## 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.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A denture microchip kit comprising:
a microchip package including:
a microchip transmitter;
a microchip receiver;
and
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 transmitter is configured to send information to an external reader scanner,
and
a dental-prosthetic-grade adhesive.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The kit of claim 1 further comprising an external reader scanner including:
a scanner transmitter;
a scanner receiver;
and
scanner memory,
wherein the scanner transmitter is configured to send commands and information to the microchip receiver and the scanner receiver is configured to receive information from the microchip transmitter.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The kit of claim 2 wherein the microchip is configured to respond to instructions by transmitting information from microchip memory.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The kit of claim 3 wherein the microchip is configured to respond to instructions by storing information in microchip memory.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The kit of claim 2 wherein the microchip is configured to respond to instructions by storing information in microchip memory.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The kit of claim 5 wherein the dental-prosthetic-grade adhesive is formulated to secure the microchip in the dental-lab-milled cavity.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The kit of claim 6 wherein the microchip is adapted to mount in a base of the dental prosthetic.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The kit of claim 7 wherein the microchip has a length and a width of approximately 4 to 6 millimeters.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The kit of claim 8 further comprising a burr, an adhesive dispenser, and an adhesive activation light source.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The kit of claim 8 wherein the microchip does not contain location tracking capability or location tracking capability of the microchip is permanently disabled.

### Claim 11

A denture microchip kit comprising:
a microchip including:
a microchip transmitter;
a microchip receiver;
and
microchip memory,
wherein the microchip is configured for affixation to a dental prosthetic;
wherein the receiver is configured to receive instructions and information from an external reader scanner;
wherein the transmitter is configured to send information to an external reader scanner,
and
a dental-prosthetic-grade adhesive.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The kit of claim 11 further comprising an external reader scanner including:
a scanner transmitter;
a scanner receiver;
and
scanner memory,
wherein the scanner transmitter is configured to send commands and information to the microchip and the scanner receiver is con-figured to receive information from the microchip.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)
