Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a bone chisel for dental implants. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, for example, as shown in Figure 11, in order to insert an implant, a bone chisel with a flat tip (straight wedge shape, blade thickness of 0.5 mm, blade opening angle of 11 degrees) is inserted into a 0.3 mm wide slit (gap in the bone) that has been made in advance in the cortical bone with an ultrasonic cutter (ultrasonic scalpel), and the slit is widened to a width of, for example, 1.0 mm.
[0003] Related technology includes a dental cutting tool that is simple to operate and easy to control, with a handle that is detachably connected at one end to a high-speed rotor and a cutting part attached to the other end of the handle, the cutting part tapering along the axis of rotation and having a regular polygonal cross section, and the corners of the cutting part that rotates at high speed scrape away the surface of the bone, with the cross section of the cutting part being a regular polygon with 3 to 6 sides and the longitudinal cross section of the cutting part being spindle-shaped or partially circular, allowing for efficient scraping of bone, with good finished surface quality (see Patent Document 1).

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Registered Utility Model No. 3063991 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] However, it is difficult to insert a bone chisel with a blade thickness of 0.5 mm into a slit that is 0.3 mm wide. Therefore, there was a need for a bone chisel with a thin blade that could be inserted smoothly and perpendicularly into the bone, that would not apply too much force when first inserted, which would cause the bone to crack, and that would not apply enough force when inserting and widening the slit, which would cause the bone to crack. Here, axe blades with hollow shapes and curved surfaces are known, but the purpose of axes is to split wood with light force, while bone chisels are required to not split bones even when the worker applies strong force. In other words, the purpose of the two is the opposite, and it can be said that the shape of the axe blade is a technology that has an obstacle when it comes to combining them.
