Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a magnetic implantation device for accelerating healing in dentistry while awaiting the healing of titanium root-shaped screw-like dental implants (applied to the jawbone). It involves accelerating the cellular-level treatment process by increasing the release of nitric oxide (NO) through the effect of pulsed magnetic field (PMF).

[0002] Specifically, this invention relates to avoiding additional treatment costs and preventing complications in clinical studies, as well as providing an easy-to-use painless treatment option by means of the pulsed magnetic field effect. Background Technology

[0003] Dental implants are a treatment method used today after tooth loss. Dental implants act as replacement tooth roots. They provide a sturdy base that can be fixed or removed to fit natural teeth. In short, a dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of titanium, artificially placed in the patient's palatal structure to support dentures, bridges, and similar prosthetic restorations. Today, these screw-shaped implants are one of the most popular treatment options; they are placed within the jawbone as the root for reconstructing missing teeth. The main reasons patients prefer this option include: it looks like their own teeth, giving a natural feel; and because of its bone-integrating design, it provides a near-natural tooth experience; and because it is made of titanium, it does not react with human tissue, can withstand external forces, and its root-like shape allows for complete integration and fusion with the bone tissue. The process of the dental implant integrating with and being covered by bone tissue is called osseointegration. This process is painful for patients and lengthy, considering the healing of the tissue wound. Dental implants are used to replace teeth that cannot be restored despite multiple interventions, provided there is no infection. Patients with gaps between their teeth are unable to perform functions such as chewing, and their oral closure also differs. This condition can lead to temporomandibular joint problems. Implant treatment is an ideal treatment option for replacing teeth lost due to trauma, cavities, and / or periodontal disease. The implant is expected to fuse with the bone within approximately 3 to 6 months after being fixed in the tissue. Afterward, depending on the healing progress, a removable or fixed prosthesis will be fabricated and placed on the implant within a few weeks. During the healing process, patients may experience abnormal bone metabolism. In such cases, or in cases of poor bone quality, the treatment process can be prolonged, and even early implant loss may occur. Furthermore, these prolonged recovery processes can reduce the patient's quality of life.

[0004] Existing technologies use medications that increase the implant's contact with blood to accelerate the healing process and prevent potential problems. These medications include analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and medications used for similar treatments to accelerate wound healing. However, given that most patients cannot use every medication, no single approach is suitable for every patient receiving implant treatment. Furthermore, the medications used may not provide the expected rate of tissue regeneration.

[0005] Existing technology offers low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) treatment for accelerating the implant healing process. LIPUS uses devices that emit sound waves to aid wound healing. It is commonly used to treat injuries to connective tissues such as ligaments, and to help the body repair fractures. Additionally, this ultrasound is used in dentistry, but it differs from the ultrasound used to visualize body parts. Sound waves, inaudible to the human ear, travel directly through the body and are typically absorbed by different tissues such as bone. Sound waves can help stimulate responses in fractured cells and molecules. However, healing or tissue regeneration does not always occur at the desired speed and time.

[0006] Document number TR 2021 / 01837 describes a prior art wound healing device. This invention is a wound healing device that uses pulsed static magnetic and electromagnetic fields in the radio frequency (RF) band to heal wounds. However, it cannot be applied to every area, does not contain a frequency value of 1 Hz, and does not use both radio frequency and electromagnetic fields simultaneously.

[0007] Another approach used in existing technology is low-intensity laser therapy (LLLT). LLLT is a treatment method that involves delivering in-phase red and near-infrared light energy at necessary wavelengths to a depth of 40 millimeters within the body. This therapy is called low-intensity because the energy or power density used in the treatment is lower than that of other forms of laser therapy used in ablation (surgical removal), tissue cutting, and thermal coagulation. LLLT stimulates the body's natural healing mechanisms at the cellular and systemic levels. Therefore, it is a treatment that occurs when cells receive the necessary energy to optimize their function within the body. However, this method also cannot guarantee that healing or tissue regeneration will always occur at the expected speed or within the expected timeframe.

It includes an energy applicator 9 adapted to the jawbone morphology so that it can be used to treat all teeth in the mandible and maxilla and provide a uniform pulsed electromagnetic effect to the area of ​​application. An adjustable band 4 with a width of 10 mm is used to keep the magnetic implant device 1 fixed during treatment. Copper wire with a diameter of 0.8 mm and coils with a diameter range of 25-50 mm are used to achieve the pulsed magnetic field effect of the magnetic implant device 1.

The coil 2 generates a field value of 0.1-1 millitalas (mT) at a 12V power supply voltage.

[0045] The power, repetition time, and frequency of the magnetic implantation device 1 are all adjustable, and a uniform pulsed electromagnetic field is generated through the power supply configuration.
