Bone anchor

摘要

A biocompatible implantable bone anchor is provided that has a threaded first portion that engages and anchors into a bone. The implant also has a neck region extending from the first portion adapted to promote autologous cell growth thereon at an interface of the bone and one or more epidermal or gum layers, the neck region having a plurality of channels extending about the neck region. The neck region is configured to mechanically engage at least one of an abutment, dental restoration, or osseous device attachment. An in situ bone anchor cell growth assembly includes the bone anchor and a manifold encompassing the neck portion so as to form a seal therebetween and a route of fluid communication between a manifold inlet and at least one of said plurality of channels. A process for growing autologous cells on a neck region of a bone anchor is provided.
