Abstract

A one-piece dental implant guide pack based on photocuring molding includes: a guide socket for receiving a photosensitive resin at an outer edge of the guide socket, adjusting and positioning the guide socket by the photosensitive resin which is curable by light; a guide slot formed at a side edge of the guide socket, and having a receiving portion at the bottom; a positioning shaft, having a positioning part and a shaft, and the positioning part being socketed into the guide socket, and the shaft penetrating to the bottom of the guide socket; and at least one positioning part, with an end connected to the guide socket and another end connected to and positioning the positioning shaft. This disclosure facilitates the drilling process of subsequent operations and improves the convenience and accuracy of the implant guide plate and the accuracy of the dental implant surgery.

Claims (11)

1 . A one-piece dental implant guide pack based on photocuring molding, comprising:

a guide socket, the guide socket receiving a photosensitive resin at an outer edge thereof, and the photosensitive resin being cured by light and being configured to adjustably position the guide socket with respect to a tooth mold, and the guide socket being tubular shaped and being formed with an opening at at least at a top thereof, and two opposing guide slots are formed on two opposing respective opened side edges of the guide socket for communicating with the opening, and a bottom portion of each of the two opposing guide slots is formed with a receiving portion;

a positioning shaft formed with a cap part and a shaft and being socketed into the guide socket, and the shaft penetrating the guide socket to extend through an opened bottom thereof, wherein a diameter of the cap part is greater than a diameter of the shaft, the positioning shaft being further formed with a receiving element extending radially from the shaft to terminate below a surface of the receiving portion of each of the two opposing guide slots, and a connecting part is formed between a bottom surface of each receiving portion and a corresponding top section of the receiving element for extending parallelly with respect to the shaft, and wherein the receiving element is disk shaped; and

at least one positioning part disposed within the guide socket to extend radially between a tubular wall section thereof and the cap part of the positioning shaft for stably positioning the positioning shaft with respect to the guide socket.

2 . The one-piece dental implant guide pack based on photocuring molding according to claim 1 , wherein the guide socket further includes at least one positioning element disposed at the outer edge thereof.

3 . The one-piece dental implant guide pack based on photocuring molding according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one positioning element is convex arc shaped.

4 . The one-piece dental implant guide pack based on photocuring molding according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one positioning element includes multiple positioning elements, and the multiple positioning elements are arranged in an array at the outer edge of the guide socket.

5 . The one-piece dental implant guide pack based on photocuring molding according to claim 1 , wherein the guide socket is round tubular shaped.

6 . The one-piece dental implant guide pack based on photocuring molding according to claim 1 , wherein the cap part of the positioning shaft is round tabular shaped.

7 . The one-piece dental implant guide pack based on photocuring molding according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one positioning part is stripe shaped.

8 . The one-piece dental implant guide pack based on photocuring molding according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one positioning part extends to a portion of the tubular wall section of the guide socket located adjacent to the guide slot and further extends to a side edge of the cap part of the positioning shaft.
