Implant and method for using such implant

Abstract: In order to extend durability and long-term use of bone, joint and tooth root implants, the previously limited-time implants are replaced by metallic or composite fiber implants for bone and tooth root replacement having a partially or completely resorbable matrix on the side of the bone. On the side of the bone, the matrix is composed of organic and/or inorganic materials which are resorbed after the implantation and are replaced by natural bone. This produces a bond free of connective tissue between the bone and the remaining structure, assuring a physical friction fit. The remaining structure is firmly bonded to the core of the implant.

Production of bone implant

Abstract: Endosseous implants are produced by thermally spraying a ceramic material onto the surface of a core of titanium or titanium alloy which was previously subjected to a surface oxidation treatment. The desired implants have the characteristics of both the metallic material and the ceramic material and do not dissolve out harmful metal ions. The endosseous implants are useful for implantation in various bones including tooth roots and joints in living bodies.
