Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and specifically to a zygomatic implant and abutment. Background Art
[0002] At present, for patients with severe resorption or loss of the maxillary alveolar bone, traditional dental implant methods are difficult to implement due to the lack of sufficient bone mass. As an alternative solution, zygomatic implants can achieve implant restoration by being anchored to the zygomatic bone. However, most existing zygomatic implants have complex structures, and usually have thick threads and reinforcement structures at the proximal end, which are likely to cause soft tissue compression and cutting, affecting healing and attachment. At the same time, when the gingival penetration height of the abutment is relatively high, its screw hole often penetrates through the side wall of the abutment, which not only affects aesthetics, but also easily causes food residue and microbial growth, leading to biological complications such as infection.
[0003] The prior art CN111867513B discloses an asymmetric zygomatic dental implant with local microthreads / grooves. The technical solution discloses that "the zygomatic dental implant includes a generally cylindrical body, an internal threaded hole, and asymmetric external features. The generally cylindrical body has a coronal portion and a top portion. The generally cylindrical body has a main central axis. The internal threaded hole is formed in the coronal portion of the generally cylindrical body for receiving a screw of a base configured to removably hold and engage with the zygomatic dental implant. The internal threaded hole has a hole central axis. The asymmetric external features are located on at least a part of the first side of the generally cylindrical body, such that the asymmetric external features are configured to directly engage the patient's alveolar bone. The asymmetric external features include a plurality of circumferentially extending grooves." Although the prior art has disclosed an asymmetric zygomatic dental implant with local microthreads / grooves, there are still some deficiencies. Specifically, in the actual use process, if the zygomatic implant is applied to the situation where there is no bone mass at the proximal end, its thread design will cut the soft tissue, and the thickened design at the proximal end will also squeeze the soft tissue, which is not conducive to the attachment of the soft tissue. As the gingival penetration height of the abutment increases, its screw channel will penetrate through the side of the abutment, and the presence of screw holes in the side wall of the abutment is likely to cause food and microorganisms to remain, thus generating a series of biological problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a zygomatic implant and abutment to solve the problems raised in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A zygomatic implant and abutment, including a zygomatic implant. One end of the zygomatic implant is provided with a first threaded portion. The zygomatic implant includes a first rod portion. One side of the first rod portion is provided with a neck. One side of the neck is provided with a second rod portion. Inside the second rod portion is provided with a first connecting portion. Inside the first connecting portion is provided with an abutment. The zygomatic implant is the main body of the whole device, fixed in the zygomatic bone, used to provide a stable support foundation. The first rod portion serves as a transition structure between the first threaded portion and the neck, playing a role in force transmission and buffering, while ensuring the overall rigidity and bending resistance of the zygomatic implant after implantation. The second rod portion and the first connecting portion are used to position and fix the abutment. The abutment is used to accommodate the abutment screw to achieve a tight connection between the abutment and the zygomatic implant. The whole abutment is a split structure, avoiding the penetration of the abutment screw hole through the side wall of the abutment, and effectively preventing food residues and microorganisms from entering the screw channel.
[0006] The first threaded portion includes a threaded part. One side of the threaded part is provided with a blunt-shaped part. The major diameter of the thread of the threaded part is a constant diameter. The minor diameter of the thread of the threaded part gradually increases from the distal end to the proximal end. The threaded part is used to provide a supporting force. The minor diameter of the thread gradually increases from the distal end to the proximal end. This progressive design can achieve gradually enhanced stability and reduce the implantation resistance. The blunt-shaped part is used to prevent the zygomatic implant from cutting the soft tissue on the outer side of the zygomatic bone when implanted too deeply.
[0007] The cross-sectional area of the neck is smaller than that of the first rod portion. The first connecting portion includes a tapered portion. One side of the tapered portion is provided with a first anti-rotation portion. One side of the first anti-rotation portion is provided with a second threaded portion. The first anti-rotation portion and the second threaded portion are located on the inner wall of the first connecting portion. The neck contacts the soft tissue, used to reduce the compression on the soft tissue, enhance the soft tissue attachment, effectively prevent the transfer of microorganisms towards the bone end of the zygomatic implant, thereby reducing the infection risk. The tapered portion is used to support and fix the abutment. The second threaded portion is connected to a third threaded portion, used to fixedly connect the abutment body and the zygomatic implant.
[0008] The surface of the zygomatic implant is a smooth surface, and the surface roughness Ra of the zygomatic implant ≤ 3.2um. The surface of the zygomatic implant is smooth and does not cut the soft tissue, which is especially suitable for patients with severe absorption of the maxillary alveolar bone and no bone at the proximal end.
[0009] The abutment includes an abutment body provided with an external thread thereon. The abutment body is connected to the first connecting part. A connecting head is installed at one end of the abutment body. An abutment screw is arranged inside the abutment body. The abutment body includes a second conical part, and an anti-rotation part two is arranged on the other side of the second conical part. A first hole, a second hole and a third hole are formed inside the second conical part. The first hole is located on the side close to the external thread, and the second hole and the third hole are arranged in sequence below the first hole. The anti-rotation part one is connected to the anti-rotation part two. The included angle between the axis of the external thread and the axis of the second conical part is α1, and the included angle α1 is 40-60°. The anti-rotation part one and the anti-rotation part two cooperate to prevent the abutment body from rotating along the axis of the zygomatic implant. The first hole is used to accommodate the cap head, the second hole is used to block the axial movement of the cap head along the zygomatic implant, so as to fix the cap head in the zygomatic implant, and the third hole is used to accommodate the third threaded part.
[0010] The connecting head includes a first conical part, a second connecting part is arranged on one side of the first conical part, several non-conical parts are arranged on the first conical part, a first connecting thread is formed inside the first conical part, and a second connecting thread is formed inside the second connecting part. The second connecting thread is threadedly connected to the external thread. The abutment screw includes a rod part, a cap head is arranged at one end of the rod part, a rotating part is arranged at the upper end of the cap head, and a third threaded part is arranged at the other end of the rod part. The external thread is connected to the second connecting thread to fixedly connect the connecting head and the abutment body. The non-conical part is used to rotate the connecting head so as to install the connecting head on the abutment body. The abutment screw is used to fix the abutment body and the zygomatic implant. The first conical part and the first connecting thread are used to connect with restorations such as a bridge.
[0011] The abutment includes a first cone, a second cone and a transition part. The first cone and the second cone are connected through the transition part. A platform is arranged at the connection between the first cone and the transition part. A threaded hole is formed at the center of the end face of the first cone. The axis of the threaded hole and the axis of the first cone are on the same straight line. The included angle between the axis of the threaded hole and the axis of the second cone is α2, and the included angle α2 is 40-60°. There is no screw hole on the side wall of the abutment, effectively preventing biological complications caused by the retention of food and microorganisms. The conical part cooperates with the second cone to fix the abutment and the zygomatic implant. The transition part is used for the transition and connection between the first cone and the second cone.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The zygomatic implant of the present invention is fixed in the zygomatic bone through a threaded anchor. The end of the thread is designed to be blunt to prevent the implant from cutting the soft tissue on the outer side of the zygomatic bone when implanted too deeply. Except for the part anchored in the zygomatic bone, the rest has no sharp edges and is a smooth surface, which does not cut the soft tissue, and is particularly suitable for patients with severe absorption of the maxillary alveolar bone and no bone at the proximal end.
[0013] 2. The present invention adopts a proximal neck narrowing design, which does not squeeze soft tissues and allows more soft tissues to attach, effectively preventing the transfer of microorganisms to the bone end of the implant. The split abutment design avoids the penetration of the abutment screw hole through the side wall of the abutment, effectively preventing biological complications caused by the retention of food and microorganisms.
