Abstract
A bone graft material condensing instrument comprising a longitudinally extending handle and a laterally extending distal head having an upper surface bounded by vertically extending substantially flat sides and a flat horizontally extending lower surface.
Description
- The present application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/895,812 filed Aug. 8, 2007 and claiming the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent application Ser. No. 60/882,940 filed Dec. 31, 2006. The present application also relates to the subject matter of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/895,823, entitled “Internal Sinus Manipulation (ISM) Procedure For Facilitating Sinus Floor Augmentation In Dental Procedures”, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,662,2010, which is incorporated herein by this by this reference.
- As stated in the above-identified U.S. Pat. No. 7,662,188, during the described procedure, there is a pre-condensing and packing of a bone grafting material in a pocket between the sinus floor and the sinus membrane of a patient. This is accomplished using a bone condensing instrument. The present invention is directed to a preferred form of such a bone grafting material condensing instrument.
- Basically, the bone grafting material condensing instrument of the present invention comprises a longitudinally extending handle carrying at its distal end a relatively small laterally extending bone graft material condensing head. The condensing head is designed to fit upward into a sinus bone channel containing a quantity of recently placed bone grafting material. The condensing head has an upper surface bounded by vertically extending substantially flat side surfaces and is employed to condense the bone graft packing material upon a simultaneous spinning of the handle on its longitudinal axis and a lateral movement of the instrument in the bone graft material.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a preferred bone graft material condensing instrument including a longitudinally extending handle and a relatively small laterally extending distal head having an upper surface, flat vertical sides and a flat lower surface extending horizontally relative to a longitudinal axis of the instrument. -
FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional side view of an upper portion of the instrument ofFIG. 1 showing the laterally extending distal head of the instrument. - As depicted in
FIG. 1 , the bone graftmaterial condensing instrument 10 of the present invention comprises a longitudinally extendinghandle 12 and a laterally extendingdistal head 14 having anupper surface 16 bounded by vertically extending substantiallyflat sides 18 and a flat horizontally extendinglower surface 20. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , thehandle 12 is longitudinally elongated on alongitudinal axis 22 of theinstrument 10 and includes an enlarged lower hand-holdable portion 24 having a longitudinally flutedouter surface 26 for enhancing the gripability of theinstrument 10. - As illustrated, the
distal head 14 is secured to the handle by an intermediate longitudinally extendingportion 28 of theinstrument 10 comprising a cylindricallower section 30, an axially elongated frusto-conical middle section 32 and an uppercylindrical section 34 of reduced diameter compared to the diameter of thelower section 30. As depicted inFIG. 1 , the cylindricallower section 30 is secured to and is of a slightly reduced diameter relative an upper end of the hand-holdable portion 24 of thehandle 12. The bottom of the frusto-conical middle section 32 is secured to a top of thelower section 30, is axially elongated on theaxis 22 and is reduced in lateral diameter as to approaches its relatively small upper end joined to a lower end of the uppercylindrical section 34. The uppercylindrical section 34, in turn, extends longitudinally on theaxis 22 upward to support thedistal head 14 that is secured to and supported by the end of thecylindrical section 34, as best shown inFIG. 2 . - As shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2 , the outer surface of the uppercylindrical section 34 below thedistal head 14 carries a plurality of horizontal vertically and evenly spaceddepth markers 36 for indicating the user of theinstrument 10 the depth of the instrument in a bone channel prior to use in the condensing of bone graft forming material. By way of example, the vertical spacing of thedepth markers 36 may be about 2 millimeters. - As most clearly shown in
FIG. 2 , thedistal head 14 extends upwardly from the upper end of the uppercylindrical section 34 and laterally from thelongitudinal axis 22 of theinstrument 10. Anupper surface 38 of thedistal head 14 extends from a downwardly curvedrear portion 40 to a roundedforward end 42 of thehead 14. Preferably as shown, theupper surface 38 is downwardly curved as it extends between therear portion 40 and theforward end 42. Also, thehead 14 preferably is about 2.5 millimeters from the forward-most edge of thesection 34 to a forward-most point on thesurface 42 as shown inFIG. 2 . Also, from the a mid-point on the curve of theforward end 42 of thehead 14 to the plane of thelower surface 20 is about 0.5 millimeters and from thelower surface 20 to a topmost portion of theupper surface 16 preferably is about 2 millimeters. In addition, the spacing ofvertical sides 18 of thehead 14 as they extend vertically between theupper surface 38 and the flat horizontally extendinglower surface 20 preferably is about 1.5 millimeters and, as depicted inFIG. 2 , the angle of the horizontally extendinglower surface 20 to the vertically extendinglongitudinal axis 22 of theinstrument 10 is preferably about 90 degrees. - As illustrated in
FIG. 7 of the previously referenced U.S. Pat. No. 7,662,188, theinstrument 10 preferably is designed in outward shape with the foregoing dimensions to efficiently pre-condense and pack the bone graft packing material in a pocket formed between the a sinus membrane and the floor of the sinus upon a spinning of the instrument on itslongitudinal axis 22 while moving the instrument laterally and vertically in the pocket. - While a particular preferred embodiment of the
instrument 10 has been illustrated and described above, it is appreciated that changes and modifications may be made in the illustrated embodiment without departing from the spirit of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of present invention is to be limited only by the terms of the following claim.
