Abstract
A microchip denture implant and reader system includes a microchip having a transceiver 1150 or transmitter-receiver pair for transmitting a wireless signal containing information relating to a user, and an external reader scanner 130 in communication with the microchip. The microchip mounts in a dental prosthetic item for oral use. The external reader when activated can scan and display or otherwise provide access to the information relating to the user. The microchip and dental prosthetic item, when installed in the mouth of the user, are configured to provide access to the information relating to the user at a given time.
Claims13
A denture microchip kit, comprising:
- a microchip including:
- a microchip transmitter;
- a microchip receiver;
- a microchip memory, wherein the microchip is configured for implantation in a milled cavity in a dental prosthetic, wherein the receiver is configured to receive instructions and information from an external reader scanner;
- wherein the microchip transmitter is configured to send information to the external reader scanner;
- the dental prosthetic comprising a milling region having a thickness such that the milled cavity is formed when material is removed therefrom, wherein the milled cavity forms an interior volume sized to receive the microchip;
- wherein the milling region is disposed on a non-tooth portion of the dental prosthetic;
- a dental-prosthetic-grade adhesive adapted to secure the microchip within the milled cavity, wherein the dental-prosthetic-grade adhesive is adapted to seal the milled cavity.
A denture microchip system, comprising:
- a dental prosthetic comprising:
- a milling region adapted to form a milled cavity when a portion of the milling region is removed therefrom, wherein the milted cavity includes an interior volume that is sized to receive a microchip;
- wherein milling region is disposed on a non-tooth portion of the dental prosthetic;
- the microchip disposed within the milled cavity of the dental prosthetic, the microchip including:
- a transmitter;
- a receiver;
- a memory;
- wherein the receiver is configured to receive instructions and information from an external reader scanner;
- wherein the transmitter is configured to send information from the memory to the external reader scanner;
- a dental prosthetic grade adhesive disposed within the milled cavity and adapted to close an open end of the milled cavity such that the microchip is secured and concealed within the milled cavity.
A method of implanting a microchip to a denture prosthetic, comprising:
- providing the microchip comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive instructions and information from an external reader scanner;
- a transmitter configured to send information from a memory to the external reader scanner;
- providing the dental prosthetic comprising a milling region disposed on a non-tooth portion thereof;
- milling the milling region to form a milled cavity, wherein the milled cavity is dimensioned to receive the microchip.
