Micro implantable visual prostheses
1st Annual International IEEE-EMBS Special Topic Conference on Microtechnologies in Medicine and Biology. Proceedings (Cat. No.00EX451), 2000Two micro implantable visual prosthesis systems for blind patients are described. The first system is a retina implant which is based on an implantable microelectrostimulator applicable for patients suffering from retinitis pigmentosa or macula degeneration, and has been already successfully tested in animal experiments.

Gingival augmentation for osseointegrated implant prostheses
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1986A method of solving some problems inherent with osseointegrated implant prosthesis has been presented. A removable flange can reestablish lip support or block escape of unwanted air while allowing the access necessary for competent hygiene procedures. Overdentures may be indicated to provide the prosthetic gingival surface necessary for adequate food ...
