Abstract:
An implant (10) has one or more surfaces (10a, 10b) with a basic or starting surface structure (1a) derived from mechanical working. A topographic modification of the surface structures is arranged on said surface structure or surface structures. The topographic modification can be formed, for example, by means of shot-peening, etching, plasma spraying, chemical action, etc. The topographically modified surface structures support bone-growth-stimulating agent. In a method for producing the implant, three subsidiary methods are used for carrying out the mechanical working, the topographical modification, and the application of the bone-growth-stimulating agent. An important niche in the demand which exists in the field of implants is thus covered in an advantageous manner.
Abstract:
An implant (4) is provided with attachment and hole-insert parts (2, 3) with surfaces which have different degrees of finishing and/or degrees of roughness and/or porosities (2f, 2g). Arranged on the surfaces there is at least one dozen (A-B) in which the degree of finishing and/or the degree of roughness and/or the porosity is continuously changed. The changes in porosity in said zones can mirror continuous or discontinuous changes in the bone in question, for example the jaw bone or tooth bone. The continuously changed zones can be obtained with the aid of electrolyte (15) and, connected to the latter, an anode and cathode arrangement (13, 14). When establishing the porosity, it is possible to mask different portions of the respective implant and to control the temperature of the implant.
Abstract:
The stability of an implant (5) which is fitted in a jaw bone hole created by tooth root extraction is increased using osteoinductive material. Bone formation in the space between the implant and the bone wall is also stimulated. In an initial stage, the implant is anchored or fitted in the hole. With its outer parts (5a) the implant extends into a part (4a) of the hole which has a cross-sectional area exceeding the crossectional area of the outer parts (5a) of the implant. The soft tissue of the jaw bone, with possible periosteum, covers the implant and the space to form a closed space (4a). The bioactive material consists of growth-stimulating substances (GSS) arranged on the implant. In a stage of incorporation, GSS passes outward into body fluid which has penetrated into the closed space and interacts with cells present in the fluid so that new bone is formed around the outer pats (5a) of the implant. The invention also relates to a use and to an implant. The invention also simplifies the handling of implants.
Abstract:
A layer (2∝″) is arranged on an implant (1″) for bone or tissue structure (5). The layer constitutes a boundary or a barrier between the actual or unoxidized body of the implant (1″) and the structure for the purpose of increasing retention and has in this context, a substantial thickness (T′). The layer (2′″) is designed with a channel network (6) which gives the layer a substantial porosity. The channel network (6) is designed with mouths (3′,4′) which face towards the structure (5) and whose respective cross-sectional diameters (D), at the surface (2a′) of the layer (2′″) facing towards the structure (5), are substantially less than the respective extents (e.g., H) of the channels in and down into the layer (2′″) as seen from the said surface (2a′).
Abstract:
An implant bears growth-stimulating substance(s), here called GSS, which can be released when the implant is arranged in a jaw bone hole. The release takes place in interaction with secreted, cell-containing body fluid so as to form new bone alongside the implant. The implant is arranged with an outer surface which can comprise the outer parts of a thread or can consist of bearing surfaces parallel to the inner wall of the jaw bone hole. First portions of the outer surface have first diameters or radii, and second portions have second diameters or radii smaller than the first diameters or radii. The implant bears against or cooperates with the hole wall via the first portions and, by means of the second portions and together with the hole wall, forms one or more closed spaces into which body fluid can penetrate and GSS can be released. The implant can alternatively be designed with a shape or shapes substantially corresponding to the tooth root configuration(s). The new bond formation is made effective in this way, and great stability can be obtained for the implant in its position in the jaw bone.
Abstract:
An arrangement and an implant are provided for increasing the stress resistance of the implant arranged in an upper jaw bone (1). The implant has access via parts (9, 4′) to the sinus cavity (5). At said parts, the implant is arranged with a convex or rounded front surface which, upon access, lifts the sinus mucous membrane, without piercing the latter, and thus forms a closed space (7) between the parts and the underside of the mucous membrane. The implant is provided, at least at said parts, with growth-stimulating substance or substances (15) which interact with cell-containing body fluid (8) which penetrates or has penetrated into the space, so that new bone (11) is formed around said parts of the implant.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an implant element for permanent anchorage in bone tissue in which at least the surface intended to face the tissue in the implantation region is made of a biocompatible material such as titanium and having a clinically well documented surface. The element is provided with a thin, uniform and adherent calcium-phosphate coating with a well controlled dissolution rate. The coating follows the topography of the underlying well documented surface in order to combine properties for rapid bone growth during the healing phase and properties for a guaranteed long-term stability during clinical loading conditions.

Abstract:
Two or more implants (8, 9, 10) are arranged in succession in the jaw bone (1) and bear or comprise growth-stimulating substances (25), here called GSS, which, as a function of secretion of body fluid at the implants, are intended to be released and form new bone (11-15) around the implants. The implants are designed to work with a release process for GSS, permitting a leveling-out effect along the extent of the jaw bone in the horizontal and/or vertical direction and/or a level-raising effect in the vertical direction. In this way it is possible to achieve optimum positions for the implants without the risk of reduced stability and/or compromised esthetics.
Abstract:
An implant comprises titanium and has one or more surfaces which can be applied in or on a bone growth area. One or more of the surfaces are arranged with a depot for bone-growth-initiating or bone-growth-stimulating substance, in which the depot is formed by a pore arrangement in a relatively thick oxide layer on the titanium. The substance is acted on, for a considerable period of time, by one or more release functions for the substance which permit a controlled or optimized release of substance to the surrounding tissue or bone growth area.
