Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical repair tools, and more specifically, to a tent nail for oral cavity use. Background Technology
[0002] Dental implant restoration is a modern method of replacing missing teeth by surgically implanting artificial tooth roots (implants) into the alveolar bone. However, many patients in clinical practice often lack sufficient bone volume at the implant site. Therefore, alveolar bone augmentation surgery is necessary before implant surgery. During alveolar bone augmentation surgery, tented anchors are used to maintain a stable space, resist pressure from the surrounding soft tissues, and provide a long-term stable osteogenic environment. However, traditional tented anchors often use a one-piece design that cannot be disassembled for use or flexibly switched according to surgical needs. Furthermore, if traditional tented anchors use a perforated mesh structure, their fixed overall shape may not be able to accurately adapt to different bone surfaces or soft tissue repair needs, thus affecting blood supply penetration and osteogenic effectiveness.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 The present invention provides an oral tent nail, including a nail post 1 and a nail head 2. The components of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the top of the nail post 1 may be provided with a limiting head 11, and a blind hole 111 is provided on the top end face of the limiting head 11. A frustum portion 112 is provided between the lower part of the limiting head 11 and the rod body of the nail post 1. A self-tapping thread 12 is provided on the outer wall from the lower part of the rod body of the nail post 1 to its end. The end of the nail post 1 is provided with a pointed cone structure.
[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the shape of the blind hole 111 can be set to a cross shape or a straight line shape. In this embodiment, the blind hole 111 is preferably set to a cross shape.
[0028] Depending on the actual needs, the length of nail post 1 can be set to 10mm, 8mm or 6mm.
[0029] In this embodiment, the nail post 1 can be used alone and as a conventional bone nail for surgeries such as BBA (bone splitting surgery). The pointed cone structure and self-tapping thread 12 of the nail post 1 facilitate direct screwing into the bone block, providing stable support for fixing the bone block or assisting in bone augmentation.
[0030] Preferably, the length of the limiting head 11 of the nail post 1 is set to 0.6-2mm, the length of the frustum portion 112 of the limiting head 11 is set to 0.3-1mm, the length of the self-tapping thread 12 at the lower part of the nail post 1 is 2-4mm, and the length of the pointed cone structure at the end of the nail post 1 is set to 1mm-2mm.
[0031] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the nail head 2 can be configured as a flat dome structure. The nail head 2 includes a perforated mesh portion 21 and an edge portion 22. The edge portion 22 surrounds the outer edge of the perforated mesh portion 21. A central hole 23 is provided in the middle of the perforated mesh portion 21 of the nail head 2. The inner wall of the central hole 23 is provided with a beveled contact portion 231 that matches the taper of the truncated cone portion 112. The lower end of the inner wall of the central hole 23 is provided with an internal thread 232. The rod at the lower end of the truncated cone portion 112 is provided with an external thread 13. The internal thread 232 of the nail head 2 and the external thread 13 of the nail post 1 can be threadedly connected to achieve a detachable connection.
[0032] The external thread 13 and internal thread 232 at the connection between the nail head 1 and the nail post 2 both adopt a double thread structure. The two are tightened by a torque of no more than 8 N·cm, which can not only ensure that the nail head 2 and the nail post 1 are firmly fixed, but also avoid bone tissue damage due to excessive tightening, thus ensuring the safety of the operation.
[0033] Specifically, the top arc angle of the flat dome of the nail head 2 can be ≤20°. In this embodiment, the top arc angle is set to <17°, which takes into account both spatial support and tissue fit, and reduces stimulation to the surrounding soft tissue.
[0034] Preferably, the material of the perforated mesh portion 21 of the nail head 2 can be set as a metal material, a polymer material, or a biodegradable material.
[0035] In this embodiment, the hollow mesh part 21 is made of metal, preferably titanium or titanium alloy.
[0036] Preferably, the diameter of the nail head 2 is set to 5-10 mm, and the width of the edge portion 22 of the nail head 2 is 0.3-1 mm.
[0037] In this embodiment, the diameter of the limiting head 11 of the nail post 1 is set to 1.5-3mm, and the diameter of the rod body of the nail post 1 is set to 1-2mm.
[0038] Furthermore, the center diameter of the center hole 23 of the nail head 2 is adapted to the diameter of the nail post 1, and the bottom diameter of the center hole 23 of the nail head 2 is set to 1-2 mm.
[0039] In practical implementation, a guide drill bit 3 with a bottom diameter of 1mm can be used first (e.g., Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the alveolar bone cavity is prepared by guiding the pin post 1 and the pin cap 2, and then the pin post 1 and the pin cap 2 are screwed together to form a tent pin. The tent pin is then inserted into the prepared cavity, thereby providing a stable space for bone graft material during bone augmentation surgery. The flat dome structure of the pin cap 2 can avoid mucosal compression and reduce the risk of postoperative perforation. The hollow mesh part 21 simulates the function of a small titanium mesh, allowing blood and tissue to grow in, promoting blood supply and bone regeneration. The edge part 22 also provides additional support area.
[0040] The diameter of the guide drill bit 3 is usually 0.2 mm smaller than the diameter of the rod of the nail post 1. The tip of the guide drill bit 3 is set as a triangular shape. The tail end of the guide drill bit 3 can be inserted into the planting machine or a low-speed machine for driving. The length of the guide drill bit 3 can be 21 mm or 25 mm. In this embodiment, its length is not limited.
[0041] In summary, this utility model adopts a separate design of the nail post and nail head, which enables flexible use. When used alone, the nail post can be used as a bone screw in surgeries such as BBA to fix bone blocks. The nail head and nail post are combined to form a tent nail, which can be used for bone augmentation surgery. The hollow mesh design of the nail head can provide better blood supply, adapt to different bone surface or soft tissue repair needs, and has good osteogenesis effect. The threaded connection between the nail post and nail head has good stability, is easy to operate, meets a variety of clinical needs, improves surgical results, and reduces costs.
[0042] The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model, but the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited to the above embodiments. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be considered equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
