A liquid electrolyte can be desalinated and purified using a system that includes a first electrode and a configuration selected from a second electrode and at least one distinct ion-selective boundary and a second electrode that also serves as the ion-selective boundary. The posterior component has a support block that is adapted to act against the underside of an attachment fixed to the lingual surface of the tooth to which the posterior component is attached. The cleaning solutions preferably have a pH ranging from about 2 to about 7. The present invention also relates to a kit including a bone plate, a driver, and the drill guide and a method for using the kit to perform surgery.
