The present invention describes a cleaning device used for cleaning an implant or for the debridement of an implant surfacecomprising two combined main parts, the first main partbeing a handle shaftwhich is stiff, plastic deformable or elastic deformable, the second main partbeing at least one cleaning elementcomprising a base partand several bristles, bristle loopsor a camof spikes, wherein the base partis joined together with the handle shaftso as to form a cleaning devicewith a handle.

Cleaning device used for cleaning an implant or for the debridement of an implant surface

A dental implant unit includes a layer of synthetically created titanium dioxide. The dental implant unit has one end for connection and a lateral surface covering the implant unit except for the end for connection. The lateral surface includes a layer of synthetically created titanium dioxide while the end for connection is free from synthetically created titanium dioxide. Also, a method produces a whitened implantable dental unit. The method includes thermal oxidation of a dental implant unit that includes titanium.

Dental implant unit

An implant with anti-inflammatory or antibacterial effects, or both, for implantation in a human or animal body, the implant having a set of porous grains or granules, wherein at least a plurality of the porous grains or granules include titanium, one or more titanium oxides or titanium alloy and have a titanium oxide layer on their surface and have a mean length from one side to the opposite side, through a geometrical center, of at least 200 &#x3bc;m and up to 5 mm and a mean specific surface area of at least 0.15 m2/g according to the BET method. Also featured is a population of grains or granules having anti-inflammatory or antibacterial effects, or both. Further featured is a method of producing an implant, a method for deriving a population of grains or granules, and a method for treating a condition with a porous grain or granule.

Porous implant grain or granule

The present invention relates to a material for implantation, which is characterised in that the surface of the material partially comprises at least one area of an inorganic, catalytical substance for improved biocompatibility of the material. Methods for the manufacturing of the material for implantation and the use thereof is also disclosed.
