[0002] Oral implant tent nail technology uses tent nails (which look like thumbtacks) to provide and maintain bone formation space, which can improve the effect of bone augmentation. The technology has low sensitivity. As another treatment method for bone augmentation, it has attracted widespread attention from dentists and achieved remarkable results in clinical practice.
[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN208864525U, titled "A tent screw for mandibular bone grafting," comprises a body comprising a threaded section that screws into the mandible and a disc that secures bone powder within the bone defect and supports the grafting space. The disc is secured to the end of the screw. The tent screw is implanted directly into the mandible and then removed a second time.

[0037] The following is a further detailed description of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments:
[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, a biodegradable tent peg for dental implant bone augmentation is made of polylactic acid (PLA). Polylactic acid, also known as polylactide, is a polyester polymer obtained by polymerization of lactic acid as the main raw material. It is a new type of biodegradable material.
[0039] A tent peg made of polylactic acid consists of a self-tapping tip 4, a threaded portion 3, a connecting portion 2, and a tent cap 1, from the bottom tip to the top cap. The self-tapping tip 4 is connected to the end of the threaded portion 3, which is connected to the tent cap 1 via the connecting portion 2. The tent cap 1 has a hollow portion 13 for filling and monitoring bone powder levels. The tent peg is used with a screwdriver, such as a screwdriver.
[0040] The self-tapping tip 4 is a tapered, self-drilling screwdriver. The screw, in conjunction with the tent cap, is tightened to insert the tent peg into the alveolar bone base, ensuring that at least half the length of the threaded portion 3 is embedded in the alveolar bone base. The connecting portion 2 and the threaded portion 3 are integrally connected, forming a cylindrical shape. The connecting portion 2 has a smooth surface.
[0041] The diameter of the connecting portion 2 is in the range of 5-7 mm, and the diameter of the tent cap 1 is in the range of 7-9 mm. The thread direction of the threaded portion 3 is toward the tip side, and the length of the threaded portion 3 is 4-6 mm. Figure 1 The dimensions of the tent peg provided in this application are as follows: the cylindrical diameter of the connecting portion 2 is 6 mm, the maximum diameter of the tent cap 1 is 8 mm, and the thread pitch of the threaded portion 3 is 0.8 mm.
[0042] Among them, the tent cap 1 is constructed by combining a bottom ring seat 12 and at least two vertical plates 11. The bottom end surface of the bottom ring seat 12 is lower than the top end surface of the connecting part 2 and partially overlaps, or the bottom end surface of the bottom ring seat 12 is flush with the top end surface of the connecting part 2.
[0043] The vertical plates 11 are arranged crosswise and extend outward in all directions. The hollow areas formed between adjacent vertical plates 11 are combined to form a hollow portion 13. In the coaxial end face, the portion of the hollow portion 13 that extends beyond the end face of the connecting portion 2 forms a window for observing the height of the bone powder. An assembly groove 14 is constructed in the intersection area of the vertical plates 11 near the center of the end face of the connecting portion 2.
[0044] The mounting groove 14 can be configured in any shape that aligns with the operating end of the screw component, allowing for insertion and operation of the screw component. Using a matching screwdriver, insert the screw into the cross groove and firmly screw the tent peg into the corresponding alveolar bone approximately 3-5 mm. Then, place an appropriate amount of bone powder under the tent peg, externalize the periosteum, relieve soft tissue tension, and suture to stop bleeding and prevent soft tissue tearing.
[0045] In one or more embodiments, Figure 1 Combined with attachment Figure 2 As shown, the overall physical structure of the tent cap 1a is constructed by a bottom ring seat 121 and two cross-ribs 111, and the bottom of the rib 111 is connected to the bottom ring seat 121 as a whole; the outer edge of the bottom ring seat 121 is circular, and the top contour of the rib 111 is arc-shaped, and the supported top surface is dome-shaped as a whole. The two ribs 111 divide the dome-shaped top surface into four parts, and the adjacent ribs 111 are hollowed out, and the hollow space is connected to the cavity in the bottom ring seat 121 to form a through portion 131 for observation.
[0046] As attached Figure 3 As shown, a groove 141 is opened along the center line of the top profile of the rib 111, and the intersecting grooves 141 form a cross-shaped groove structure for the screwdriver to be inserted.
[0047] In one or more embodiments, see the attached Figure 4 Combined with attachment Figure 5 The tent cap 1b includes a cylindrical shell 122 with an assembly platform 15 in the center. A central groove 142 is provided on the assembly platform 15. Support plates 112 extend from the outer wall of the central groove 142 to the surrounding area and connect to the inner wall of the tent cap 1b. The bottom plane of the tent cap 1b is flush with the top end surface of the connecting portion 2. The spaces between adjacent support plates 112 are hollowed out to form observation windows 132. The central groove 142 can be designed into any shape that conforms to the operating end of the screw-tightening component. Figure 6 As shown in the top view, the center groove 142 is configured as an octagon, which matches and limits the operating end of the screw-tightening component to facilitate force application.
[0048] The present application discloses a biodegradable tent nail for dental implant bone augmentation. The biodegradable polylactic acid bone nail is used to augment the dental implant. In clinical use, the nail does not require secondary surgery to remove the nail after healing, thereby reducing surgical costs. The hollow design on the top of the tent nail helps to observe the height of bone powder and improve clinical operation efficiency.
