11 is a view for explaining a quartz glass packaging implant for enhancing bioactivity of an implant according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 11, a quartz glass packaging implant (hereinafter, referred to as "the embodiment of FIG. 11") for enhancing the bioactivity of the implant according to another embodiment of the present invention includes the quartz glass packaging This is a modified embodiment of the implant.

11 includes a case 111, an implant 113, a mount 115, a sealing cap 119, and a mount fixing portion 121, as in the case of a quartz glass packaging implant described with reference to Figs. And the sealing cap 119 is coupled with the case 111 to form an internal space and is provided with a fastening portion C capable of sealingly engaging with the case 111 and a fastening portion And a mount insertion portion (not shown in the drawing). Meanwhile, for the purpose of explanation of the present invention, the case 111 is indicated by a dotted line.

The embodiment of FIG. 11 is identical in construction to the quartz glass packaging implant described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 10 except for one difference, and the difference will be mainly described below.

11 is configured such that a hydrophilic deteriorating material (for example, a polymer material such as a synthetic resin) is not exposed to the inside space 122 formed by the sealing cap 119 and the case 111. In the present specification, the term 'hydrophilic deteriorating substance' refers to any substance that produces particles that deteriorate or deteriorate the hydrophilicity of the implant when exposed to ultraviolet rays. The term 'hydrophilic deteriorating substance' It is a substance that maintains or strengthens the hydrophilicity of the implant without deteriorating.

A hydrophilic deteriorating substance such as a polymer substance is considered to be a substance which deteriorates the hydrophilicity of the implant 113 when it is exposed to ultraviolet rays (it is presumed that it is adsorbed on the implant 113 as a result of the experiment to deteriorate the hydrophilicity And thus a hydrophilic aggravating material (for example, a material such as a synthetic resin) may be formed in the inner space 122 in which the sealing cap 119 and the case 122 are combined to prevent the generation of such a material. ) Is not exposed.

That is, the embodiment of FIG. 11 is configured such that the hydrophilic deteriorating material is not exposed to the inner space 122. If the hydrophilic deteriorating substance is present in the inside 122, particles which deteriorate the hydrophilic property of the implant 113 due to ultraviolet rays radiated to the inside 122 are generated and adsorbed on the surface of the implant 113 .

For example, the components and portions exposed to the inner space 122 are configured not to be made of a hydrophilic deteriorating material as well as the above-described mount fixing portion 121 or the sealing cap 119, In the case of a hydrophilic deteriorating material, its surface is coated with a hydrophilic retaining or reinforcing material.

The embodiment of FIG. 11 thus constructed is placed in an ultraviolet radiation apparatus (which may be, for example, an apparatus as shown in FIG. 3) so that ultraviolet radiation is radiated to the implant 113, (For example, the area indicated by "R" in the mount fixing portion 121 or the sealing cap 119) is not made of at least a hydrophilic deteriorating material, so that the hydrophilic property of the implant 113 is poor Particles are not generated.

The embodiment of Fig. 11 differs from the embodiment of Fig. 11 in that at least a portion of the sealing cap fastening portion C (R: a portion that is exposed in the space of the inside 122 where the sealing cap 119 and the case 111 are joined, It is not composed of deteriorating materials. That is, at least part (R) of the sealing cap fastening portion (C) is composed or coated with a hydrophilic retaining or reinforcing material.

The coating methods may be those known in the art including deposition.

The hydrophilic retaining or reinforcing material may be, for example, a metallic material such as a material with a high ultraviolet reflectance (aluminum, magnesium oxide, ...) or a cork used as a glue or a cap of a beverage container. That is, the hydrophilic retaining or reinforcing substance is a substance that does not affect or improve the hydrophilicity of the implant, and more preferably a substance having high ultraviolet reflectance.

In the embodiment of Fig. 11, the mount fixing portion 121 may be made of hydrophilic or reinforcing material, such as glue gun or metal material itself. Alternatively, the mount fixing portion 121 itself may be a hydrophilic deteriorating material, but its surface may be coated with a hydrophilic retaining or reinforcing material. The sealing cap 119 is also made of a material itself such as a hydrophilic or reinforcing material or alternatively the sealing cap 119 itself is made of a hydrophilic deteriorating material such as a synthetic resin and the surface of the sealing cap 119 is made hydrophilic Or may be coated with a reinforcing material.

In the embodiment of FIG. 11, all the components existing in the interior space 122 with the implant 113 are coated with a material other than the hydrophilic deteriorating material, or the inside surface of the interior 122 having the implant 113 All components present are composed of substances other than hydrophilic deteriorating substances.

As described above, the embodiment of FIG. 11 is modified on the basis of the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 4 to FIG. Meanwhile, the embodiments described with reference to Figs. 1 and 2 can be modified in the same manner. 1, the mount fixing portion 21 is coated with a material other than a hydrophilic deteriorating material (a material that does not generate particles that deteriorate the hydrophilicity of the implant by ultraviolet rays), or another material A material that does not produce particles that degrade the hydrophilicity of the implants).

1), at least a portion of the mount 15 (the portion exposed in the interior 122 space where the implant 13 is present) is a material that is not a hydrophilic deteriorating material (such as a material that worsens the hydrophilicity of the implant due to ultraviolet rays) Or a material that does not generate particles).

12 to 14 are views for explaining a method and an effect of using a quartz glass packaging implant according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As described above, according to the embodiments described with reference to Figs. 1 to 2 and Figs. 4 to 11, the implant can be separated and fastened without touching the user's hand. Hereinafter, referring to Figs. 12 to 14 A method of separating an implant will be described.

Referring to FIG. 12, a user, for example a dentist, first separates the case 111 when using a quartz glass packaging implant according to an embodiment of the present invention. The user can remove the case 111 by pulling the sealing cap 119 while holding the sealing cap 119 by hand.

In Fig. 13, the case 111 is shown as an example. In this state, the user can separate the sealing cap 119.

13, when the user holds the mount fixing part 121 with one hand and the sealing cap 119 with the other hand and pulls the other part in a direction away from each other, the sealing cap 119 comes in contact with the mount fixing part 121, . Here, it can be seen that the user can separate the seal cap 119 and the mount fixing portion 121 without any contact with the implant.

14 shows a state in which the 'implant-mount composite' 113, 115, and 117 are separated from the mount fixing portion 121 after the sealing cap 119 is detached. 14, the user grasps a dental handpiece (or torque wrench) (not shown in detail) mounted on the mount fixing portion 121 with one hand and a mount driver on the other hand The mount driver is coupled to the mount screw 117. Thereafter, the dental handpiece (or torque wrench) is gripped with one hand, the mount screw 117 is moved to the upper side of the mount fixing part 121 and separated,

Here, the configuration of the equipment such as the mount driver, the dental handpiece, and the torque wrench (not shown) is a well-known technology, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As described above with reference to FIGS. 12 to 14, it can be seen that the quartz glass packaging implant according to an embodiment of the present invention is configured to use the implant without touching the user's hand at all.

Now, a method of fastening the implant 13 to the quartz glass packaging implant according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The method of fastening the implant 13 to the quartz glass packaging implant according to an embodiment of the present invention follows the reverse procedure of the method for separating the implant 13 described above.
