Abstract
Provided herein methods and systems for triggering osteogenesis and promoting osteointegration on dental implants.
Claims12
A removable apparatus for stimulation of osteogenesis on at least one dental implant in a subject in need comprising:
- a) a wearable scaffold designed to fit a jawbone surrounding of the subject and configured to conduct electric current;
- b) a healing cap, comprising an electrically insulating portion and a current conducting portion, and configured to establish mechanical and electrical interaction with the implant;
- and, c) an electronic module;
- wherein the positive terminal of the electronic module is operatively engaged with the conducting area of the wearable scaffold and the negative terminal of the electronic module is operatively engaged with the current conducting portion of the healing cap;
- and wherein the apparatus is designed to create an electrical current between the jawbone surrounding and the at least one dental implant to thereby stimulate osteogenesis.
