IMPROVED DENTAL IMPLANT PROCESS AND TREATED PROSTHETIC

摘要

This invention is a process of implanting a metal dental prosthesis into or on the alveolar bone, to provide anchorage or stabilization either to a tooth or to another prosthesis, which involves surgical exposure of the alveolar bone, providing means for (a) fixing a metal implant (1) in the alveolar bone (15), and (b) fixing the metal implant (1) to either a tooth or to the other prosthesis, and closing the exposure of the alveolar bone (15). The improvement which comprises the step of applying to one or more portions of the implant (1) or to the locus of the implant in the alveolar bone (15), a primary coating comprising a cross-linked resin that (a) optionally contains leachable fluoride, and (b) is biocompatible with osseous and non-osseous tissue to effect direct bonding of the implant to the tooth or to the prosthesis, or to bone or to non-osseous tissue or a combination of them. A treated prosthetic is also described.
