摘要： Methods and apparatus for transmitting vibrations via an electronic and/or transducer assembly through a tooth or teeth are disclosed herein. The assembly may be attached, adhered, or otherwise embedded into or upon a removable oral appliance to form a hearing aid assembly. Such an oral appliance may be a custom-made device. The electronic and transducer assembly may receive incoming sounds either directly or through a receiver to process and amplify the signals and transmit the processed sounds via a vibrating transducer element coupled to a tooth or other bone structure, such as the maxillary, mandibular, or palatine bone structure.

摘要： Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed herein for virtually planning a cranial guided surgery in a subject. These include, in some embodiments, generating a first data set based on input data obtained of a reference structure having a defined fixed relation to a bone structure of said subject and generating a second data set based on input data obtained of a master structure for a surgical template, where the master structure has a defined relation to said reference structure. Further, in some embodiments, a third data set for production of said surgical can be generated based on the first data send and the second data set, wherein the relation of said reference structure to said master structure is preserved.

摘要： Various methods and apparatus for processing audio signals are disclosed herein. The assembly may be attached, adhered, or otherwise embedded into or upon a removable oral appliance to form a hearing aid assembly. Such an oral appliance may be a custom-made device which can enhance and/or optimize received audio signals for vibrational conduction to the user. Received audio signals may be processed to cancel acoustic echo such that undesired sounds received by one or more intra-buccal and/or extra-buccal microphones are eliminated or mitigated. Additionally, a multiband actuation system may be used where two or more transducers each deliver sounds within certain frequencies. Also, the assembly may also utilize the sensation of directionality via the conducted vibrations to emulate directional perception of audio signals received by the user. Another feature may include the ability to vibrationally conduct ancillary audio signals to the user along with primary audio signals.

摘要： The method is used to produce a set of dentures for an untoothed or partially toothed jaw for dental care of patients, especially a set of dentures which are to be placed on implants that are to be newly fixed. Initially positioning screws provided with a capping element are inserted in the lingual-oral or palatinal region and/or on the crest of the jaw. A cast (6) is made, expressing the real situation of the jaw of the patient including the positioning screws (8). Corresponding positioning screws (8) are then inserted into the cast (6). Other technical work is carried out on the cast (6), i.e. a drilling jig (7) is manufactured for the implants to be positioned and/or a transfer jig is manufactured, in additional to dental work carried out in the mouth of the patient, i.e. the drilling jig (7) is used to position the implants and/or to block the supports for the implants with the transfer jig by respectively fixing them on the positioning screws (8) in the cast (6) or jaw.

摘要： An implant analog includes an abutment that can be mounted in the dental lab replica of the relevant section of a patient's mouth more securely than heretofore possible. Because of the implant analog, a crown will attach more accurately to the implant in the patient's mouth. The analogs have a pin or other protrusion that projects from the base of the analog. The analog has substantially the same height and dimensions as a conventional implant and abutment.

摘要： The technical field of the invention generally concerns an expandable dental implant for receiving and supporting a dental prosthesis. The expandable dental implant, securable within a bore formed into bone of a patient's jaw, includes an elongated, hollow, tubular barrel having both an attachment end and an insertion end. The barrel has both a threaded interior surface for screwing the implant into the bore, and a threaded exterior surface for receiving a threaded expander screw. The barrel is pierced about its insertion end by a plurality of radial slits spaced circumferentially around the barrel. The interior surface of the barrel at the insertion end is formed with a smaller diameter than the diameter of the interior surface of the barrel at the attachment end. The expander screw and the interior surface of the barrel are shaped so advancement of the expander screw along the barrel toward the insertion end causes an end surface of the expander screw to collide with the interior surface of the barrel, and to expand the insertion end outward into the surrounding bone.
