Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oral implant technology, specifically to an implant for the maxillary sinus region in the posterior maxillary region. Background Technology

[0002] Maxillary sinus implants are implants used to repair maxillary bone defects. They are typically made of titanium alloy and integrate with bone tissue to provide stable support and fixation for the implant. Maxillary sinusitis is a complication that occurs after maxillary sinus implantation, caused by factors such as infection, sinus membrane damage, or abnormal implant placement. Maxillary sinusitis not only easily leads to infection of adjacent tissues but also easily causes implant loosening or poor sinus membrane healing, and in severe cases, it can even lead to implant failure. Chinese patent document CN220404159U discloses a dental implant system for maxillary sinus lift surgery. It leaves a 0.2mm gap between the implant and the cover screw for installing an absorbable mesh. The absorbable mesh covers the bone plane to fix the implant and avoid the risk of maxillary sinus membrane rupture. At the same time, it uses absorbable mesh to reduce surgical wounds, facilitate postoperative soft tissue healing, shorten the number of surgeries and time, and improve patient experience. In addition, it has a rounded bone-friendly design at the bottom of the implant to prevent maxillary sinus mucosa penetration. Although the incidence of maxillary sinus infection and bone augmentation material infection after maxillary sinus floor lift surgery is low, there is still a risk of maxillary sinus infection. Furthermore, after maxillary sinus infection occurs, the area near the maxillary sinus of the implant system cannot be flushed (the implant must be completely removed before flushing can be performed), which can lead to poor maxillary sinus healing, prolong the treatment period for maxillary sinus infection, and complicate the treatment process. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an implant for the maxillary sinus region in the posterior maxillary area. This implant can effectively overcome the problem of inconvenient irrigation treatment after maxillary sinus infection, improve the treatment efficiency and effect of maxillary sinus infection, and avoid infection deterioration. At the same time, the implant has a stable structure and good biocompatibility, which can effectively promote osseointegration and improve the success rate of implantation in the posterior maxillary region and patient comfort.

[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] An implant for the maxillary sinus region in the posterior maxillary region includes: an implant body, an implant abutment, a retention screw, and a sealing component. The implant body is a cylindrical structure with a through channel in its middle. The through channel consists of a connecting section, a fastening section, and a sealing section from top to bottom, and these sections (i.e., the connecting section, fastening section, and sealing section) are interconnected. The fastening section has a first smooth section on its upper side and a first threaded section on its lower side. The sealing section consists of a second smooth section, a second threaded section, and a tapered section from top to bottom. The bottom of the implant abutment matches the connecting area, and a through screw hole is opened in the middle of the implant abutment. The retention screw is located in the screw hole, and its lower end passes through the screw hole and is threadedly connected to the first threaded section. The sealing component is located in the sealing section.

[0006] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, the implant abutment includes a connecting part, a transgingival part and a retention part from bottom to top, and the connecting part is snapped into the connecting segment; a restorative shoulder is provided at the junction of the transgingival part and the retention part, and the retention part is a frustum-shaped structure that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom.

[0007] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, the length of the planting body is 10-13 mm and the diameter is 4.5-5.5 mm.

[0008] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, the length of the retaining screw is 7-10mm.

[0009] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, the diameter of the first smooth section, the outer diameter of the first threaded section, and the diameter of the second smooth section are the same; the outer diameter of the second threaded section is smaller than the outer diameter of the first threaded section.

[0010] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, the sealing assembly includes a sealing screw and a conical sealing block. The conical sealing block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sealing screw, and the longitudinal section of the conical sealing block is a funnel-shaped structure with a larger top and a smaller bottom. The conical sealing block and the conical segment are correspondingly arranged. The nut segment of the sealing screw is correspondingly arranged to the second smooth segment, and the threaded segment of the sealing screw is correspondingly arranged to the second threaded segment.

[0011] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, the maximum diameter (i.e., the upper diameter) of the conical sealing block is smaller than the inner diameter of the second threaded section; the height of the conical sealing block is 2-3 mm, and its taper angle is 4°-6°.

[0012] The following are the technical effects of this utility model:

[0013] This invention achieves sealing of the bottom of the implant body through the cooperation between the sealing component and the sealing section, ensuring the airtightness of the implant body; the connection between the implant abutment and the implant body is completed by the retention screw, ensuring the stability of the implant abutment. When maxillary sinus infection occurs and it is necessary to irrigate the area near the maxillary sinus of the implant root, only the retention screw and sealing component need to be removed. The through-channel can be used to irrigate and drain the implant root apex and the infected area of ​​the maxillary sinus, without disassembling the implant body. This effectively simplifies the treatment process of maxillary sinusitis, reduces patient discomfort, and improves the efficiency and effectiveness of maxillary sinusitis treatment during dental implantation.

Figure 1 As shown), the implant body 10 has a cylindrical structure with a through channel in its center. The length of the implant body 10 is 10-13 mm (preferably 12 mm), and the diameter is 4.5-5.5 mm (set according to the specific implant socket size, preferably 4.5 mm). The through channel consists of a connecting section 11, a fastening section, and a sealing section from top to bottom, and these sections (i.e., the connecting section 11, the fastening section, and the sealing section) are interconnected (e.g., ...). Figure 2 As shown), the upper part of the fastening section is the first smooth section 121, and the lower part is the first threaded section 122. The sealing section, from top to bottom, consists of the second smooth section 131, the second threaded section 132, and the tapered section 133 (as shown). Figure 2(As shown); the diameter of the first smooth section 121, the outer diameter of the first threaded section 122, and the diameter of the second smooth section 131 are the same; the outer diameter of the second threaded section 132 is smaller than the outer diameter of the first threaded section 122 (as shown). Figure 2 (As shown).

[0020] The bottom of the planting base 20 matches the connecting area 11, and a through screw hole 24 is opened in the middle of the planting base 20 (the screw hole 24 is a stepped hole with a larger upper diameter and a smaller lower diameter, and its lower diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of the hole in the first smooth section 121, such as...). Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown), the implant abutment 20 includes, from bottom to top, a connecting portion 21, a transgingival portion 22, and a retention portion 23, with the connecting portion 21 snapped into the connecting segment 11 (combined with...). Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown); a restorative shoulder 25 is provided at the junction of the perforation portion 22 and the retention portion 23 (the perforation portion 22 extends from the upper end of the implant body 10 to the gingival level, the surface of the perforation portion 22 is a smooth and continuous concave shape, and its diameter gradually increases from the upper end of the implant body 10 to the gingival level, combined with... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown; at the same time, the maximum diameter of the upper end of the transgingival portion 22 and the lower end of the retention portion 23 form a restorative shoulder 25), the retention portion 23 is a frustum-shaped structure with a smaller upper part and a larger lower part (the surface of the retention portion 23 is provided with an anti-rotation bevel for connection with the implant crown).

[0021] The retaining screw 30 is set inside the screw hole 24, and its lower end passes through the screw hole 24 and is threadedly connected to the first threaded section 122 (e.g. Figure 1 As shown), the length of the retaining screw 30 is 7-10 mm (preferably 9 mm).

[0022] The sealing assembly is located within the sealing section and includes a sealing screw 41 and a conical sealing block 42. The conical sealing block 42 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sealing screw 41, and the longitudinal section of the conical sealing block 42 is a funnel-shaped structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom (e.g., Figure 2 As shown, the conical sealing block 42 is correspondingly arranged with the conical section, the nut section of the sealing screw 41 is correspondingly arranged with the second smooth section 131, and the threaded section of the sealing screw 41 is correspondingly arranged with the second threaded section 132. The maximum diameter (i.e., the upper diameter) of the conical sealing block 42 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second threaded section 132 (to ensure that the conical sealing block 42 will not get stuck due to interference from the second threaded section 132 during the installation process from top to bottom); the height of the conical sealing block 42 is 2 to 3 mm (preferably 2.5 mm), and its taper angle is 4° to 6° (preferably 5°).

[0023] Working principle:

[0024] During the implantation process, the implant body 10 is first inserted into the implant socket (during this process, the sealing component is preferentially located within the sealing section via a threaded connection to achieve closure of the bottom of the implant body 10); then, the implant abutment 20 is connected to the implant body 10 via the retention screw 30 (e.g., Figure 1 (As shown in the diagram). Then, the implant crown is bonded to the surface of the retention portion 23 using adhesive bonding or other methods. The edge line of the implant crown terminates at the restorative shoulder 25, and its edge line is generally located 0.5–1.0 mm below the gingival surface. In the event of complications such as maxillary sinusitis, the implant abutment 20 and implant crown are disassembled by tightening the retention screw 30. Then, the sealing screw 41 is tightened to detach the sealing component from the through-channel of the implant body 10, thereby exposing the area of ​​the implant body 10 root near the maxillary sinus. The area is then treated with irrigation via the through-channel using an irrigation device.
