Abstract
A process for enhancing the
(a) normal healing processes involving a live mammalian body of
(i) injured non-dental-related soft tissue, and
(ii) non-dental-related osseous material, and
(b) for enhancing the biocompatibility and adhesion of bone and/or prosthetic device involved in a non-dental surgical or nonsurgical repair procedure, to ossified and non-ossified tissue components with which they are in contact, where there is an injury to either soft or hard tissue or a non-biocompatible prosthesis is placed in the body, that involves placing at the injury or on the prosthesis
a) a primary coating that is a tenaciously-bonded hydrophilic water insoluble crosslinked resin coating,
b) that optionally contains a measurable amount of a water/fluid leachable fluoride capable of (a) being leached from the coating in a metered amount, and (b) transporting a small amount of leached fluoride from the coating into the afflicted area ("the primary coating with fluoride").

- 4. A wound dressing comprising a primary coating that comprises a hydrophilic water insoluble crosslinked resin and, optionally, fluoride, that has been coated on an adhesive receptive surface and cured prior to application.
- 9. A process for the treatment of a wound which comprises applying a wound dressing comprising a primary coating that comprises a hydrophilic water insoluble crosslinked resin and leachable fluoride dispersed therein onto an injured portion of a mammalian body, and allowing the fluoride to be released from the primary coating to contact and penetrate the injured area.
- 15. In a non-dental-related surgical process wherein a repair is made by adhering one or more bones and/or prosthetic devices to each other and to any contacting soft tissue, the improvement being that the adherence of said bone(s) and/or prosthetic device(s) is accomplished by applying a primary coating comprising a hydrophilic water insoluble crosslinked resin containing both hard and soft crosslinkers and, optionally, fluoride, to one or more of the surfaces of the bone(s) or prosthetic device(s).

18. In a non-dental-related surgical bone repair process comprising
(i) incising skin to expose an area in which bone undergoing restoration resides, (ii) exposing the bone undergoing repair, (iii) defining within the exposed area the manner of restoration of the bone, (iv) preparing the area for said restoration, (v) effecting restoration, and (vi) closing the area after completion of the surgical procedure by closing the skin over the area and providing for the natural or aided healing of any wound associated with such procedure, the improvement being that, during said restoration, the following steps are followed in sequence: -
(v)(a) selecting at least one bone surface within the exposed area that is to be bonded, (v)(b) coating that surface with a primary coating comprising a hydrophilic water insoluble crosslinked resin containing both hard and soft crosslinkers and, optionally, fluoride, (v)(c) contacting the coated surface with bone or a prosthetic device, (v)(d) curing the coating by exposing the coating to light or to ambient temperature.

19. In a non-dental-related surgical procedure to implant a prosthetic device within a body comprising
(i) incising skin to expose an area of the body in which the prosthetic device is to be inserted, (ii) defining within the exposed area the manner of restoration therein by implantation of the prosthetic device, (iii) preparing the area for restoration, (iv) effecting restoration, (v) and closing the area after completion of the surgical procedure by closing the skin over the area and providing for the natural or aided healing of any wound associated with such procedure, the improvement which comprises, during said restoration, the following steps: -
(iv)(a) selecting at least one prosthetic device surface within the exposed area that is to be bonded, (iv)(b) coating that surface with a primary coating comprising a hydrophilic water insoluble crosslinked resin containing both hard and soft crosslinkers and, optionally, fluoride, (iv)(c) contacting the coated surface with bone and/or tissue, (iv)(d) optionally adding a patch of a cured film of the primary coating with fluoride, and (iv)(e) curing the coating by exposing the coating to light or to ambient temperature.

- 20. In a non-dental-related process for aiding in the healing of an open wound or an exposed wound, the improvement which comprises superimposing a cured layer of a primary coating comprising a hydrophilic water insoluble crosslinked resin and fluoride onto the wound such that the tissues at the wound surface are in direct contact with the layer, and maintaining contact between the layer and the wound at least until such time as the wound is essentially closed as a result of the healing process.
- 22. A non-dental-related process for repairing an injured or degenerated osseous material which comprises superimposing a patch of a cured layer of a primer coating comprising a hydrophilic water insoluble crosslinked resin with fluoride onto the injured or degenerated area of the osseous material, leaving such patch in contact with the area and allowing growth of the osseous material to encompass the patch and repair the injured or degenerated area.
- 24. A process for enhancing the normal healing processes of injured non-dental-related soft tissue and non-dental-related osseous material, that involves placing at the injury a primary coating that is a hydrophilic water insoluble crosslinked resin coating that optionally contains a measurable amount of a water/fluid leachable fluoride capable of (a) being leached from the coating in a metered amount, and (b) transporting a small amount of leached fluoride from the coating into the afflicted area.
- 38. A process for enhancing the biocompatibility and adhesion of bone and/or prosthetic devices involved in a non-dental procedure to tissue components with which they are in contact and wherein there is an injury, that involves placing at the injury or on the prosthesis a primary coating that is a hydrophilic water insoluble crosslinked resin coating containing both hard and soft crosslinkers and, optionally, a measurable amount of a water/fluid leachable fluoride capable of (a) being leached from the coating in a metered amount, and (b) transporting a small amount of leached fluoride from the coating into the afflicted area.
