On December 2010 they have also been issued patent 7,850,759 for "Metal Extraction from Various Chalcogenide Minerals Through Interaction with Separate Electric Fields and Magnetic Fields Supplied by Electromagnetic Energy". Patent 20100316685 for "Dental Uses of Silver Hydrosol" is still pending approval.[18]
Dentistry
Silversol technology is being used in dentistry for various purposes. In a protocol called VERASIL it is being used for new connective tissue reattachment procedure using an Erbium Laser, new restorative protocols, endodontic protocols, bone grafting protocols, dental implant as well as non-surgical periodontal protocols.[19] It has been approved by EPA for both initial cleaning and maintenance of dental waterlines.[20]The approved product has been found to be effective against biofilms.
