Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oral dental implants, and in particular to a composite structure implant and an implant system. Background Art
[0002] Implants, commonly known as artificial tooth roots, are an important part that replaces natural teeth in the jaw to perform the chewing function. They usually form an implant system together with abutments, screws, crowns, etc., which can restore the function and beauty of missing teeth while maintaining oral health and stability.
[0003] Implants are usually made of biocompatible materials that can form a stable bone bond with bone tissue. Currently, the most commonly used material for implants is pure titanium. However, for pure titanium implants, its metallic color can cause aesthetic problems when the implant leaks out in the patient's later years. Studies have found that zirconia material is also a good biocompatible material, and its color is similar to that of natural tooth roots and has strong aesthetics. However, since implants are small in size, complex in structure (especially their inner surface must be designed with anti-rotation, channels, internal threads and other structures that match the base and screws), and have high precision requirements, and zirconia materials are hard and difficult to process, and are highly sensitive to defects. They are prone to cracks and implant breakage due to processing processes such as mechanical cutting. Therefore, there are few pure zirconia implants on the market. In summary, providing a new composite structure implant to solve the above problems is an urgent need in the current market. Utility Model Content

[0033] Figures 1 to 4 The overall structure, explosion diagram, cross-sectional view, etc. of the implant provided by an embodiment of the present application are respectively shown. As shown in the figure, the implant 1 includes an inner metal part 11 and a zirconia part 12 wrapped around the outside of the metal part 11. The top of the metal part 11 is flush with the top of the zirconia part 12. The outer side surface of the metal part 11 and the inner side surface of the zirconia part 12 are sintered and fused. The outer contour of the metal part 11 is adapted to the outer contour of the zirconia part 12, so that the thickness of the zirconia part 12 is uniform at all locations, which can make the zirconia part evenly stressed at all locations, avoiding cracks or even breakage due to concentrated stress at fragile locations; in some preferred embodiments, the thickness of the zirconia part 12 is preferably 0.4 to 2.0 mm.
[0034] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a cavity is opened inside the metal part 11, the upper part of which is connected to the outside world and the lower part is closed, and is used to connect with the connecting screw 2 and the base 3. The cavity includes a first connecting hole 131 and a second connecting hole 132 arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The first connecting hole 131 is a through hole with a cross-section shaped like a hexagonal plum blossom, which is used to connect with the base 3 to limit the position and prevent the base 3 and the implant 1 from rotating relative to each other. It is conceivable that the cross-section of the first connecting hole 131 can also be a pentagonal, square, triangular or more than hexagonal plum blossom. In some other specific embodiments, the cross-section of the first connecting hole 131 can also be a regular polygon; the second connecting hole 132 is a blind hole structure, and its circumferential side wall is provided with an internal thread for matching with the external thread of the connecting screw 2 for connection.
[0035] The zirconia part 12 includes a fixed platform section 121, a main body section 122 and a cone section 123 arranged in sequence from top to bottom, wherein the fixed platform section 121 is an inverted conical frustum structure, which can reduce the pressure on the cortical bone and avoid cortical bone absorption; the main body section 122 and the cone section 123 are both provided with external threads 124 on the outer periphery for connecting with the alveolar bone.
[0036] In some preferred embodiments, the cone section 123 is further provided with a self-tapping groove 1231. Figure 1In the embodiment shown, the self-tapping groove 1231 is a vertical groove, which extends in the vertical direction to the bottom end of the cone section 123, so that the implant has self-tapping performance and can be directly screwed into the connecting hole without the need for a tapping step; in some other embodiments, the self-tapping groove 1231 can also be an oblique groove, a spiral groove, etc.
[0037] The external structure of the zirconia part 12 is described in detail above. The external structure of the metal part 11 is similar to the external structure of the zirconia part 12, and also includes a fixed platform section, a main body section, a cone section, and an external thread and a self-tapping groove structure arranged from top to bottom. For details, please refer to the external structure of the zirconia part 12, which will not be repeated here.
[0038] In some specific embodiments, the metal part 11 may be made of any one of nickel-chromium alloy, cobalt-chromium alloy, titanium alloy, pure titanium, and gold alloy.
[0039] Figures 5 to 7 Exploded views and cross-sectional views of the overall structure of an implant system provided in another embodiment of the present application are shown. As can be seen from the figure, the implant system includes the implant 1, the connecting screw 2, and the abutment 3 as described in any of the above embodiments, which are coaxially arranged. The abutment 3 includes a crown connecting section 31, a gingival section 32, and a first connecting protrusion 33 coaxially arranged from top to bottom. The interior of the abutment 3 is a through-hole structure, including a first through-hole 341 and a second through-hole 342. The diameter of the first through-hole 341 is larger than the diameter of the second through-hole 342.
[0040] Among them, the crown connecting section 31 is a frustum-shaped structure, which is convenient for the production and installation of the crown; the gingival section 32 is a frustum-shaped structure with an inverted taper, and its bottom end face abuts against the top end face of the fixed platform section 121 of the implant 1; the first connecting protrusion 33 is a protrusion structure that matches the first connecting hole 131, such as Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, it is a hexagonal plum blossom-shaped protrusion structure, which can ensure a stable connection between the implant 1 and the abutment 3 and improve the anti-rotation effect;
[0041] The connecting screw 2 is used to connect the implant 1 and the base 3, and includes a head and a threaded part, wherein the head cooperates with the first through hole 341 in the base 3, and the threaded part passes through the second through hole 342 in the base 3 and the first connecting hole 131 in the implant 1, and is connected to the second connecting hole 132 in the implant 1.
[0042] In some preferred embodiments, the head of the connecting screw 2 is provided with a hexagonal cylindrical head to facilitate operation with a tool.
[0043] In some preferred embodiments, Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the implant system also includes a spring 4, which is located in the cavity formed by the implant 1, the connecting screw 2 and the base 3. Specifically, it is sleeved on the connecting screw 2 and is located in the space formed by the connecting screw 2 and the first connecting hole 131. The top of the spring 4 abuts against the bottom surface of the head of the connecting screw 2, and the bottom of the spring abuts against the lower surface of the first connecting hole 131. The natural length of the spring 4 is greater than the height of the first connecting hole 131. By adding a spring structure and assembling the spring in a compressed state, the impact caused by the bite force can be buffered, the stress level at the connection between the components can be effectively reduced, and the overall strength of the implant system can be improved.
[0044] The above is a detailed introduction to the specific implementation methods of the present application. For those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to the present application without departing from the principles of the present application. These improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present application.
