Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of zygomatic bone implant technology, specifically to a zygomatic bone implant positioning bow. Background Technology
[0002] Zygomatic bone implants are a restorative treatment for patients with severe maxillary atrophy, particularly suitable for cases where traditional implants cannot provide sufficient bone volume support. This technique achieves immediate restoration and long-term stability by fixing the implant in the maxilla and zygomatic bone. However, due to the complex anatomical structures involved in zygomatic bone implants, the implantation angle, depth, and stability are crucial. The zygomatic bone is located close to sensitive areas such as the orbit and maxillary sinus; even slight deviations can lead to serious postoperative complications, such as zygomatic bone perforation, maxillary sinus infection, or nerve damage.
[0003] Traditional zygomatic bone implant surgery relies heavily on the surgeon's experience, using manual measurements or simple mechanical positioning tools to place the implant. However, the anatomical characteristics of the zygomatic bone and the angle requirements of the implant are extremely demanding, and manual operation often fails to guarantee precise implant positioning, thus increasing the risk of surgical failure. In the existing published patent EP4018961A1, the device ensures strong intraosseous locking of the maxilla during zygomatic bone surgery, ultimately enabling implant placement. However, its positioning structure is relatively complex, and there is still room for optimization in this area. Utility Model Content
[0004] The core of this invention is to provide a zygomatic bone implant positioning bow. This tool combines the advantages of mechanical guidance, providing an adjustable positioning tool for zygomatic bone implant surgery, ensuring accurate implant placement, and improving the success rate of the surgery.
[0005] The zygomatic bone implant positioning bow includes a main bow frame. One end of the main bow frame has a lower port, and a guide sleeve is provided at the lower port. An adjusting component is provided outside the guide sleeve. The guide sleeve has a through first hole. The adjusting component can be displaced relative to the first hole. The middle of the adjusting component has a second through hole that is coaxial with it and passes through both ends of the adjusting component. Both the adjusting component and the guide sleeve are rotating structures. The axis of the adjusting component is on the same straight line as the axis of the first hole inside the guide sleeve.
[0006] The combination of the guide sleeve and the adjustment piece allows for adjustment of the thread fit during surgery to control the distance between the nut and the bottom surface of the guide sleeve, thereby controlling the depth of the second through hole into the zygomatic bone and ultimately affecting the implantation depth of the zygomatic bone implant. This ensures that the implant is precisely placed in the predetermined direction, which not only improves surgical efficiency but also reduces the incidence of postoperative complications due to improper adjustment, thus making postoperative oral hygiene maintenance simpler for patients.
[0007] This utility model's adjusting component has a nut at one end, and a second through hole passes through the nut. During surgery, the implant can be inserted into the zygomatic bone along the second through hole. The design of the second through hole allows for precise directional drilling of the zygomatic bone during surgery, achieving accurate implantation of the zygomatic bone implant.
[0008] This utility model's main bow frame includes a main body with a bent upper port at one end and an arc-shaped lower port at the other end. The cross-sectional dimensions at the connection between the main body and the upper port increase towards the connection between the main body and the lower port. The main bow frame is made of high-strength medical-grade alloy, possessing sufficient rigidity and fatigue resistance to withstand greater operational forces, thus preventing deformation or displacement of the positioning bow during surgery. Before surgery, the specific dimensions of the main bow frame can be designed using preoperative CT scans to obtain the patient's three-dimensional skeletal data. The main bow frame, through a predetermined curvature and structural design, matches the patient's zygomatic bone anatomy, providing overall positioning support for the positioning bow.
[0009] The upper end of the main arch frame of this utility model is an arc-shaped structure. The two ends of the arc-shaped structure are respectively provided with a second tooth and a third tooth. The arc-shaped structure between the second tooth and the third tooth forms an opening. The left and right end faces of the second tooth and the third tooth extend to the tooth tip in an angled structure. The third tooth and the second tooth are used to fix the positioning arch on the cheekbone during surgery.
[0010] The upper end of this utility model is provided with a positioning groove. The first tooth, the second tooth, the third tooth, and the fourth tooth together form the positioning groove. The function of the positioning groove is to fix the entire positioning bow on the cheekbone.
[0011] The second tooth of this invention has a first tooth on one side that connects to the arc-shaped structure of the upper port, and a fourth tooth on one side that connects to the arc-shaped structure of the upper port. The left and right end faces of the first, second, and third teeth extend to the tooth tip at an angle. The left end face of the fourth tooth is flat, and the right end face is arc-shaped. The left and right end faces are connected at the tooth tip. The first, second, third, and fourth teeth together form a positioning groove to ensure that the positioning bow is fixed on the cheekbone during surgery.
[0012] The arc center of the upper port arc structure of this utility model is on the common axis of the adjusting component and the first hole. When the positioning groove is stuck in the cheekbone, it can perform precise directional drilling on the cheekbone to achieve precise implantation of the cheekbone implant.
[0013] The first hole of this utility model is a threaded hole. The threaded hole of the first hole can be matched with the external thread of the adjusting component. The adjusting component can change the distance between the nut and the bottom surface of the guide sleeve by adjusting the degree of matching with the threaded hole. The length and diameter of the adjusting component itself can also be adjusted according to the thickness of the patient's zygomatic bone. Ultimately, it can achieve the function of adjusting the implant angle and depth during the operation, ensuring that the implant can be accurately implanted into the zygomatic bone and maxilla in the predetermined direction, and ensuring the stability and smoothness of the implantation.
[0014] The advantages of this invention are as follows: The zygomatic bone implant positioning arch employs a main arch frame and adjusting screw design, ensuring precise positioning of the zygomatic bone during surgery. This structure effectively reduces positioning errors caused by patient head movement or improper surgical procedures, thereby improving implant accuracy. The main arch frame, made of high-strength medical alloy, possesses excellent rigidity and fatigue resistance. This material can withstand greater operational forces during surgery, preventing deformation or displacement of the positioning arch and ensuring the long-term stability of the implant. The guide sleeve and positioning slide rail combination allows the surgeon to adjust the implantation angle and depth in real time during surgery, ensuring precise implantation in the predetermined direction. This feature not only improves surgical efficiency but also reduces the incidence of postoperative complications due to improper adjustments, making postoperative oral hygiene maintenance simpler for patients.
