Patent Application
20180168779
This invention is a new single piece dental prosthetic,
a root section connected to the decorative crown section, becoming one part,
with a bifurcated root for better anchoring and cleaning action,
characterized by:
The present invention is a reliable system with several fastening systems.
It is also a new way to make an implant less costly,
and therefore more affordable by poor person of low income status.
This is done by simplifying the above mentioned procedures,
and using new method's such as bifurcation and circular ridge fastening.
The previous available prosthetic systems are characterized by a two part system,
with a foundation part generally inserted by a screw-type force into the bone or tissue.
This operation is mostly performed by an oral surgeon, a complex and expensive procedure. After the procedure a substantial time period of healing is required, involving normally the patient's re-visit. The secondary operation, of a prosthetic system, is to attach a decorative tooth part, again generally done by a screw-type force,
by an additional Doctor or Dentist. Again keeping in mind the substantial time spent by both these professionals, and the very expensive components used,
making the present Dental Implant system so expensive
that it is out of reach for the average person, and is only available to the very rich.
Both of these procedures also involves the patient's extended time
and loss of work hours, as well as pain.
The present invention is basically a way to make an implant less costly,
and therefore affordable by poor persons of low income status.
This is done by simplifying the above mentioned procedures. If the patient is needing a prosthetic in the areas that are not visible, such as molars, hidden or back teeth
the simplest way of doing an implant is this inventions “one piece implant”.
It is constructed of a suitable material with a basic shape as a
one piece tapered root part below the gum line
continuing into a crown part visible above the gum line.
It can be made from a solid metal part. If the dental prosthetic root section is bifurcated into two bendable legs the legs can be adjusted into dual roots, making it possible
to push into, and be used on a dual root system which are exposed by an extraction. Similarly, the two bendable legs can be bent into a bow leg, pushed into a single root system, giving the prosthetic a hollow that provides for tissue and bone a place to grow into,
and for anchoring the prosthetic. If necessary to enlarge the cavity
a trephine tool can be used.
Another possibility is to adjust the length of the two bendable bifurcated legs
by snipping of the legs, to the case specific required length, using commonly available tools. These kind of tools is available both in a machinist tool company,
as well as in a dental supply house. If necessary, filing or buffing removes the burrs.
The least expensive way to make the dental prosthetic is by ordering them from
a Screw Machine Company which automatically turn and cut the length
by mass production. A bifurcated operation can also be done inexpensively.
If so ordered, in titanium or stainless steel material,
the cost of each prosthetic is less than $1.00.
This invention also includes a similar structure but in a dual part configuration,
where the root section has a threaded center section suitable for insertion of
a decorative crown section. This version is suitable for visible teeth. The crown section
is screwed into a threaded portion and secured.
This dual part configuration does not preclude a bifurcated Design.
With the simplification described here, it makes it possible to complete the prosthetic
and follow-up procedures in one sitting. This again makes the present invention
much more affordable for persons with limited means.
One way to retain the dental prosthetic firmly in its position, is to have a circular
female indentation towards to the top of the prosthetic, with a corresponding
circular female indentation in the cavity that will receive it. These two indentations can be filled with the appropriate type of adhesive such as UV curable or other resins.
This surgically created cavity can be done with a trephine tool 41 or other bore.
To locate where the cavity is to be placed, it is very helpful to drill a guide hole 42.
To effectively center the trephine tool 41 in this guide hole, a center post 43 in the tool have been found to provide excellent placement and very good qualities of cavities.
can be extended into a bifurcated opening 80 which is the root sections bifurcation.
The tapered sides of the root 55 is continuing into a decorative section 56
combining the two parts into one, making it a single part prosthetic.
The decorative section, which is also the crown part 56, is visible above the gum line 57.
where the two parts would be combined. The decorative portion 56
can be of the same material, or with another suitable material as stated in the Claims.
right after that it has been placed.
It is to have a circular female indentation 82 made towards to the top of the prosthetic,
with a corresponding circular female indentation 83 in the cavity 81 that will receive it.
The cavity 81 can be an extraction cavity, or trephine tool cavity.
The two indentations 82 and 83 can be filled with the appropriate type of adhesive 84,
such as UV curable or other resins. Both the UV type and other adhesives like
cyano-acrylate are almost instant setting.
The circular female indentation in the 83 cavity is accomplished
with a circular (spherical) dental burr.
A logical combination of the above figures,
would make additional prosthetic forms and attachments.
