TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of dental implants, and particularly to a denture with a locking structure and a mounting method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The denture is also a dental implant, which generally comprises an implant, an abutment and a crown. During artificial tooth implantation, the implant is first fixed in the alveolar bone, and then the abutment is installed after the implant is tightly combined with the alveolar bone. Finally, the crown is installed on the abutment. Once the implant in the alveolar bone is tightly combined with the alveolar bone, the implantable dental implant can withstand the occlusal force of mastication like a real tooth.

[0003] However, once the implant and the abutment are loose, it is necessary to re-adhere or re-implant, which causes great inconvenience to the patient. SUMMARY

[0004] In order to solve the problem of loose denture, the present application provides a denture with a locking structure and a mounting method.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] The application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] The embodiment of the application discloses a denture with a locking structure, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The denture with the locking structure comprises an implant 1, a locking groove 11 is formed on a top wall of the implant 1, and a locking ring 2 is threadedly connected in the locking groove 11. Figure 3 The locking ring 2 is provided with an abutment 3, a connecting groove 36 is formed on a bottom wall of the abutment 3, the locking ring 2 is threadedly connected in the connecting groove 36, a counterbore 31 is formed on a top wall of the abutment 3, an abutment hole 32 vertically penetrating through the abutment 3 is formed in the abutment 3, and the abutment hole 32 is coaxially formed with and communicates with the counterbore 31. A connecting pipe 33 is fixed on the bottom wall of the abutment 3, an implant hole 12 is formed on the top wall of the implant 1, and the implant hole 12 is used for inserting the connecting pipe 33. A bolt 34 is arranged in the abutment hole 32, and the bolt 34 threadedly cooperates with the implant hole 12. A crown 4 is bonded on the abutment 3, four strip-shaped grooves 35 are formed on an outer wall of the abutment 3, a crown groove 41 is formed on a bottom wall of the crown 4, and four mounting strips 42 are fixed in the crown 4, the mounting strips 42 can be clamped into the strip-shaped grooves 35, and the relative rotation between the crown 4 and the abutment 3 is limited.

[0045] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2The locking ring 2 is installed in the locking groove 11 first, then the abutment 3 is installed on the locking ring 2, the bolt 34 is inserted into the abutment 3, the bolt 34 is threadedly connected with the implant 1, and finally the crown 4 is cemented on the abutment 3.

[0046] With reference to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the inner wall of the locking ring 2 is provided with a first thread 21 and a second thread 22, the first thread 21 is arranged at the bottom of the locking ring 2, the second thread 22 is arranged at the top of the locking ring 2, and the first thread 21 and the second thread 22 are opposite in rotation direction. The first thread 21 is connected with the implant 1, and the second thread 22 is connected with the abutment 3. Since the first thread 21 and the second thread 22 are opposite in rotation direction, after installation, the abutment 3 and the implant 1 can be restricted from each other, so as to avoid loosening of the connection between the abutment 3 and the implant 1 as much as possible. The inner wall of the locking ring 2 is fixed with a filling sheet 23, the filling sheet 23 is arranged between the first thread 21 and the second thread 22, the outer wall of the filling sheet 23 is attached to the inner wall of the locking ring 2, and the middle part of the filling sheet 23 is provided with a through hole 24 for the connecting pipe 33 to pass through.

[0047] With reference to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , four groups of locking assemblies 5 are fixed in the locking groove 11, and the locking assemblies 5 are arranged at intervals around the axis of the locking ring 2.

The outer wall of the locking ring 2 is provided with a clamping groove 25 for clamping the locking block 52. The locking ring 2 is rotated into the locking groove 11, the locking ring 2 pushes the locking block 52 into the gap, when the clamping groove 25 moves to the position of the locking block 52, the locking block 52 is reset under the elastic force of the locking sheet 51 itself, and the locking block 52 is clamped into the clamping groove 25. Figure 3 The locking block 52 can limit the vertical movement of the abutment 3, and enhance the connection between the implant 1 and the abutment 3.

[0048] With reference to Figure 6The top wall of the locking block 52 is inclined, and the side of the inclined surface away from the locking piece 51 is inclined to the side away from the locking ring 2, so that the locking block 52 can be conveniently pushed to the outside of the locking ring 2 when the locking ring 2 is installed, and the operation is convenient. The bottom of the locking block 52 is fixed with a clamping block 53, and the clamping block 53 includes a first rotating piece 55 and a second rotating piece 56.

The positioning blocks 59 are inclined, and the inclination direction of the positioning blocks 59 is the same as the rotation direction of the first screw 21, that is, if the clockwise transmission of the locking ring 2 is screwed, the counterclockwise rotation is unscrewed. When the locking ring 2 is rotated counterclockwise, the positioning blocks 59 can be in contact with the clamping block 53 to limit the movement of the clamping block 53, so that the connection between the abutment 3 and the implant 1 can be avoided as much as possible.

[0049] Referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , four baffles 61 are also fixed in the clamping groove 25, and the four baffles 61 are arranged in a circle along the axis of the locking ring. The baffle 61 corresponds to the locking assembly 5 one by one, and the baffle 61 is arranged on the side close to the locking piece 51. The baffle 61 is provided with a guide groove 62, and the guide groove 62 is communicated with the limiting groove 60. The width of the side of the guide groove 62 away from the locking piece 51 is smaller than the width of the side close to the locking piece 51, and the width of the side of the guide groove 62 away from the locking piece 51 is smaller than the width of the clamping block 53. In combination with Figure 8 , the first rotating piece 55 is fixed with a first baffle 66 on the side facing the locking piece 51, and the second rotating piece 56 is fixed with a second baffle 67 on the side facing the locking piece 51. When the clamping block 53 enters the limiting groove 60, the guide groove 62 can guide the clamping block 53, and at the same time push the first rotating piece 55 and the second rotating piece 56 to deform, so that the first rotating piece 55 and the second rotating piece 56 are close to each other. After the clamping block 53 enters the limiting groove 60, the first rotating piece 55 and the second rotating piece 56 are reset, and under the blocking action of the baffle 61, the clamping block 53 can be prevented from moving out of the guide groove 62 as much as possible.

A latch 65 is arranged in the connecting hole 64, the latch 65 can be inserted into the gap between the locking piece 51 and the implant 1, the latch 65 is in contact with the locking piece 51, so that the clamping block 53 is always kept in the limiting groove 60, thereby further enhancing the connection between the implant 1 and the abutment 3, and avoiding the denture from loosening as much as possible. After the abutment 3 is installed on the implant 1, the bottom wall of the abutment 3 is attached to the connecting ring 63, and the abutment 3 is closed to the connecting hole 64.
