Description

[0001] DENTAL IMPLANT AND ABUTMENT [0002]

The present invention relates to dental implants and abutments.

Implant refers to a structure that restores when a tissue is lost, but it refers to an artificial structure that allows an artificial tooth to be implanted in a dentist. In other words, a dental implant is a structure that restores the function of a tooth by replacing a missing tooth with an artificial root made of a material that does not cause a reaction to the body, after it is planted in an alveolar bone that has passed through the tooth, and then an artificial tooth is fixed.

Dental implants consist largely of artificial roots (fixtures), abutments, and artificial crowns. The artificial root is a part of the tooth that serves as the root of the tooth. The tooth is fixed to the alveolar bone from which the tooth has escaped. The abutment is a part that serves to connect the artificial crown to the artificial root and is fastened on the artificial root. It corresponds to the head of a tooth in a natural tooth as a prosthesis.

Organic matter and germs such as food residues accumulate between the implants and the gums, and inflammation of the gums around the implants occurs. As a result, the alveolar bone tissue surrounding the implants melts and the implants must be extracted.

Conventionally, methods such as scaling, antibiotic administration, oral cleaning agent, and brushing have been used to remove bacterial warts, plaques, jig and calculus which may cause such inflammatory reaction.

However, scaling and brushing methods do not remove contaminants below the gums, and methods using antibiotics and mouthwashes are neutralized by the biofilms they make to survive, making bacteria, teeth, teeth, There is a limit to the removal.
Recently, there has been studied a technique for preventing bacterial infection around the implant even after implantation of the implant into the gum by including an antimicrobial coating layer on the surface of the dental implant (for example, Patent Document 1). In the dental implant disclosed in Patent Document 1, the antimicrobial coating layer is surface-treated on the abutment surface to induce photocatalysis by visible light to prevent inflammation. However, these dental implants can not control the photocatalytic reaction automatically, which limits the prevention of bacterial infection.

12, an abutment 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention may further include a buffer layer 115 between the gum penetration part 110 and the photocatalyst layer 120.

When the buffer layer 115 is provided between the gum penetration part 110 and the photocatalyst layer 120, the gum penetration part 110 can be prevented from being lost by the photocatalytic reaction due to electromagnetic waves.

Hereinafter, effects of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 13 and 14. Fig.

FIG. 13 is a graph showing a reduction in the amount of plaque attached to the dental implant according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 14 is a graph showing the bacteria survival rate existing around the dental implant according to the embodiment of the present invention.

A is a dental implant according to an embodiment of the present invention, and B is a dental implant according to a comparative example of the present invention.

The gum penetration part of the dental implant according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a photocatalyst layer and the gum penetration part of the dental implant according to the comparative example of the present invention does not include the photocatalyst layer. That is, the photocatalyst layer is coated with titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) in the form of nanoparticles.

Referring to FIG. 13, artificial saliva having a concentration of 0.6 mg / mL of protein was flowed into the gum penetration portion of the dental implant at a rate of 110 L / min. The light intensity was 25 mW / cm 2 and the wavelength was 382 nm (UV light) was irradiated every 30 minutes for 3 minutes.

In-vitro studies were performed using acoustic sensors in a quartz-crystal microbalance (QCM).

In the dental implant (B) according to the comparative example of the present invention in which the photocatalytic layer is not coated on the gum penetration part, the amount of the dental implant attached to the dental implant does not decrease with time, The dental implant A according to an embodiment of the present invention has a reduced amount of tooth attachment of the dental implant as time elapses.

That is, the amount of tooth adhesion between the gum and the implant was measured using the dental implant according to the embodiment of the present invention, and the reduction effect of the tooth adhesion amount due to the photocatalytic reaction was confirmed.

Referring to FIG. 14, ultraviolet light (UV light) having a light intensity of 2.0 mW / cm 2 and a wavelength of 352 nm was continuously irradiated on the gum penetration portion of the dental implant, and the number of bacteria was measured over time.

In the dental implant (B) according to the comparative example of the present invention in which the photocatalyst layer is not coated on the gum penetration part, the bacteria existing around the dental implant are not greatly changed with the lapse of time, In the dental implant (A) according to an embodiment of the present invention in which the layer is coated, the bacteria present around the dental implant have remarkably decreased with the lapse of time.

That is, by measuring the bacteria between the gum and the implant using the dental implant according to the embodiment of the present invention, the reduction effect of the bacteria by the photocatalytic reaction was confirmed.

As described above, the dental implant according to an embodiment of the present invention can supply power to the power source unit 170 in a wireless charging mode in an external power source apparatus 600 existing outside the dental implant.

The light source unit 190 emits the electromagnetic wave 10 using the power supplied from the power source unit 170 and the emitted electromagnetic wave 10 is transmitted through the transparent material of the gum penetration unit 110 to be in contact with the gum 500 Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > 120 < / RTI >

The photocatalytic reaction can quickly decompose organic compounds such as bacterial communities and food residues that are fixed between the implant 1000 and the gum 500 after the implant treatment.

Therefore, when the dental implant according to the embodiment of the present invention supplies electric power to the power source unit in a wireless charging mode and initiates a photocatalytic reaction in the gum penetration unit, the implant is softened between the implant and soft tissue interface without removing the artificial crown cleaning of the implants. Thus, the user of the implant can manage the implants very conveniently without the need to visit the dentist.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. Will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art.
