Device for regenerating, repairing, and modeling human and animal bone, especially in the jaw area for dental applications

a technology for human and animal bones, applied in the field of devices, can solve the problems of inability to achieve the desired effect of regeneration or reconstruction as complete as possible, in the vertical dimension, and inability to avoid atrophies and constrictions, so as to reduce specific pressure forces, protect and stabilize the correlated implants, and reduce the effect of pressure loading

Benefits of technology

"The present invention is about a device that helps to regenerate, repair, and model bones. It is made of a flexible bar that can be supported by two implants. This bar reduces pressure on the bone replacement materials and distributes forces evenly. It also protects and stabilizes the implants. The bar can fasten membranes that are used during regeneration processes. The invention also includes smooth and polished cylindrical implants that can be rotated and adjusted in their vertical position. After regeneration, the implants can be removed or used for dental replacements or other utilitarian elements."

Problems solved by technology

Accordingly, in the known regeneration methods, for example, of the human jaw, atrophies and constrictions as well as bone loss cannot be avoided.
The desired effect of a regeneration or reconstruction as complete as possible, especially in the vertical dimension, can thus practically not be achieved.

Embodiment Construction

[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail with the aid of several specific embodiments utilizing FIGS. 1 through 11.

[0023] The bar 1, which is manufactured of titanium or any other suitable material, has a substantially flat design of great length extension and, when viewed in cross-section, has centrally arranged penetrations in the form of round holes 2, preferably however slotted holes 3 (see FIG. 3) extending in the longitudinal direction of the bar and distributed over its length. The slotted holes 3 provide for an improved adaptation to imprecisely positioned implants 4, i.e., the bar 1 can be easily positioned even if the position of the implants 4 deviates from the preset, desired location.

[0024] The bar or strip 1 has at both edges recesses 5 and at the underside it is provided with transverse grooves 6. Such reductions 5, 6 in the cross-sectional shape allow for cutting to length and deformation of the bar 1 which is produced as a member of great lengt...

Abstract

A device for reshaping human or animal bone with bone replacement material includes at least two spaced apart implants and a bar connected to the at least two spaced apart implants and bridging at least one reshaping location. The bar has notches at the longitudinal sides and transverse grooves at the underside. The bar has slotted holes extending in the longitudinal direction of the bar for receiving the implants, respectively, fasteners of the implants.

Description

[0001] This is a divisional application of Ser. No. 09 / 394,135 filed Sep. 10, 1999 and now allowed. Ser. No. 09 / 394,135 is a CIP application of Ser. No. 09 / 113,031 filed Jul. 9, 1998.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present inventions relates to a device for reshaping (regenerating, reconstructing, repairing, and modeling) human and animal bones with any type of bone material, for example, synthetic bone material and bone modeling proteins (BMP), especially in the jaw area for dental applications. Accordingly, the device can be used in all areas of a human or animal skeleton, for repairing and modeling bone portions, for example, also complicated fractions with defective bone areas, whereby the device is not limited to a certain bone shape. [0003] The invention is based on the knowledge that the different materials employed for the regeneration of bone material, for example, a patient's own ground bone material and / or, for example Bio-Oss (trademark), is comparatively pressure...
