Dental Implant Sleeve With Integrated Axial Direction Checking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for checking the axial direction of implants during dental surgery lack real-time accuracy and are prone to subjective deviations, leading to inefficiencies and safety risks due to uncontrollable errors in digital implant guides.
Innovation Solution
An implant sleeve with a detachable measurement component and extension arm that allows for quick and accurate axial direction checking of implants, using radial and axial measurement planes to verify the implant's position relative to the central axis.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a sleeve with fixed inner diameter and drill key with appropriate outer diameter are combined to achieve full guidance, then guidance accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases due to multiple interfaces (sleeve-guide tube, drill key-sleeve, implant drill-drill key)
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the measurement function from the complex multi-component guidance system and integrates it into a single sleeve body. The extension arm with measurement component is detached from the traditional multi-interface guidance structure (sleeve-guide tube-drill key), simplifying the system while maintaining guidance accuracy through the integrated measurement capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the guidance function and measurement function into a single integrated sleeve body. The extension arm with measurement component is combined with the sleeve body that provides guidance, eliminating the need for separate guide tubes and drill keys, thus reducing device complexity while maintaining manufacturing precision.
2Manufacturing precision
If guided implant drill with fixed guided segment height is used to match guide tube inner diameter, then guidance function is achieved, but working length is reduced and adaptability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the extension arm detachable rather than fixed. This allows the measurement component to be attached or removed based on operational needs, providing adaptability while maintaining the guidance function during actual implantation. The dynamic configuration enables both precise guidance and flexible adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the measurement component (extension arm with measurement component) from the guidance component (sleeve body with center hole). This segmentation allows the measurement component to be detached when not needed, preserving the full working length of the implant drill while providing measurement capability when required, thus improving both guidance function and adaptability.
3Ease of operation
If subjective judgment by surgeon is used to determine axial direction, then operation simplicity is maintained, but measurement precision deteriorates due to large deviation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables self-service measurement where the surgeon can independently check axial direction using the integrated measurement component without requiring additional specialized equipment or assistance. The measurement component provides objective feedback that the surgeon can use to verify axial alignment, maintaining operational simplicity while improving measurement precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the purely subjective mechanical judgment (surgeon's experiential assessment) with an objective measurement system. The measurement component with extension arm provides tangible, measurable reference points that substitute for subjective judgment, thereby improving axial direction accuracy while keeping the operation simple through direct physical measurement.
