Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a clinical tightening device suitable for dental procedures. Background Technology
[0002] The dental implant procedure involves inserting a biocompatible implant, such as one made of titanium, into the alveolar bone. After a three-month healing period, the implant integrates with the bone, and then the abutment and crown are attached. The abutment and implant are connected by a central screw. Tightening the central screw requires a screwdriver, the tip of which corresponds to the groove on the screw's surface inside the abutment. The clockwise rotation of the screwdriver ensures a tight connection between the implant and abutment. Precise placement and tightening of the central screw are crucial for the long-term stability of the abutment and crown. Even a small misalignment between the abutment and implant can prevent further tightening, even if the central screw is not yet properly in place. In such cases, if the patient removes the crown, complications such as abutment or crown loosening and implant failure can easily occur. However, in clinical practice, dentists often rely on touch to tighten the central screw, making it difficult for implant surgeons, especially younger ones, to accurately determine its placement. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a tightening device that can count and thus determine whether the tightening is complete.

When a component is considered "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or may have a component in between. When a component is considered "set on" another component, it can be directly set on the other component or may have a component in between. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.
[0014] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0015] See Figure 1 This utility model provides a clinical tightening device suitable for dental clinics, comprising: The system comprises: a main body; a working part located at the bottom of the main body, the working part including a screwdriver tip for contacting and rotating a screw; a counting unit located in the middle of the main body for recording and displaying the number of rotations of the working part; and an operating part located at the top of the main body for controlling the rotation of the main body and the working part, and displaying data in conjunction with the counting unit.
[0016] The working part includes a connecting rod and a tip, which are sequentially connected to the body. The tip is made of a magnetic material. The counting unit includes a counter and a connector, which are connected to the counter and have a gear structure. The operating part includes a handle, which is fixedly connected to the body. When the handle is rotated, the working part and the body rotate synchronously, and the counter records and displays the number of rotations.
