Objective
- Perform a landscape search in the area of Bone Substitutes and with application in dental practice
- Use PCS to derive insights and gain competitive perspective
- Understand the value chain and recent M&A activities
Introduction
- Several non-biological materials are already being used to increase the alveolar bone volume to support dental implants. Stem cell therapy has emerged as a promising biological substitute or adjuvant to enhance bone healing [Miguita L]
- Bone morphogenetic protein 2 is shown to be effective as an inducer of bone formation process independent biomaterial used mainly for accelerating the resorption process of the framework [Da Silva de Oliveira JC]
- An implant simultaneously placed with sinus augmentation using rhBMP-2-loaded synthetic bone substitute can be successfully osseointegrated, even when only a limited bone height is available [Myung-Jae Joo]
- β-TCP(Tri-Calcium Phosphate) presents the same behavior as autogenous bone graft, which makes it a good bone substitute [Pereira RS]

Top Assignees
- The top companies are big players in dental implants and devices companies:
- Dentsply Sirona
- Institut Straumann
- Heraeus Kulzer
- Danaher
- Various medical device companies that have also patented technologies in this space:
- Zimmer Biomet
- Medtronics
- Stryker
- 3M, the material science company also has patents in this area
Bibliographic Analytics
Main CPC’s
Apart from dentistry(A61C), many patents have classes for methods or apparatus for surgical procedures(A61L) and cements and glass ceramics(C04B)
IP Activity
IP activity is on a surge in the last 20 years, with a peak in 2016
Geographical Distribution
Most of the patents are from US or Europe. Very little from China. There is hardly any activity from other geographies
Top Assignees vs CPCs
- Most of the top companies have patents in
- dentistry(A61C)
- methods or apparatus for surgical procedures(A61L)
- implants & prosthesis (A61F)
- medical & dental preparations(A61K)
- Companies having patents in cements and glass ceramics(C04B) and coating and cleaning of metallic materials (C23C & C23F) are:
Zimmer Biomet
- Straumann
- Dentsply
- Calcitec
- Bionet
- 3M
Top Categories and Concepts
- A lot of patents mentioned "restorative dentistry" as the top concept. Other materials formed a big part of patent disclosures as:
- Biomaterials & biodegradable polymers
- Structural proteins- collagens & integrins
- Glass compositions
- Various growth factors:
- Bone morphogenetic proteins
- Transforming growth factor β (tgfb)
- Platelet-derived growth factor
- Fibroblast growth factor
- Growth differentiation factor
Categories and Concept in Detail
Procedures and treatments: Osseo integrations, allotransplantation, bone grafting and guided bone & tissue regeneration
Biomaterials: biodegradable polymers, polyglycolide, poly(methyl-methacrylate), polycaprolactone, polyhydroxybutyrate
Glass, silicates, other inorganic materials: bio-glass, fused quartz, alite, aluminosilicate, calcium pyrophosphate, sodium silicate, zirconium silicate and phosphate glass
Structural proteins: collagens, integrins, elastin, fibronectin, type-1 collagen, fibrin, cell adhesion proteins, laminin and actin
Growth factors: Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP- 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10 and 15), Transforming growth factor β (tgfb) Platelet-derived growth factor, Fibroblast growth factor, Growth differentiation factor
Materials and Assignees
- Zimmer Biomet, Medtronics, Dentsply have patents in almost all the categories listed.
- Bayer patents are structural proteins- collagens & integrins and biomaterials
- Patents in the area of biodegradable polymers are majorly from Medtronics, Zimmer Biomet and Woodwelding
- Patents for glass composition come from Danaher, Dentsply, Medtronics, Zimmer Biomet and Straumann
Biological Growth Factors and Assignees
- Medtronics has patents in all categories listed in the graph and only one with patents for stem cells
- Platelet derived growth factor patents are majorly from Dentsply Sirona
- Zimmer Biomet and Straumann patents disclose bone morphogenetic proteins and transforming growth factors
