Abstract
Disclosed herein is a cleaning system (30) for a dental implant part (2) that has been introduced into the jaw bone of a patient. For this purpose, in an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a securing element, which is adapted on the end side to connect to a corresponding connection element in the dental implant part, particularly preferably which can be screwed into a thread of the dental implant part by the end side, and to which a distribution element for a cleaning fluid as well as an electrical contact element can be attached, which distribution element can be connected to an external media reservoir via a media channel, and via which electrical contact element, a power source that is connectable to an external power source can be electrically connected to the dental implant part.
Claims21
A cleaning system (30) for a dental implant part (2) that has been introduced into the jaw bone of a patient, comprising
- a securing element (32) having a connection end that is capable of being received by a connection element in the dental implant part (2) and a plug-type connection end,
- a distribution element (52), which is capable of being connected to an external media reservoir via a media channel (66), said distribution element (52) having a media outlet opening (64) at its periphery, and
- an electrical contact element (50), which is capable of being connected to an external power source via a power supply line (54), said electrical contact element (50) is capable of being electrically connected to the dental implant part (2),
- wherein both the distribution element (52) and the electrical contact element (50) are removably plugged in or slipped on the plug-type connection end, the electrical contact element (50) is removably secured over the distribution element (52), the distribution element (5452) is removably seated upon the securing element (32), and
- wherein, when the electrical contact element (50) is removably secured over the distribution element (52) and the distribution element (5452) is removably seated upon the securing element (32), the media channel (66) is connectable to the external media reservoir.
