Abstract

Provided is a guide pin for dental implant surgery, providing guidance so that a practitioner easily determines a location and angle of an alveolar bone of a patient when forming an implant hole in the alveolar bone to place an implant in the alveolar bone. By using the guide pin for dental implant surgery according to the inventive concept, a practitioner may perform the surgery by determining an accurate location and shape of the alveolar bone of the patient when drilling an implant hole in the alveolar bone, and thus, the success rate of the implant surgery may be increased.

Claims (12)

1. A guide pin for dental implant surgery comprising:

an insertion portion extending in a length direction so as to be poked and inserted between an alveolar bone and a gum;

and a guide portion configured to be coupled to the insertion portion extended in the length direction, and configured to guide an inclination of the alveolar bone by being exposed outside the gum when the insertion portion is inserted between the alveolar bone and the gum,

wherein the insertion portion comprises a bone contact portion that is configured to closely contact the alveolar bone in a direction facing the alveolar bone and a periosteal contact portion that is convexly formed in a direction facing a periosteum of the gum,

a support portion protruding in a connection portion between the insertion portion and the guide portion,

and an auxiliary insertion portion protruding from the support portion in a direction parallel to the insertion portion so as to prevent shaking of the guide portion that is inserted between the alveolar bone and the gum.

2. The guide pin for dental implant surgery of claim 1 , wherein the insertion portion further comprises a curved portion that is bent at an end portion of the insertion portion toward the bone contact portion so that the insertion portion is configured to be inserted between the alveolar bone and the gum by separating the alveolar bone and the gum.

3. The guide pin for dental implant surgery of claim 1 , wherein a ridge protruding from the periosteal contact portion of the insertion portion extends along an extension direction of the insertion portion.

4. The guide pin for dental implant surgery of claim 3 , wherein a plurality of protrusions are formed on at least a portion of the periosteal contact portion of the insertion portion.

5. The guide pin for dental implant surgery of claim 1 , wherein the guide portion has a polygonal cross-section or includes a concave-convex portion surrounding an outer circumference of the guide portion so that the guide portion is easy to grasp.

6. The guide pin for dental implant surgery of claim 1 , wherein at least one fixing groove extending in the length direction is formed in the insertion portion.

7. The guide pin for dental implant surgery of claim 1 , wherein the guide portion is bent at an angle of about 3° to about 15° with respect to the insertion portion to be coupled to the insertion portion.
