摘要:
A composite intended for medical use, in particular surgical or therapeutic use, characterized in that it comprises a mixture of a thermoplastic component plasticizable within the temperature range −10° . . . +100° C., which is substantially made up of hydroxy acids and structural units derived from hydroxy acid derivatives and the molar mass of which is within the range 30,000-1,000,000 g/mol, and which degrades in the body typically within a period ranging from a few days to several years, and which in its solid state is a mechanically strong plastic or rubbery material, and a bioactive component, which is a bioactive glass or a bioactive xerogel, such that the plasticized thermoplastic component remains moldable for a certain period even after the temperature of the composite has been lowered to a temperature which is considerably lower than the setting temperature of said thermoplastic component.
摘要:
A porous composite suitable for filling a recess or a through-passing hole in an implant. The composite includes particles A prepared from a bioactive material and particles B prepared from a non-bioactive material or weakly bioactive material, which is sintratable with the bioactive material, such that particles A and particles B have been sintered together to a porous composite. Particles A and particles B are essentially homogeneous in size. Also disclosed is an implant which contains a core and the composite.
摘要:
This invention relates to a shapable prepreg comprising fibers and a polymeric matrix. The polymeric matrix is a multiphase matrix comprising a first matrix component consisting of a monomer or a dendrimer, and a second matrix component consisting of high molecular weight organic molecules, said second matrix component forming a sticky membrane of the prepreg with an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) bonding to the first matrix component. Preferably, the prepreg further comprises a third matrix component consisting of high molecular weight organic molecules, said third component being distributed between the fibers.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for reducing the viability of detrimental oral microorganisms in an individual, said method comprising subjecting the individual's oral cavity to a bioactive glass, the average particle size of which is less than 100 &mgr;m. Furthermore, this invention concerns a method for the prevention of dental caries and/or gingivitis in an individual, said caries being caused by a cariogenic bacteria; or for prevention or treatment of periapical infections. Further the invention relates to a method for the whitening and/or mechanical cleaning of an individual'teeth.
摘要:
The invention relates to a bioactive glass having a suitable working range for glass processing. Said bioactive glass comprises oxides of silicon, phosphorus, alkalis, alkaline earths and optionally other elements such as boron. According to the invention said oxides are present in the following amounts: SiO.sub.2 53-60 wt. %; Na.sub.2 O 0-34 wt. %; K.sub.2 O 1-20 wt. %; MgO 0-5 wt. %; CaO 5-25 wt. %; B.sub.2 O.sub.3 0-4 wt. %; P.sub.2 O.sub.5 0.5-6 wt. %; provided that Na.sub.2 O+K.sub.2 O=16-35 wt. %; K.sub.2 O+MgO=5-20 wt. % and MgO+CaO=10-25 wt. %.
