Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for dental implants, suited for being inserted and integrated into the maxillary or mandibular bone to support an artificial tooth.
  • Dental implants are commonly used in dental prosthetics for replacing the roots of missing or lost teeth. They are devices with an opportune shape, usually an approximately cylindrical, conical or frustoconical shape, with several possible variants, which can be inserted into special holes made in the maxillary or mandibular bone. They are intended to support a prosthetic stump that is fixed to the implant (two-piece implant), or can be integral with the implant that continues into the stump (one-piece implant); the prosthetic stump, protruding from the gum into the oral cavity, provides a support for a dental crown that can be cemented or fixed by other means to the stump or directly to the implant. Implants can be non submerged or submerged, depending on whether they protrude or not from the gum immediately after their insertion. They can be two-phase implants, if they are connected to the respective stumps or other type of prosthetic support after a period of primary healing or single phase if they are inserted and connected to the respective stumps in the same phase.
  • Implants can be made of different materials, chosen according to biocompatibility and the ability of integration with the bone, to provide the prosthesis with adequate stability and duration. They are generally made of titanium, titanium alloys, ceramics or, more rarely, surgical steel.
  • the implants can be provided with a thread, normally of the self-tapping type, or pre-threaded for screwing into a hole made in the bone, or else implants are intended to be simply inserted with a certain pressure into a hole of shape and size that permits adequate fixing (press-fit technology):
  • a commonly used type of implant has a shape that can be approximately cylindrical or frustoconical, with a sectional form, perpendicular to the axis of the implant (section related to the first coronal third of the length of the implant) that is circular.
  • the coronal end also known as the implant head, has a coronal surface provided with means for connecting a prosthetic stump, for implants known as two-piece implants, or continues into the stump itself, if it is a one-piece implant.
  • the lateral surface of the implant can be suitably treated to favour osteointegration, via roughening using mechanical, chemical or other means, also in combination with each other. Grooves or protuberances can be present to better favour the primary or delayed stability of the implant in the bone.
  • a portion, or neck, of said surface close to the coronal end is normally smooth, not as rough as the rest of the said surface or, in any case, rendered suitable for soft tissue contact and growth. Said portion is, generally intended to protrude from the bone and be surrounded by gum, which covers it.
  • the implant ends with a flat surface at the coronal end, in any case with the border that delimits the implant's lateral surface from coronal surface lying on a plane (for example, it would be a flat circular line if the implant has the form of a rotational solid, and the plane on which it lies could be perpendicular or otherwise with respect to the, implant's axis of symmetry).
  • the bone margin has a similar tendency at a depth of approximately 2.5-3 mm (known as “biologic width” or “depth”).
  • the bone peak between the interproximal surfaces of two adjacent teeth is known as the interproximal bone peak(or bone papilla) and gives physical support and blood supply to the portion of gum, the so-called “interdental papilla", which covers it.
  • the presence or absence of papillae is of fundamental importance for aesthetics, especially in the mouth's frontal areas.
  • the presence and height of the bone peak between them is decisive for presence, height, health and appearance of the gingival papilla.
  • a dental implant suitable for being inserted into a hole made in a maxillary or mandibular bone along its own longitudinal axis, the implant having a coronal end, an apical end, a lateral surface that extends between said apical and coronal end, a coronal surface separated from said lateral surface by a edge, characterized in that said lateral surface has two flat portions or recesses extending along the direction of said axis and having a maximum width, along at least one plane perpendicular to said axis, of at least 1/5, and preferably at least 1/3, of the maximum width of the implant section along said plane.
  • the above-stated characteristic of the lateral surfaces can vary from a simple flattening of the lateral surface's convexity up to the creation of a proper concavity or groove.
  • Said axis can be an axis of symmetry of the implant.
  • the implant can basically have the shape of a rotational solid; in this case, the said maximum width coincides with the substantially circular diameter of the perpendicular section.
  • said flat portions or recesses are opposite each other.
  • Said flat portions or recesses can all be the same or different from each other.
  • the recesses extend for at least a fifth, more preferably for at least a fourth, and most preferably for at least a third of the maximum height, along said axis, of said lateral surface, and can even extend for more than half of said height.
  • said recesses extend starting from said edge, in correspondence with which they preferably have their maximum width.
  • the recesses extend starting from a point apically offset with respect to said edge (by 0.5 to 3 mm for example), which is not affected.
  • Said recesses can be a flat or concave portion of surface on said lateral surface, which, for the most part, can usually be a convex surface.
  • the flat portions or recesses can have a maximum width and depth corresponding to the level of the bone peak (pre-existing or to where it must be re-established) when the implant is correctly positioned.
  • the recesses concern trie portions of the implant intended to be positioned interproximally, that is facing adjacent teeth, implants or alveoli, when the implant is inserted in the bone.
  • the object of the invention is detailed in the content of the appended claims. LIST OF FIGURES

  • the lateral surface 1 extends between the apical end 3 and the coronal one 2 of the implant.
  • the edge 5 coronally delimits the lateral surface 1 and separates it from the coronal surface 6.
  • the coronal surface 6 can be equipped with means for fixing a prosthetic stump. These means can be of the known type...
  • the male element is part of the prosthetic stump.
  • the cavity extends for a certain depth and has an appropriate section, corresponding to that of the stump's male element.
  • An example is shown in the figures of a cavity having a section similar to the shape of the coronal surface 6, because the edge 5 is not circular due to the presence of the recesses 8 (in this way the section is able to provide a stable implant-stump coupling), but it could have any suitable shape, preferably polygonal, hexagonal for instance, so as to prevent rotation of the stump once fixed; the section can preferably have rounded comers (if polygonal for instance).
  • a threaded blind hole 9 can be present at the bottom of the cavity 7 to allow fixing the stump via a screw passing through a specially provided hole in the stump; a different type of fixing system could also be provided, for example, cementing of the stump, with a conical or conometric coupling.
  • a cavity there is an opportunely shaped protuberance for coupling with a cavity of corresponding shape
  • the prosthetic stump can be an integral part of the implant and its surface an integral part of the coronal surface upon which the crown could be cemented, or fixed via a screw or in any other known manner.
  • all or part of the lateral surface 1 preferably has chemical and physical surface characteristics that render it suitable for osteointegration.
  • the entire implant could be made of a material suitable for osteointegration, or it could be coated with such a material in correspondence to all or part of the lateral surface 1. Commonly employed materials are titanium or its alloys, ceramics and surgical steel.
  • the surface suited for the osteointegration can be treated to give it the correct porosity or roughness by, for example, sandblasting, acid etching plasma treatment or any other type of roughening through the addition or removal of material.

  • the lateral surface is smooth or not as rough as the rest of the surface.
  • This portion 10, or neck, close to the coronal end of the implant, is normally left smooth or rendered less rough via a special treatment, so that it is suited for contact with soft tissue and favours growth and adhesion.
  • this portion is generally intended to protrude from the bone and instead be surrounded by the gum, which covers it. It is separated from the rest of the lateral surface 1 by the line 12, which is generally, but not necessarily, at a constant distance from the edge 5, from 0.5 to 2 mm for example or, in accordance with another aspect, from 1.5 to 2 mm.
  • the line 12 can also have a smaller or null vertical distance from the edge 5.
  • the implant in accordance with the present invention has two recesses 8 that affect the lateral surface. They extend for at least 1/5 of the height of the implant, and preferably at least 1/3. They can have various shapes, for instance the margins 11 can be parallel for a section or convergent, or even widen for a section and then narrow down again.
  • the maximum width of the recess is in correspondence with or close to the line, 12 that separates the smooth neck 10 from the rest of the lateral surface.
  • the depth is. also variable, as is the shape.
  • the depth could, for instance, reach its maximum in correspondence to the maximum width of the. recess.
  • the bottom could be flat, as in Figure 2b (except for a portion, at the concave end 12, to avoid sharp internal margins) or concave, as in Figure 2a.

  • the recesses can be at least partially opposite each other with respect to the axis. They can extend starting from the edge 5, and with which their maximum width corresponds, or start from a position more towards the apical end. In general, they have a width of at least 1/5 of the maximum width of the cross-section of the implant in correspondence to the edge 5, or to the line 12. Although it is preferred that the recesses do not involve more than 2/3 of the height of surface 1, they can also extend for the entire height. Their maximum depth (with respect to. the profile of an implant without recesses) can be at least 1/16, for example, or preferably at least 1/8 of the maximum size of the cross-section of the implant at the same height.
  • the maximum depth does not exceed the value of 1.5 mm, while this value can be exceeded in the case of press-fit implants.
  • the surface affected by the recesses also has the same surface characteristics as surface 1 , namely suitable for osteointegration except for the part of recess that regards the smooth neck, if present, which can have the same characteristics suited to the adhesion of soft tissue, or could have characteristics suited to osteointegration up to the edge 5.
  • the implant can have various shapes and sections; Preferably, it is substantially a rotational solid, or at least the lateral surface is (except for the presence of the recesses, other grooves that may be present and any thread). Preferably, the implant has a substantially cylindrical, conical or frustoconical, or even a stepped shape.
  • the lateral surface can have other grooves and indentations, such as to confer better primary stability (namely of the implant just inserted in the bone), and/or delayed stability (namely after a period of osteointegration), according to the experience of a person skilled in the art (for example, the depicted implant has apical grooves 13, of any shape and with any extension considered appropriate, up to the apical end 3 for instance, which, especially in the case of a press-fit implant confers greater primary and delayed stability in all situations).
  • the implant can be of the press-fit type, which is devoid of an external thread, suitable for being introduced into a hole in the bone. In this case, the hole can be produced with a drill and then shaped via an opportunely shaped osteotome.
  • the osteotome can give the hole a shape corresponding to the implant, also taking the longitudinal grooves into account if possible (in the case of longitudinal grooves that regard the lateral surface up to the apical end or in conical or stepped implants), in which the width of the transversal sections (that is those perpendicular to the longitudinal axis) closest to the apical end with respect to the grooves do not go beyond or not completely beyond the sections including the grooves.
  • the implant can also have shapes different from a rotational solid. It can also have a cylindrical, conical, or frustoconical shape for one part and a shape different from a rotational solid for the other.
  • approximately half the height starting from the apical end can be of a cylindrical, conical or frustoconical shape, while the other half, near to the coronal end gradually assumes a not necessarily symmetrical shape, similar to that of the root of a natural tooth for example, preferably a single-root tooth.
  • the recesses can also be the same or different from each other.
  • the implant can be of the screw type and have a thread, generally of the self-tapping type, for insertion into the bone with a screwing movement, in this case into a hole with the shape of a rotational solid obtained via opportune drilling.
  • the surface 1 substantially having the shape of a rotational surface, in this case has a thread, which involves at least part of its height or all of its height (and may or may not be interrupted by the presence of grooves or recesses, depending on their depth and shape) and allows advancement of the implant along the direction of the axis 4 of symmetry.
  • the thread can be of any known type.
  • the two recesses 8 are interproximally positioned, facing towards the adjacent teeth or implants, in correspondence to where the interproximal bone peak is situated in normal conditions.
  • the presence of the recesses, in at least a third of the coronal part (that is for a third of the height of the lateral surface of the implant towards the coronal end) favours the preservation and regeneration of the interproximal bone portion, leaving more space available for its growth, even in the case of teeth or implants very close together.
  • the presence of the recesses advantageously increases the distance between the surfaces of the implants and that of adjacent implants or tooth roots (compare Figures 7 and 7a), reducing the possibility of bone resorption or bone loss between them, without however excessively reducing the dimensions (especially the diameter), and therefore the implant's resistance and stability. This holds true particularly in the presence of adjacent implants that are also equipped with flat portions or recesses . in the interproximal position in accordance with the present invention, which maximizes the conservation effect of an interproximal bone peak profile similar to the natural one and equivalent in terms of aesthetics and functionality.
  • the preservation of a larger portion of bone is also possible even if the coronal surface 6 is flat and the edge 5 consequently lies on a flat surface, without the above-discussed problems arising with regards to implants in which the profile of the edge between the coronal surface and the lateral one is scalloped (the coronal surface is shaped like a saddle, for example, or in some other manner), in order to imitate the profile of a healthy bone peak.
  • the coronal surface 6 can be flat, as illustrated in Figure 1. Nevertheless, it is possible to combine a curved profile of the edge 5 (and possibly of the entire coronal surface 6) with the presence of recesses.
  • the effects of the curved profile can be maximized and the possibilities of bone loss (or resorption) can be reduced in the interproximal positions, with loss of the physical and nutritive support of the interdental papillae a d the consequent impossibility to preserve and/or regenerate it. Otherwise, it is also possible to achieve satisfactory results with a profile that is less curved than that necessary with implants . , - ' r of the known art and which, amongst other things, facilitates the standardization of measurements, and thus the industrial production of implants.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un implant dentaire pourvu de deux évidements latéraux (8) sur la surface latérale. Ces derniers s'étendent longitudinalement sur au moins 1/3 de leur longueur, à partir de l'extrémité coronale (2) et ils sont opposés l'un à l'autre. Ils sont destinés à être situés à une position interproximale, lorsque l'implant est introduit dans l'os et ils permettent la préservation et/ou la régénération de la pointe osseuse interproximale, même en présence de racines dentaires voisines ou d'implants dentaires, avec de meilleurs résultats esthétiques et fonctionnels en comparaison avec les implants connus.
