The embodiments of the present invention are provided to more completely explain the present invention to those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains.

1 is a view showing the configuration of a guide design apparatus for implant surgery according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The guide design device for implant surgery (hereinafter, referred to as a 'guide design device') 1 is an electronic device capable of executing a medical image processing program. Electronic devices include computers, notebook computers, laptop computers, tablet PCs, smart phones, mobile phones, personal media players (PMPs), personal digital assistants (PDAs), and the like. Medical image processing programs include guide design programs, scan programs, and CAD programs. In addition, it can be applied to programs for general medical image processing other than for dental implant surgery. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, a guide design program for dental implant surgery will be described as an example, but if image processing is possible, it is of course applicable to other programs as well.

Although the image processing process using the program differs for each commercialized product, in general, surgical patient registration, CT data and scan data acquisition of registered patients, CT data and scan data registration, arch line creation from the registered image data, and arch line It consists of a process including creation of a panoramic image using .

The present invention corresponds to the step of automatically designing the guide area in the above process. In particular, an object of the present invention is to minimize the time required for user manipulation and guide design by automatically determining a guide area to include a patient's anatomical structure and a drilling hole according to various surgical cases.

Guide design apparatus 1 according to an embodiment differently designs the guide area according to various surgical cases and direction of the tooth area. Surgical cases can be broadly classified into maxilla and mandible, and can be classified as partially edentulous or completely edentulous according to the location and number of fixture implanted teeth. The direction of the tooth area can be classified into lingual, buccal, mesial, and distal directions.

The guide design device 1 measures the height of the guide area in the buccal direction, the height of the guide area in the lingual direction, and the length of the guide area in the mesial and distal directions based on the fixture implanted teeth, such as the surgical case and the tooth area. The guide area is designed by applying different standards depending on the direction.

For example, if the operation case is the maxilla, the guide area in the lingual direction is automatically designed to include at least a part of the palatal area in order to increase the guide binding force. As another example, if the operation case is the mandible, the guide area in the lingual direction automatically designs the height of the guide area based on the preset area of each individual tooth. The height of the guide area in the buccal direction can be automatically determined based on the preset area or the maximum ridge position of each individual tooth. For determining the height of the guide area based on the preset area, for example, the height of the guide area is set based on the preset area so that the implant area is not included in the guide area. The embrasure area is the space between the teeth and the V area between the contact point and the gingival ridge.

The preset area may be an area from a height of 1/2 to 2/3 of a tooth for each individual tooth, and a user can set a predetermined value within the range.

The guide design apparatus 1 may determine the length of the guide region in the mesial and distal directions differently according to partially edentulous or completely edentulous cases classified according to the position and number of fixture-placed teeth. For example, the guide length is automatically determined to include at least two adjacent teeth on both sides based on the fixture placement teeth. The preset area and the number of adjacent teeth can be set by the user.

Furthermore, when the guide area generated through automatic determination does not include both the drilling hole and the anchor pin, automatic correction of arbitrarily expanding the guide area is performed, and user manipulation can be minimized as it is corrected in software.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the guide design device 1 having the above-described characteristics will be described in detail later.

* Referring to FIG. 1 , the guide design device 1 includes a data acquisition unit 10 , a storage unit 12 , a control unit 14 , an input unit 16 , and an output unit 18 .

The data acquisition unit 10 acquires basic image data of the patient. The basic image data includes X-ray data, CT data, and scan data. The data acquisition unit 10 may acquire basic image data by executing a program or loading data stored in a web page and a server. For implant placement, CT data, scan data, etc. may be required as basic data.

The scan data is dental model scan data obtained by scanning a plaster model created by imitating a patient's oral cavity with a 3D scanner, or scanning the inside of the patient's oral cavity using a 3D intra-oral scanner It may be oral scan data obtained by CT data may be obtained by generating tomography images of the patient's head using computed tomography (CT), segmenting the tooth boundaries in each tomography image, and combining them into one. The acquired scan data and CT data may be stored in the storage unit 12 .

The storage unit 12 stores information necessary for performing the operation of the guide design device 1 and information generated according to the operation, and provides the information when requested by the control unit 14 . For example, the storage unit 12 stores the implantation design information and the operation report generated by the control unit 14 . The implantation design information includes information about an implantation position and an implantation direction for an implant structure including a fixture, and information about a guide shape. In this case, the drilling hole file included in the generated guide may be separately stored. The implantation design information can be utilized for a surgical guide during the surgical process.

The controller 14 generates implantation design information including the implantation position and direction of the virtual implant structure in the dental image, and designs the guide shape using the implantation design information. The controller 14 may perform a simulation of implanting a virtual implant structure object in a dental image. The dental image includes a multidimensional image such as 2D, 3D, etc. showing the arrangement of the patient's teeth. For example, various types of images such as basic image data acquired through the data acquisition unit 10, panoramic image data, image data generated through reconstruction, and registration data obtained by matching a plurality of images are utilized. can be

When designing a guide for dental implant surgery, the controller 14 matches the patient's CT data and scan data, then places the crown, and determines the placement positions of the fixture and anchor pins. Then, using the fixture and anchor pin placement information to design a guide fastened to the patient's oral cavity. For example, a drilling hole is first determined based on the installation direction and placement position of the fixture and anchor pin, and a guide area is created to enable fastening in the patient's oral cavity including the determined drilling hole. Then, the generated guide area can be manually or automatically fine-corrected. The guide region finally generated through correction may be finally output through the output unit 18 in the form of 3D data. Here, 'correction' may be used as the same term as adjustment, manipulation, editing, and the like.

The control unit 14 according to an embodiment automatically determines the guide area based on the surgical case including the maxilla and the mandible and the direction of the tooth area and generates it. At this time, the height of the guide area in the buccal direction, the height of the guide area in the lingual direction, and the length of the guide area in the mesial and distal directions based on the fixture implanted teeth are determined differently depending on the surgical case and the direction of the tooth area. can

For example, in the case of the buccal region, the guide region is automatically determined based on the user preset region or the position of the maximum protuberance of the tooth. In the case of the lingual area, the upper jaw automatically determines the guide area to include the palatal area, and the lower jaw automatically determines the user's preset area as a guide line. Here, the preset area means an area from the minimum: 1/2 the height of the tooth to the maximum: 2/3 the height of the tooth, and a user can set a predetermined value within the above range.

The length of the guide area is automatically determined to include two or more adjacent teeth on the left and right sides based on the fixture placement tooth when there is only one fixture implanted tooth. When there are two or more teeth for fixture placement and they are continuous, the length of the guide area is automatically determined to include two or more left and right adjacent teeth based on the two teeth located at both ends. When there are two or more teeth for fixture placement and they are not continuous, the length of the guide area is automatically determined to include all the tooth areas between the teeth at both ends, including two or more left and right adjacent teeth based on the two teeth located at both ends. However, the minimum number of left and right adjacent teeth can be changed by inputting the user in the settings.

The control unit 14 according to an embodiment may selectively fine-tune the automatically determined guide area only when correction is required. For example, when the guide area automatically determined to include the aforementioned preset area and the minimum number of adjacent teeth does not include both the drilling hole and the anchor pin area, the guide area is set to include both the drilling hole and the anchor pin area. It is possible to shorten the operation planning time by minimizing the user's modification in the guide design stage through the extended automatic correction.

The output unit 18 displays a program screen. The output unit 18 may display an automatically generated guide area and a final guide area generated through user modification on the screen. In addition, the final guide area can be output in 3D form to the outside.

2 is a diagram illustrating an example of automatically generating a guide region in the lingual region of the maxilla in scan data according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1 and 2, when the guide design device 1 generates the guide area 30 in the buccal or lingual direction in the scan data 20, the preset area is connected or the maximum protuberance of the tooth is determined. By connecting, the guide area 30 is automatically created. However, in the case of the guide region 30 in the lingual direction of the upper jaw, the guide region 30 is automatically created to include the palatal region 300 as shown in FIG. 2 in order to increase the binding force of the guide. At this time, the included palatal region 300 connects the positions of the two teeth located at the edge in the distal direction, and is created in an arcuate shape so as not to touch the airway part of the patient.

The preset area means an area in which positions of a certain height of each tooth are connected. For example, the user may set a value of the guide height preferred by the user within the range from the minimum: 1/2 the height of the tooth to the maximum: 2/3 the height of the tooth.

The automatic generation method of the guide area 30 may automatically generate the guide area 30 using either a method using the maximum wind ridge or a method using a preset area. An example of generating the guide region using the maximum wind convex portion will be described later with reference to FIG. 3 .

3 is a diagram illustrating an example of automatically generating a guide region in the lingual direction of the mandible in scan data according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3 , the guide design device 1 automatically determines the height of the guide area 30 based on the preset area of each individual tooth in the mandible when the direction of the tooth area is the lingual direction. The guide area automatic creation method using the preset area is as follows. The residual value is divided in the patient's scan data 20 and separated into individual teeth. When the CT data and the scan data are matched, the coordinate information of the scan data is changed based on the coordinate information of the CT data. Cross-sections having a certain distance vertically are created for individual teeth based on the vertical axis information (vertical axis information in the mesial/distal direction). Then, all major axes up to the tooth area are connected using the tooth line information in the cross-sectional image based on the center point of the cross-section generated for each individual tooth. Among them, the maximum long axis value having the maximum length is defined and this is determined as the tooth length. After defining the guideline for each tooth by applying the preset area value (for example, 1/2~2/3) to the tooth length for each individual tooth, the guideline for each divided individual tooth is applied. The guide area 30 is created by connecting them.

4 is a diagram illustrating an example of automatically generating a guide region in the buccal direction of the maxilla and the mandible in scan data according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4 , the guide design device 1 automatically determines the height of the guide area based on the preset area or the maximum convex position of each individual tooth if the tooth area direction is the buccal direction. An example of automatically determining the height of the guide area based on the preset area is the same as described above with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3 .

Referring to FIG. 4 , the process of automatically generating a guide area using the maximum protuberance of a tooth is as follows. In the patient's scan data 20, the residual value is segmented and separated into individual teeth. When the CT data and the scan data are matched, the coordinate information of the scan data is changed based on the coordinate information of the CT data. Creates cross-sections having regular intervals horizontally from the occlusal direction to the gum direction. Then, for each individual tooth, the total length (tooth circumference) of the tooth outline located in each section is calculated. At this time, for each individual tooth, the tooth position having the maximum value among the total lengths of each cross section is defined as the maximum protuberance. Then, the segmented teeth are connected to each other to include the individually defined maximum ridge region to create a guide region.

Guide design device 1 according to an embodiment, when the direction of the tooth area is the buccal direction, the height of the guide area based on the preset area so that the Embrasure area 510 is not included in the guide area 30. decide For example, the guide line 400-3 including a preset area (the area from 1/2 the height of the tooth to 2/3 the height for each individual tooth) so that the Embrasure area 510 is not included. ) to create a guide region 30 composed of.

The guide design apparatus 1 according to an embodiment determines the length of the guide region in the mesial and distal directions to be different according to the partially edentulous or completely edentulous cases classified according to the position and number of the fixture implanted teeth. For example, the length of the guide area is automatically determined to include more than a set value of adjacent teeth of the fixture implanted teeth. However, exceptions are made when the fixture placement teeth are the 6th and 7th teeth of the maxilla and mandible.

When there is only one fixture placement tooth, a guide area is automatically created to include two or more left and right adjacent teeth of the fixture placement tooth. 4 illustrates an example of generating the guide region 30 by configuring the guide line 400 - 2 including two adjacent teeth 420 and 430 of the drilling hole 410 for fixture implantation. When there are two or more teeth for fixture placement and they are continuous, a guide area is automatically created to include two or more left and right adjacent teeth based on the two teeth located at both ends. When there are two or more teeth for fixture placement and they are not continuous, a guide area including both the tooth area between the teeth at both ends including two or more left and right adjacent teeth based on the two teeth located at both ends is automatically created. If the fixture placement tooth is the 6th tooth of the maxilla or the mandible, a guide area is automatically created to include all of the 7th tooth in the distal direction. When the fixture placement tooth is the 7th tooth of the maxilla or the mandible, the guide area in the distal direction is automatically generated to include an area equal to the set value orthogonal to the arch line. The setting value can be set by the user in the settings.

The guide design apparatus 1 according to an embodiment performs automatic correction of arbitrarily expanding the guide area to include both the drilling hole and the anchor pin when the automatically determined guide area does not include both the drilling hole and the anchor pin. For example, as shown in FIG. 4 , a guide area 30 including a guide line 400 - 1 included in the drilling hole 410 is generated.

In the guide area automatic determination step (S510), the guide design device 1 guides the mesial and distal directions based on the height of the guide area in the buccal direction, the height of the guide area in the lingual direction, and the fixture implanted teeth. The length of the region may be determined differently depending on the surgical case and the direction of the tooth region.

For example, if the direction of the tooth area is the buccal direction, the guide design device 1 automatically determines the height of the guide area based on the preset area or the maximum protuberance position of each individual tooth.

Automatic determination of the guide area height using the preset area For example, the height of the guide area is determined based on the preset area so that the implant area is not included in the guide area. The preset area means an area from the minimum: 1/2 the height of the tooth to the maximum: 2/3 the height of the teeth for each individual tooth, and can be set by the user.

According to the automatic guide area height determination process using the maximum protuberance position, the guide design device 1 divides the remaining teeth of the tooth image into individual teeth, and horizontally preset intervals from the occlusal direction to the gum direction for each divided individual tooth. Create sections with Next, after calculating the total length of the tooth outline forming the boundary of each cross-section, the tooth position having the maximum value among the calculated total lengths of each cross-section is defined as the maximum convex position, and the maximum convex position of each individual tooth Create a guide area including up to the area connected to

In the automatic guide area determination step (S510), the guide design device 1 determines the guide area so that the upper jaw includes at least a part of the palatal area if the tooth area direction is the lingual direction, and the mandible is based on the preset area of each individual tooth to automatically determine the height of the guide area.

In the guide area automatic determination step (S510), the guide design device 1 determines the length of the guide area in the mesial and distal directions according to the partially edentulous or completely edentulous cases classified according to the position and number of fixture implanted teeth. can decide For example, when there is only one fixture-installed tooth, the length of the guide area is automatically determined to include two or more adjacent teeth on both sides of the fixture based on the fixture-placed tooth. When there are two or more teeth for fixture placement and they are continuous, the length of the guide area is automatically determined to include two or more left and right adjacent teeth based on the two teeth located at both ends. When there are two or more teeth for fixture placement and they are not continuous, the length of the guide area can be automatically determined to include both the tooth area between the teeth at both ends, including two or more left and right adjacent teeth based on the two teeth located at both ends. .

Then, the guide design device 1 determines whether the automatically determined guide area includes both the drilling hole and the anchor pin. At this time, when not including all of them (S530), an automatic correction of arbitrarily expanding the guide area to include both the drilling hole and the anchor pin may be performed (S540). Accordingly, it is possible to shorten the time for establishing a surgical plan by minimizing the user's modification in the guide design stage.
