BLOCK FOR PRODUCING INDIVIDUAL ROOT POST FLANGES FOR DENTAL IMPLANTOLOGY AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A PERSONALISED ROOT POST FLANGE FOR DENTAL IMPLANTOLOGY
The invention relates to a block for producing personalised root post flanges for dental implantology and to a method for producing a personalised root post flange for dental implantology, of the type that can be screwed onto a previously osseointegrated implant, normally in an incorrect position, and over which aesthetic material can be directly placed, providing the dental part with shape and colour, without having to apply a dental crown over the root post flange. Said block is characterised in that it has a structure that allows the selection of the mouth angle required for the channel used for the insertion of the screw for fixing to the implant.
1 . A block for producing personalised root post flanges for dental implantology to be screwed onto a dental implant comprising:
a cylindrical body (CC) with an axial axis (e),
a connection base (B 1 ) on the bottom part of the cylindrical body with an inner channel to connect to the dental implant, and an axial axis coinciding with said cylindrical body (CC),
an inner machining (AT) which determines the seat of the fixing screw head for screwing the block to the dental implant,
a gripping protrusion (C 1 ) to fasten the block to the base of a machine and enable the outer machining thereof,
and further comprising a blind vertical channel section (A 1 ) after the seat of the fixing screw head (AT), the axis of the blind channel section (A 1 ) coinciding with the axial axis (e) of the cylindrical body (CC).
2 . The block according to claim 1 , wherein the length of the blind vertical channel section is variable and depends on the length of the fixing screw and the type of connection required by the implant.
3 . The block according to claim 1 , wherein the inner machining (AT) which determines the seat of the fixing screw head is placed between the end of the blind vertical channel section (A 1 ) and the connection base (B 1 ).
4 . The block according to claim 1 , wherein the cylindrical body (CC) has a diameter between 12 and 25 mm and a height between 10 and 25 mm.
5 . A method for producing a personalised root post flange for dental implantology, comprising:
a design phase, wherein, based on the block according to claim 1 , the trajectory and angle are calculated and defined with respect to the axial axis (e) of a through channel (CP) located between the end of the blind vertical channel section (A 1 ) and the outer shape of said block is also defined, all based on the conditioning factors of the installed implant,
a machining phase, wherein said block is machined by means of the machining of said through channel (CP) between the end of the blind vertical channel section (A 1 ) and the outer portion of the block to allow for the passage of the screw for fixing to the implant, thus communicating the end of the blind vertical channel section (A 1 ) with the outer portion of the block (CC), in accordance with the definition made in the design phase, and
an additional machining phase, wherein the outer portion of the block is machined in accordance with the definition made in the design phase.
6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the through channel (CP) is machined at an angle with respect to the axis (e) of the end of the blind vertical channel section (A 1 ) from 0° to 40°.
7 . The method, according to claim 5 , wherein the two previously described machining phases are carried out at the same time.
8 . The method, according to claim 5 , is the method carried out by means of CAD/CAM.
