Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a stopper for a cutting tool, which is used for a cutting tool such as a drill having a rotary shaft or a root canal cutting tool. The stopper is for restricting a cutting depth and making an idea of a cutting depth.
- 2. Description of the Conventional Art
- As for a conventional dental prosthesis in a defective tooth, a method using a bridge and a method using a base denture have been generally done. However, the method using a bridge includes the steps of cutting healthy natural teeth on both sides of a defective tooth to make abutment teeth, engaging a metal body with the abutment teeth, and fixing the metal body, where the metal body is attached to a dental prosthesis positioned at the defective tooth. Thus, engaging parts to make abutment teeth should be provided, where these abutment teeth are made by cutting healthy natural teeth. Further, since occlusal force ordinarily applied on a defective tooth is shared by abutment teeth, there is a problem that the life of natural teeth as abutment teeth is largely shortened. As for the method using a base denture, a dental prosthesis is made by fixing an artificial tooth made of a resin or ceramics on a base made of a synthetic resin. However, as for this method, the occlusal force applied on a dental prosthesis should be shared by remaining natural teeth and/or oral mucosae. Thus, there is an uncomfortable feeling while using a dental prosthesis, and taste of a patient becomes blunt because a denture base covers taste receptors dispersed in an oral mucosal tissue. Further, there are important fault that an alveolar ridge may be absorbed by using the denture base for a long period of time.
- As for a treatment method to solve such faults, a dental implant technique is developed. The dental implant technique includes the steps of embedding an implant fixture as a maintaining and stabilizing device for a dental prosthesis into an embedding hole formed in a jawbone at a defective tooth, making the implant fixture to execute the function of a dental root in a natural teeth, connecting and fixing a fixing device for a dental prosthesis at the oral cavity inner side of the implant fixture to make a dental prosthesis maintaining device, and fixing a dental prosthesis to the dental prosthesis maintaining device.
- In this implant treatment, it is important to correctly form a hole, in which a fixture is embedded, at a jawbone. Therefore, Unexamined Japanese Patent Publication No. 2005-518834, for example, discloses a method including the steps of taking a tomogram of a jawbone of a patent into a computer, producing a surgical template, in which an embedding direction of a fixture is previously determined and a hole specifying the embedding direction of the fixture is formed based on data correctly simulating complete states of a prosthesis including the fixture, attaching the surgical template into an oral cavity of a patient, and using a drill corresponding to the direction of the hole formed in the surgical template. At this time, a direction of the embedding hole is specified with the surgical template and depth of the embedding hole is specified with a flange shaped stopper integrally formed with a rotary shaft of a cutting drill.
- However, it is necessary to use a flanged cutting tool in order to carry out the above-described treatment. Thus, many dentists who own a cutting tool having no stopper at a rotary shaft need to newly purchase a cutting tool corresponding to various kinds of cutting depths.
- An objective of the present invention is to provide a stopper for a cutting tool by which a treatment using a surgical template can be carried out with a conventional cutting tool having no a stopper at a rotary shaft.
- Present inventors carried out earnest works to solve the above-described problems and, as a result, they found out the followings to complete the present invention. By supplying only a stopper separately from a cutting tool, a treatment using a surgical template can be carried with a conventional cutting tool having no stopper at a rotary shaft. Further, they noted that a surgical cutting tool is certainly heated and sterilized before using it. When a shape memory material which recovers a shape at a temperature for heating and sterilizing is used for a stopper for a cutting tool, the stopper for a cutting tool can be strongly fixed to a rotary shaft of the cutting tool after heating and sterilizing it.
- That is, an aspect of the present invention is a stopper for a cutting tool to be fitted to a rotary shaft of a cutting tool having the rotary shaft. The stopper includes a locking member which has a through hole contacting to the rotary shaft of the cutting tool, and a clamping member which is made of a shape memory material, is provided at the inner and/or outer sides of the locking member and can deform the locking member by its shape recovering force. The stopper further includes a cutout part reaching to the through hole from an outer peripheral edge in the longitudinal direction of the rotary shaft.
- A stopper for a cutting tool according to the present invention can make a conventional cutting tool having no stopper at a rotary shaft to carry out a treatment using a surgical template. Further, the stopper is an excellent one which hardly cause positional shift even when using a cutting drill or a dental root cutting tool.

stopper 1 for a cutting tool according to the present invention inFIG. 1 is, for example, fitted to arotary shaft 2 a of acutting tool 2 illustrated inFIG. 2 and used. Thecutting tool 2 is not limited especially if having a drill shape and including a rotary shaft, and thecutting tool 2 may have or may not have a cutting edge at the rotary shaft. - The
stopper 1 for a cutting tool according to the present invention includes alocking member 1 a having a throughhole 1 aa contacting to therotary shaft 2 a, and includes aclamping member 1 b, which is made of a shape memory material, provided at the inner and/or outer sides of thelocking member 1 a, and can deform thelocking member 1 a by its shape recovering force. Thestopper 1 further includes acutout part 1 ab reaching to the throughhole 1 aa from an outer peripheral edge in the longitudinal direction of therotary shaft 2 a. - The
locking member 1 a is used so as to surround therotary shaft 2 a of thecutting tool 2. A shape of thelocking member 1 a is not limited especially if having the throughhole 1 aa contacting therotary shaft 2 a and having thecutout part 1 ab. As for a disk-shaped stopper for a cutting tool illustrated inFIGS. 1 , 3 and 4, thethrough hole 1 aa having a slightly larger diameter than an outer diameter of therotary shaft 2 a is formed in thelocking member 1 a. - The
locking member 1 a is fitted to therotary shaft 2 a by a clampingpart 2 described below. As for thestopper 1 for a cutting tool according to the present invention, theclamping member 1 b having a shape memory ability is recovered to clamp a rotary shaft by utilizing the heat at a temperature for heating and sterilizing (about 130° C.). Thus, a material of thelocking member 1 a is not limited especially if surrounding therotary shaft 2 a of thecutting tool 2, for example, resin material or metal material. Preferably a flexible resin material having high thermal resistance. For example, this material includes polypropylene, polycarbonate, polyarylate, polysulfone, polyphenylene sulfide, polyether etherketone, a polyimide resin, and a fluororesin. Particularly, polyamide imide and polyether etherketone are preferable because of having thermal resistance at 250° C. or more. - The
clamping member 1 b is made of a shape memory material. Plural numbers of theclamping members 1 b may be provided inside thelocking member 1 a as illustrated inFIG. 5 . Theclamping member 1 b may be fitted and fixed on the outer side of thelocking member 1 a so as to surround thelocking member 1 a as illustrated inFIGS. 1 and 3 . Further, theclamping member 1 b may be fitted to a groove formed at an outer edge of thelocking member 1 as illustrated inFIG. 4 . In all cases, theclamping member 1 b is provided so as to surround therotary shaft 2 a. - The
clamping member 1 b deforms thelocking member 1 a by its shape recovering force. The clampingmember 1 b makes thestopper 1 for a cutting tool fit to therotary shaft 2 through the lockingmember 1, by being given a memory that a portion contacting a rotary shaft of the lockingmember 1 a shrinks to be a smaller circle than the outer periphery of the rotary shaft and recovering the portion to have the shape of the memory by heating at the time of sterilizing. The clampingmember 1 b is preferably a shape memory alloy having a shape recovering temperature of about 50 to 100° C. - A stopper for a cutting tool according to the present invention includes a
cutout part 1 ab reaching to the throughhole 1 aa from an outer peripheral edge thereof in the longitudinal direction of therotary shaft 2 a of thecutting tool 2. The lockingmember 1 a is deformed by the shape recovering force of the clampingmember 1 b so as to lose thecutout part 1 ab, and then the stopper for a cutting tool is fitted to therotary shaft 2 a. Thecutout part 1 ab may be straight in the longitudinal direction of therotary shaft 2 a of thecutting tool 2 as illustratedFIGS. 1 , and 3 to 5, may be inclined with respect to therotary shaft 2 a, may be in a crank shape, or may be in a wavy shape (these states are not illustrated). - One example of a stopper for a cutting tool according to the present invention is in a disk shape as illustrated in
FIGS. 1 and 4 . The stopper includes a throughhole 1 aa in a lockingmember 1 a, and acutout part 1 ab reaching to the throughhole 1 aa. By this example, a cutting depth of a cutting tool can be correctly got. Another example is a stopper for a cutting tool which is formed in a washer shape or a coil shape as the whole with using a locking member to surround therotary shaft 2 a and using a shape memory material on the outer side of the locking member (this example is not illustrated). - Another example is a cylindrical stopper for a cutting tool including a
flange part 1 c at one end, a throughhole 1 aa, and acutout part 1 ab reaching to the throughhole 1 aa, as illustrated inFIG. 5 . In this case, the stopper can be certainly fitted to therotary shaft 2 a of thecutting tool 2, and can get a correct cutting depth by theflange part 1 c. - As for a using method of a stopper for a cutting tool according to the present invention, a stopper illustrated in
FIGS. 1 , or 3 to 5 is used by the steps of previously expanding thecutout part 1 ab so as to deform it to have a sufficiently larger shape than the outer periphery of therotary shaft 2 a in order to easily attach the throughhole 1 aa of thestopper 1 for a cutting tool to a predetermined position of therotary shaft 2 a, determining a depth of a cutting tool, deforming thecutout part 1 ab by an operator (closing the cutout part by the easiest way), temporarily fixing the stopper for a cutting tool to therotary shaft 2 a by using a pliers or a specific tool, and carrying out a sterilizing treatment at a temperature of about 80 to 150° C. in a heating and sterilizing apparatus such as an autoclave or a dryness oven according to an ordinary method before using the cutting tool. After the sterilizing treatment, since thestopper 1 for a cutting tool is certainly fitted to therotary shaft 2 a by the recovering force of theshape memory material 1 b, the position of the stopper is not easily shifted at the time of using. After using the cutting tool, the stopper for a cutting tool is removed from the rotary shaft by deforming by a pliers or a specific tool, washed, and stored until the next time. - A stopper for a cutting tool according to the present invention can be used for a stopper conventionally used to restrict a cutting depth, e.g., a dental root canal cutting tool, in addition to a cutting drill for an implant.
