If you are a clinic owner dealing with the 60% of implants that get infected within a few years — this project developed a one-button plasma device that kills bacteria in-situ to save the implant. It provides a painless alternative to chemical treatments.
Plasma-based Medical Device to Treat Dental Implant Infections and Prevent Implant Loss
Imagine a tiny, high-tech 'plasma jet' that acts like a super-powered cleaner for dental implants. It blasts away stubborn bacteria and slime that normal cleaning can't reach, without using harsh chemicals or drugs. This helps the gums heal and keeps the implant firmly in place so patients don't lose their teeth.
What needed solving
Dental implants frequently fail due to bacterial infections (periimplantitis), affecting 60% of implants. Current treatments often rely on chemicals and lack a way to prevent reinfection effectively.
What was built
A mass-producible medical device consisting of a base station and applicators that use plasma technology to disinfect implant surfaces.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are a distributor dealing with a lack of effective tools for periimplantitis — this project developed a mass-producible system that meets European Medical Device Regulations. It targets a market of 16 million patients in Europe needing urgent help.
If you are a provider dealing with the systemic costs of oral infections linked to diabetes and heart disease — this project developed a technology to stop periimplantitis. By saving implants, it reduces the need for expensive replacement surgeries.
Quick answers
What is the cost or pricing of the AmbiJet system?
Based on available project data, specific pricing and cost details are not provided.
Can this technology be produced at an industrial scale?
Yes, the project successfully developed a system that is technically market-ready and mass-producible, including the base station and applicators.
What is the IP or licensing status of the technology?
Based on available project data, specific patent or licensing terms are not listed, though the technology is developed by Freiburger Medizintechnik GmbH.
Does the device comply with medical regulations?
Yes, it has passed all necessary tests required by the European regulatory framework, including the Medical Device Regulation (MDR).
How long does the treatment take?
The project describes the technology as a 'rapid' solution, though specific treatment times in minutes are not provided.
Who built it
The project is led by a single German SME, Freiburger Medizintechnik GmbH. With a 100% industry ratio and no university or research partners, the consortium is lean and focused entirely on commercialization and market transfer rather than basic research.
