Description

Dental implant cleaning appliance

The present invention enables to clean various foreign substances including dental plaque sticking to the surface of the implant after the dental implant procedure while minimizing gum wound, and at the same time, when the cleaning tool for cleaning the implant is damaged or needs to be replaced. The present invention relates to a dental implant cleaning device which can be used interchangeably.

In general, an implant refers to a substitute for restoring lost human tissue, and in dentistry, a fixture is buried and bonded to the alveolar bone where the natural root is removed so as to replace the lost root (root). It means a substitute to fix the tooth to restore the original function of the tooth.

After a dental implant is buried in the gums, chemical or biological contaminants, such as food debris or the like, may be contaminated on or around the implant, which may contaminate the surface of or around the implant. Is called. If the infection is left untreated, the infection can spread throughout the alveolar bone. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the infecting material adhering to the surface of the implant.

However, in order to promote the bone adhesion of the implant, the infectious material must be entangled with the coating applied on the surface of the implant, resulting in simultaneous removal of the surface coating material and the infectious material of the implant. Up to now, the infectious material has been mainly removed by chemical methods (drug injection, etc.), but the mechanical cleaning is performed because there are many limitations in chemical cleaning.

Conventional first embodiment of the mechanical cleaning is disclosed in Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2012-0050378 as shown in Figure 1, the configuration of the removal brush 10 is a chuck 11 is fixed to the chuck of the handpiece ) Is provided at one end, and the sole 15 is provided at the other end to remove foreign substances such as tartar, inflammatory tissue or bacteria generated around the dental or dental implant while being rotated by the driving force of the handpiece.

The sole part 15 is composed of a plurality of bristles 17 formed around the handle 16 and the handle 16 extending to protrude along the central axis at the end of the other end.

In addition, the removal brush 10 is the chuck is mounted on the handpiece and pushed to a suitable depth between the dental implant and the gum. At this time, the gum is swollen by foreign substances such as tartar, inflammatory tissue or bacteria, and the alveolar bone is damaged and absorbed.

The removal brush 10 pushed into a suitable depth is rotated at a high speed or a low speed in the direction of the arrow to remove foreign substances attached to or attached to the implant, gum or alveolar bone.

Conventional removal brush having the above-described configuration was not only inconvenient to remove the foreign matter, but also time-consuming because the operator has to remove the foreign matter while moving the brush carefully along the implant surface.

Recently, in order to solve the above problems, there is a dental implant cleaning apparatus (Korean Patent No. 10-1477496) as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.

In addition, the conventional cleaning mechanism has a plurality of elastic support legs 21 are formed at regular intervals so as to form a shape surrounding the surface of the implant (10), so the friction on the gum during the implant cleaning a lot of scratches severely There are many problems that occur and the resulting side effects.

In addition, the conventional cleaning mechanism is the elastic support by the rotation while the shape of the plurality of elastic support legs 21 made of a thin pin shape by rotation during the implant cleaning operation is deformed or rotated in close contact with the implant Since the legs 21 are slid in the rotational direction, the cleaning tip 22 does not make accurate contact with the surface of the implant 10 and thus the cleaning is not effectively performed and only the gums are damaged.

The conventional cleaning mechanism as described above has a problem that the cleaning power of the implant is lowered, the wound of the gum is generated a lot and there is a risk of infection.

The present invention has been invented to solve the above conventional problems, the object is,

Hereinafter, a dental implant cleaning apparatus according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in Figures 4 to 5, the dental implant cleaning device of the present invention, the shank 110 is to be mounted on the upper portion of the main body 100 to be mounted on a handpiece (not shown) generally used in dentistry generally The lower surface is provided with a coupling groove 120 in which the upper portion of the cleaning device 200 is seated and coupled, and a coupling hole 130 is formed in the center of the coupling groove 120.

At this time, the shape of the main body 100 is preferably formed in a circular shape, but may be formed in a polygon as necessary.

In addition, the coupling groove 120 is formed so as to cross the other end from one end of the lower surface central portion of the main body 100, such a coupling groove 120 toward the main body 100 from the lower surface of the main body 100 Processed to form stepped to form.

The reason for this is to firmly seat and couple the upper upper fixing portion 210 of the cleaning device 200 described below to maintain a stable bonding force.

The cleaning device 200 coupled to the coupling groove 120 of the main body 100 includes an upper fixing part 210 having a piece hole 240 formed at a central portion thereof, as shown in FIG. 6, and the upper fixing part 210. It consists of a plate-shaped support 220 and the cleaning tip 230 formed in the lower portion of the support 220 formed in the same length facing each other downward on both sides of the, the cleaning tip 230 is the end of the implant surface It is contacted and formed to be bent inwardly to allow cleaning.

In this case, the angle of the cleaning tip 230 is bent in the inner direction is preferably formed in a direction that the cleaning tips face each other, that is, the reason is that the outer surface of the implant and the end of the cleaning tip 230 in close contact This is to clean (clean) the foreign matter of the implant, and if the bending angle of the cleaning tip 230 forms an obtuse angle, there is a problem of not cleaning (cleaning) the foreign matter of the implant and damaging only the gums.

The bending angle, that is, the range of the acute angle of the cleaning tip 230 may be from a maximum of 90 ° to a minimum of 10 ° as shown in FIG. 13. Since the contact force between the tip and the outer surface of the implant is insignificant, a problem occurs that the cleaning efficiency of the implant is reduced, so that the bending angle, that is, the acute angle range of the cleaning tip 230 should be maintained at least 10 °.

On the other hand, the combination of the main body 100 and the cleaning device 200, after the upper fixing portion 210 of the cleaning device 200 is seated and coupled to the coupling groove 120 of the main body 100 piece 300 It is made to penetrate the piece hole 240 by using the coupling to the coupling hole 130.

The piece 300 is coupled to the coupling hole 130 through the piece hole 240 at the bottom surface of the upper fixing part 210 and at the same time, the upper part fixing part 300 is released as necessary. 210 may be separated from the coupling groove 120.

The reason for disassembling the body 100 and the cleaning device 200 by separating the upper fixing part 210 from the coupling groove 120 as described above, the cleaning device 200 is damaged and needs to be replaced with a new cleaning device, Or cleaning and disinfection of the cleaning device (200) and the body (100). This is to make it easy and easy when the damaged cleaning equipment needs to be corrected.

Since the upper fixing part 210 is formed in a plate shape having a shape corresponding to the defect groove 120 and is seated and coupled to the defect groove 120, it prevents the flow from occurring during use, that is, during the implant cleaning operation, thereby ensuring stable cleaning. It becomes possible.

In addition, the support 220 is a plate-shaped formed downwardly longer than the length of the cleaning tip 230, a predetermined length, the width of the cleaning tip 230 formed on the lower end of the support 220 is not particularly limited, but preferably the implant It is good to have a width of 1/3 to 1/2 of the outer diameter.

The reason for this is that if the width of the cleaning tip 230 exceeds 1/2 of the outer diameter of the implant, some of the opposite ends of the mutually opposite cleaning tips 230 must overlap, that is, the cleaning tip 230 and the implant outer surface. This is because the close contact with the implant is not made and the implant volume is insufficient.

In addition, the support 220 and the cleaning tip 230 is a plate-shaped reason, in order to clean the implant, the end of the cleaning tip 230 is in close contact with the implant and then rotate the support 220 and cleaning tip 230 This is to increase the implant cleaning efficiency by firmly positioned in the original position without being oriented in the rotation direction.

On the other hand, the implant cleaning mechanism that rotates by the driving force of the handpiece to clean the implant is to expand the damage range of the gum while the left / right side end of the support 220 friction with the gum, in order to minimize such gum damage The support 220 and the cleaning tip 230 forming the cleaning tool 200 of the present invention to the arc surrounding the implant by forming the support 220 and cleaning tip 230 of the arc to minimize damage to the gums will be.

Ends of the cleaning tip 230 may be formed and used in various shapes, each of the embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 5, the end of the cleaning tip 230 is formed in a '-' shape, or the end of the cleaning tip 230 is formed in a '＼' shape as shown in FIG. 7, or FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, the end end of the cleaning tip 230 is

'Shaped, or as shown in Figure 10 the end end of the cleaning tip 230'

'May be formed in a shape, or as shown in FIG. 11, the end of the cleaning tip 230 may have a sharp unevenness.

5 is the most preferred embodiment of the present invention formed in the end of the cleaning tip 230 of Figure 5 in the '-' shape,

The tip end of the cleaning tip 230 of FIG. 7 is formed in a '＼' shape, and the inclination angle of the '＼' shape is downwardly and easily cleaned along the screw at an angle corresponding to the rotation angle of the implant screw (IS). To do it,

9, the end of the cleaning tip 230 of FIG.

'When you wrap the outside of the implant in a shape to clean the implant,

10, the end of the cleaning tip 230 of FIG.

In shape

'' Both ends and central projections of the shape make friction with the outside of the implant to clean the implant,

The reason why the tip of the cleaning tip 230 of FIG. 11 forms sharp unevenness is that each iron causes friction with the outside of the implant to clean the implant.

In addition, in the dental implant cleaning device of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the width of the lower side of the support on which the cleaning tip 230 is formed is wider than the upper width thereof to form the support 220. In addition to increasing the firmness of the 220, the contact area between the implant and the cleaning tip may be improved to improve the cleaning efficiency of the implant.

And the bending angle of the cleaning tip 230 formed on the lower portion of the support 220 may be up to 90 ° to at least 10 ° in the inner direction, that is, acute angle as shown in FIG. 12 and 13, the cleaning tip 230 is preferably formed to have a width corresponding to a lower width of the wide support 220.

Further, in the present invention, '양' shapes are formed on both sides of the coupling groove 120 around the coupling hole 130, and the '⌒' shapes are formed on both sides of the upper fixing part 210 around the piece hole 240. This is formed to face each other, because the upper fixing portion 210 is inserted into the coupling hole 130 to maintain a strong coupling force so that the cleaning device 200 does not flow.

In addition, both sides of the upper fixing part 210 around the piece hole 240 of the present invention are formed to face each other, and the reason is to prevent fragility around the piece hole 240.

And the material of the cleaning device 200 is preferably made of a metal material having an elastic force, because the cleaning device 200 is prevented from being deformed or damaged when rotated to clean the implant, and at the same time, It is to be able to return to the original position after deformation.

The dental implant cleaning device of the present invention as described above improves the cleaning power when cleaning the surface of the dental implant, minimizes damage to the gums when cleaning the dental implant, and the service life of the dental implant cleaning device. By reducing the cost and by allowing the main body and the cleaning device to be decomposed and combined, there is an advantage that can be easily and easily cunning when the cleaning device needs to be replaced.
