Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dental implant design and manufacturing technology, specifically to an internal connection structure between an implant and an abutment. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of dental implant design and manufacturing, the connection stability between the implant and the abutment is crucial to the long-term performance of the implant system. Studies have shown that micro-gaps and micro-movements between the abutment and the implant can significantly affect the fatigue load-bearing capacity of the implant system, leading to problems such as fracture and failure after long-term use. These problems mainly stem from long-term occlusal load, which causes micro-movements at the connection between the implant and the abutment, thereby reducing the load-bearing capacity of the system.
[0003] The shortcomings of existing technology:
[0004] 1. Insufficient stability: Some existing connection designs may loosen after prolonged use, affecting the function of dental implants and patient comfort.
[0005] 2. Poor anti-rotation performance: Some connection structures lack effective anti-rotation mechanisms, which makes the base prone to rotation during fastening or use, affecting the repair effect.
[0006] 3. Inconvenient maintenance: Some connection structures are complex, and once a problem occurs, disassembly and replacement are difficult, which is not conducive to later maintenance and adjustment.
[0007] Therefore, existing technologies have shortcomings and need further improvement. Utility Model Content
[0008] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides an internal connection structure between the implant and the abutment.
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the specific solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0010] This utility model provides an internal connection structure between an implant and an abutment, comprising:
[0011] Implant, abutment, fastening screws;
[0012] The implant has a first mounting hole, and the abutment has a second mounting hole that extends vertically through it. The fastening screw includes a shank, with a head at the upper end and a first external thread at the lower end.
[0013] The interior of the first mounting hole is provided with a first section, a second section, and a third section from bottom to top;
[0014] The first section of the first mounting hole is also provided with a first internal thread;
[0015] The outer side of the base is provided with a fourth section, a fifth section, a sixth section, and a seventh section from bottom to top;
[0016] The fourth and fifth segments at the lower end of the abutment are sequentially disposed in the second and third segments of the first mounting hole of the implant.
[0017] The fastening screw passes through the second mounting hole of the base;
[0018] The first external thread at the lower end of the fastening screw is connected to the first internal thread of the first segment of the implant.
[0019] The head of the fastening screw is used to restrict the upward movement of the abutment, thereby fixing the abutment in the implant.
[0020] Furthermore, the included angle formed by the left and right sides of the fifth segment of the base is less than 10 degrees.
[0021] Furthermore, the included angle of the third segment of the first mounting hole of the implant corresponds to the fifth segment of the abutment.
[0022] Furthermore, the second segment of the first mounting hole of the implant is shaped as an equilateral hexagon, an equilateral octagon, or a cone.
[0023] The shape of the outer side of the fourth segment at the lower end of the abutment corresponds to the shape of the second segment of the first mounting hole of the implant.
[0024] Furthermore, a second external thread is provided on the outer side of the implant.
[0025] Furthermore, the top of the fastening screw is provided with a wrench interface, which is an equilateral hexagon.
[0026] The technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0027] 1. Improve connection stability:
[0028] By setting a multi-segment structure in the first mounting hole of the implant, and setting a first internal thread in the first segment to cooperate with the first external thread of the fastening screw, the abutment can be firmly fixed in the implant to prevent loosening.
[0029] The angle between the fifth segment of the abutment and the third segment of the first mounting hole of the implant is matched, further enhancing the stability of the connection.
[0030] 2. Enhanced anti-rotation properties:
[0031] The angle formed by the left and right sides of the fifth section of the base is less than 10 degrees. This design helps to reduce the tendency of the base to rotate during the fastening process.
[0032] The second segment of the first mounting hole of the implant and the fourth segment of the abutment adopt the same geometry (equilateral hexagon, equilateral octagon or conical), which effectively prevents the rotation of the abutment and improves the reliability of the connection.
[0033] 3. Improve adaptability:
[0034] The second section of the first mounting hole and the fourth section of the base can adopt different geometries to adapt to the specific conditions of different patients, thereby enhancing the versatility and flexibility of the connection structure.
[0035] 4. Simplified installation process:
[0036] The top of the fastening screw is equipped with an equilateral hexagonal wrench interface, which facilitates the use of tools for tightening operations, simplifies the installation process, and reduces the difficulty of the operation.
[0037] 5. Enhances biocompatibility and osseointegration:
[0038] The implant has a second external thread on its outer side, which helps the implant integrate better with the bone tissue, promotes osseointegration, and improves the long-term stability of the implant.
[0039] 6. Easy to maintain and adjust:
[0040] By optimizing the connection structure design, the connection between the abutment and the implant is made more stable, while also facilitating later disassembly and maintenance, reducing patient discomfort and the difficulty of operation for doctors. Attached Figure Description
