Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional trephine drills face challenges in precisely controlling the perforation depth of alveolar bone and efficiently removing the generated bone piece during the implantation process, requiring additional tools for bone piece removal.

Innovation Solution

A trephine drill design featuring a perforating body with a movable perforating rod and fastening unit, allowing for adjustable perforation depth and easy removal of bone pieces through a discharge hole or catching unit, enabling precise perforation and tool-free bone piece extraction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a conventional trephine drill is used to perforate the alveolar bone, then the bone perforation can be performed, but the perforation depth cannot be precisely controlled and bone pieces remain trapped inside the drill

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperforation depth controlVSAvoidbone piece removal
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The drill rod is nested inside the perforating body, allowing it to move reciprocally within the hollow cylindrical space. This nested configuration enables the drill rod to push bone pieces out through the discharge hole while maintaining precise depth control through its movable positioning relative to the perforating body.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The drill rod is designed to move dynamically between extended and retracted positions relative to the perforating body. When extended, it facilitates bone piece removal; when retracted, it enables precise depth control during perforation. This dynamic movement resolves the contradiction between depth precision and bone piece ejection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If the drill rod is made movable to enable bone piece removal, then bone pieces can be easily ejected, but the structural complexity of the drill increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebone piece removalVSAvoiddrill structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The drill is segmented into two main components: the perforating body (hollow cylindrical structure) and the drill rod (separate movable element). This segmentation allows the drill rod to be independently moved for bone piece removal while keeping the overall structure relatively simple and modular.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The movable drill rod serves a dual function: it performs the perforation action and simultaneously serves as a tool to push bone pieces out through the discharge hole. This self-service capability eliminates the need for separate bone removal tools, reducing operational complexity despite the added mechanical movement capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If a through hole is provided in the perforating body for bone piece discharge, then bone pieces can be removed easily, but the structural integrity of the perforating body is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebone piece dischargeVSAvoidperforating body integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The discharge hole is provided locally in the lateral wall of the perforating body at a specific position, rather than creating multiple holes or compromising the overall structure. This localized opening maintains the structural integrity of the perforating body while providing sufficient passage for bone piece removal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Disclosed is a trephine drill for an implant. The trephine drill for the implant includes: a perforating body which comprises a first end part provided with a cutter for perforating the alveolar bone and a second end part formed with a through hole; and a rod body which couples with the perforating body to move close to and apart from the first end part of the perforating body toward the through hole of the perforating body and adjusts a perforation depth when perforating the alveolar bone. With this, not only an alveolar bone is precisely perforated at a preset depth, but also an alveolar bone piece, generated when perforating the alveolar bone, is easily removed from inside of a perforating body.
