or tool, by means of which the first site becomes the anode (12) in an electrochemical system and the second site becomes the cathode (16) in the electrochemical system, wherein the electrochemical system comprises, in addition to the implant or the tool, an electrolyte comprising or consisting of a body fluid or consists of the implant or the tool and an electrolyte comprising or consisting of a body fluid.

    摘要: The present invention relates in particular to the storage of dental material in a device (10, 10′) and the application of the dental material (20) from such a device (10,10′), and a method for treating dental material (20). In order to provide a solution that allows the simple and practical handling of a dental material (20) in the sense of storage, application and/or treatment thereof, inter alia, a device (10, 10′) for storage and application (20) comprising a cavity (12) for storage of the dental material (20) and a wall (14) surrounding the cavity (12) is proposed, wherein the wall (14) in at least a first temperature range is impermeable to radiation of at least a first wavelength or a first wavelength range in the range of 100 nm to 500 nm, wherein the wall (14) comprises at least one area that at least in a second temperature range is permeable to radiation of at least a second wavelength or a second wavelength range in the range of 600 nm to 50,000 nm.
