Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multiple dental implant, a prosthesis implantation method for placing said implant as well as apparatus for implementing said method.
  • the invention in question relates to the sector of dental implantology, namely to that branch of medicine which involves the surgical placing of a specially designed device referred to below by the term "dental implant” or “dental prosthesis” inside the mandibular or jaw bone .
  • the object of the dental prosthesis is obviously that of restoring the capacity to chew which is hindered by the loss of one or more teeth.
  • endosseous implants screw or blade type
  • subperiosteal implants subperiosteal implants
  • transosseous implants clip, pin or other type
  • intramucous implants endodontic implants
  • bone substitutes bone substitutes or other systems
  • Screw implants of various forms have, over time, become established because of their versatility and easy use, replacing, except in a few cases, all the other preexisting implant systems .
  • a major contribution to dental implantology techniques was provided by the further research into osteointegration conducted by Professor Branemark in the 1960s. Osteointegration is understood as meaning a process by means of which a rigid and clinically asymptomatic fixation of the alloplastic material within the bone is obtained and maintained during functional loading.
  • the material from which an implant is made may behave, in terms of osteointegration, in an entirely different manner from the bone tissue depending on the type of implant, the superficial conditions of the implant, the types of load which are subsequently applied, the state of the implant site, the operating technique used and many other factors .
  • endosseous implants are currently those which are by far most used in modern prosthesis implantation techniques.
  • Blade implants and screw implants constitute in each case two techniques of dental implantology which are completely distinct from each other and can in no way be compared, in particular since they are based on different principles of biomechanics and require surgical techniques which are quite different from each other.
  • the response during osteointegration is greatly influenced by factors such as the form, the surface conditions of the implant (in accordance with surface engineering technology) , the type of load and the operating technique which varies considerably in screw implants compared to blade implants .
  • the geometry of the implant system must be such as to favour the primary stability of the implant during the healing phase.
  • the ideal distance at which the bone tissue retains a high osteoblastic activity is 200 microns.
  • blade implants which are of the multiple type or composed of a single endosseous - or root - element having, protruding from the top, several connection stumps for connecting a dental element - or an upper prosthesis part - with several teeth connected or separate from each other.
  • Figures A and B show two known examples of blade implants with their respective endosseous element, the first one being of the type with three mounts and a closed blade at the base and the second one being of the type with two mounts and an open blade at the base.
  • implant comprises a metal plate made of titanium or only lined with titanium powder or also made of an alloy comprising several metals for example chromium, cobalt, molybdenum, aluminium, and if necessary lined with titanium.
  • the plate is connected as a single body to the upper stump by means of a connecting collar.
  • the plate of the blade implant has a flattened form with different openings inside it having a shape able to allow the osteointegration process to become established once the plate has been implanted using the prosthesis implantation technique envisaged for this type of implant .
  • the dimensions of the blade body require a somewhat invasive operation in the patient ' s mouth and generally do not allow easy extraction of the implant in the event of unsuccessful integration.
  • the traditional technique envisages the formation of a plaster model able to reproduce accurately the arrangement of the teeth and the screws inside the mouth.
  • This model is obtained by taking an impression of the patient ' s mouth which is able to reproduce the precise spatial location of the implant with respect to the jaw and the mandible and also with respect to the teeth and the gums.
  • impression copings, impression stumps or transfer devices are arranged on the heads of the screws, depending on the techniques used.
  • the impression is generally taken using an impression holder.
  • the latter may be of the standard type which can be adapted to the edentulous condition of the patient, creating openings in the region of the individual implants, or may consist of a personalised individual infrastructure. In this latter case, it is therefore necessary to provide a preliminary impression using alginate so as to allow the preparation of a spoon of self-polymerizing material adapted to the residual crest after the measuring components have been isolated using wax in order to create the space for the impression material .
  • the retaining screws which keep the copings on the implanted screws are unscrewed and it is possible to remove the impression from the mouth.
  • the laboratory analogs are mounted on the coping and the positive impression consisting usually of a plaster model is prepared.
  • the upper part of the implant or dental element or ove structure is then formed on this model, which should accurately represent the patient's mouth, by means of various methods of the type known per se.
  • the dental element of a screw implant consists of a body generally made of metal such as titanium, gold or zirconium on which a capsule made of gold alloy, or other material, lined with ceramic is mounted.
  • the abovementioned body of the tooth is generally obtained by means of preliminary application, to the corresponding laboratory analog, of an abutment which, depending on the different applications and the different manufacturing companies, may have a varying form and be made of various materials.
  • Connection of the abutment to the screw head is generally performed by means of a retaining screw mechanically associated with an anti-rotational connecting system having an internal or external hexagonal shape or by means of numerous other retaining shapes .
  • ULA An abutment of the known type, which is currently used in prosthesis implants, is the stump known as "UKLA" .
  • This is made of calcinable plastic material on which a metal base is mounted and allows, either through addition, by means of the lost-wax overcasting technique or by means of cutting using milling cutters, the restoration of the parallel condition between implants which are greatly out of alignment and formation, according to requirements, of the abutment base on the screw head.
  • reassembly technique which envisages transferring, by means of a new impression, the position of the abutments inside the mouth to a new model generally called a master model .
  • the abutment generally undergoes in the laboratory an overcasting process using the lost wax technique, which results in the formation of an intermediate structure made of precious metal, such as gold or titanium, or an alloy of precious metals such as, for example, a gold alloy.
  • a good prosthesis implantation technique requires numerous tests - to be carried out during the various steps for preparation of the abutment, the intermediate structure and the cover - aimed at checking the perfect correspondence as regards spatial arrangement of the dental element constructed in the laboratory on the model (called master model) once the said dental element is transferred into the patient's mouth above the endosseous implant .
  • the reasons for this non-perfect correspondence may be many and in particular may consist in a lack of precision during taking of the impression or preparation of the plaster model and in the fact that the characteristics of the materials which form the impression may undergo variations over time .
  • the extraction step i.e. when the material has hardened, must be performed with a perfectly axial movement in order to avoid torsional or oscillating movements which could cause displacement of the transfers or pick-ups inside the impression.
  • the impression materials must have characteristics such as to ensure a stable and precise impression and are chosen by the surgeon on the basis of his customary practice and experience.
  • the impression materials used in dentistry are, as known, elastomers or synthetic rubbers (polysulphide rubbers, silicone rubbers with polymerization by means of addition or as a result polycondensation, polyether rubbers) .
  • elastomers or synthetic rubbers polysulphide rubbers, silicone rubbers with polymerization by means of addition or as a result polycondensation, polyether rubbers
  • the quality of fitting of the implant depends mainly on the experience and ability of the surgeon, during implantation, and the laboratory technician, during preparation of the prosthesis, since they are required to compensate, with their skill, for any errors in position and parallel alignment which are transferred to the master model .
  • the use of endosseous screw implants must be regarded as an excellent result achieved by modern prosthesis implantation technology - said implants offering among other things a high degree of standardisation of their components while ensuring a wide and varied range of solutions for all applicational requirements - on the other hand it is entirely obvious that the same individual screw implants, where more than one is used for restoration of a multiple edentulous condition, give rise to a whole serious of operational problems .
  • the main object of the present invention is therefore that of overcoming the drawbacks associated with the solutions of the known type mentioned above, by providing a multiple dental implant which allows rapid and safe placement, while ensuring the performance levels achieved by screw-type implants.
  • a further object of the present invention is that of providing a multiple dental implant which is constructionally inexpensive to manufacture, easy to fit and operationally entirely reliable.
  • a further object of the present invention is that of providing a prosthesis implantation method which allows the placement of said multiple dental implant without requiring numerous tests during the construction thereof, aimed at determining any imprecision in the laboratory model .
  • a further object of the present invention is that of providing a prosthesis implantation method which reduces the waiting times hitherto required for the fitting of multiple dental implants.
  • a further object of the present invention is that of providing a prosthesis implantation method which allows the more frequent recourse to the possibility of effecting immediate loading.
  • a further object of the present invention is that of providing apparatus for allowing rapid and efficient implementation of said method.
  • the multiple dental implant is characterized in that the endosseous element comprises: at least two fixture portions, each of which is provided with a head, which can be joined to the dental element by means of fixing means, and with a shank supporting the head at the top and having a substantially tubular elongated form with, associated on its surface, retaining means for exerting a mechanical sealing and osteointegrative action on the bone formation; at least one beam portion forming a single body with the fixture portions and extending by way of rigid connection of their bottom ends substantially in a direction perpendicular to the direction of extension of the individual fixture portions .

  • the crown part of the site was then widened using a pilot milling cutter and the cavity created widened according to the prechosen implant, using milling cutters of different diameter and height.

  • both the shape and the dimensions of the template 15 may vary in particular to take account of the number and the arrangement of the teeth without thereby departing from the protective scope of the present invention.
  • the template 15 may also provided with one or more holes 21 able to receive one or more screws for effecting fixing onto the bone formation.

  • the precision of the connection is no longer left to the surgeon' s skill, but is instead ensured by modern industrial techniques involving precision mechanics .
  • the method according to the invention therefore envisages the use of a pick-up device as described above for preparation of the master model on which the dental element 3 can be formed in the laboratory.
  • a pick-up device as described above for preparation of the master model on which the dental element 3 can be formed in the laboratory.
  • the invention therefore envisages a first step involving mounting of the preformed abutments 26 together with the bases 27 shaped so as to fit precisely with the heads 6 of the fixture portions 4.
  • an intermediate structure 28 also of a pre-formed type may be arranged on top of the abutments 26.

  • the intermediate structure 28 incorporates within it, as one piece, also the abutments 26 which are joined together again by cross-members 30.
  • the difference between the two designs proposed in Figures 15 and 16 lies in the different type of endosseous element 2 which is to be fitted.
  • the cemented prosthesis shown in Figure 15 offer advantages in terms of strength and aesthetics compared to the screw prostheses shown in Figure 16.
  • the shaped capsules 29 of the cemented prostheses are connected to the abutments directly by means of a layer of cement and may contribute to the formation of the dental element 3 which is closed above, while the capsules 29 of the screwed prostheses always allow access above for unscrewing of the intermediate structure, by means of a metal island with a hole in the centre.
  • the intermediate structure 28 may be used directly to perform overcasting for support of the ceramic part, while still leaving a small channel for access to the screw. In this case there is a greater thickness of metal and the intermediate structure becomes more rigid and is less likely to be distorted during overcasting.
  • the remaining part of the process for forming the dental element 3 does not involve particular problems and may be realised in a fairly traditional manner, in particular by using a lost-wax overcasting method, resulting in the formation of a metal and ceramic capsule able to be rigidly joined to the intermediate structure 28.
  • An important advantage achieved by the implant and the method according to the invention consists in the fact that, with the multiple implants 1 thus formed, it is possible to achieve a very high primary stability which allows the fitting of a temporary dental element for immediate loading, having a base shaped so to fit with precision onto the heads 6 of the fixture portions 4.
  • the surgical method in question will also allow this latter operation to be performed in a very simple manner using a special guide 32 shown in detail in Figures 17 and 18.
  • This guide comprises a main body 33 provided with a connecting hole 34 able to receive a retaining screw 35 intended to removably fix the guide 32 inside the head 6 of the fixture portion 4 to be removed.
  • the guide 32 also has a second guide hole 36 which has an axis S inclined with respect to the axis R of the connecting hole 34 and forming with the latter an angle ⁇ of about 6 degrees .
  • a milling cutter can be inserted easily and in a guided manner inside the guide hole 36 such that it can reach the lateral part 10 of the beam portion 5 in order to cut and separate it from the remainder of the endosseous element 2 of the implant 1.
  • the second guide hole 36 has a cross-section widened in the form of an eyelet so as to allow movement of the milling cutter into several positions arranged alongside each other so as to allow complete cutting of the beam portion 5.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un implant dentaire multiple (1) constitué d'au moins un élément endo-osseux (2) pouvant être introduit dans une cavité osseuse spécialement conçue et d'au moins un élément dentaire (3) destiné à être fixé sur ledit élément endo-osseux. Ce dernier comprend deux parties de fixation (4) qui comportent respectivement, d'une part, une tête (6) pouvant être attachée à l'élément dentaire (3) au moyen d'un dispositif de fixation (7) et, d'autre part, une tige (8) soutenant la tête au niveau de la partie supérieure et possédant une forme allongée pratiquement tubulaire qui présente sur sa surface un dispositif de retenue (9) servant à exercer un scellement mécanique et une action ostéointégrante sur la formation osseuse. Ledit élément endo-osseux (2) comporte également une partie de faisceau (5) qui forme un corps unique avec les parties de fixation (4) et qui s'étend par le biais du lien rigide de leurs extrémités inférieures pratiquement dans une direction (Y) perpendiculaire à la direction d'extension (X) des parties de fixation individuelles (4).
