ABSTRACT:
A stimulator healing cap is disclosed for enhancing and speeding the growth of bone cells and bone tissue surrounding a dental implant. The stimulator healing cap includes a threaded portion which is engagable with an interior threaded portion of the implant and a top portion containing a current source. In one embodiment, the top portion and the threaded portion are conductive and are connected by a middle insulated portion; the threaded portion being coupled to one pole of the current source and the top portion being coupled to the other pole of the current source. In another embodiment, the current source is coupled to a coil wound around a longitudinal core inside the threaded portion. The healing cap provides a current path or electromagnetic field in the vicinity of bone tissue surrounding the implant which stimulates the growth of the bone tissue and speeds up the primary healing phase after the implant is surgically inserted.
