Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a dental drill device. Background Technology

[0002] Implants can not only restore a single missing tooth but also replace the function of natural teeth in partially and completely edentulous patients, improve the aesthetic aspects of dental prosthetic restorations, and furthermore, prevent implant failure by dispersing excessive stress applied to the surrounding alveolar bone tissue.

[0003] Once the implant placement site is determined, the gum tissue corresponding to the site is removed from inside the patient's oral cavity, and a perforation is formed in the exposed alveolar bone for the insertion of the implant.

[0004] At this time, when an implant serving as the root of an artificial tooth is placed in the above-mentioned perforation, a temporary tooth, such as a healing abutment, is attached to the implant to prevent gums or other foreign substances from entering the implant during osseofusion between the implant and the alveolar bone.

[0005] Then, after a osseointegration period of about 3 to 6 months has elapsed following the attachment of the healing abutment, the healing abutment is removed and the abutment is attached. At this time, the insertion direction of the implant may change slightly during the process of osseointegration with the alveolar bone, and the insertion path of the abutment may be blocked by the regenerated alveolar bone and gums during the osseointegration period.

[0006] Accordingly, after the removal of the healing abutment, a process is required to remove the gum or alveolar bone located in the connection path between the abutment and the implant using this profile drill.

[0007] This drilling procedure is performed using a surgical guide tool called a guide device. While fixed within the oral cavity, the guide device has guide holes formed to guide the implantation position corresponding to the implant surgery plan. The guide holes are formed coaxially with the implant.

[0008] Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 1, if the condition of the alveolar bone and gums is not good depending on the patient's condition, the implant (1) is implanted at an angle, and in this case, an angled abutment (2) that is bent at a certain angle must be attached to the implant (1). In order to insert the bent abutment, the alveolar bone (3) and gums (4) that interfere with the protrusion (2a) of the abutment must be removed. However, the interference area is located away from the guide hole (5), so there was a problem that it was difficult to remove the interference area while using a guide device.

[0009] Furthermore, when the guide is detached, there is a problem in that it is difficult to accurately remove the gums or alveolar bone based on the planned direction, location, and depth of the perforation formation. Prior art literature

[0012] In one embodiment, the outer surface of the drill body may have a tapered shape in which the diameter decreases as it goes downward.

[0013] In one embodiment, the lower surface of the stopper part may be a tapered shape that is supported on the upper part of the guide hole and has a diameter that decreases as it goes downward.

[0014] In one embodiment, the outer surface of the drill body and the lower surface of the stopper may be inclined by α.

[0015] In one embodiment, the drill body may move up to α or less with respect to the center axis of the guide hole.

[0016] In one embodiment, the drill bit can rotate circumferentially with respect to the center axis of the guide hole while being inclined by up to α with respect to the center axis of the guide hole.

[0017] In one embodiment, the drill bit moves at a maximum of α or less with respect to the central axis of the guide hole and can cut the outer region of the guide hole.

[0018] In one embodiment, the drill body portion may include a round surface disposed between the stopper portion and the outer surface, with the diameter gradually decreasing towards the top.

[0019] In one embodiment, the drill bit may include a plurality of lower cutting blades provided at the bottom and a plurality of flat cutting blades provided on the side.

[0020] In one embodiment, the lower cutting blade may be formed to be pointed as the cross-sectional area decreases toward the tip.

[0021] In one embodiment, the lower cutting blade and the flat cutting blade may be arranged in a radially spreading form. Effects of the invention

[0022] According to one aspect of the present invention, when a dental drill device moves in a circumferential direction with respect to the central axis of a guide hole, the outer region of the guide hole can also be partially removed by the circumferential movement of the drill bit.

[0023] In addition, since the dental drill device is stably supported at two points located opposite each other with respect to the central axis of the guide hole, user convenience is improved while accuracy during the alveolar bone removal procedure can be enhanced.

[0024] In addition, the lower edge of the flat cutting blade is formed to be inclined downward, which facilitates the insertion of the drill bit and prevents breakage that may occur due to stress concentration at the corners, and ensures a uniform cutting surface when the drill moves in an inclined state.

[0029] Terms including ordinal numbers such as ‘first’ or ‘second’ used herein may be used to describe various components or steps, but such components or steps should not be limited by ordinal numbers. Terms including ordinal numbers should be interpreted solely for the purpose of distinguishing one component or step from other components or steps.

[0030] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0031] FIG. 2 illustrates a dental drill device according to one embodiment of the present invention mounted on a guide device.

[0032] The guide device (10) is formed into a profile inside the oral cavity according to the implant procedure plan based on the patient's oral information, and is provided to be inserted into the oral cavity and secured by wrapping around the periodontal tissue.

[0033] The guide device (10) can stably guide all implant procedures, including drilling operations, while fixed in the oral cavity. Additionally, it is preferable that the guide device (10) has guide holes (11) formed along the location where the implants are to be placed, corresponding to the number of implants to be placed. As an example, the guide device (10) may be a surgical guide or a stent.

[0034] The guide hole (11) may be formed directly in the guide device (10), but it is also possible to form it in a sleeve (12) coupled to the guide device (10) to stably support rotation of the dental drill device (100) by reducing frictional force during rotation of the dental drill device (100) and preventing deformation during rotation.

[0035] With the sleeve (12) coupled to the guide device (10), the guide hole (11) formed directly in the guide device (10) and the guide hole (11) formed in the sleeve (12) can be in communication with each other.

[0036] The guide device (10) may further have a sleeve mounting hole formed therein for coupling the sleeve (12). The sleeve mounting hole may be formed with a larger diameter than the guide hole (11) so that the sleeve (12) can be inserted into the sleeve mounting hole. Alternatively, when the sleeve (12) is inserted into the sleeve mounting hole, the upper outer edge (14) of the sleeve (12) may be formed to protrude in an outer radius direction so that the upper outer edge (14) of the sleeve (12) can be secured by being caught on the upper end of the sleeve mounting hole.

[0037] The upper inner edge (13) of the guide hole (11) can be rounded or chamfered to allow for smooth rotation of the dental drill device (100).

[0038] FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a dental drill device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0039] Referring to FIG. 3, a dental drill device (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a shank part (110), a drill body part (120), a stopper part (130), and a drill blade part (140).

[0040] The shank portion (110) has a mounting portion (111) formed at the upper end that is coupled to a dental handpiece. The shank portion (110) can transmit rotational force transmitted from the dental handpiece to the drill body portion (120) and the drill bit portion (140). Here, it is preferable that the shank portion (110) be provided with a diameter smaller than the diameter of the stopper (130).

[0041] The drill body (120) is inserted into the inside of the guide hole, slides along the axial direction of the guide hole inside the guide hole, and supports rotation inside the guide hole, thereby improving accuracy during the alveolar bone removal procedure.

[0042] The drill body portion (120) extends radially outward from the center of rotation of the shank portion (110). The drill body portion (120) is formed in a tapered shape with a diameter decreasing towards the bottom and is formed symmetrically with respect to the central axis (C1). The widest part of the drill body portion (120) has an outer diameter corresponding to the inner circumference of the guide hole.

[0043] A stopper part (130) is provided on the upper part of the drill body part (120), and a drill blade part (140) is provided on the lower part of the drill body part (120). The stopper part (130) is located between the drill body part (120) and the shank part (110).

[0044] For example, the stopper portion (130) extends radially outward from the bottom of the shank portion (110). Here, the lower surface (131) of the stopper portion (130) is configured to be constrained and seated on the upper edge of the guide hole, and it is preferable to have a diameter wider than the inner circumference of the guide hole.

[0045] The lower surface (131) of the stopper part (130) is formed in a tapered shape with a diameter that decreases as it goes downward.

[0046] FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of a drill bit portion according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0047] A drill bit (140) according to one embodiment of the present invention is composed of a lower cutting part (141) provided at the bottom and a flat cutting part (142) provided on the side.

[0048] The lower cutting section (141) may be provided in a polygonal horn shape in which the cross-sectional area narrows as it extends downward. That is, the lower cutting section (141) may be formed to be pointed as the cross-sectional area decreases toward the tip section (143). In addition, a plurality of lower cutting blades (141a) are arranged radially with respect to the tip section (143).

[0049] In this way, since the drill bit (140) is provided in a wedge shape, the bone in the interference area can be easily removed while the drill bit (140) moves in an inclined state within the guide hole. In addition, the initial entry of the drill bit (140) into the guide hole is facilitated. Furthermore, when drilling within the guide hole, unnecessary cutting of the implant drilling hole formed for implant placement can be minimized.

[0050] The flat cutting section (142) is provided on the outer surface of the drill blade section (140) and is formed with a step difference from the lower cutting section (141). A plurality of flat cutting blades (142a) are arranged radially along the outer circumference of the drill blade section (140). The lower edge (142b) of the flat cutting blade (142a) may be formed to be inclined downward toward the lower cutting section (141). Due to the lower edge (142b), insertion of the drill blade section (140) is facilitated, damage that may occur due to stress concentration at the corners can be prevented, and a uniform cutting surface can be secured when the drill moves in an inclined state. However, it is not limited thereto, and the lower edge (142b) may be formed in a round shape.

[0051] The structure of the lower cutting section (141), flat cutting blade (142a), and lower edge (142b) of the drill bit section (140) allows for easy removal of bone that may interfere when installing the abutment.

[0052] FIG. 5 is a partial enlarged cross-sectional view of the drill body and stopper portion according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0053] Referring to FIG. 5, the drill body (120) may include a tapered outer surface (121) with a diameter that decreases as it goes downward, a apex (122) located at the top of the outer surface (121) which has the largest diameter, and a round surface (123) that extends from the bottom of the stopper (130) to the apex (122) and has a diameter that increases as it goes downward.

[0054] The diameter of the drill body (120) at the apex (122) may be the same as the inner diameter of the guide hole. That is, the circumference of the drill body (120) comes into contact with the inner surface of the guide hole, so that the dental drill device is stably supported by the guide device.

[0055] In addition, since the upper inner edge of the guide hole is not interfered with by the rounded surface (123) by the drill body (120), the drill body (120) can rotate smoothly inside the guide hole.

[0056] Additionally, the outer surface (121) of the drill body (120) may be formed at an angle α with respect to the central axis (C1) of the drill body (120). At this time, the lower surface (131) of the stopper (130) may be formed at an angle α with respect to a plane perpendicular to the central axis (C1) of the drill body (120).

[0057] That is, the outer surface (121) of the drill body (120) and the lower surface (131) of the stopper (130) are inclined at the same angle.

[0058] Accordingly, when the drill body (120) is tilted by α with respect to the central axis of the guide hole, the drill body (120) comes into contact with the guide hole and the stopper (130) comes into contact with the edge of the guide hole, so that the dental drill device can be stably supported inside the guide hole.

[0059] In other words, when one side of the lower surface (131) of the stopper part (130) rests on the edge of the guide hole, the outer surface (121) of the drill body part (120) located at the opposite position relative to the central axis (C1) of the drill body part (120) is supported on the inner circumference of the guide hole.

[0060] In other words, when drilling with a dental drill device, the drill body and the stopper are stably supported at two points located opposite the guide hole, so accuracy can be improved during the alveolar bone removal procedure.

[0061] FIG. 6 is an example of use of a dental drill device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0062] Referring to FIG. 6, a dental drill device (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention is formed such that the outer surface (121) has a tapered shape in which the diameter decreases as it goes downward, and the stopper part (130) is inclined at the same angle as the outer surface (121), so it can be positioned at an angle (α) inclined with respect to the central axis (C2) of the guide hole. In other words, the dental drill device (100) can move from 0 degrees to a predetermined angle (α) with respect to the central axis (C2) of the guide hole.

[0063] That is, the total flow angle inside the guide hole of the dental drill device (100) can be limited to 2α with respect to the center axis (C2) of the guide hole.

[0064] FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a dental drill device tilted to one side as much as possible, as in FIG. 6A, and FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of a dental drill device tilted to the other side as much as possible, as in FIG. 6B.

[0065] Referring to FIG. 7, as the outer surface (121) and the lower surface (131) are formed at the same angle α, when the dental drill device (100) is tilted to one side by α, the drill bit (140) can cut the outer side area of ​​the guide hole (11). Here, the outer side area of ​​the guide hole (11) refers to the outer side of the virtual inner circumference (11a) that extends parallel downward from the inner circumference of the guide hole (11).

[0066] Additionally, one side of the lower surface (131) of the stopper part (130) is seated on one edge of the guide hole (11), and the outer surface (121) of the drill body part (120), which is positioned symmetrically to the lower surface (131) with respect to the central axis (C1) of the drill body part (120), is supported on the inner circumference of the guide hole. Furthermore, the drill blade part (140) can cut the outer one-sided area of ​​the guide hole (11).

[0067] Referring to FIG. 8, as the outer surface (121) and the lower surface (131) are formed at the same angle α, when the dental drill device (100) is tilted to the other side by α, the drill bit (140) can cut the other side area of ​​the guide hole (11), that is, the outer side of the virtual inner surface (11a).

[0068] Additionally, one side of the lower surface (131) of the stopper part (130) is seated on the other edge of the guide hole (11), and the outer surface (121) of the drill body part (120), which is symmetrical to the lower surface (131) with respect to the central axis (C1) of the drill body part (120), is supported on the inner circumference of the guide hole (11).

[0069] FIG. 9 is a drawing showing the procedure of an implant and an angled abutment in a tilted state using a dental drill device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0070] Referring to FIG. 9(a), a drilling hole into which an implant is inserted can be formed at an angle by a dental drill in the alveolar bone and gum. At this stage, a guide device is used to ensure that the drilling hole is drilled at a desired angle.

[0071] Referring to FIGS. 9(b) and (c), in order to insert the angled abutment (2), the alveolar bone (3) and gum (4) interfering with the protrusion (2a) of the angled abutment (2) must be removed. Since the dental drill device (100) of the present invention is capable of cutting the outer side of the virtual inner circumference (11a) of the guide device (10), the gum (4) or alveolar bone (3) interfering with the protrusion (2a) can be removed while using the guide device (10). Subsequently, the implant (1) and the angled abutment (2) are implanted into the drilling hole.

[0072] Referring to FIG. 9(d), the implant (1) and angled abutment (2) are stably positioned as the alveolar bone (3) and gums (4) naturally recover.

[0073] A dental drill device according to one embodiment of the present invention can also partially remove the outer region of a guide hole through the circumferential movement of the drill bit when it moves in a circumferential direction with respect to the central axis of the guide hole. At this time, since the dental drill device is stably supported at two points located opposite each other with respect to the central axis of the guide hole, user convenience is improved while accuracy during the alveolar bone removal procedure can be enhanced.

[0074] A dental drill device according to one embodiment of the present invention allows the drill body portion to rotate relative to the guide hole in a state inclined with respect to the central axis of the guide hole within the inner circumference of the guide hole. Accordingly, a user can intentionally remove bone in the interference area.

[0075] A dental drill device according to one embodiment of the present invention allows the drill body to move within the inner circumference of a guide hole at an angle less than or equal to a predetermined angle with respect to the central axis of the guide hole. Accordingly, the user can easily remove bone in the interference area.

[0076] The foregoing description of the present invention is for illustrative purposes only, and those skilled in the art will understand that other specific forms can be easily modified without altering the technical spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments described above should be understood as illustrative in all respects and not restrictive.
