摘要 |
The invention relates to an implant (10) for anchoring in the human (if appropriate also in the animal) maxilla or mandible, a device (100) (an instrument) for bending an implant (10), a system which comprises an implant (10) and a device (100) for bending an implant (10), and a method for bending an implant. By virtue of the bending geometry, an implant (10) is made available which can be easily bent in a way that preserves the material, in particular also after implantation, i.e. when already anchored in the jawbone. By being designed like pliers, with a corresponding holding means (113) and supporting means (123), the device (100) for bending the implant (10) allows said implant (10) to be easily bent, in particular after it has been implanted, thereby ensuring treatment that is gentle on the implantation region, in particular that causes no damage to the bone bed. A method for bending the implant (10) is also made available. |
