Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of stomatology, and particularly relates to a combined digital guide plate system for free gingival grafting. Background Art
[0002] As one of the main treatment methods for edentulous patients, the success of implant restoration technology not only depends on the osseointegration between the implant and the alveolar bone, but also requires the stability of the soft tissue around the implant. The sufficient thickness and width of keratinized mucosa are crucial for controlling plaque, reducing the incidence of peri-implantitis, and ensuring the long-term stability of implants. However, studies have shown that 46%-74% of implants lack sufficient keratinized mucosa around them, which needs to be solved by soft tissue augmentation surgery.
[0003] Currently, the free gingival grafting (FGG) is considered the gold standard for increasing the width of keratinized mucosa. It achieves soft tissue augmentation by preparing a semi-thick flap with epithelium from the palatal side of the maxilla, especially suitable for non-aesthetic areas. Nevertheless, the FGG technology still faces multiple problems in practical applications:
[0004] (1) Difficulty in precisely controlling the range of donor tissue: Clinicians need to repeatedly trim the soft tissue during the operation to match the recipient area, which not only increases the operation time but also may cause postoperative discomfort to the patient.
[0005] (2) Risks during the acquisition of donor tissue: It is easy to damage anatomical structures such as the greater palatine artery and the greater palatine nerve, which may cause complications such as intraoperative and postoperative bleeding and numbness.
[0006] (3) Precision problem of fixing the graft in the recipient area: It is difficult to accurately control the fixing position of the graft, which may lead to a discrepancy between the soft tissue augmentation range and the expectation.
[0007] (4) Stability problem after soft tissue transplantation: Factors such as the pulling of the patient's facial muscles and chewing movements may cause the graft to shift and the vestibular sulcus to rebound, affecting the vascularization of the graft, increasing the contracture rate, and thus affecting the soft tissue augmentation effect.
[0008] (5) Prolongation of the patient's edentulous time: After soft tissue transplantation surgery, patients usually need at least one month to take impressions for fabricating the upper prosthesis, which increases the patient's edentulous time.
[0009] In addition, although digital guides for the donor site have been used in FGG, these guide designs are usually trapezoidal or rectangular and do not consider the shape of the healing abutment. As a result, it is difficult to fully conform when fixing the graft, easily forming cavities and affecting vascularization. At the same time, these guides have a single function and do not comprehensively consider the requirements such as the preparation range of the recipient site, postoperative graft displacement, vestibular sulcus rebound, and temporary restoration after surgery, restricting their effectiveness in clinical applications. Therefore, existing technologies still require further improvement and innovation in achieving the goal of soft tissue augmentation in implant restoration. Summary of the Invention
[0010] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a combined digital guide system for free gingival grafting, which solves the technical problems such as inconsistent soft tissue donor and recipient site ranges increasing the operation time, inaccurate positioning of soft tissue harvesting resulting in damage to adjacent important anatomical structures, postoperative graft displacement reducing the surgical effect, and soft tissue surgery increasing the toothless time when using free gingival grafting for soft tissue augmentation.

[0079] In the temporary restoration - soft tissue fixation splint 4, the fixation splint attachment 43 and the implant-supported temporary restoration 41 are connected by a connecting rod 44, and a break point 45 is provided on the connecting rod 44.
[0080] The donor area indicating guide plate 5 is used for positioning the spatial position of the free gingival donor area and is seated on the patient's donor area dental arch by the clamping force; a donor area observation window 51 and a donor area incision indicating window 52 are provided on the donor area indicating guide plate 5; the number of donor area observation windows 51 is greater than or equal to 2.
[0081] The contour of the donor area incision indicating window 52 is consistent with the morphology after placing the healing abutment in the recipient area; the donor area incision indicating window 52 avoids the greater palatine artery, and its edge is at least 2 mm away from the greater palatine artery.
[0082] Embodiment 6 provides a more preferred structure of the donor site indicating guide plate 5 on the basis of Embodiment 5. Specifically: at least two donor site observation windows 51 and donor site incision indicating windows 52 are provided on the donor site indicating guide plate 5; the contour of the donor site incision indicating window 52 is consistent with the shape after the healing abutment is placed in the recipient site; the donor site incision indicating window 52 avoids the greater palatine artery, and its edge is at least 2 mm away from the greater palatine artery. The donor site observation window 51 is used to observe the positioning of the donor site indicating guide plate 5. By fitting the patient's CBCT data, marking the course of the greater palatine artery, and designing the donor site incision indicating window 52 to avoid the greater palatine artery, with its edge at least 2 mm away from the greater palatine artery, and the edge of the guide plate being perpendicular to the soft tissue, it is convenient to indicate the incision direction to obtain a semi-thick flap with the target thickness while avoiding accidental injury to blood vessels. The coronal inner wall, mesial and distal inner walls of the donor site indicating guide plate 5 are perpendicular to the oral mucosa, which is convenient for guiding the operator to make an incision at a specific angle to prepare soft tissue with the target thickness.
[0083] As shown in the Figure 14 attachment, when the donor site indicating guide plate 5 is not used to guide the operation, damage to the greater palatine artery may occur due to improper operation direction.
[0084] The preparation method of the present invention is as follows:
[0085] First, according to the patient's CBCT data and digital optical scanning data (intraoral scan or model chamber scan) before the second stage of the operation, fit and generate the positions and shapes of the implant 7 and the healing abutment 6, generate the free gingival shape, as well as the free gingival recipient site range and the donor site acquisition range; preferably, the free gingival acquisition range extends half a tooth position mesially and distally, and the apical position is at the bottom of the vestibular sulcus.
[0086] Design the recipient site semi-thick incision indicating guide plate 2, the recipient site full-thick incision indicating guide plate 3, the temporary restoration-soft tissue fixation splint 4 and the base guide plate 1 according to the free gingival shape and the recipient site range. Among them, in the semi-thick incision indicating window 21, the horizontal incision at the alveolar ridge crest should be located at the mucogingival junction, extending half a tooth position mesially and distally, and the apical position is at the bottom of the vestibular sulcus; the contour of the guiding window 31 of the recipient site full-thick incision indicating guide plate 3 matches the free gingival shape, and is consistent with the shape contour of the healing abutment 6 at the corresponding position of the healing abutment 6; the working area of the guiding window 31 is mainly the corresponding position of the healing abutment, that is, the full-thick incision is only generated at the corresponding position of the healing abutment, and the full-thick flap is only prepared at the corresponding position of the healing abutment, and the remaining positions are still semi-thick flaps.
[0087] The prefabricated implant-supported temporary restoration 41 in the temporary restoration-soft tissue fixation splint 4 is provided with an occlusal surface screw opening 46.
[0088] Design the occlusal surface screw opening on the prefabricated implant-supported temporary restoration 41 according to the position where the implant 7 penetrates.
[0089] Design the wing plate shape according to the free gingiva to improve the adaptability of the soft tissue fixation splint.
[0090] The present invention provides a combined digital guide plate system for free gingival grafting, which covers the recipient partial-thickness incision guide plate, the recipient full-thickness flap incision guide plate, the provisional restoration-soft tissue fixation splint, and the donor site guide plate. Combining the composite structure design of "base guide plate + split accessory guide plate", the functional integration of the overall treatment process of free gingival grafting is realized.
[0091] Recipient partial-thickness incision guide plate: Before free gingival grafting, the preparation of the recipient area, that is, the preparation of the partial-thickness flap, is required. The recipient partial-thickness incision guide plate of the present invention can indicate the ideal incision range designed virtually before surgery, fully considering the extension range in the coronal, apical, mesial, and distal directions, facilitating the precise preparation of the partial-thickness flap.
[0092] Recipient full-thickness incision guide plate: After the preparation of the partial-thickness flap, it is necessary to continue to prepare the full-thickness flap above the implant and place the healing abutment. The recipient full-thickness incision guide plate of the present invention pre-designs the edge of the abutment by virtually placing the healing abutment, facilitating the doctor to complete the full-thickness incision and remove the surface soft tissue.
[0093] Provisional restoration-soft tissue fixation splint: This guide plate has two important functions: First, a prefabricated implant-supported provisional restoration is used to facilitate immediate postoperative provisional restoration and shorten the toothless period of the patient; Second, the wing plate extends from the provisional crown towards the root to cover the graft, thereby stabilizing the free gingival graft, and at the same time, it can resist the coronal migration of the facial muscle attachment, prevent the vestibular sulcus from rebounding, and ensure the curative effect of free gingival grafting.
[0094] Donor site guide plate: A tooth-supported guide plate is used to outline the donor site range, which is convenient to place and has stable retention; By means of digital methods, considering the required soft tissue morphology of the recipient area and the local neurovascular course, the windowing range of the donor site guide plate is designed. The guide plate around the window has a certain thickness, and its edge has a specific direction, facilitating the indication of the knife insertion direction and avoiding damage to the anatomical structure.
[0095] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, which are illustrative for the present invention rather than limiting the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various deformations and improvements made by those of ordinary skill in the art to the technical solutions of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
