Description

Zirconia implant fixture < RTI ID = 0.0 >

The present invention relates to an implant fixture which is formed of a zirconia material and is fixed to an inside of an alveolar bone by a zirconia material, a housing and a strut are formed of titanium, and a zirconia crown is bonded to the outside of the strut, Which is capable of reducing plaque and plaque and improving aesthetics.

Dental implants have a healthy oral cavity through the placement of artificial teeth that can replace missing teeth. Common dentures or dentures commonly used have the disadvantage of bruising surrounding teeth and bones over time, but dental implants not only do not injure the surrounding dental tissue, but they also have cavities and function and shape similar to natural teeth Because it can be used semi-permanently, its use is increasing.

Thus, unlike general materials, the materials used to replace lost teeth, such as dental implants, are subject to many restrictions due to the special environment in the oral cavity. Namely, there are many problems such as a wet environment close to 100% relative humidity, high occlusal pressure generated during chewing, rapid temperature change, close contact with living tissue, frequent side effects such as hypersensitivity, The material for manufacturing an artificial tooth should be selected in consideration of the factors of the above.

In recent years, ceramics having excellent physical properties without discoloration, fracture and debris have been used in the long term. Especially, in order to improve the strength of ceramic materials having excellent aesthetic properties, glass penetration composites, CAD (computer aided design) computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) zirconia, and crystallized glass.

The CEREC system, originally designed by Mormann in the early 1990s, was the first to make copings by machining high-strength, high-purity zirconia with CAD / CAM. The zirconia Has a tenfold stronger physical property than porcelain porcelain porcelain, and has been attracting much attention because it is not easily broken even at high occlusal pressure generated during chewing.

Generally, zirconia means zirconium oxide, has high refractive index and high melting point, and is highly corrosion resistant. Among the ceramic materials used in dentistry, they have the highest strength and excellent aesthetics, and they are widely used as a substitute for teeth.

Such zirconia is excellent in biocompatibility and not only shows good biocompatibility to surrounding tissues, but also has high resistance to corrosion and is not toxic to living body, and is suitable for use as a dental prosthesis such as an implant fixture.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the dental implant prosthesis has a dental crown 6 made of zirconia and serving as a tooth, and a crown 6 embedded in the alveolar bone 1 for implantation A fixing screw 4 for joining the implant fixture 4 and the implant abutment 5 is further provided with an implant abutment 5 which is made up of the fixture 3 and which supports the dental crown 6, .

The crown 6 is made of zirconia having a white color and has a low esthetics due to its opacity but has sufficient mechanical strength. Therefore, even if the crown has a small thickness 'd', the crown 6 is less likely to be broken during use. And the implant fixture (4) were made of a titanium alloy material in order to secure a strong supporting force.

It has been found that the titanium can bind to bones and play a role of a root without harmful action in the human body, so that titanium metal is mainly used as a material of artificial teeth used worldwide.

However, since such an implant fixture 4 has a unique color of titanium, it has a problem that it is reflected on the gums after the implant surgery, or the implant fixture is directly exposed to the outside due to the gum disease, There was a high risk of gum disease by exacerbating tartar and plaque in the exposed titanium.

On the other hand, in the Utility Model Registration No. 0416306 (Dental Implant) (hereinafter referred to as Prior Art 1), a technique of constructing a single dental implant as a single zirconia ceramic by simplifying the structure was proposed. Patent Registration No. 1137013 A method of manufacturing a zirconia implant member, and a dental zirconia implant member using the same) (hereinafter referred to as Prior Art 2), injection molding is performed by mixing zirconia powder and a binder, and a series of post-treatment processes are performed to form an abutment and a fixture together An implant member is proposed.

However, since the prior art 1 and the prior art 2 are composed of one body as a whole, the implant fixture (or the implant member) can not but protrude to the upper side of the gingule at a certain height. As a result, So that it can be applied only when the alveolar bone is hard.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an implant fixture inserted and fixed in the alveolar bone by using a zirconia material, a housing and a strut bed formed of titanium, The object of the present invention is to provide a zirconia implant fixture in which crown is combined and titanium is not exposed to the outside, thereby reducing tartar and plaque and improving aesthetics.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The present invention proposes an implant fixture formed of zirconia for an implant fixture which was formed of titanium.

Generally, an implant fixture is divided into an external type implant fixture composed of an external type housing and an external type abutment, and an internal type implant fixture composed of an internal type housing and an internal type abutment , The present invention is commonly applied to an external type and an internal type, which will be described in detail for the first embodiment and the second embodiment.

3 to 5 and FIGS. 8 to 10, the implant fixture 120, which is inserted and fixed to the inside of the alveolar bone 1, is made of a zirconia material. The zirconia implant fixture 120, An outer type housing 110 or an inner type housing 110 made of titanium is closely inserted into the insertion hole 122 formed at the center of the upper portion of the implant fixture 120.

Particularly, the housing 110 (110a) has a polygonal cross-section so as not to flow or rotate after being inserted into the implant fixture 120, and the coupling angle between the housing 110 (110a) and the implant fixture 120 The cement-type adhesive is applied to the inner surface of the insertion hole 122, and then the housing 110 and the housing 110a are coupled.

The outer housing 110 includes a head portion 111 having a hexagonal shape and a support portion 112 which is seated in the seating groove 123 formed on the upper side of the implant fixture 120, A body portion 114 extending downward from the support portion 112 and inserted into the insertion hole 122 and a body portion 114 extending through the center of the head portion 111 and extending to the inside of the body portion 114 at a predetermined depth And a coupling hole 113 formed therein.

The support 112 may be formed to protrude from the upper surface of the implant fixture 120 without being separately formed in the implant fixture 120, It is preferable that the upper portion A of the implant fixture 120 maintains a pitch interval of 1/2 or less as compared with the lower portion B. [

On the other hand, zirconia is not easily processed compared to conventional titanium materials, and if the diameter of the insertion hole 122 is too large, there is a high possibility that the zirconia is broken during processing. Therefore, when the implant fixture 120 is made of zirconia 6, the diameter of the body part 114 inserted into the implant fixture 120 in the external type housing 110, the size 'B' of the head part 111, The diameter 'A' of the coupling hole 113 formed at the center of the coupling hole 114 should be appropriately adjusted.

That is, in the present invention, since the implant fixture 120 has a structure in which the housing is inserted therein, high toughness is required. In an embodiment of the present invention, the implant fixture 120 is made of pseudocubic zirconia (pseudo-cubic zircornia).

The toughness (toughness) means the degree of toughness against fracture of a material. It is represented by the energy per unit volume applied to the fracture, and not only the stress required for fracture is large, but also the amount of strain A composite material which is large, has a large absorption energy and is strong in toughness, and generally has a combination of two materials having different characteristics, has a high toughness.

Cubic zirconia, which improves the strength of Zirconia, is made of zirconium oxide as a raw material and can be strengthened in strength and ductility. Cubic zirconia, which is a synthetic product combining other components and has a completely cubic structure (a = c), does not exhibit low-temperature deterioration characteristics.

However, since cubic zirconia having a perfect cubic phase has poor physical properties (bending strength and fracture toughness), there is a problem that many cracks and chips are generated during machining and precise machining is impossible, so that it can not be used for the implant fixture of the present invention.

The present invention proposes, as a preferred embodiment, an implant fixture to which pseudo-cubic zirconia is applied in order to solve the above-mentioned problems in zirconia and cubic zirconia.

The pseudocubic zirconia is produced by patent registration No. 1335761 (zirconia single crystal having no low-temperature deterioration characteristic and its growing method).

At this time, the upper zirconia single crystal is characterized by being a single crystal having a t'-phase whose crystal structure is nearly cubic, and this t'-phase is often called a pseudo-cubic The reason is that the crystal structure is almost the same as cubic.

That is, the pseudocubic zirconia of the present invention is prepared by mixing 37.44 kg of ZrO 2 powder having a purity of 99.99% and 2.56 kg of Y 2 O 3 powder having a purity of 99.99% as a raw material, making a seed from the raw material uniform at the initial stage of crystal growth, crystal, and the composition ratio of the raw materials is preferably in the range of 95 to 93 wt% of ZrO 2: 5 to 7 wt% of Y 2 O 3. Hereinafter, a detailed description of the method of growing and manufacturing the same will be omitted.

The pseudocubic zirconia of the present invention produced according to the above method exhibited a very high value of 170.6 Kgf / mm ² and had a hardness of 1,200 to 1,300 Hv, physical properties of fracture toughness of 11.5 ~ 14.5 MPa, was a value withstand Applying pressure until the sample is broken bending strength is 160 ~ 180 kgf / mm ^2, specific gravity appeared to 6.10 ~ 6.15 g / cm ^3, notably as compared with the conventional product Respectively.

In particular, the fracture toughness and bending strength are about twice as good as those of the world's highest level of cubic zirconia products (fracture toughness of 6.7 MPa and bending strength of 100 Kgf / mm ^{2 in} Kyocera Japan).
