Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of manufacturing oral orthodontic implant anchorage guide plates, in particular to a digital design and manufacturing method of a mixed support type multi-angle visualized self-adaptive orthodontic implant anchorage guide plate, which is suitable for high-risk cases that require absolute anchorage and have narrow interradicular spaces or are adjacent to important anatomical structures. BACKGROUND

[0002] Orthodontic implant anchorage (TAD, Temporary Anchorage Device) or micro implant anchorage (MIA, Micro Implant Anchorage) is a micro screw anchorage technology that is born from the intersection of orthodontics and implantology. It is a titanium alloy or stainless steel micro screw with a diameter of 1-2 mm and a length of 6-12 mm, which is temporarily implanted into the alveolar bone or jaw bone to provide a "thread-unmoving anchor point" for orthodontic force, so as to accurately move the target teeth without displacement of the teeth that should not be moved. However, when implanting the orthodontic micro implant anchorage, there are cases with small interradicular space, adjacent nerve canal, limited visual field, or the need for immediate high stability. Therefore, the existing technology uses digital preoperative CBCT + oral scan registration to lock the implant site in the software and generate a rigid solid guide plate. During the operation, the implant pin is implanted through the guide plate to mechanically reproduce the pre-set path. Compared with the traditional orthodontic implant pin, which requires the doctor to judge the implant position and direction based on experience, the existing technology fundamentally reduces the risk of root damage, shortens the operation time, and improves patient comfort. However, in clinical work, the traditional guide plate technology for orthodontic implant anchorage often has the following problems:

[0003] · Registration and positioning accuracy problem: In the existing technology, the CBCT data registration error of oral scan data is large, and manual adjustment is required, so that the implant position of the anchorage pin cannot accurately avoid the tooth root and key anatomical structures.

[0004] · Guide plate structure design defect problem: The existing technology cannot adapt to different handle diameters, and multiple sets of instruments need to be customized. In addition, the intraoperative observation is limited, and the implantation path cannot be monitored in real time. After the operation, it is difficult to dislocate the guide plate when the pin head is protruding.

[0005] · Inadequate intraoperative stability problem: The existing technology only relies on tooth support and is easily displaced by mucosa or oral angle traction. When rotating the anchorage pin, it is easy to roll into the surrounding mucosa, causing the implantation path to deviate, and the oral angle contraction force causes the guide plate angle to deviate. SUMMARY

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, provide a mixed support type multi-angle visual adaptive orthodontic implant anchorage guide plate manufacturing method, the implant anchorage guide plate manufacturing method of the present application is based on digital data, designed through professional 3DSlicer, Blender software, combined with 3D printing or other ways to process and manufacture mixed support type multi-angle visual adaptive orthodontic implant anchorage guide plate, the present application optimizes the design process of traditional orthodontic implant nail guide plate, improves the operation precision, initial stability and safety, and the implant guide plate made by the present application has the advantages of high precision, stability, universality and visualization.

[0032] The application will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments, but the protection scope of the application is not limited thereto:

[0033] In combination Figures 1-4 , the technical scheme adopted by the application is:

[0034] A mixed support type multi-angle visual adaptive orthodontic implant anchorage guide plate manufacturing method is applied to the manufacturing of implant anchorage guide plates for high-risk patients who need absolute anchorage and have narrow tooth root gaps or adjacent important anatomical structures at the implant site; the manufacturing method comprises:

[0040] S6, finished product: remove the support rod after printing, polish and polish, and after disinfection, the production is completed.

[0041] Further, in the data fitting step, the CBCT is preprocessed and data registration is completed using 3D Slicer software; the registration principle is: taking the three-dimensional shape of the hard tissue teeth in the two data sources as the reference, ensuring that the tooth crown and root position completely coincide and the outline is clear.

[0042] Further, the data fitting step is: automatically segmenting the CBCT data to obtain the STL model of the teeth and the upper and lower jaw bones; then automatically registering the tooth crown and mucosa STL obtained by intraoral scanning according to the tooth STL obtained by CBCT segmentation.

[0043] Further, in the step of designing the orthodontic implant pin, the registered model is imported into the Blender software, as shown in Figure 1 , using a model with a diameter of 1-2mm and a length of about 6-12mm Figure 1 (medium green cylinder), placing the implant pin at the preset implant position, adjusting the implant angle, and avoiding the tooth root and nerve canal Figure 1 (medium blue part).

[0044] In combination Figures 2-5 , the orthodontic implant guide plate designed by the application has tooth-mucosa-bite triple mixed support, the tooth support surface 6 uses the crown shape to design a rigid positioning part; the mucosa support surface 7 designs an elastic structure that fits the gum and disperses the pressure; the occlusion support surface 8 designs an occlusion support structure at the corresponding position of the lower jaw, forming a triple mixed support.

[0045] The mucosa support surface 7 is located at the bottom of the main body 1 of the implant guide plate; the tooth support surface 6 is connected to the mucosa support surface and comprises a support structure wrapping the bottom of the tooth; and the occlusion support surface 8 is arranged on the back of the support structure.

[0046] The main body 1 of the implant guide plate is designed as a C-shaped elastic conduit, which is a hollow cylinder 2, one side of the body of which is provided with a longitudinal opening to form a through-type visualization track 3, and the cross section of the C-shaped elastic conduit is in the shape of a C.

[0047] The inner diameter of the C-shaped elastic conduit is matched with the size of the handle, and the inner diameter of the C-shaped elastic conduit is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the size of the handle.

[0048] An observation hole 5 is arranged at the bottom of the front surface of the main body of the implant guide plate.

[0049] A slope 10 is arranged on the other side of the body of the implant guide plate relative to the visualization track, the slope 10 is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, and a groove 9 is arranged on the slope 10, the groove 9 serves as a distal pressure point to prevent soft tissue from being rolled in and offset the pulling force of the corner of the mouth.

[0050] The body of the implant guide plate below the observation hole is cut off by 1 mm of material to form two left and right arms 4, the arms 4

[0051] In the use process, the arms are used to press the free gingiva to prevent the free gingiva from being rolled into the surrounding mucosa when the abutment pin is rotated.

[0052] Further, in the self-adaptive step of designing the orthodontic implant guide plate, the size of the handle is first measured in Blender, and a corresponding C-shaped elastic conduit is made on the guide plate according to the size, so as to ensure that the conduit can be elastically held tightly to prevent shaking, and different diameter handles can share the same guide plate to realize self-adaptation.

[0053] Further, in the mixed support type multi-angle step of designing the orthodontic implant guide plate, a tooth-mucosa-occlusion triple mixed support is designed in Blender. The tooth support surface uses the shape of the crown to design a rigid positioning part; the mucosa support surface designs an elastic structure that fits the gum to disperse the pressure; and the occlusion support surface designs an occlusion support structure at the corresponding position of the lower jaw to form a triple mixed support.

[0054] Further, in the visualization step of designing the orthodontic implant guide plate, an open track is designed in Blender to facilitate the observation of the pin body entering process during the operation, and a head channel is reserved to facilitate the smooth removal of the guide plate after the operation.

[0055] Further, in the mixed support type multi-angle visualization self-adaptive orthodontic implant guide plate step, a pressure mucosa elastic arm and a distal pressure point are designed in Blender to prevent soft tissue from being rolled in and offset the pulling force of the corner of the mouth.

[0057] The mixed support type multi-angle visual adaptive orthodontic implant anchorage guide plate designed based on the application can support two clinical implant strategies: one-step preparation-free implantation, that is, the implant nail is directly guided into the inclined hollow cylinder and the operation is completed, but there is a risk of nail body slipping along the bone surface; two-step pre-drilling implantation, first, the observation hole 5 is used to vertically drill the bone surface to form an initial cortical bone channel, and then the C-shaped hollow cylinder-shaped 2 of the same guide plate is rotated into the implant nail at a preset inclination angle. Thus, the same guide plate can realize the multi-angle conversion of "vertical pre-punching-inclined formal implantation", significantly expanding the application scenarios and improving the implant precision and safety.

[0058] The problems that can be solved by the application include:

[0059] (1) Surgical accuracy advantage

[0060] The 3D Slicer automatically registers the STL of the oral cavity scanning and the STL of the CBCT segmented teeth, so as to ensure that the anchorage nail implantation position is accurately avoided from the tooth root and the key anatomical structure.

[0061] (2) Surgical convenience advantage

[0062] The handle size of the pre-designed Blender matches the guide plate and the designed C-shaped elastic multi-size adaptive guide pipe, which can tightly wrap and adapt to the anchorage nail handle of different diameters, reducing the intraoperative adjustment steps.

[0063] (3) Surgical safety advantage

[0064] Through the straight open visual track and the visual opening above the anchorage nail head channel, the whole nail entering process is visualized, and the anchorage nail head channel is reserved, allowing the guide plate to be smoothly removed when the nail head protrudes, avoiding tissue damage caused by intraoperative violent dislocation.

[0065] (4) Surgical stability advantage

[0066] Through the adoption of tooth-mucosa-bite triple mixed support, the stress is dispersed and the guide plate stability is enhanced, the pressure mucosa elastic double arms are additionally added, the free gingiva is actively pressed and pasted, the surrounding mucosa is prevented from being rolled in when the rotating anchorage nail, and the distal mucosa pressure point is designed, the guide plate is fixed on the mucosa with additional instruments, and the displacement of the guide plate caused by the mouth corner traction is offset to ensure the constant implantation angle.

[0067] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the application. Various modifications or changes in the specific embodiments described herein can occur to those skilled in the art to which the application pertains without departing from the spirit of the application, and it is understood that such modifications or changes are to be considered as within the scope of the application as defined by the appended claims.
