Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention pertains to the field of dentistry, and more specifically, to implantology, and comprises a prosthetic component developed to have multiple functions in conventional or digital workflows for constructing temporary or final prostheses for the rehabilitation of a single tooth, which can be glued or screwed onto a dental implant (implant). Therefore, the geometry of the component enables it to function as (i) a conventional closed tray transferor, (ii) a conventional open tray transferor, (iii) a scanning body, and (iv) a temporary abutment tooth, with the primary aim of facilitating and optimizing the workflow of implantology professionals. Background Technology

[0002] As is known to those skilled in the art, implanting dental implants to restore chewing and aesthetic function in edentulous patients involves several steps, from alveolar perforation to the installation of a permanent prosthesis.

[0003] After the implant is placed, professionals need to determine the exact location and precise orientation of the implant, which is placed in the patient's edentulous area of ​​bone, so that the prosthesis can be fabricated in a way that promotes perfect fit and alignment with adjacent teeth.

[0004] There are two approaches to guide prosthesis fabrication: the conventional approach and the digital approach. The conventional approach requires the preparation of a plaster (or other suitable material) model of the patient's dental arch. This technique uses an open or closed tray transferor attached to the implant before the indentation material is placed. Once the indentation material is glued, it provides an accurate record of the implant's position and alignment in a negative temporary model. With the aid of implant-like components, a positive model identical to the patient's dental arch is produced. This technique requires the transferor to have predefined features, such as incisions, protrusions, or retractions, to facilitate better retention within the indentation material.

[0005] Digital methods involve scanning images of the patient's dental arch geometry. With the help of software operating a CAD / CAM system, files containing geometric information are read, and a precise three-dimensional representation of the patient's dental arch is created to guide the construction of temporary or permanent prostheses. However, capturing this geometry requires coupling a digital agent (often called a scanning volume) to the implant (or intermediate component), where the scanning volume needs to possess certain properties that enable the scanner to capture the precise geometry of the area (this can be done in vivo or using a plaster model).

[0006] Therefore, to determine the correct implant location and orientation, it is necessary to use at least one of three different components: a scanning body, an open tray transferor, and a closed tray transferor. Then, to ensure that in the event of any unforeseen events during this step, the oral implant specialist can immediately employ an alternative strategy to complete the procedure, all of these components must be readily available in the clinic during the procedure.

[0007] Furthermore, we must keep in mind that within the timeframe between collecting implant placement data and completing the fabrication of the permanent prosthesis, temporary prostheses or prefabricated teeth may be placed in the patient's mouth and glued to temporary abutments. It's crucial to remember that the height adjustability of the components is essential, depending on the location and characteristics of teeth near edentulous areas. Therefore, in addition to the three components required for data acquisition (scanning body, open tray transferor, and closed tray transferor), the professional must have one or more additional prosthesis components to complete the first installation step. It is important to emphasize that when using a digital workflow, the availability of components in the software library ensures the absolute precision of the designed prosthesis. This is why using prosthesis components with various adjustable heights is so critical, as cutting without precise guidance may produce components of sizes not found in these libraries, potentially causing problems during prosthesis installation.

[0008] In the current art, some components (such as implant installers) can also perform other functions. Patent US8794966 describes an installation component that, after being used to install an implant in the alveolar ridge, can be used as a closed tray transferor and can still be used as a temporary abutment tooth when its distal end is cut and removed. Document US9833300 also discloses an implant installer that additionally functions as a closed tray transferor and can be used to receive a permanent prosthesis after its distal end is cut. Furthermore, document BR1020133027205 (by the same assignee as this case) discloses a component that, in addition to functioning as a conventional assembler, can also be used as a transferor or prosthesis component by cutting and removing its distal end. However, all these components have dual functions, one of which is implant installation; therefore, using them as a base for a temporary prosthesis, a tray transferor, and a scanner presents difficulties that are essentially the same as previously reported, because in some cases, complementary functions can only be achieved by connecting additional components or requiring specific components, such as a scanner.

[0009] Document US2018 / 132977 describes a component that functions as a scanning body and temporary abutment without the function of an installer. However, it cannot be directly coupled to the implant; therefore, an additional intermediate component needs to be pre-installed before prosthesis fabrication can begin. Furthermore, the portion used as a temporary abutment does not allow for height adjustment by the user, which may limit its use. Additionally, professionals still need to provide open and / or closed tray transfer devices to complete the procedure.

[0010] Similarly, document US2018 / 00353267 discloses a component with dual functions, as it can be used as a scanning body and an open or closed tray transferor. However, in this case, the oral implant specialist still needs a temporary abutment tooth to complete the surgery.

[0011] Therefore, it is worth noting that current technology lacks a multifunctional component that can independently perform the functions of a scanning body, tray transferor, and temporary abutment tooth, making the workflow of oral implantology specialists more flexible, practical, and economical. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Therefore, this invention aims to provide an effective solution that makes oral implant specialists' surgeries more practical and optimized, while identifying the correct position of implants placed in the patient's jawbone or maxilla to guide the subsequent preparation of temporary or permanent prostheses.

[0013] Therefore, one of the objectives of this invention is to provide a multifunctional component that can be directly installed on an implant or simulant without the need for intermediate components.

[0014] Another object of the present invention is to provide a component having an original geometry that can perform the functions of (i) a scanning body, (ii) an open tray transferor, (iii) a closed tray transferor and (iv) a temporary abutment tooth.

[0015] In addition to using an intraoral scanner, the multifunctional component of this invention can also be used in the digital workflow of physical models made using open or closed trays.

[0016] One object of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional component that, in addition to performing functions in its original shape, can also perform complementary functions by coupling complementary components. Therefore, one object of the present invention is to provide a component that, when the locator cap in its upper interface region is connected, can be used as a closed tray transfer device in one possible embodiment.

[0017] Finally, one of the objectives of this invention is to provide a component whose surface is adequately treated to ensure perfect scanning conditions, thereby optimizing the scanning process.

[0018] Therefore, the present invention relates to a multifunctional prosthetic component for conventional or digital workflows, for mounting an implant supporting a dental prosthesis, comprising a component detachably attached to the implant or a model, the component comprising: a lower region including a lower interface geometry that mates with the implant interface, wherein the lower interface has an anti-rotation element in a bottom portion and a transmucosal region in an upper portion; and an intermediate region including a substantially tapered abutment tooth (or prosthetic element) supported by a tapered seat region attached to the upper end of the transmucosal region, wherein the abutment tooth has a top surface; the multifunctional component is characterized in that the upper region, defined by at least one upper interface structure, includes a hole for screw coupling to mate with the implant, wherein the upper interface includes at least one vertical facet; the engagement portion between the intermediate region and the upper region constitutes a cutting position separating the upper region from the abutment tooth.

[0020] At least one vertical facet of the upper interface is vertically aligned with the facet of the abutment tooth, and additionally, the vertical facet of the upper interface of the multifunctional component can be rotated along the longitudinal axis of the multifunctional component together with the anti-rotation element. Furthermore, at least one peripheral groove of the abutment tooth is configured as a cutting mark to adjust the height of the prosthesis component; the geometry of the lower interface includes one of the following interfaces: a Morse taper, an external hexagon, or an internal hexagon.

[0021] The middle and upper regions of the multifunctional component include material-treated surfaces capable of being scanned using an intraoral or benchtop scanning device. Furthermore, the middle and upper regions of the multifunctional component have microscopically modified surfaces to enable geometric identification when using an intraoral or benchtop scanning device; the facets of the abutment tooth are vertical from the top to its middle portion, wherein in the lower portion, starting from the middle portion of the abutment tooth, such facets are gently concave until they reach the conical seat region, wherein at least one facet of the abutment tooth is rotated to at least one facet of the anti-rotation element in the lower region. Optionally, the upper portion of the abutment tooth may have a smaller cross-section than the region located below the peripheral groove.

[0022] The invention also includes a locator cap having at least one peripheral shoulder on its inner wall, which engages with a groove on the upper interface of the multifunctional component when the closed tray indentation technique is used, wherein the peripheral shoulder of the locator cap engages with the groove on the upper interface in one of the following ways: interference, pressure, or male-female coupling.

[0023] When using open tray indentation technology, multifunctional prosthesis components also include long screws for attaching the multifunctional component to the implant.

[0024] Another possible embodiment of the multifunctional prosthetic component of the present invention includes a component capable of being detachably attached to an implant or a model, the component comprising: a lower region including a lower interface geometry that mates with an implant interface, wherein the bottom of the lower interface is connected to an anti-rotation element and the top of the lower interface is connected to a transmucosal region; a middle region including an abutment tooth supported by a conical seat region attached to the upper end of the transmucosal region, wherein the abutment tooth has a top surface and includes at least one substantially vertical facet; and a screw, the component being characterized in that it comprises: a screw connected to at least one upper interface... The upper region is defined by a structure, including at least one groove and a hole for screw coupling with an implant. The upper interface includes at least one vertical facet and a locator cap attached to the upper surface of the interface by a breakable structure. The locator cap has at least one peripheral shoulder on its inner wall. When the multifunctional component is pressed against the locator cap and the breakable structure breaks, the peripheral shoulder engages with the groove of the upper interface of the multifunctional component, thereby allowing the component to move until the locator cap is properly coupled to the upper interface. The engagement portion between the intermediate region and the upper region is configured in a cutting position to separate the upper region from the abutment tooth.

[0065] The present invention will be described and explained in more detail based on the accompanying drawings, which are exemplary and non-limiting in nature, as they can be adapted and modified without changing the scope of the claims.

[0066] In a preferred embodiment, the multifunctional prosthetic component of the present invention for conventional or digital workflow objects essentially comprises a component 1, which can be detachably attached to an implant I or a mannequin (not shown), and is preferably indicated as serving as (i) a conventional closed or open tray transferor to transfer the position and orientation of the implant to a plaster model; (ii) a scanning body, for use in the oral cavity or mounted on a plaster model, to transfer the position and orientation of the implant via an intraoral or desktop scanner to create a digital model; and (iii) a single (preferably temporary) prosthetic component, which can also be used for a permanent prosthesis, secured with screws or adhesive to an implant mounted on the patient's maxilla or mandible. As appended herein Figure 1.2 As shown, the component 1 includes a main body consisting of three main regions: a lower region 2, a middle region 3, and an upper region 4.

[0067] The lower region 2 includes a lower interface geometry 22 that mates with the implant I, its bottom being attached to the anti-rotation element 21, and its top being connected to the transmucosal region 23, i.e., located outside the coronal region of the implant I (see [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 1.2 It directly contacts the patient's mucosa. In the accompanying exemplary figures, the lower interface geometry 22 has a sloping profile compatible with the "Morse cone" implant; however, component 1 may alternatively present any other lower interface geometry as needed. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the anti-rotation element 21 has a positive hexagonal shape that mates with a negative region of the same conformation present within the implant I. It is worth noting that this geometry can be varied, as long as it prevents relative movement between component 1 and implant I after component coupling.

[0068] exist Figure 1.1 , 1.2 In the first preferred embodiment of the invention shown in Figure 3, the transmucosal region 23 has a tapered shape with an increasing diameter toward the central region 3, and therefore its sidewalls 231 are tapered. Obviously, without departing from the scope of protection claimed herein, the transmucosal region 23 may have a height from 0.1 mm to 7 mm (preferably 1.5 mm, 2.5 mm, and 3.5 mm) and / or a curved profile 232 (e.g., as shown in Figure 3). Figures 4 to 8 As shown, these contours 232 are concave.

[0069] The intermediate region 3 includes the glueable portion of component 1, corresponding to the temporary abutment tooth 31 to be used during the period prior to the installation of the permanent prosthesis, and in addition to being attached to the upper end of the transmucosal region 23, the intermediate region 3 preferably has a tapered seat 32 to facilitate the fitting of the temporary prosthesis. Figure 1.2As can be clearly seen, the glueable portion of the temporary abutment tooth 31 also has a generally conical shape, with the diameter gradually decreasing from the conical base 32 to the top surface 33, thus presenting a shape that facilitates proper installation of the temporary crown during gluing. Furthermore, each of the temporary abutment teeth 31 has facets 34 in both the anterior and posterior portions, the facets 34 extending vertically from the top 33 to their middle portion, from where they begin to exhibit a slightly concave surface 341. It should be noted that such facets 34 are designed to prevent rotational movement of the temporary crown about the longitudinal axis of component 1 and to guide component 1 during reinsertion of the indentation material. In addition, along the longitudinal axis of component 1, the facets 34 are rotated relative to the facet of the anti-rotation element 21, wherein the angle between at least one of the anti-rotation element 22 and the facets 34 can vary between 0° and 360° (preferably 90°). This function is crucial for component 1 to accurately transfer the position of the implant rotation element to the indentation (open or closed) or when scanning the dental arch geometry.

[0070] To use the multifunctional component 1 as a temporary abutment tooth 31, the dental implant specialist first needs to cut component 1 in the cervical region 42, i.e., above the top surface 33. Once completed, the glueable portion of the temporary abutment tooth 31 (including the area between the lower end of the conical seat 32 and the top 33; see...) Figure 7.1 The prosthesis will have a height of 6.0 mm; however, at a height of 4.0 mm from the conical seat 32, there is a peripheral recess or groove 35 configured as a cutting mark to guide the oral implant specialist to cut the part if the prosthesis requires the use of a component with a lower height (in this case, 4 mm). Figure 7.2 The part 1 after being cut in the peripheral groove 35 is shown.

[0071] Figure 2 An alternative embodiment of the invention is shown, wherein the upper portion 310 of the temporary abutment tooth 31 (located between the peripheral groove 35 and the top surface 33) has a reduced diameter, thereby forming an alternative shape that also facilitates the retention of the prosthesis.

[0072] In the upper region 4 of component 1, above the top surface 33, there is a cylindrical neck 42 that supports a trapezoidal structure 43. An upper interface 41, defined by a generally cylindrical body with a recess or groove 44 on its central horizontal axis, is located on the trapezoidal structure 43. The upper interface 41 extends to a flat surface 45, in which coupling holes O for fixing screws 5 or 51 can be seen, and vertical facets 46 are present at the front and rear, which rotate along the longitudinal axis of component 1 together with the anti-rotation element 21.

[0073] It is important to note that the geometry of the temporary abutment 31, neck 42, and upper interface 41 is designed to enable precise scanning of component 1 mounted in the oral cavity or on a patient's dental arch model (i.e., geometric scanning using an intraoral or benchtop scanner). For this purpose, in the region above the transmucosal portion 23, these elements undergo specific surface treatments that optimize the scanning process and enable precise acquisition of the position and orientation of implant 1 in a computer-operable three-dimensional representation of the dental arch. Therefore, as shown in Figures 1 to... Figure 4 As shown, component 1 of the present invention functions as a scanning body. By connecting to specific software in a CAD / CAM system, professionals can determine the optimal strategy in terms of component selection and the choice / indentation of permanent prostheses used in each case.

[0074] It should also be noted that, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in the internal recess of the hole O for receiving screws 5 and 51, the multifunctional component 1 has a recess whose diameter is funnel-shaped in the lower region 2, formed by a stop member B. This stop member serves as a seat for the tapered portion 52 of screws 5 and 50, which also exhibits a decreasing diameter at its lower portion. Additionally, this narrower portion of the hole O also has a threaded internal portion R to prevent screws 5 and 51 from disengaging from the component 1 after being fully inserted.

[0075] However, some surgical procedures do not require the use of scanning systems but instead necessitate the creation of a standard physical model of the patient's dental arch, typically made of plaster or other materials that mimic physical properties. In these cases, a "negative" image of the dental arch must be obtained before casting the plaster; this is accomplished by using a tray filled with dental putty, which is then compressed onto the patient's teeth. Therefore, in order to use component 1 as an open or closed tray transferor to reflect the correct and precise position of the previously installed implants in the model, some adjustments, which will be described below, are necessary.

[0076] Using a multi-functional component as an open tray transferor requires a longer screw than a conventional screw to keep one end external and accessible after the tray is filled with material that will conform to the patient's dental arch model after arch impressioning. Therefore, as... Figure 5 and Figure 11 As shown, before starting the tooth indentation process of the patient's dental arch, the long screw 51 is coupled to component 1. That is, the aforementioned component 1 remains unchanged, but when using this indentation technique, its coupling with implant I will require the use of the long screw 51.

[0077] On the other hand, creating a tooth indentation model using the closed tray technique requires coupling additional elements to part 1: such as Figure 6 , 8Positioner caps 6 and 7 are shown in figures 9 and 12. Positioner caps 6 and 7 can be supplied separately from component 1. Figure 6 , 8 And 9), can also be detachably attached to component 1 (see Figure 12 ).

[0078] Positioner caps are well-known in implantology, and in the present invention, they can be selectively used by an oral implantologist according to his / her preference or surgical needs. Figure 9 As shown, the inner wall of the locator cap 6 used in this invention includes a peripheral shoulder 61, which can be secured by pressure (clamping engagement) to a recess or groove 44 present at the upper interface 41 of the component 1. In this respect, it should be emphasized that the peripheral shoulder 61 and the recess or groove 44 can have any geometry, as long as they can couple with each other. Therefore, to use the component 1 as a closed tray transferor, it is only necessary to attach the component 1 to the implant I and then attach the locator cap 6 to the upper interface 41 of the component 1. Once completed, a professional can begin creating the patient's dental arch impression.

[0079] Another embodiment of the invention, for example Figure 12 As shown, the locator cap 7, which is made in conjunction with the multifunctional component 10, is manufactured as a single piece; however, it has a brittle point to allow such a structure 71 to break, so that when the component 1 is pressed against the locator cap 7, the upper interface 41 engages the locator cap 7 (this must be done before creating the indentation model). Although the locator cap 7 remains within the impression to assist in future steps of the process, the component 10 can be removed from the impression once the indentation of the patient's dental arch geometry using a closed tray is complete. Furthermore, to use the multifunctional component 10 as an open tray transferor, the user simply applies pressure to move and break the structure 71 and remove the locator cap 7, thereby accessing the hole O, where the long screw 51 will be coupled. It should be emphasized that, in the attached... Figure 12 A preferred geometry is given, but several other geometries and fracture-prone configurations may be used without departing from the scope of protection claimed herein. It should also be noted that in this configuration, the multifunctional component 10 is an integral component that can be used as (i) a closed tray transferor, (ii) an open tray transferor, (iii) a scan body, and (iv) a temporary abutment tooth.

[0080] It is worth noting that the fastening of the component 1 facilitated by the neck 42 supporting the upper interference element 41 is thus shaped to promote better retention of the indentation material when using the component as an open or closed tray transferor, and also facilitates the process of removing the geometry 41 when using the component 1 as a temporary abutment tooth.

[0081] In short, according to Figure 1 to Figure 12 The multifunctional prosthesis component 1 of the preferred embodiment shown can be used in denture installation techniques for (i) immediate loading of temporary components or (ii) two-step prosthesis installation.
