O.V. Roman Powder Metallurgy Institute offers consumers individual implants for lower jaw replacement under a manufacturing agreement and is looking for partners interested in a distribution services agreement.

Individual implants for lower jaw replacement are used in maxillofacial surgery, orthopedic dentistry, neurosurgery, oncology to restore the continuity of the lower jaw, stable fixation of the remaining fragments of the lower jaw in an anatomically correct position, maintaining normal facial contours and the function of the temporomandibular joints.

Individual implants for lower jaw replacement are made in the form of perforated plates made of titanium grade VT1-00, which meets the biocompatibility and chemical composition of the international standards ISO 5832/11 and ASTM F67-89. The contact surfaces of the plates are covered with spherical particles of titanium powder of the same grade, 0.2-0.4 mm in size, connected to each other by powder metallurgy methods.

Dimensions of individual implants for lower jaw prosthetics:

thickness	3 mm
width	10 mm
length	100-190 mm

More information on the Institute's website.

The porous surfaces of individual implants for lower jaw prosthetics have open, interconnected pores ranging in size from 80 to 160 microns and promote uniform volumetric growth of bone tissue into their structure, ensuring lifelong fixation in the bone.

Individual implants for lower jaw prosthetics are registered and approved for use in medical practice in the Republic of Belarus (registration certificate of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Belarus No. IM-7.96843, license of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Belarus No. 02040/0311824.).
