Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of dental root implant technology, and in particular relates to a personalized root implant. Background Technology

[0002] Personalized root implants are implants made according to the shape of the tooth root of the affected tooth. Their shape matches the alveolar socket, and they can be implanted without preparing a cavity after tooth extraction. They have the characteristics of being immediate, minimally invasive, having good initial stability, good aesthetic effect, and good biomechanical compatibility.

[0003] From a biomechanical perspective, the morphology of natural tooth roots is the optimal adaptation to the local biomechanical environment. Implants that perfectly match the shape of the extraction socket offer significant advantages: immediate placement is possible, shortening the treatment cycle; the contact area between the implant and bone tissue is maximized, providing better initial stability; the risk of bone resorption after extraction is reduced; and soft tissue support is improved, optimizing aesthetic results. These characteristics make them an ideal choice for rapid restorations and applications with high aesthetic requirements.

[0004] However, existing technologies have some problems: traditional implants suffer from the following issues: standardized morphology makes it difficult to match personalized extraction sockets, affecting immediate implantation results; traditional fabrication processes struggle to achieve complex biomimetic structures; the connection methods are limited, failing to meet diverse restorative needs; and the interface between the implant and soft tissue is suboptimal, affecting aesthetic results. On the other hand, pure titanium and Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloys are the most commonly used materials for dental implants, but their elastic modulus (110-114 GPa) is much higher than that of bone tissue (cancellous bone approximately 4-7 GPa, cortical bone approximately 13-17 GPa), easily leading to stress shielding effects and peri-implant bone resorption. Therefore, we propose a personalized root-shaped implant. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a personalized root-shaped implant. The 3D prototype root-shaped implant is prepared by using titanium-tantalum alloy, and the design of Morse taper holes and internal hexagonal base holes allows the root-shaped implant to fit the shape of the extraction socket, enabling immediate implantation, shortening the treatment cycle, and facilitating the stable connection of the prosthesis.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows: a personalized root-shaped implant includes an implant body, the upper end of which has a central screw hole, the upper part of which has a Morse taper hole, and the upper end of which has an internal hexagonal base hole.

[0007] Specifically, the implant body includes an abutment portion and a multi-root portion, with the multi-root portion located in the lower part of the abutment portion.

[0008] Specifically, the implant body, the central screw hole, the Morse taper hole, and the internal hexagonal base hole are integrally printed using a metal 3D printer with Ti-40Ta alloy powder.

[0009] Specifically, the Ti-40Ta alloy powder is prepared by gas atomization, and the particle diameter of the Ti-40Ta alloy powder is 45-100μm; the laser power of the metal 3D printer is 300W, the scanning speed is 700mm / s, and the layer thickness is 30μm.

[0010] Specifically, the depth of the internal hexagonal base hole is 3mm, the diameter of the central screw hole is 2.5mm, the internal hexagonal base hole is connected to the Morse taper hole, and the central screw hole is located in the middle of the Morse taper hole.

[0011] Specifically, the surface of the multi-tooth root is provided with bone holes and protrusions, the bone holes are located at the bottom of the multi-tooth root, and the protrusions are located at the upper part of the multi-tooth root.

[0012] Specifically, the side surface of the abutment is set as a smooth surface, the height of the smooth surface is set to 1.5 mm, and the porosity of the bone pore is 45-65%.

[0013] Specifically, the height of the multi-tooth root is 4mm, the height of the bone foramen is 2mm, and the height of the protrusion is also 2mm.

[0014] Specifically, the multi-root portion reconstructs the shape of the extraction socket based on CBCT data, the multi-root portion is connected to the interior of the extraction socket, and the abutment portion is connected to the interior of the gingiva.

[0015] Specifically, the upper part of the base is fitted with a denture, and the screw at the lower end of the denture is threaded into the interior of the central screw hole. The support block at the lower end of the denture follows the screw and engages with the interior of the Morse taper hole. The bottom of the denture is engaged with the interior of the internal hexagonal base hole.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This invention utilizes a Ti-Ta alloy to significantly improve the biomechanical properties of the implant, balancing durability and reducing the stress barrier effect. The titanium-tantalum alloy, selected as the main material, possesses excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties. Its elastic modulus is significantly lower than that of the traditional Ti-6Al-4V alloy, more closely resembling human bone tissue, effectively reducing the stress shielding effect. Simultaneously, the introduction of tantalum enhances the material's corrosion resistance and bone integration capacity. Biomimetic design and personalized matching are achieved through 3D printing, enabling minimally invasive surgery and long-term implant stability. 3D printing technology ensures the implant perfectly matches the extraction socket morphology. The inner surface of the bone incorporates biomimetic trabecular porous structures with bone holes and protrusions, facilitating implant fixation within the socket. Furthermore, a central screw hole and a Morse taper hole are designed at the upper end of the implant for easy connection and installation of the prosthesis, along with an internal hexagonal base hole at the upper end to improve connection stability and prevent rotational dislodgement.

[0043] The specific steps of this application are as follows:

[0044] Titanium-tantalum alloy (Ti-xTa, x = 30-50 wt%) was selected as the main material. This alloy has excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties, and its elastic modulus (75-85 GPa) is significantly lower than that of the traditional Ti-6Al-4V alloy, making it closer to human bone tissue and effectively reducing the stress shielding effect. At the same time, the introduction of tantalum element improves the material's corrosion resistance and bone integration ability. 3D printing technology was used to achieve a perfect match to the tooth extraction socket morphology. The surface of the multi-root portion 102 is provided with bone holes 103 and protrusions 104. Located at the bottom of the multi-root portion 102, the protrusion 104 is located at the top of the multi-root portion 102, with a porosity and clearance of 45-65%; the central screw hole 2 is designed with an M2.0 thread and an internal connection anti-rotation structure, the internal connection anti-rotation structure being a Morse taper hole 3 and an internal hexagonal base hole 4, and the side surface of the abutment portion 101 can be optionally added as a smooth surface 105 with a height of 1-2mm to meet different restoration needs; combined with advanced processes such as selective laser melting 3D printing and plasma surface treatment, the precise manufacturing of personalized implants can be achieved;

[0045] Specific implementation method: First, Ti-40Ta alloy powder with a particle size of 45-100μm is prepared by gas atomization; then, it is shaped using a metal 3D printer with a laser power of 300W, a scanning speed of 700mm / s, and a layer thickness of 30μm; then, plasma surface treatment is performed with a power of 200W for 15min.

The gingiva adheres to the smooth surface 105 of the side surface of the abutment 101, thus wrapping the abutment 101. Before the implant body 1 is installed inside the gingiva, the prosthesis is installed on the upper part of the abutment 101, and the screw at the lower end of the prosthesis is threaded into the central screw hole 2. The support block at the lower end of the prosthesis is engaged with the screw in the Morse taper hole 3, and the bottom of the prosthesis is engaged with the internal hexagonal base hole 4.
