Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dental implant technology, and in particular to a multifunctional healing scanning rod assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of dental implant restoration, digital design has replaced the traditional wax-cast restoration process and has become the industry mainstream. The main process of digital design includes: In the first stage of treatment, the dental implant is inserted into the patient's alveolar bone, and the healing abutment is installed on the dental implant. During the healing process, the gingival wound is wrapped with the healing abutment to form a gingival cuff, ensuring that the dental implant restoration meets medical and aesthetic requirements. After the dental implant has completed osseointegration in the patient's mouth, the patient returns to the dental clinic for the second stage of treatment. An impression or intraoral scan is performed to obtain data on the teeth in the oral cavity. The healing abutment is removed, and a scanning rod is installed on the dental implant in the patient's mouth. An intraoral scanner is used to scan the scanning rod to obtain three-dimensional data of the patient's dentition. Alternatively, a transfer rod is installed on the dental implant in the patient's mouth. Through biting impression and plaster mold making, a scanning rod is installed on the plaster mold, and a scanning rod is used to scan to obtain three-dimensional data of the patient's dentition, thus realizing digital design.

[0003] In related technologies, although there are already healing abutment scanning rods that integrate the functions of healing abutment, transfer rod, and scanning rod, the scanning area of ​​the healing abutment scanning rod is exposed to the oral environment during treatment, which easily leads to plaque deposition. During the second stage of treatment, the alignment accuracy of the scanning rod is affected, which in turn affects the fabrication accuracy of the restoration, making frequent rework very likely. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a multifunctional healing scanning rod assembly, which aims to solve the above problems.

[0005] This utility model discloses a multifunctional healing scanning rod assembly, including: a scanning rod body, a plug, and a lower screw. The scanning rod body is hollow inside and is connected to one end of a dental implant via the lower screw. The plug is placed on the end of the scanning rod body away from the dental implant.

The outer side of the locking part 42 is provided with an external thread that matches the internal thread of the inner wall of the first hole 130. The pick-and-place handle 4 facilitates the doctor to install the scanning rod body 1 into the dental implant 5 so as not to obstruct the finger installation action of the adjacent teeth. During operation, the locking part 42 is threadedly connected to the first hole 130 to realize the tightening of the pick-and-place handle 4 and the scanning rod body 1, and the scanning rod body 1 can be picked up and put down through the pick-and-place handle 4. When the scanning rod body 1 is inserted into the first hole 51 of the dental implant 5, the circumferential direction can also be adjusted.

[0030] In a specific embodiment, during the primary implantation surgery, the dental implant 5 is pre-implanted into the patient's alveolar bone, and then this multifunctional healing scanning rod assembly is installed. Specifically, the doctor uses the pick-and-place handle 4 to pick up and place the scanning rod body 1. Using the pick-and-place handle 4, the lower interface 11 of the scanning rod body 1 is inserted into the first hole 51 of the dental implant 5. The lower screw 3 is inserted from the inside of the scanning rod body 1 into the internal threaded hole 511 of the dental implant 5. A screwdriver is used to screw the lower screw 3 into the internal threaded hole 511 until the lower screw 3 is tightened, so that the scanning rod body 1 and the dental implant 5 are securely connected together. The main body 1 of the scanning rod reliably engages with the first hole 51 of the dental implant 5. Then, a screwdriver is used to screw the protective cap 21 into the end of the scanning unit 13 away from the main body 12. After the dental implant 5 completes osseointegration in the patient's mouth, the patient returns to the dental clinic for secondary treatment, to take an impression or perform an intraoral scan to obtain intraoral dental data. Specifically, the dentist uses a screwdriver to unscrew the protective cap 21 to expose the scanning unit 13, and then uses an intraoral scanner to perform an intraoral scan on the patient. If an intraoral scanner is not available, a plug screw 22 can be installed and an impression can be taken. After the scan or impression is completed, the protective cap 21 is put back on to complete the secondary scan or impression.
