The present invention relates to a dental implant device, and more particularly, the structure is simple and robust, the prosthetic restoration is easy, can be corrected in the prosthetic restoration, improved dental implants to contribute to the stability during implant placement procedures It relates to an implant device.

Dental implant devices are divided into fixtures that are largely placed in the alveolar bone and abutments for upper prosthetic restorations, the ultimate prosthetic restoration being a dental alloy or ceramic The crown made of) is made by connecting or coupling to the upper part of the rent column or surrounding the rent column.

The most important conditions for the clinical efficacy of dental implants include the stability of implant fixation in the alveolar bone, the firm connection between the implant and the abutment, and the easy restorability using the abutment. Can be.

The most widely used implant system at present is an external connection structure in which the connection between the implant and the abutment is present on the outside of the fixture. An implant system of this external connection structure is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

1 and 2, the abutment 5 surrounds the implant top and an abutment screw 6 penetrates the abutment 5 so that the abutment 4 is secured. It consists of a structure that is tightened to the inside, the outer hex member (external hex member) consisting of a hex (hex) on the top of the (implant top) to prevent rotation (rotation) of the abutment (5) ( 4a) is provided.

And the prevention of rotation of the abutment (5) is a very important condition in the prosthetic restoration of the implant, a structure that is also very important in terms of holding the thread implant in the same direction as the thread holding the screw implant in the device or instrument during implantation of the alveolar bone of the implant to be.

By the way, the external connection structure as described above has the advantage that a variety of prosthetic restoration is possible, but there is a disadvantage that the connection of the fixture 4 and the abutment (5) can be loosened or released because it can not withstand the occlusal force in the long term use.

1 and 2, which is an internal connection structure in which the abutment is tightened into the fixture, which is called an internal connection structure because the connection portion between the fixture and the abutment is present inside the fixture. .

This internal connection structure is roughly divided into an internal friction structure as shown in FIG. 3 and an internal hex structure as shown in FIG. 4 depending on the shape of the connection portion.

In more detail, first, the internal friction structure as shown in FIG. 3 has a conical abutment 11 itself acting as a screw, and thus the abutment into the fixture 12. It is the connection system which tightens by frictional force by rotation of (11). This is due to the cold welding action between the abutment 11 and the fixture 12 in view of the fact that the fixture 12 and the abutment 11 are made of titanium, which is a metal having excellent ductility and malleability. You can expect an effect that will continue to tighten up to a certain threshold.

Therefore, there is an advantage of overcoming the disadvantages of the external connection structure of FIGS. 1 and 2 described above in that the connection between the abutment 11 and the fixture 12 is not released even in the case of excessive bite force.

However, due to the nature of dental prosthetic restoration, the impression is obtained in the oral cavity to obtain the same model as the oral cavity, and the final prosthesis is produced through the pore process. In an internal friction structure without an angle such as), there is a possibility that an error may occur due to excessive abutment 11 rotation. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to produce the correct prosthesis due to errors in the oral cavity and the outside.

And the internal hex structure as shown in FIG. 4 is similar to the aforementioned internal friction structure in such a way that the abutment 22 is connected to the inside of the fixture 21, but the abutment of the abutment 22 is connected. The shape of the site is very different in that it is a hexagonal column rather than a conical shape and is tightened with a screw 23.

This is because there is no error due to the difference in the tightening force between the dentist and the technician in the dental prosthetic restoration, and because of the ease of the correct prosthetic restoration, the above-mentioned advantages of the internal friction structure of FIG. Compared to the external connection structure of 2, the abutment 22 is advantageous in that it is less released from the fixture 21.

However, in addition to the disadvantage that the tightening force of the connection portion of the abutment 22 and the fixture 21 is weaker than the internal friction structure, as shown in Figure 4, the fixed structure in the coupling structure of the abutment 22 and the fixture 21 As the groove is formed on the upper portion of 21, there is a problem that the upper portion thereof becomes thinner and structurally weak.

The present invention has been created to solve the above problems, by changing the structure of the abutment and the fixed body is excellent bonding force between them, prevent structural defects from occurring, and prevent the occurrence of errors in the oral cavity, accurate It is an object of the present invention to provide a dental implant device for making the prosthesis.

Dental implant device of the present invention for achieving the above object, the fixing body is formed on the outer circumferential surface to be inserted into the alveolar bone and fastened, the abutment coupled to the upper portion of the fixing body to fix the artificial teeth, and the high In the dental implant device provided with a screw for fastening the fixture and the abutment so that the stagnation and the abutment, the abutment, the coupling portion is coupled to the upper portion of the fixture, and extended to the coupling portion And a fixing part is formed to fix the artificial tooth, and the fixing body has an insertion groove formed in a length direction thereof so as to be coupled to the coupling part, wherein the outer circumferential surface of the coupling part and the insertion groove are lowered from the top to the bottom. Formed with reduced dimensions, the longitudinal section of which consists of a conical trapezoidal shape and at least Comprises a polygonal surface is formed at least one cutting face,
In addition, the polygonal surface is characterized in that consisting of a hexagonal surface.

Referring to the drawings, the dental implant device according to the present invention is configured to include a fixture 30, abutment 40 and a screw 50.

5 and 6, the thread 31 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the fixture 30 to be inserted into the alveolar bone, and the screw groove 32 is fastened to an inner lower portion thereof. ) Is formed, and an insertion groove 33 into which the engaging portion 41 of the abutment 40, which will be described later, is inserted into the upper portion of the screw groove 32 is formed.

5 and 7, the abutment 40 is coupled to the upper body of the fixing body 30 to fix the artificial tooth, and the upper portion of the fixing body 30 as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7. The coupling portion 41 is inserted into and coupled to the formed insertion groove 33, and the fixing portion 42 is formed to extend to the upper coupling portion 41 so that the artificial teeth are fixed, wherein the coupling portion ( The outer circumferential surface of 41) is formed of a polygonal surface cut to form a plurality of surfaces of the outer circumferential surface formed of a cylindrical member.

In addition, the insertion groove 33 of the fixing body 30 is inserted into the coupling portion 41 of the abutment 40 is also formed in the same polygonal surface to be coupled to the polygonal surface of the coupling portion 41.

In this way, each of the polygonal surfaces formed in the coupling portion 41 of the abutment 40 and the insertion groove 33 of the fixture 30 is formed of six hexagonal surfaces cut into six surfaces. And the coupling part 41 and the insertion groove 33 made of a hexagonal surface is made of a conical shape of the upper dimension (thickness or width) and the lower dimension.

Such a conical shape is formed with a reduced dimension as it goes from top to bottom so that its longitudinal section is in inverted trapezoidal shape.

And the outer peripheral surface of the fixing portion 42 of the upper portion of the abutment 40 is formed with a cutting portion 43 formed by cutting a portion of the cylindrical to prevent rotation when the artificial teeth are coupled. In addition, as shown in Figure 7, the interior of the abutment 40 is formed in a hollow, the through hole 41a of the coupling portion 41 is formed so that the screw 50 is inserted through the fixing portion ( The through hole 42a of the 42 is formed to insert and fix an artificial tooth.

In addition, the screw 50, as shown in Figure 8, to fix the fixture 30 and the abutment 40 is coupled.

Referring to the operation of the dental implant device according to the invention having the configuration as described above are as follows.

Referring back to the drawings, the dental implant device according to the present invention is a combination of the conventional internal friction structure and the internal hexagonal structure described above to take only the advantages of each of the invention is configured.

This will be described in more detail.

First, when explaining the form of the connection portion of the abutment 40, by forming the engaging portion 41 in the bilateral polygonal surface of the hexagonal cone to the specific limit in the insertion groove 33 of the fixed body 30 It can be tightened into, and the hexagonal cone allows the dentist and the technician to grasp and set the positional relationship between the fixture 30 and the abutment 40 at the same position.

And the fixture 30, like the abutment 40, forms an insertion groove 33 in the negative polygonal surface of the hexagonal cone so that the abutment 40 can be continuously tightened to a certain limit in the fixture 30. In addition, the hexagonal cone allows the dentist and the technician to grasp and set the positional relationship between the fixture 30 and the abutment 40 at the same position.

In addition, the shape of the screw 50 also penetrates the through hole of the abutment 40 so as to have a structure that is screwed into the screw groove of the fixed body 30.

As described above, since the dental implant device according to the present invention is connected in the form of a hexagonal cone of the fixture 30 and the abutment 40, the coupling is firmly prevented from loosening of the screw 50.

And the insertion groove 33 of the fixing body 30 and the coupling portion 41 of the abutment 40 is formed of a hexagonal cone to limit their connection (coupling) relationship, which may occur when tightening with different forces The error due to excessive rotation can be minimized.

Therefore, in order to facilitate accurate prosthetic restoration, it is possible to compensate for the fatal disadvantage of the internal friction structure in which a separate device or apparatus must be manufactured with a long time effort. This advantage is particularly useful in complex implant prosthetic restorations with multiple implants.

Also, when the alveolar bone is finished and the fixture 30 is placed in a solid alveolar bone with a slow rotational force, various complicated apparatuses and mechanisms for holding an implant to withstand the torque are conventionally used, for example, A fixture mount was needed.

However, in the present invention, due to the simple yet rigid structure of the hexagonal cone of the fixture 30 and the abutment 40 can effectively hold the fixture 30 and withstand the rotational force, during the implantation operation of the fixture 30 Stability can be attained.

As described above, the dental implant device according to the present invention has the following effects.

Since the connection between the fixture and the abutment is made of hexagonal conical coupling, the connection is firmer than the conventional external connection structure and internal hexagonal structure, thereby preventing loosening of screws, which is a disadvantage of the conventional external connection structure and internal hexagonal structure. .

And because it is coupled to the hexagonal cone structure as described above, it is possible to minimize the error due to excessive rotation that may occur when tightening them with different forces, excellent repeatability to the same position can be accurate in dental implant prosthetic restoration.

Therefore, in order to facilitate accurate prosthetic restoration, it is possible to overcome the fatal shortcomings of the internal friction structure in which a separate device or apparatus must be manufactured with a long time effort, and is particularly useful in a complex implant prosthetic restoration using multiple implants.

In addition, the conventional fixed structure of the internal hexagonal structure has a disadvantage in that the fixing top (thinning the top of the manufacturing fixture) in the weakness can be vulnerable to fracture and deformation due to the decrease in rigidity, the fixing of the hexagonal cone of the present invention is the top branch It is made of a divergent shape and can overcome the problems of the conventional internal hexagonal structure, so that the upper part of the fixture is solid.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to one embodiment shown in the drawings, this is merely exemplary, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and equivalent embodiments are possible. Therefore, the true scope of protection of the present invention should be defined only by the appended claims.
