Dental implant with titanium oxide surface layer for jawbone insertion
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11918434B2) discloses a method for placing a dental implant into a patient's jawbone. The method involves inserting the dental implant into a hole in the jawbone, with specific requirements for the implant surface roughness and the formation of a surface layer. The surface roughness in the coronal and apical regions of the implant must meet certain criteria to ensure successful placement and integration with the surrounding tissues. Additionally, the surface layer thickness varies between the coronal and apical regions, with specific materials such as titanium or titanium alloys being preferred for the implant.
Furthermore, the patent claims detail specific characteristics of the implant surface, including pore size, composition of the surface layer, and the maintenance of certain surface characteristics during the placement process. The method outlined in the patent aims to optimize the interaction between the dental implant and the bone and soft tissues, ultimately improving the success rate of dental implant procedures. By focusing on the surface properties and the formation of a specialized surface layer, the method described in the patent seeks to enhance the stability and long-term performance of dental implants, particularly in challenging clinical scenarios.
