Abstract

The invention relates to a screw, a tool and a system for dental implantology, forming a fixing system and the components thereof to be used in a dynamic pillar assembly. Said dynamic pillar assembly is used in the production of prostheses on dental implants in human implantology in order to fix screws at an angle.

Claims (27)

1. A method of performing dental implantology, comprising the steps of:

providing a base having a center axis;

providing a screw comprising a head at one end and a thread at an opposite end, the head of the screw has an internal part with female hexalobular form with a circular center and six circular depressions and six circular peaks on a periphery of the circular center, wherein the screw is configured to couple the base to an implant in a bone of a patient;

providing a screwdriver having a tip with a male hexalobular form configured to mate with the screw head and turn the screw, the female hexalobular form and the male hexalobular form configured to permit the screwdriver to engage and apply torque to the screw while a center axis of the screwdriver is angled relative to a center axis of the screw; and

screwing the screw into the implant while the center axis of the screwdriver is angled relative to the center axis of the screw by greater than 25 degrees.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, during screwing, the center axis of the screwdriver is angled relative to the center axis of the screw by 28 degrees.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, during screwing, the center axis of the screwdriver is angled relative to the center axis of the screw by greater than 28 degrees.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, during screwing, the center axis of the screwdriver is angled relative to the center axis of the screw by 30 degrees.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, during screwing, the center axis of the screwdriver is angled relative to the center axis of the screw by 35 degrees.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, during screwing, the center axis of the screwdriver is angled relative to the center axis of the screw by an angle greater than 25 degrees and up to 35 degrees.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, during screwing, the center axis of the screwdriver is angled relative to the center axis of the screw by an angle in a range of 25 degrees and 35 degrees.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each circular depression is defined by a same depression radius and each circular peak is define by a same peak radius.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the head of the screw has an external diameter (DE- 1 ) from 1.8 mm to 2.7 mm, a greater internal diameter (DIMA- 1 ) from 1.3 to 2.4 mm, a smaller internal diameter (DIME- 1 ) from 1.0 to 2.0 mm, and an internal height (AI- 1 ) from 0.5 to 1.5 mm; and wherein the depression radius is from 0.15 to 0.35 mm and the peak radius is from 0.15 to 0.35 mm.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a cone (ADC- 1 ) is formed between the thread and the head of the screw and an angle of the cone is from 25 to 65 degrees.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the screwdriver comprises a male tip (C- 2 ) having a body in partial spherical form with curved inlets and protrusions (C- 2 -B) defining a male hexalobular form, the hexalobular form defined by alternating circular depressions and circular peaks, each circular depression defined by a same depression radius and each circular peak define by a same peak radius, the hexalobular form allowing an inclination of between 0° and 35° for application of a tightening torque to the screw; and

wherein the hexalobular form has a maximum external diameter (DE) from 1.3 mm to 2.4 mm, a maximum internal diameter (DI) in a range of 1.0 to 2.0 mm, radius of the depression (RCD) in a range of 0.15 to 0.35 mm, and a radius of the peak (RCC) in a range of 0.15 to 0.35 mm, and wherein the screwdriver has a total height (ATC) in a range of 18 to 35 mm.

12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a tube extends from the base with a center axis of the tube angled relative to the base center axis, and wherein, during screwing, the tip of the screwdriver is inserted through an opening in the tube and the center axis of the screwdriver is angled relative to the center axis of the screw to account for the center axis of the tube being angled relative to the center axis of the base.

13. A method of performing dental implantology, comprising the steps of:

providing a base having a center axis;

providing a screw comprising a head at one end and a thread at an opposite end, the head of the screw has an internal part with female hexalobular form with a circular center and six circular depressions and six circular peaks on a periphery of the circular center, wherein the screw is configured to couple the base to an implant in a bone of a patient;

providing a screwdriver having a tip with a hexalobular form configured to mate with the screw head and turn the screw, the female hexalobular form and the male hexalobular form are configured to permit the screwdriver to engage and apply torque to the screw while a center axis of the screwdriver is angled relative to a center axis of the screw; and

screwing the screw into the implant, wherein, during screwing, a center axis of the screwdriver is angled relative to a center axis of the screw;

wherein the head of the screw has an external diameter (DE- 1 ) from 1.8 mm to 2.7 mm, a greater internal diameter (DIMA- 1 ) from 1.3 to 2.4 mm, a smaller internal diameter (DIME- 1 ) from 1.0 to 2.0 mm, and an internal height (AI- 1 ) from 0.5 to 1.5 mm; and

wherein the depression radius is from 0.15 to 0.35 mm and the peak radius is from 0.15 to 0.35 mm.

14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the screwdriver comprises a male tip (C- 2 ) having a body in partial spherical form with curved inlets and protrusions (C- 2 -B) defining a male hexalobular form, the hexalobular form defined by alternating circular depressions and circular peaks, each circular depression defined by a same depression radius and each circular peak define by a same peak radius, the hexalobular form allowing an inclination of between 0° and 35° for application of a tightening torque to the screw; and

wherein the hexalobular form has a maximum external diameter (DE) from 1.3 mm to 2.4 mm, a maximum internal diameter (DI) in a range of 1.0 to 2.0 mm, radius of the depression (RCD) in a range of 0.15 to 0.35 mm, and a radius of the peak (RCC) in a range of 0.15 to 0.35 mm, and wherein the screwdriver has a total height (ATC) in a range of 18 to 35 mm.

15. The method according to claim 12 , wherein a tube extends from the base with a center axis of the tube angled relative to the base center axis; and wherein, during screwing, the tip of the screwdriver is inserted through an opening in the tube and a center axis of the screwdriver is angled relative to a center axis of the screw to account for the center axis of the tube being angled relative to the center axis of the base.
