Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current dental implant procedures face challenges in accurately fixing dental membranes over graft sites during bone graft surgeries due to difficulties in accessing the site with traditional dental drills, especially in cases where the alveolar bone is partially defective.
Innovation Solution
A fixing piece firing device with a linear rod-shaped main body, a trigger button, a hammer, and a core is designed to fire the fixing piece onto the dental membrane, allowing for quick and easy access to the oral cavity without using a traditional dental drill, featuring a curved tip part for improved access and a spring mechanism for precise operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a traditional dental drill is used to fix the fixing piece, then the fixing piece can be secured into the alveolar bone, but the device cannot access implant sites depending on the position of the site
Solution Approach 1:
The tip part of the main body is formed with a curved front end instead of a straight configuration. This curved shape allows the device to access implant sites at various positions and angles within the oral cavity, overcoming the limitation of traditional straight dental drills that cannot reach certain locations.
2Productivity
If a dental drill is used to secure the fixing piece, then the fixing can be achieved, but the procedure becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts and eliminates the need for a separate dental drill by integrating the fixation function directly into the firing device. The hammer mechanism directly secures the fixing piece into the alveolar bone through the tip part, removing the need for a separate drilling operation and simplifying the overall procedure.
Solution Approach 2:
The device combines multiple functions into a single integrated system: the main body provides structural support and access, the hammer provides the securing action, and the tip part provides both access and positioning. This merging of functions into one device reduces procedural steps and complexity compared to using separate drill and fixation tools.
3Manufacturing precision
If the fixing piece is made small for precise membrane fixation, then the fixation precision is improved, but it becomes difficult to use with a dental drill
Solution Approach 1:
The invention removes the constraint of using a dental drill entirely, allowing the small fixing piece to be used with a specialized hammer mechanism instead. This extraction of the drill requirement enables precise fixation of small pieces without the operational difficulties associated with using drills for tiny components.
