Description

Package for dental implants {package for dental implant}

The present invention relates to a packaging container for a dental implant, and more particularly, to a packaging package for a dental implant that is irradiated with ultraviolet light to modify the surface of the fixture to hydrophilic, but the modified surface state is maintained for a long time.

In general, an implant means a substitute that can replace human tissue when the original human tissue is lost, and in dentistry, a fix such as titanium having a low rejection response to the human body to replace the root of the missing tooth. It refers to a chew (artificial root), the crown coupled to the artificial root implanted in the alveolar bone to form a mastication surface, the procedure can be performed to restore the original function of the tooth using the implant.

Here, the implant, such as the fixture is stored in a sealed package after the antimicrobial treatment to prevent infection of internal tissues, such as alveolar bone due to contamination by foreign matter or bacteria during implantation.

In addition, most fixtures are currently treated to have hydrophilic surfaces through processes such as RBM, SLA, and the like. In this case, when the surface of the fixture is exposed to air after the process, the oxide layer is increased over time, and the surface energy is stabilized by a pollutant such as a hydrocarbon compound to change to hydrophobicity. Accordingly, there is a problem that the recovery period until the implant is stabilized increases as the hydrophilicity of the body fluid and blood decreases and the osteofusion period increases.

Moreover, some products have been released that include storage containers to ensure that the hydrophilicity of surface modified fixtures is maintained for a long time. However, the fixture including such a storage container is expensive and there is a problem that comes with a financial burden on the consumer. In addition, since there is a need to use a specific company's products, there was a problem that the choice of consumers is very narrow even though it is expensive.

In order to solve this problem, recently, a surface treatment ultraviolet irradiation device capable of removing organic contaminants attached to the surface while modifying the surface of the fixture by irradiating ultraviolet rays after mounting the fixture therein has been disclosed.

However, the above-described conventional ultraviolet irradiation device for surface treatment should proceed with sterilization before proceeding with the surface modification of the fixture, in which the projection is colored. For this reason, there was a problem that the ultraviolet ray for the surface modification treatment is not irradiated smoothly through the projection unit.

On the other hand, in the surface modification process, when ultraviolet rays are irradiated to the container in which the fixture is packaged, oxygen remaining in the container is converted into ozone. The surface of the fixture is converted from hydrophobic to hydrophilic as carbon atoms deposited on the surface of the fixture are combined with and separated from the ozone.

However, since the conventional packaging container is hermetically sealed inside, the amount of oxygen remaining as necessary for the process of surface modification by irradiating the fixture with ultraviolet rays was not converted into ozone. As a result, the surface modification force is lowered, there was a problem that the bone fusion is not made stable.

In addition, the conventional packaging container has a problem that the surface modification does not proceed to the lower end of the fixture because the portion fixing the fixture when the ultraviolet light is concealed.

As shown in Figures 1 to 5, the dental implant packaging container 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is a projection body portion 10, the first stopper 20, and the second stopper 30 It includes.

Here, the projection body 10 may be provided in various forms such as a cylinder, a polygonal pillar, and the first plug portion 20 and the second plug portion 30 may be detachably connected to both ends. In addition, one side of the circumference from the circular cross section may be provided to have a droplet-shaped cross section protruding radially outward from the circular cross section so as to prevent loss and drop damage due to a user's mistake.

In addition, the first edge 11a of which one end surface of the first plug portion 20 is in contact with the other end surface of the second plug portion 30 is in contact with both longitudinal edges of the projection body portion 10. It is preferable that the second border 11b is formed.

On the other hand, the interior of the projection body 10 is formed with a receiving space 14 is accommodated for the dental implant fixture (f) of the primary surface modification and sterilization treatment. At this time, the storage space 14 is formed to penetrate in the vertical direction of the projection body 10, and exceeds the maximum outer diameter of the fixture (f) to enable the smooth storage and withdrawal of the fixture (f) It is preferably formed to have an inner diameter and exceed the length of the fixture f.

On the other hand, the fixture (f) is formed on the outer surface of the screw portion (s) to be implanted in the alveolar bone of the subject, a fastening hole is coupled to the upper implant abutment. And, the crown of the tooth shape may be coupled to the upper portion of the abutment.

In this case, the fixture (f) may be formed of a metal such as titanium having a high strength and excellent corrosion resistance and biocompatible. In addition, the fixture (f) is the first surface modification treatment so that the outer surface and the screw portion (s) has a hydrophilicity to the body fluid or blood, and after the first sterilization treatment to prevent infection during implantation space (14) Can be accommodated in

For example, the fixture f may be surface-treated with a resorbable blasting media (RBM) in which a biocompatible medium such as aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, calcium phosphate, or the like is sprayed to form roughness on the surface thereof. In addition, after the RBM surface treatment, the primary surface modification may be performed through SLA (sandblasted, large-grit, acid-etched) surface treatment, which performs chemical etching using an acid solution or the like. The fixture f may be first sterilized by exposure to a cleaning solution, ultraviolet light, plasma, ozone, or the like.

Accordingly, side effects such as infection and inflammation may be minimized when the fixture (f) is placed, and stable osteolysis of the implanted f may be possible.

On the other hand, as the projection body 10 is made of a quartz material having a lower extinction coefficient than a glass or projection synthetic resin container generally used, the ultraviolet transmittance can be significantly increased, the sterilizing power of ultraviolet rays can be preserved have.

In detail, ultraviolet rays are irradiated to penetrate the projection body 10, and substantially penetrate into the receiving space 14 so that surface modification and sterilization cleaning performance can be significantly improved. Accordingly, the ultraviolet rays emitted from the surface treatment ultraviolet irradiation device may be transmitted through the accommodation space 14 to be irradiated onto the surface of the fixture f.

In addition, the conventional UV treatment apparatus for surface treatment should proceed with sterilization before surface modification of the fixture (f), in which the projection is colored. For this reason, there is a fear that ultraviolet rays for surface modification treatment may not be irradiated to the fixture f smoothly through the projection part.

Here, since the material of the projection body 10 is made of a quartz material having a low absorption coefficient, it is possible to prevent coloring of the projection part, and ultraviolet light for surface modification treatment is smoothly through the projection part f. Can be investigated.

On the other hand, oxygen molecules present in the interior of the accommodation space 14 in which the fixture f is packaged may be converted into ozone, which is a reactive generator, while the outer electrons are excited by an energy impact exceeding binding energy. have. Through this, as the carbon atoms deposited on the surface of the fixture f are combined with the ozone to separate, the surface of the fixture f may be converted from hydrophobic in a low energy state to hydrophilic in a high energy state.

In this case, the conventional packaging container may be unable to be converted into ozone due to insufficient oxygen remaining amount necessary for the process of surface modification by irradiating the fixture f with ultraviolet rays because the inside is sealed and packaged. For this reason, there exists a possibility that surface modification force may fall and osteolysis may not be made stable.

In order to solve this problem, the first passage passages 22b, 22c, 22d, and 22e formed by a plurality of through holes communicating with the first fixing part 21 and penetrating along the longitudinal direction of the first plug portion 20 are provided. It is preferable to form each.

Is supplied to the storage space 14 and can be converted into ozone, so that the amount of ozone remaining increases significantly. Therefore, the surface modification power through ultraviolet rays can be improved, and erosion and expansion of the treatment site caused by not fixing the peripheral portion of the fixture f with hydrophilicity can be prevented in advance. Accordingly, there may be an effect that the fusion is stable.

In addition, the through holes of the first through passages 22b, 22c, 22d, and 22e may be formed in various shapes and sizes, such as a circle and a quadrangle, and each size may be uniformly formed.

Can be converted into ozone, which significantly increases the ozone residue. Therefore, surface modification power through ultraviolet rays may be improved, and thus, bone fusion may be stable.

In addition, the through holes of the second through passages 32d and 32e may be formed in various shapes and sizes, such as a circle and a quadrangle, and each size may be uniformly formed.

Meanwhile, the second fixing part 32 may be formed to maximize the surface area of the outer circumference of the second fixing part 32 so as to maximize the amount of oxygen in the storage space 14. In the present embodiment, a plurality of grooves are formed in the longitudinal direction of the second fixing part 32 to increase and the surface area is illustrated and described as an example.

In addition, the second fixing part 32 may have a first support step 24 formed radially outward at an upper end of the outer circumference thereof, and may be coupled to the other end of the projection body part 10.

In this mounting process, the operator presses the fixture f in an interference fit process to fasten the fastening portion of the surgical tool to the inner circumferential fastening groove of the fixture f.

In this case, when the fixture f is separated into the storage space 14, the surface of the fixture f may be contaminated with bacteria or adhere to foreign matter. At this time, the operator may need to perform the first surface modification treatment and the first sterilization treatment of the fixture f in order to prevent infection of the patient in which the fixture f is to be placed.

In addition, since all procedures such as the first sterilization treatment and the second surface modification treatment need to be carried out by the operator again, the work efficiency may be deteriorated due to the time required.

Accordingly, each of the corner portions 31e may be supported by being in contact with the outer circumference of the fixture f, and a seating groove in which the lower end of the fixture f is seated at the center of the upper surface of the support part 31. 31b can be formed.
