Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an acid etching fixture, which is particularly suitable for dental implants. Background Technology
[0002] Dental implants are also known as dental implants or artificial tooth roots. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a single-piece dental implant (SPC) is shown, which has external threads 1, internal threads 2, and an open end with a smooth circumferential surface 3 and a smooth annular end face 4. Dental implants are surgically inserted into the maxilla or mandible at the site of tooth loss. After the surgical wound heals, the threads integrate with the maxilla or mandible. Before use, implants typically undergo acid etching to create a microporous structure at the threads, increasing surface roughness, thereby increasing the bone contact area, promoting osseointegration, and improving the initial stability of the dental implant.
[0003] During the acid etching process described above, the smooth open end (including the smooth circumferential surface 3, the smooth annular end surface 4, and the transitional conical surface between them) should not be etched. If these smooth surfaces connected to the denture are corroded, bone cells will overgrow in these areas after the dental implant is placed, thus affecting its subsequent fit with the denture. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an acid etching fixture for dental implants, which can at least effectively protect the opening end of the dental implant during the acid etching process.
[0005] According to this utility model, a dental implant tip protection etching fixture is provided, comprising:
[0006] The main body has an upward-opening threaded blind hole;

Figure 2-8 As shown, the acid etching fixture of this utility model generally includes a main body 5, a multi-stage screw 6, a sealing gasket 7, and a fixing nut 8.
[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the main body 5 has a three-tiered stepped outer profile, comprising an upper platform 9 and a lower fixed shaft 11. The lower fixed shaft can be inserted into the fixing holes of the sandblasting machine spindle and the acid etching tank to achieve precise positioning of the fixture. The main body 5 also has an upward-opening threaded blind hole 10. The main body 5 can be made of acid-resistant plastic.
[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the multi-stage screw 6 has an upper threaded shank 15, an intermediate threaded shank 13, and a lower threaded shank 12. An intermediate smooth shank 14 is provided between the upper threaded shank 15 and the intermediate threaded shank 13. The intermediate smooth shank 14 has a smaller annular shoulder 16 and a larger annular shoulder 17, both of which are planar shoulders. The multi-stage screw 6 has its maximum outer diameter at the intermediate threaded shank 13. Furthermore, an inverted annular shoulder 18 (also a planar shoulder, used to abut against the upper surface of the upper platform 9 of the main body 5, as described later) is formed between the intermediate threaded shank 13 and the lower threaded shank 12 of the multi-stage screw 6.
[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the sealing gasket 7, made of elastic material, has a longitudinal central through hole. The upper part of the central through hole forms a conical surface 21, and the lower part is a cylindrical surface 20. The sealing gasket 7 also has an upper outer circumferential wall 22. The bottom surface or lower surface 19 of the sealing gasket 7 is used to abut against the annular shoulder 17 of the intermediate smooth rod portion 14.
[0038] like Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the fixing nut 8 has a longitudinal central through hole, the lower part of which forms an internal threaded hole 24, and the upper part forms a conical surface 25. The bottom surface or lower surface 23 of the fixing nut 8 is flush with the upper surface of the upper platform 9 of the main body 5. The fixing nut 8 can be made of acid-resistant plastic.
[0039] Figure 9 for Figure 1 The diagram shows a dental implant combined with an etching fixture according to the present invention for use in an etching work tank. (See diagram for reference.) Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, first screw the lower threaded portion 12 of the multi-stage screw 6 into the threaded blind hole 10 of the main body 5 until the inverted annular shoulder 18 abuts against the upper surface of the upper platform 9 of the main body 5. Then... Figure 1 The dental implant shown is inverted, with its open end fitted onto the upper threaded portion 15 of the multi-stage screw 6, and its internal thread 2 forming a threaded connection with the upper threaded portion 15, until the smooth annular end face 4 of the dental implant's open end abuts against the smaller annular shoulder 16 of the intermediate smooth portion 14. Next, the sealing pad 7 is fitted over the dental implant onto the intermediate smooth portion 14, with the cylindrical surface 20 forming an interference fit with the intermediate smooth portion 14, until the lower surface 19 of the sealing pad 7 abuts against the larger annular shoulder 17 of the intermediate smooth portion 14; simultaneously, the smooth circumferential surface 3 of the dental implant's open end forms an interference fit with the upper conical surface 21 of the central through hole of the sealing pad 7. Finally, the internal threaded hole 24 of the fixing nut 8 is threadedly connected to the intermediate threaded rod portion 13 until the lower surface 23 of the fixing nut 8 abuts against or is flush with the upper surface of the upper platform 9 of the main body 5. At the same time, the upper conical surface 25 of the fixing nut 8 forms an interference fit with the upper outer circumferential wall 22 of the sealing gasket 7. The entire assembly is symmetrical about the central axis 26. In this way, the open end with the smooth circumferential surface 3 and the smooth annular end face 4 is placed in the sealed space formed by the sealing gasket 7 and the smaller annular shoulder 16 of the intermediate smooth rod portion 14, thereby achieving effective isolation from the acid etching solution.
