Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a drill bit for assisting in the external lifting and fenestration of the maxillary sinus. Background Technology

[0002] External maxillary sinus lift, also known as open maxillary sinus lift, is commonly used in dental implant surgery in oral surgery. It involves creating a window in the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus, directly visualizing and peeling away the maxillary sinus floor mucosa, then pushing it upwards and inwards to increase alveolar bone height. This procedure is suitable for patients with severe bone deficiency. During external maxillary sinus lift, bone removal and window opening are required on the anterior wall of the maxillary sinus. Commonly used tools have drawbacks in window opening: incomplete opening is possible, especially for novice surgeons, and further window opening may lead to mucosal rupture. The opening height is often difficult to control; opening too high increases the difficulty of mucosal peeling and the risk of rupture, while opening too low reduces the volume of bone graft material, affecting bone regeneration. To address this, a drill was designed to assist in enlarging the window opening after initial opening. This enlarges the maxillary sinus opening while protecting the maxillary sinus mucosa, and further refines the opening height to protect the maxillary sinus mucosa and promote bone regeneration.

[0003] Current drills for assisted maxillary sinus lift fenestration can basically meet people's needs, but some problems still exist, as detailed below:

[0004] 1. The drill bit used for assisted maxillary sinus external lift fenestration has difficulty reducing the risk of rupture, and there is a possibility of incomplete fenestration. Especially for novice doctors, further fenestration may lead to mucosal rupture. Often, the height of the fenestration is difficult to control. If the fenestration is too high, it will increase the difficulty of mucosal dissection and the risk of rupture. If the fenestration is too low, it will reduce the volume of bone powder retention and affect bone regeneration. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drill bit for assisting in external maxillary sinus lift and fenestration, in order to solve the defect of existing drill bits for assisting in external maxillary sinus lift and fenestration that are difficult to reduce the risk of rupture.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a drill bit for assisting in the external lifting and fenestration of the maxillary sinus, including a mounting plate;

[0007] A rod is mounted on the bottom end of the mounting plate, and a connecting rod is mounted on the bottom end of the rod.

[0008] A baffle is installed at the bottom end of the connecting rod, an inner rod is installed inside the connecting rod, and a reinforcing structure is installed inside the connecting rod.

[0009] The bottom end of the baffle is equipped with a working end, and the bottom end of the working end is equipped with a drill bit structure, the drill bit structure including a first drill bit installed at the bottom end of the connecting rod.

[0010] When in use, the main bone-removing drill bit has a smooth, rounded head, similar to the first dissector in a maxillary sinus lift tool. This protects the maxillary sinus mucosa during the bone-removing process and allows for minor dissection of the mucosa when the drill is not in use. The working end is a cutting edge inside a groove, which can be made of diamond or toothed material. This further enlarges the opening of the maxillary sinus and removes some sharp edges that may puncture the maxillary sinus mucosa. The topmost end is a protective end, which ensures that the drill bit is held in place on the bone surface during operation and does not suddenly slip and puncture the maxillary sinus mucosa or get caught in the drill bit.

[0011] Furthermore, the drill bit structure includes a second drill bit installed at the bottom end of the connecting rod, a third drill bit installed at the bottom end of the connecting rod, and a fourth drill bit installed at the bottom end of the connecting rod. The model of the drill bit can be replaced.

[0012] Furthermore, the drill bit structure includes a fifth drill bit mounted at the bottom end of the connecting rod, and a sixth drill bit mounted at the bottom end of the connecting rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the reinforcing structure includes a reinforcing layer disposed inside the connecting rod, a first reinforcing rib installed inside the reinforcing layer, and a second reinforcing rib installed inside the reinforcing layer. The first and second reinforcing ribs can enhance the structural strength of the connecting rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the second reinforcing rib is distributed in a ring shape, and the second reinforcing rib is arranged at equal intervals inside the reinforcing layer. The material of the reinforcing rib can be made of steel.

[0015] Furthermore, the first reinforcing ribs are arranged at equal intervals inside the reinforcing layer, and the first reinforcing ribs are distributed in a ring shape inside the reinforcing layer.

[0016] The advantages of the drill bit for assisting in external maxillary sinus lift and fenestration provided by this utility model are: during use, the drill bit can be kept on the bone surface and will not suddenly fall out and puncture the maxillary sinus mucosa or get caught in the drill bit. The drill bit also needs to be replaced for use under different circumstances.

[0017] The tool is equipped with a first drill bit at the bottom of the connecting rod. The first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth drill bits are of different models, with heads available in four specifications: 1mm, 3mm, 5mm, and 8mm. These are used for different window opening heights to ensure the remaining bone height of the maxillary sinus floor. The main bone-removing drill bit has a smooth, rounded head, similar to the first dissector in the maxillary sinus external lifting tool. This protects the maxillary sinus mucosa during the bone drill's operation and allows for minor mucosal dissection when the drill is not in use. The working end is a cutting edge inside a groove, which can be made of diamond or toothed. This further enlarges the maxillary sinus window opening and removes sharp edges that might puncture the maxillary sinus mucosa. The top is a protective end that ensures the drill bit stays on the bone surface during operation, preventing it from suddenly slipping and puncturing the maxillary sinus mucosa or getting caught in the drill bit. This helps reduce the risk of rupture when using the drill bit for maxillary sinus external lifting window opening. Attached Figure Description
