Abstract

The present application relates to a medical light diffusion implant and, more specifically, to a functional implant to emit medical lights so as to induce rapid recovery after an implantation. According to the present invention, A medical light diffusion implant, comprising a socket including a space therein, capable of being fixed to a living body and a crown coupled with the socket so as to seal the socket, wherein the socket is transmittable by lights, and comprises a light source unit included at an inner space of the socket and the crown coupled to each other, to emit the lights.

Claims (32)

1. A dental light diffusion implant, comprising:

a socket including an inner space therein, capable of being fixed to a living body;

a crown coupled with the socket to seal the socket; and

an abutment including an inner space therein, configured to connect and fix the socket and the crown,

wherein the socket is transmittable by lights, wherein a light source unit capable of emitting a light is provided within the inner space of the socket and within the inner space of the abutment,

wherein the light source unit comprises a light source and a power supply unit to generate electrical energy, and

wherein the power supply unit includes a piezoelectric element which contacts the crown to convert the pressure applied by masticatory motion into energy.

2. The dental light diffusion implant according to claim 1 ,

wherein the socket comprises at least one through-hole to pass through inside and outside of the socket.

3. The dental light diffusion implant according to claim 2 ,

wherein the through-holes are included as a plurality of holes.

4. The dental light diffusion implant according to claim 2 ,

further comprising a shield film of a light-transmitting material to prevent foreign substances from entering into the socket.

5. The dental light diffusion implant according to claim 1 ,

wherein the socket has at least a portion formed by a light-transmitting material.

6. The dental light diffusion implant according to claim 5 ,

wherein the socket is entirely formed of the light-transmitting material.

7. The dental light diffusion implant according to claim 5 ,

wherein the light-transmitting material comprises glass, ceramics or plastic.

8. The dental light diffusion implant according to claim 1 ,

wherein the light source unit further comprises

a wire unit to supply the electrical energy generated by the power supply unit to the light source.

9. The dental light diffusion implant according to claim 1 ,

wherein the light source comprises an LED element.

10. The dental light diffusion implant according to claim 9 ,

wherein the LED element has an output of 3000 mw or less.

11. The dental light diffusion implant according to claim 9 ,

wherein the LED element emits lights having a wavelength of 600 to 700 nm.

12. The dental light diffusion implant according to claim 9 ,

wherein the LED element emits lights having a wavelength of 780 to 950 nm.

13. The dental light diffusion implant according to claim 9 ,

wherein the LED element generates the lights having an energy density of 2.5 to 4.5 (10 4 J/m 2 ).
