Description

1 Method for manufacture of a iaw customized guide, system for aiding mounting of tooth implants, iaw customized guide, a radiopaque marker element and software for determining data for manufacture of a iaw customized guide for guiding mounting of permanent tooth implants TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to aid for mounting of permanent tooth implants.
BACKGROUND ART There are methods known in the art for mounting of permanent tooth implants.
SUMMARY An object ofthe present disclosure is to provide solutions which are suitable for mounting of permanent tooth implants in toothless jaws and jaws with only a few teeth.
The present disclosure relates to a method for manufacture of a jaw customized guidearranged to guide mounting of permanent tooth implants in a jaw. The method comprisessteps of fastening at least one radiopaque marker element in a gingiva and/or the the jaw anddetermining data for manufacture of the jaw customized guide for guiding mounting ofpermanent tooth implants based on an image set comprising at least one x-ray image and a 3Dsurface scanning image ofthe jaw with the at least one radiopaque marker element fastenedin the gingiva and/orjaw. The determination step is computer implemented and comprisesprocessing the image set to identify at least three radiopaque points comprising the at leastone fastened radiopaque marker element in the x-ray and 3D surface scanning image,respectively; correlating the x-ray and the 3D surface scanning images to each other based onthe identified at least three radiopaque points; forming compiled information comprising information from the correlated x-ray and 3D surface scanning images; and determining the 2data for manufacture of the jaw customized guide based on the compiled information comprising information from the correlated x-ray and 3D surface scanning images.This solution provides for reduced discomfort for the patient in relation to known methods.
Further, the solution is time effective both for dentist and patient. The patient will visit thedentist for mounting the radiopaque marker elements and capturing the image set. ln a nextstep, the tooth implants will be mounted with the aid of the manufactured jaw customizedguide. The manufactured jaw customized guide may be removably supported by the radiopaque marker elements.
This solution enables correlation of the x-ray and the 3D surface scanning images to eachother even when there is not enough information in the images to make such correlationwithout the mounted radiopaque marker elements. Generally, three points which are visiblein both the x-ray and 3D scanning surface images are necessary in order to align the images x-ray and 3D scanning surface images to each other. ln a toothless jaw or a jaw with only a fewor not optimally positioned placed teeth, the mounted at least one radiopaque markerelement secures that at least three different points which can be used for correlation/alignment are visible in both the x-ray and 3D scanning surface images. Thus, the x-ray and3D scanning surface images can be correlated to each other (or in other words aligned) usingthe mounted radiopaque marker elements as the only or aiding points for making the correlation or alignment.
Thus, the method may be applied to a jaw with only one or a few teeth, where tooth/teeth present does not provide enough information for making the correlation/alignment. ln practice, when the jaw has one or a plurality of teeth, at least one tooth in the jaw forming a radiopaque point may be identified in the x-ray and 3D surface scanning image, respectively.
Accordingly, the step of correlating the x-ray and the 3D surface scanning images to eachother is also based on the identified at least one tooth. The identified at least one tooth andthe at least one identified radiopaque marker element together form the at least three radiopaque points for correlating the x-ray and the 3D surface scanning images to each other. ln different embodiments, at least three radiopaque marker elements are fastened in the gingiva and/orjaw and identified in the x-ray and 3D surface scanning image, respectively. 3No additional points for correlating/aligning the images are then necessary. The method may accordingly be applied to a toothless jaw.
Thus, in accordance with these embodiments, the radiopaque marker e|ement(s) and possibleremaining tooth/teeth in the jaw form the at least three radiopaque points for correlating the x-ray and the 3D surface scanning images to each other.
The use ofthe radiopaque marker e|ement(s) and possible remaining tooth/teeth in the jaw toform the at least three radiopaque points for correlating the x-ray and the 3D surface scanning images to each other, provides for correlation/alignment with high accuracy.
The at least three radiopaque points for correlating the x-ray and the 3D surface scanningimages to each other also have the characteristic that they extend above the gingiva. Thus, theradiopaque marker e|ement(s) and any potential tooth/teeth may in different embodiments act as supporting points for the guide.
Accordingly, the guide manufactured based on this method may be designed not to have toabut against the gingiva or mucous membrane, even if the jaw is toothless. lf no teeth arepresent, the guide may be designed to be supported at least substantially only on theradiopaque marker elements. |fteeth are present, the guide can be design to be supported also on the present tooth/teeth.
When the gingiva is anesthetized in preparation for mounting the permanent tooth implants,the gingiva will characteristically swell. lt is therefore advantageous that the guide, which wasdesigned when the gingiva was in a not-swelled state, substantially only is arranged to besupported on the radiopaque marker elements and any present tooth/teeth. lf the guide onthe other hand is intended to be supported by the gingiva, this may cause problems. lt maynot be possible to correctly fit the jaw customized guide for guiding mounting of the permanent tooth implants in the mouth when the gingiva is anesthetized and swelled.
However, in accordance with these embodiments, some abutment against the gingiva/mucousmembrane may be considered, for example in a field around the respective radiopaque marker element.
Further, when the guide is substantially only supported on the radiopaque marker elements and any present tooth/teeth, this enhances the possibility of adequate irrigation. As the guide 4substantially is spaced apart from the gingiva/ mucous membrane, fluid is allowed to flow therebetween. ln different embodiments, the step of determining the data for manufacture of the jawcustomized guide comprises determining the geometry and orientation ofthe radiopaquemarker element(s) and any present tooth/teeth and designing the guide based on thedetermined geometry and orientation so that the guide when mounted substantially is movable in only one direction.
Thus, using the radiopaque marker elements and any present tooth/teeth as supports for thejaw customized guide and designing the guide based on the geometry ofthe radiopaquemarker element(s) and any present tooth/teeth, allows for a design of the guide such that theradiopaque marker element(s) and any present tooth are fitted to the guide in a mountedstate such that the guide is immobile in any other direction than a dismounting directionwithout use of any additional fastening elements. Accordingly, the geometry of the jawcustomized guide may be selected such that no additional fastening means for mounting are necessary while at the same time the guide is easily removable. ln different embodiments, the step of determining data for manufacture of the jawcustomized guide for guiding mounting of permanent tooth implants is further based on anadditional 3D surface scanning image of the jaw with the at least one radiopaque markerelement fastened in the gingiva and/or jaw and wherein the additional 3D surface scanningimage is captured with a removable denture positioned in place. The removable denture ischaracteristically a removable denture presently used by the patient. The additional 3Dsurface scanning image is aligned with the images of the image set. Thus, the computer implemented determination step comprises further processing the additional 3D surface scanning image to identify the at least three radiopaque points in the additional 3D surface scanning image, and correlating the additional 3D surface scanning image to the image set based at least on the identified at least three radiopaque points. 5The step of forming compiled information comprises forming the compiled information alsofrom the additional surface scanning image. Further, the data for manufacture of the jawcustomized guide based on the compiled information is determined based also on the additional 3D scanning image.
The data for manufacture of the jaw customized guide based on the compiled informationmay then be determined also from information in the additional 3D surface scanning image.This includes identifying the location of the teeth of the removable denture in the additional3D surface scanning image and to use this information as data for the data for manufacture of the jaw customized guide.
This has the advantage that an indication of suitable positions of the permanent toothimplants is provided from the additional 3D surface scanning image and that the jaw customized guide may be designed accordingly.
Preferably, the removable denture is provided with recesses arranged to accommodate theradiopaque marker elements before capturing the additional 3D surface scanning image.Thereby the removable denture is better fitted and the positions of the teeth of theremovable denture in relation to the positions of the radiopaque points may be accuratelydetermined. The additional 3D surface image is preferably captured while the removable denture is fitted in place without exerting pressure on the radiopaque marker elements.The recesses may for example be provided by means of drilling or grinding. ln different embodiments, the method further comprises a step of preparing the removable denture for use as a protection during healing of permanent tooth implants.
Thus, the removable denture may be used by the patient during healing of mountedpermanent tooth implants to protect the implanted teeth during heeling and thereby reducediscomfort for the patient. The removable denture is then supported by the radiopaquemarking element(s). Substantially no pressure is then exerted on the tooth implants as theremovable denture is supported by the radiopaque elements and further forms a cover protecting the healing tooth implants.
The present disclosure further relates to a radiopaque marker element for aiding mounting of a permanent tooth implant in a jaw. The radiopaque marker element may be used in the 6methods as described above. The radiopaque marker element comprises a first part beingfastenable in the jaw and/or a gingiva. The radiopaque marker element comprises further asecond part arranged to extend from a surface of the gingiva, wherein at least the second parthas a radiopaque contrast corresponding to the radiopaque contrast of a tooth. The second part may be detachable from the first part.
The jaw customized guide may be designed to be supported on the radiopaque markerelement. The jaw customized guide is then preferable designed to be supported on the second part. However, the jaw customized guide may be designed to be supported on the first part.
When the jaw customized guide is designed to be supported on the radiopaque markerelement, in an option where the second part of the radiopaque marker element is detachable,a step of preparing the removable denture for use as a protection during healing ofpermanent tooth implants may comprise detaching the respective second part from the restof each radiopaque marker element mounted to the jaw and mounting the second part(s) inthe recess(es) ofthe removable denture. The mounting of the second part(s) in the recess(es)may comprise adding a material having adhesive properties in the recess(es) and positioningthe second part in the recess. The second part will then be secured in the recess by means ofthe added material. Thereafter the removable denture may be fastened in the mouth byattaching the respective radiopaque marker element first part to its corresponding second part secured to the removable denture.The radiopaque marker element may comprise a pin for fastening to a gingiva and/or the jaw.
The pin may be made of a material suitable for fastening in bone. Such pin is accordingly suitable for being fastened in the jaw.
The pin may be made of a material suitable for fastening in soft tissue. Such pin is suitable for being fastened in the gingiva.
At least a first mounting part of the pin may be threaded and arranged to be screwed into thejaw. This example is very suitable when the jaw customized guide is designed to be supported on the radiopaque marker element.

The method further comprises a step of determining S6 data for manufacture of the jawcustomized guide for guiding mounting of permanent tooth implants. The data is determinedbased on the image set comprising the at least one x-ray image and the 3D surface scanningimage of the jaw with the at least one radiopaque marker element fastened in the gingivaand/or jaw. The determination step characteristically is computer implemented. Examples for carrying out the determination step S6 will be further described in relation to Figure 2.
The method may further comprise a step of manufacturing S7 the jaw customized guide. Themanufacture is performed based on the determined data for the manufacture of the jawcustomized guide for guiding permanent tooth implants. The manufacturing may be performed at least partly by means of a 3D printer.
The method may further comprise a step of preparing S8 the removable denture for use as aprotection during healing of permanent tooth implants. Thus, the removable denture may beused by the patient during healing of mounted permanent tooth implants to protect theimplanted teeth during heeling and thereby reduce discomfort for the patient. The removabledenture is then supported by the radiopaque marking element(s). Substantially no pressure isthen exerted on the tooth implants as the removable denture is supported by the radiopaque elements and further forms a cover protecting the healing tooth implants. ln Figure 2, different examples of a step S6 for determining data for manufacture of a jawcustomized guide in a method for manufacture of a jaw customized guide are illustrated. Thesteps illustrated herein may be performed in another order than the illustrated. The determination is performed at least partly in software.
The determination S6 of data for manufacture of a jaw customized guide step comprises astep of processing the image set to identify S61 at least three radiopaque points comprising atleast one fastened radiopaque marker element in an x-ray and in a 3D surface scanning image.When at least three radiopaque marker elements are fastened in the gingiva and/or jaw, the method will not require identification of radiopaque markers in the form of teeth.
The at least three radiopaque points may further be identified S63 in an additional 3D surfacescanning image. Thus, the additional 3D surface scanning image is processed to identify S63the at least three radiopaque points in the additional 3D surface scanning image. Theadditional 3D surface scanning image is characteristically captured with a removable denture positioned in place in the mouth.
The x-ray image, the 3D surface scanning image and the possible additional 3D surfacescanning image of the image set are correlated S62, S64 to each other based on the identified at least three radiopaque points. 11 When at least one tooth in the jaw forming a radiopaque point is identified in the x-ray and 3Dsurface scanning image, respectively, the correlation S62, S64 ofthe x-ray image, the 3Dsurface scanning image and the possible additional 3D surface scanning image of the image setto each other may also be based on an identified at least one tooth. The identified at least onetooth and the at least one identified radiopaque marker element then together form the atleast three radiopaque points for correlating the x-ray and the 3D surface scanning images of the image set to each other.
Compiled information is then formed S65 comprising information from the correlated x-rayimage, the 3D surface scanning image and the possible additional 3D surface scanning image of the image set.
Data for manufacture of the jaw customized guide is then determined S66 based on thecompiled information comprising information from the correlated x-ray and 3D surface scanning images of the image set.
The data for manufacture of the jaw customized guide may be determined by determining thegeometry and orientation of the radiopaque marker element(s) and any present tooth/teethand designing the guide based on the determined geometry and orientation so that the guide when mounted substantially is movable in only one direction.
The determination S66 of data for manufacture of the jaw customized guide for guidingmounting of permanent tooth implants may further be based on the additional 3D surfacescanning image of the jaw with the at least one radiopaque marker element fastened in thegingiva and/or jaw, wherein the additional 3D surface scanning image is captured with the removable denture positioned in place.
