Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of dental implants, and in particular to a multifunctional base for dental implant healing scanning. Background Art

[0002] A dental implant is a dental implant, usually made of titanium, used to replace missing teeth. It is surgically implanted into the mandible or maxilla to serve as an artificial tooth root. After a period of healing, the implant combines with the jawbone to provide a solid foundation for artificial teeth. Dental implants can be a replacement for a single tooth, multiple teeth or a full mouth of teeth, providing a natural appearance and function. The abutment is the part that connects the implant and the artificial tooth. It is an intermediate component of the implant structure and plays a supporting and connecting role. After the implant is successfully integrated with the jawbone, the abutment will be installed on the implant, and then the artificial tooth will be installed on this basis.

[0003] For example, a dental implant abutment detection platform disclosed in Chinese patent announcement number (CN211658395U) relates to the field of oral medicine technology, including an implant root and an abutment, a mounting head is provided at the lower part of the implant root, a cylindrical hole is provided inside the mounting head, a threaded hole is provided at the upper part of the cylindrical hole, a connecting head is provided at the upper part of the abutment, a cone is fixedly connected to the lower part of the connecting head, and a detection platform is provided on the upper surface of the cone. The dental implant abutment detection platform helps to quickly detect the gap between the abutment and the implant root by setting up the detection platform, facilitates positioning and scanning with a measuring microscope, reduces the probability of the gap between the implant root and the abutment in the finished product exceeding the standard value, helps to improve the tightness of the connection between the abutment and the implant root, and prevents liquid or bacteria from adhering to the gap therein.

[0004] However, the existing technology, such as the above-mentioned patent, still has the problem of poor scanning detection effect for dental implant healing. Currently, dental implant technology has been widely used in the restorative treatment of tooth loss. However, during the healing process of dental implants, medical personnel need to regularly monitor the integration of implants and bone tissue to ensure a smooth healing process. Existing monitoring methods often rely on traditional X-rays or CT scans, but these methods may not provide sufficiently accurate data and pose certain radiation risks to patients.

[0019] Furthermore, a mounting groove is provided at the bottom end of the crown, and the crown is sleeved on the outer side of the base connecting column through the mounting groove.

[0020] This technical solution provides a simple and secure connection method, which helps to improve the positioning accuracy of the crown and ensures its coordination with the patient's other teeth.

[0021] Furthermore, a clamping block is fixed to the inner top wall of the embedding groove, and a clamping slot for inserting the clamping block is provided at the top end of the base connecting column.
