Arrangement for obtaining reliable anchoring of a threaded implant in bone

摘要

In an arrangement for obtaining reliable anchoring of a threaded implant (3) in dentine, a hole (2) is made in the bone substance. In the side wall (2b) of the hole it is possible to establish an internal threading which can cooperate with an external threading (3d) on the implant. The implant threading is arranged to force the bone substance out in essentially radial directions as a function of the extent to which the implant is screwed into the hole. The threading is arranged to effect greater forcing out of the bone substance at the outer parts of the hole than at the inner parts of the hole. The degree of forcing out is adapted in relation to the softness of the bone in order to achieve the reliable anchoring. Along at least part of the longitudinal direction of the implant, the implant threading can be given a non-circular configuration for the purpose of obtaining improved rotational stability in soft/weak bone. The implant can also have two or more thread spirals/thread entries which shorten the time for screwing the implant into the hole and additionally offer tight threading which permits effective integration with the bone substance during the healing-in process.

主权项

1. Threaded implant for obtaining reliable anchoring in bone substance, the bone substance being provided with a hole in whose side wall an internal threading may be established which can cooperate with an external threading on the implant for reliable anchoring and healing-in of the implant in the bone substance, wherein the implant threading is arranged to force the bone substance out in essentially radial directions as a function of the extent to which the implant is screwed into the hole, that the implant threading has a slight conicity which extends along most or part of the length of the implant and which cooperates with a circular cylindrical hole in the bone substance to effect greater forcing out of the bone substance at the outer parts of the hole than at the inner parts of the hole, the degree of forcing out being adapted in relation to the softness of the bone substance in order to achieve the reliable anchoring, and that said conical threading of the threading having the slight conicity comprises two or more thread spirals which provide a tight threading which permits effective integration with the bone substance during the healing-in process and counteracts deformation or breaking-up of fine bone trabeculae which surround the hole in the bone, wherein a tip portion of the implant is designed with a conical thread which has a conicity exceeding the conicity of the threading having the slight conicity, and
wherein the tip portion of the implant has a length or height of about 10-30% of the length of the threaded part of the implant.
