Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, to a method for detecting the gap between special sample preparations. Background Technology

[0002] The existing testing method is as follows: The dental implant and its matching implant abutment are assembled and fixed with a central screw, then embedded with dental self-curing resin. After the self-curing resin has completely cured, the implant is cut in half along its long axis. One half is ground and polished, and the mating gaps between the implant and the implant abutment are measured using an optical measuring instrument.

[0003] The above-mentioned technology has the following disadvantages:

[0004] 1. After cutting in half, the grinding and polishing process has a large error. The fit gap should be ground to exactly half a gap. If the grinding is insufficient or excessive, the measured gap value will be inaccurate.

[0005] 2. After cutting, grinding and polishing mainly rely on manual observation to control the amount of grinding, which is not only labor-intensive and resource-intensive, but also easy to cause sample preparation failure and waste of samples. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problems existing in the aforementioned background technology, this invention proposes a special method for detecting the gap between mating parts. This method improves the detection accuracy of the gap, increases sample preparation efficiency and accuracy without relying on manual observation, and saves manpower and material costs.

[0007] The technical solution of this invention is implemented as follows:

[0008] A special sample preparation method for detecting the fit gap is used to detect the fit gap between the implant, abutment, and central bolt. The specific steps are as follows:

[0009] Step 1: Create a 3D assembly model of the implant, abutment, and central bolt using 3D software;

[0010] Step 2: Create a placement tooling model using 3D software;

[0011] Step 3: Use Boolean operations to help set the assembly model slot on the top surface where the tooling model is placed;

[0012] Step 4: Create a placement fixture model using 3D printing and use it as a grinding and polishing fixture;

[0013] Step 5: Randomly select an assembly of an implant, abutment, and central bolt from the group;

[0014] Step 6: Cut the assembly along a cutting line parallel to the central axis of the assembly;

[0015] Step 7: Place the cut part of the assembly into the assembly mold slot of the grinding and polishing fixture;

[0016] Step 8: Manually grind and polish the upper surface of the grinding and polishing fixture to obtain a special sample for testing the fit clearance;

[0017] Step 9: Use an optical measuring instrument to measure the various mating gaps of the implant, abutment, and central bolt on the upper surface of the specially prepared sample.

[0018] Furthermore, after the assembly model is placed in the assembly model slot, the assembly model is horizontal and the assembly model slot covers half of the outer surface area of ​​the assembly model.

[0019] Furthermore, in step 6, the distance between the cutting line and the central axis is (0, 0.2] mm.

[0020] Furthermore, in step 7, the larger part of the cut assembly is selected and placed in the assembly model slot.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0022] 1. The manufacturing process of this invention includes the design and manufacture of a processing fixture, which allows subsequent manual grinding and polishing to be performed along the upper surface, thereby improving the efficiency of manual grinding and polishing.
