TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The proposed invention relates to a dental implant and other parts associated to it, that enable the fitting or installing of one or more dental prosthesis or artificial teeth in the alveolar bone of a patient.
PRIOR ART
As is well known in the prior art, dental implants are generally threaded parts and it has a circular section shape of the implants to which, following a process of osseointegration or bone integration of the implant in said alveolar bone, A dental prosthesis with one or more artificial teeth is affixed. To achieve this, a series of associated parts are needed. These associated parts enable the insertion of the implant into the alveolar bone, the fixing of the dental prosthesis, and other actions. The diameters of the conventional implants are between 3.3 and 6 mm, which don't make the big size acceptable in special cases when the alveolar crest is thin.
The previous narrow and permanent implants have a diameter of about 3 mm, whereas the implant (1I) according to the proposed invention presents a section of the body with two dimensions: thickness and width. Although it has a narrow thickness of 2 mm, the space of its cross-section of the body is bigger than the space of the cross-section of the threaded body of the previous implants that has a diameter of 3 mm.
The implant (1) is designed to be used in narrow areas at the jawbone and in the restricted narrow places between the Mandibular nerve and the lateral cortical plate by the non-protuberant beveled surfaces with a narrow thickness and smooth surfaces that leads to achieve safe inserting.
The implant (1) has characteristics that enable it to be inserted in the narrowest bone which needs to be widened, after clipping the alveolar crest and separate the halves of the alveolar bone which lead to easy thin inserting between the halves.
Dental implants and associated parts have certain characteristics that prevent them from being used satisfactory in certain treatment and rehabilitation applications and strategies. Specifically, in certain applications, some example of which will be given below, implants have been shown to be essentially too thick. In other words, their external diameters are too large for the requirements of the application.
A first application, it was common if there was a thin alveolar bone, we resort to use a grafts bone with its cost and complex surgery besides having to wait. The implant (1) with its reduced thickness and streamlined design is inserted in the cleaved bone which achieves enlargement of the bone and installation of the implant at the same time.
A second application, There is a problem which is the narrow alveolus in lingual and buccal direction, and the need of narrow strong implant too.
A third application, in the classic implants the smallest diameter is approx. of 3 mm, which is big for replacement in some lower incisors and especially when the replacement is for an old single lost tooth, which makes the place very narrow in distal and mesial direction.
A fourth application, after some orthodontic works, where they cause a narrow alveolar crest bone between two dental roots which have been moved away one from the other by orthodontic. This implant is perfect to be inserted in this narrow crest bone, during bone augmentation. Said implant slides down with its mini thickness and both beveled surfaces and its most thin curved apex to separate bone's two sides and achieve implantation at the same time.
A fifth application, it also allows putting two implants for replacing the upper or the lower molar. Then we put the first implant in the place of mesial root and the other one in the place of distal root.
A simple calculation on the mechanical drawing “Solid Work” program shows:
The space of the external connecting surface of the body of the threaded implant with a diameter of 3 mm and a length of 8 mm is 90.04 mm2, whereas the space of the external connecting surface of the body of the implant (1II) is 80.81 mm2 although it has a thickness that equals approx. the half diameter of the threaded implant which has a diameter of 3 mm and the space of the external connecting surface of the body of the implant (1I) is 114.76 mm2. That refers to the stability of the implant (1) inside the jawbone even though its narrow thickness.
SUMMARY
In order to achieve the aforementioned objectives, the invention defines an oval section dental implant.
Similarly to conventional implants, the dental implant according to the invention comprises a head, a threaded body and an apical end or an apex. The implant is solid and comprises a blind threaded hole for the connection of a screw.
The dental implant according to the proposed invention is categorized as “narrow” because one of its essential innovative characteristic is that it presents a reduced thickness or dimensions in comparison with prior art implants. This innovative characteristic is accompanied by other additional changes in the design of the implant, so that the reduction of the thickness of the implant does not reduce the implant's robustness, preloading capability, ability to prevent the appearance of breakage points, and other necessary qualities.
The dental implant comprises a head, body and an apex.
The head (2) of the implant (1) has a male conical shape with a height of 4 mm and a diameter of between 2.5 and 2.7 mm and with a degree of 1.5° slop, which achieves the strongest connection according to Mechanics without the need to the assistance of polygonal shape and by that it prevents the rotation of the associated parts above it. Said head (2) has a blind threaded hole (11) which has a depth of between 3-3.5 mm and comprises a total of between 7-9 turns of thread, said thread presenting an internal diameter (d3) of between 1.6 and 1.7 mm and an external diameter (d4) of between 1.9 and 2 mm. which means that the bind threaded hole (11) is completely included in the head (2) and that allows making the maximum thickness of 2 mm of the body (3) of the implant (1) near the head. The retention screw (46) with a diameter of 2 mm which is used with said head achieves with its relatively large diameter a high tensile strength and increases of fixing the associated parts and prevents it of rotating. In the lower part of the head there are two curved surfaces (9) which extend from the two beveled surfaces of the body to the external surface of the head with a height (h3) of 0.5 mm as it will be mentioned in FIG. 2. The functional part of the head is 3.5 mm from the upper face to the top of two curved surface. These characterizes achieve a strong and various connection positions with an associated parts of the implant (1) that enable the fitting or installing of one or more dental prosthesis or artificial teeth in the alveolar bone.
The body of the implant has two sizes:
The body (3) of the implant (1I) comprises of a central conical part (10) which beveled from both sides and hold protuberances (6) in the other both sides that are inclined down and has a semi-circle end. Said protuberance has a height of thickness (h20) of 0.4 mm. between these protuberances there are spaces (7) with a height (h21) of 0.5 mm. The external surface of the body begins from the side of head with an external maximum width (w1) of 4.25 mm and ends near the apex with an external minimum width (w2) of 3.5 mm. it also has an internal maximum width (w3) of 2.25 mm near the head and an internal minimum width (w4) of 1.5 mm near the apex. All these said sizes in the body are applied on the all heights (h4) of 8, 10, 12 and 14 mm. FIG. 1 also shows the beveled surface (10) between left and right protuberances of the body (3). The apex (4) of the implant has a curved surface.
The body (3) of the implant (1II) comprises of a central conical part (10) which beveled from the both sides and hold protuberances (6) in the other both sides, which are inclined down and has a semi-circle end. Said protuberance has a height of thickness (h20) of 0.4 mm. between these protuberances there are spaces (7) with a height (h21) of 0.5 mm. The external surface of the body begins from the side of the head with an external maximum width (w5) of 3 mm and ends near the apex with an external minimum width (w6) of 2.3 mm. it also has an internal maximum width (w7) of 2.1 mm near the head and an internal minimum width (w8) of 1.4 mm near the apex. All these said sizes in the body are applied on the all heights (h4) of 8, 10, 12 and 14 mm. FIG. 3 also shows the beveled surface (10) between left and right protuberances of the body (3). The apex (4) of the implant has a curved surface.
The length of the implant (1I and 1II) means the length of the body at the bottom of the curved surface of the head and extends to the apex. Of course, the invention does not discard using other lengths not comprised in this preferred rang.
