Definitions
- This invention relates to improvements in screw-type dental implants and, in particular, to reducing the friction between the main body of such an implant and the side walls of a bore provided in living jawbone when the implant is screwed into that bore.
- Screw-type dental implants are widely used and have been known for a number of years. They are made in two general types.
- the first type is a self-tapping implant, in that it can be threaded into a pre-drilled bore in a jawbone without pre-tapping the bore.
- the second type is a non-self-tapping implant that requires pre-tapping ofthe bore.
- the implant has a generally cylindrical main body which bears one or more external screw threads on its outer surface. These external thread(s) engage corresponding internal thread(s) cut into the wall ofthe bore to provide initial stabilization ofthe implant in the bore.
- a problem commonly encountered is the friction between the implant and the bone walls defining the bore.
- the friction is proportional to the penetration depth ofthe implant into the bone, the diameter ofthe bore, and the hardness ofthe bone at the site ofthe bore.
- the torque that must be applied to insert the implant into the bore is proportional to the friction.
- High torque puts strains on the implant, on the tools used to place the implant in the bore, and on the bone.
- there is a greater risk of damage to the implant, the tools, and the bone Consequently, there is a continuing need to design a screw-type dental implant which minimizes the torque needed to install it into living jawbone.
- the main body of the implant is generally cylindrical.
- the thread peaks and thread roots (troughs) are each on the locus of a cylinder with each cylinder being concentric about the cylinder axis ofthe main body.
- Another object ofthe invention is to provide an improved screw-type dental implant that reduces the torque required to install the implant by reducing the friction between the implant and the sidewalls ofthe bore.
- a related object is to reduce the time and effort required to install the implant.
- An additional object ofthe invention is to provide an improved screw-type dental implant that will resist forces tending to unscrew it from the bore after it has been installed.
- an improved screw-type dental implant comprising a generally cylindrical body having a threaded outer surface for securing the implant to the walls of a preformed hole in a jawbone.
- At least one dimensional characteristic ofthe body is varied with respect to its azimuthal position around the cylinder axis so as reduce the overall frictional contact between the implant body and the walls ofthe bore during installation ofthe implant.
- the variance in this dimensional characteristic also serves to resist turning ofthe body in the bore after the bone in the side walls ofthe bore has grown onto the implant body in the normal healing process.
- Examples of such a dimensional characteristic include: a) the radius ofthe locus ofthe peaks ofthe threads; b) the radius ofthe locus ofthe troughs ofthe threads; c) thickness ofthe threads; and d) angle between the faces of the " threads.
- An embodiment of he invention may employ these and other characteristics variably according to the invention, singly or in combination with one or more ofthe others.
- the variation employed can be cyclical or random around the cylinder axis. It can be synchronous or it can progress or regress with respect to the axis as its proceeds along the axis from one end ofthe body toward the other end.
- the invention may provide an implant in which some portions of (for example) the peaks or troughs ofthe threads are on the original cylinder lacking the varied radius while other portions ofthe same characteristic are within that cylinder so that they make less or no contact with the walls ofthe hole.
- This design has two effects. First, by reducing the area of implant body that makes contact with the walls ofthe bore, the friction between the implant and the bone during installation ofthe implant is reduced. And second, after the bone has grown during healing to touch the implant body around the irregular (non-circular) portions thereof, the implant body resists turning in the bone more than would a typical implant having a cylindrical body lacking the radial-dimension variations ofthe invention.
- the main body is modified to a non-circular cross-sectional shape having four lobes equally spaced around the cylinder axis.
- the lobes are aligned parallel to the cylinder axis, and the implant has a tapered end section with four self-tapping cutting edges spaced equally around the cylinder axis substantially in line with the lobes.

- FIG 1 illustrates an implant 10 which inco ⁇ orates the present design
- the implant
- a sectional line 2-2 is a helical section line in that it is taken along the trough between two adjacent threads 14 This section is shown in FIG 2
- the main body 12 ofthe implant 10 has a non-circular shape as seen transverse to the longitudinal axis A-A (FIG 2), with external threads 14 having peak diameters in a cylindrical locus 16
- the non-circular shape has four lobes 12a, 12b, 12c and 12d arrayed symmetrically around the axis A-A
- the non-circular shape can be a variety of shapes including rhombic or rhomboidal One of these lobes, 12a, defines the troughs of the threads 14 which are on the main body 12, shown in FIG.
- the threads 14 may be cut with a tool such as the tool 30 shown in FIG. 5, which has a shape that can be pushed into the main body 12 as it is turned in a lathe according to a cyclical pattern to form the alternating lobes and dwell regions.
- this tool 30 is pushed into the main body 12 far enough to form a dwell region, the threads 14 are made thinner in the region ofthe larger pitch diameter 18 as compared with the thread shape formed when the tool is pushed into a shallower depth to form a lobe.
- the pitch diameter 18 ofthe threads 14 shown in FIG. 3 is larger than the pitch diameter 20 ofthe deeper threads shown in FIG. 4.
- the illustrated dental implant 10 has a tapered end part 40 wherein both the peaks and the troughs ofthe threads 14b taper on respective substantially conical loci toward the extreme end 42 ofthe main body 12.
- This tapered end part 40 is fitted with four self- tapping cutting means arrayed symmetrically around the axis A-A, of which only one 44 is shown in FIG. 3. As is apparent in FIG. 3, each cutting means is aligned with one ofthe lobes 12a-d, respectively, and therefore with the larger pitch diameter. This relationship is schematically illustrated in FIG. 6.
- FIG. 7 illustrates the benefits derived from the present invention in graphical form.
- the dashed line (1) shows the torque of a 6.0 mm diameter implant which does not inco ⁇ orate the present invention as it is screwed into a test fixture. The torque reaches nearly 60 Nxcm.
- the darker solid line (2) is a 6.0 mm diameter implant utilizing the present invention shown in FIGS. 1-6.
- the peak torque is approximately 40 Nxcm, which is substantially less than dashed line (1).
- the thin solid line (3) is the torque required for a smaller 3.75 mm diameter implant that does not inco ⁇ orate the design ofthe present invention.
- the peak torque for the 6.0 mm implant inco ⁇ orating the present invention is similar to the torque requirement for the much smaller 3.75mm implant.
- the rate at which the torque of darker line (2) increases is gradual making installation easier.
- FIG. 7 A further note concerning FIG. 7 is that the maximum torque for the machine screwing the implants into the test fixture was set at approximately 60 Nxcm.
- the 6.0 mm implant without the present invention, dashed line (1) could not be fully screwed into the test fixture with this limit on the torque. Consequently, the quick fall in dashed line (1) indicates the time at which the machine reached its torque limit.
- the fall in the darker solid line (2) indicates the point of full installation. Because the number of threads per inch on both 6.0 mm specimens was the same, the time at which both 6.0 mm specimens should have reached the desired full-installation point should have been the same since the revolutions per minute ofthe machine in each test were the same. Thus, because solid line (2) drops off about at twice the time as dashed line (1), the implant lacking the claimed invention was only capable of being inserted about half the desired installation depth into the test fixture.
- FIG. 8 illustrates a typical implant 110" which may inco ⁇ orate an alternative embodiment ofthe present design.
- the implant 110" has a main body 112' with external threads 114 ' .
- FIG. 9 illustrates the details ofthe alternative embodiment ofthe present invention on the threads 114 ofthe implant 110.
- the top portion ofthe implant 110' in FIG. 9 has a slightly different configuration than the top portion ofthe implant 1 10 in FIG. 8.
- the alternative embodiment ofthe present invention relates to the threads 1 14 and can be inco ⁇ orated on any implant regardless ofthe configuration at its top.
- a sectional line 11-11 in FIG. 9 is a helical section line in that it is taken along the trough between two adjacent threads 1 14 as it spirals up the implant 110. This section is shown in FIG. 11.
- the main body 1 12 ofthe implant 110 has a non-circular shape as seen transverse to the longitudinal axis A-A, with external threads 114 having major diameters in a cylindrical locus 116.
- Four lobes 111 are arrayed symmetrically around the axis A-A with peak minor diameters I l ia, 111b, 111c, and 11 Id following along locus 117. Between the lobes 111 are four equally-spaced dwell regions 113 ofthe main body 112.
- a drop region 115 is located between each peak minor diameter 11 la-11 Id and each adjacent dwell region 1 13. In the dwell region 1 13, the distance "D" represents the spacing between the body 1 12 ofthe implant 1 10 and the surface ofthe bone tissue.
- FIG. 10 illustrates three vertically adjacent threads 1 14 unrolled from the implant 110 and the troughs therebetween.
- the peak minor diameter 11 la is shown with the drop regions 115 on either side.
- the dwell regions 113 are shown adjacent the drop regions 115.
- the major diameter ofthe threads 114 lies on a surface 119b.
- the shape of surface 119a depends on the structure and depth ofthe drop regions 115 and the lobes 111.
- Angles X and Z in FIG. 11 represent the angular position over which drop regions
- angles X and Z are the same value. In a preferred embodiment, angles X and Z are approximately 22.5° while angle Y is approximately 45° such that the summation of angles X, Y, and Z is substantially 90°. If only three lobes were employed, then the summation of angles X, Y and Z would be substantially 120° if the lobes were symmetrically spaced.
- FIGS. 12, 13, and 14 illustrate the cross-section through lines 12-12, 13-13, and 14-14, respectively, in FIG. 11.
- the troughs defined by dwell regions 113 in FIG. 14 are deeper than the troughs defined by the lobe 111 c in FIG. 12.
- the troughs defined in the drop region 115 (FIG. 13) have depth that is between the depths ofthe troughs ofthe lobe 111c and the dwell regions 113.
- the peak diameters ofthe threads 114 along cylindrical locus 116 are the same in FIGS. 12, 13, and 14. Thus, although the threads 114 are cut deeper in the dwell region 113 illustrated in FIG. 14 than they are cut in the region ofthe lobe 111c illustrated in FIG. 12 or the drop region 115 in FIG. 13, the major diameter of the threads 114 does not change.
- the threads 114 may be cut with a tool such as the tool 130 shown in FIG. 15, which has a shape that can be pushed into the main body 112 as it is turned in a lathe according to a cyclical pattern to form the alternating lobes 111, drop regions 115, and dwell regions 113.
- this tool 130 is pushed into the main body 112 far enough to form a dwell region 113, the threads 114 are made thinner near their major diameter than when the tool 130 is pushed in a short distance to form lobes 111.
- the pitch diameters 118, 120, and 122 (and pitch radii) ofthe threads 114 shown in FIGS. 12, 13, and 14 become progressively smaller.
- pitch radius Rl (FIG.
- the illustrated dental implant 110' has a tapered end part 140 (FIG. 8) wherein both the peaks and the troughs ofthe threads taper on respective substantially conical loci toward the extreme end 142 (FIG. 8) ofthe main body 112' .
- This tapered end part 140 is fitted with four self-tapping cutting means arrayed symmetrically around the axis A-A, of which one 44 is shown in FIG. 16. As is apparent in FIG.
- each cutting means is aligned with one ofthe lobes 111 and, therefore, with the larger pitch diameter.
- the lobes 111 can be misaligned from the self-tapping cutting means.
- angles X, Y, and Z are shown having a summation that is substantially 90°.
- the summation of these angles which dictates the angular position between adjacent lobes 1 1 1, could be greater than or less than 90°.
- the lobes 111 may spiral in the same direction as the spiraling ofthe threads 114, or in a direction that is opposite the spiraling ofthe threads 1 14.
- the angle representing the summation of angles X, Y, and Z increases or decreases from 90°, the more profound the spiraling ofthe lobes 1 11 will be.
- the major diameter ofthe threads 1 14 can be recessed as well in the dwell region 113. This is accomplished by inserting the tool further toward the axis A-A of implant 110 shown in FIG. 14. Thus, the cylindrical locus 1 16 (FIG. 1 1) ofthe major diameter ofthe threads 114 would be altered to a non-cylindrical locus.
- the tool used to develop the troughs between two vertically adjacent threads can also be rounded such as the rounded tool 160 in FIG. 17.
- the area between two vertically adjacent threads would be defined by rounded sides ofthe threads instead ofthe flat sides ofthe threads 114 shown in FIGS. 12-14.
- the tool can also have offset cutting regions which cause the lobe to be cut at a different circumferential position near one side of a thread than at the opposing side ofthe vertically adjacent thread which forms the trough.
- the lobes 111 may only be located on portions ofthe implant 110 or the amount of relief, defined by distance "D" in the dwell region 113, may be reduced.
- distance "D" may be an acceptable distance across which the cancellous bone may grow.
- the implant 110 inco ⁇ orating this invention may have its surface treated by acid etching and/or grit blasting.
