Description
ORTHODONTIC iMPLANTS PRIORITY CLAIM
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U S Provisional Patent Application
Serial No 60/850,624, filed October 10, 2006 and entitled "Orthodontic Devices, Implants and Related Apparatus," the disclosure of which is expressly incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] This invention generally relates to orthodontic devices, and more particularly, to orthodontic implants, which are sometimes referred to as miniscrews, and may also be used in dental applications as appropriate. BACKGROUND
[0003] Dental implants are used in the dental profession in general, and more particularly in the branches or specialties of orthodontics, oral surgery, periodontics, and restorative dentistry. More specifically, an orthodontist may use an orthodontic implant to provide a firm anchorage from which to attach wires, springs, and like peripheral devices for use in aligning or straightening misaligned or irregular teeth. The use of such an implant allows for a skeletal anchorage which is more predictable and stable than using headgear or elastics which require patient compliance. A skeletal anchorage also eliminates the need for using other teeth as an anchor This in turn, eliminates the unwanted movement of these anchor teeth, for when one tooth is used as an anchor to move another, the anchor tooth will also move, even if only to a lesser degree, while the irregular or misaligned tooth moves. In short, orthodontic implants can be advantageously used in orthodontic treatment to control tooth movement [0004] Currently many of the orthodontic implants in the market have a round screw head a bracket-shaped head, or a hex-shaped head One possible drawback to these designs is that typically attachments are secured to these miniscrews by placing
a round eyelet (i e , like that typically found on a coil spring) over the head of the screw and hoping the undercut or neck (beneath the screw head) is sufficient to retain the eyelet in place Alternatively, attachments are ligated onto the head of the screw or implant, which can be a very cumbersome technique
[0005] What is needed is an improved orthodontic implant having a structure that more securely receives an eyelet and that is less susceptible to fracture in the neck region SUMMARY
£0006] The present invention relates to an orthodontic implant or miniscrew with a non-circular shaped head The implants are contemplated for use in both orthodontic or dental applications, both of which are referred to by the reference to orthodontic implants In one embodiment, the head has an elliptical shape In an alternative embodiment, the head has a triangular or delta shape Utilizing a non-circular (elliptical or delta) shaped head provides the advantage that when an eyeiet is utilized which has the same shape as the non-circular head, then once the eyelet has been placed over the head portion of the implant and the eyelet and implant are rotated relative to one another, unless the two ellipses (head and eyelet) become perfectly aligned, the eyelet will not inadvertently become disengaged from the implant head With respect to the alternative embodiment wherein the orthodontic implant has a triangular or delta shaped head, the mating eyelet to be used with such an implant would also have a triangular or delta shape
[0007] An additional benefit to utilizing an elliptical shaped head on an orthodontic implant is achieved if the elliptical shape extends to the neck portion of the implant In other words, although the neck would have reduced dimensions relative to the head itself, the neck would have the elliptical shape proportionately like the head
itself. Utilizing such a design provides reinforcement to the neck and may prevent possible fracturing of the orthodontic implant, particularly during the implantation step. [0008] It is further contemplated that the neck may have a transverse hole through it which allows for wires, ligatures or other devices to be inserted through and tied to the implant, in the situation where a through hole is utilized in the neck of the implant, having an elliptical shape to the neck will add additiona! reinforcement vis-a-vis a typical circular shaped neck.
[0009] As an alternative to the elliptical shaped neck described above, the orthodontic implants of the present invention may utilize a typical circular cross-section for the neck in the form of a cylindrical section wherein the diameter does not vary along the length of the neck. As a further aiternative, the neck region of the implant below the head may have an "apple core" configuration to further enhance retention of the eyelet. This "apple core" configuration can be used on either the elliptical or triangular shaped head embodiments of the invention. The "apple core" neck configuration is advantageous in that it allows greater freedom of movement of an eyelet around the neck of the implant in both a rotational sense and in a vertical/tipping sense. This is advantageous because not all implants are implanted at a right angle to the skeletal structure and freedom of movement of an eyelet in multiple directions about the implant neck may be important to the functioning of the device. [0010] The above and other objects and advantages of the present invention shal! be made apparent from the accompanying drawings and the detailed description thereof.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] Fsgs 1 and 2 show an embodiment of an orthodontic implant 10 of the present invention Implant 10 includes a threaded shaft portion 12, an ellsptically shaped head 14, a neck portion 16, a smooth cylindrical shaft portion 18, and an antt- gingival growth barrier 20 (also referred to as a transmucosai collar) Orthodontic implant 10, which is of a one-piece construction and is made of any suitable material, such as titanium or titanium alloy, is advantageously used with an auxiliary orthodontic device having an eyelet 22 at an end thereof, such as is shown in Fig 1. As shown, the eyelet 22 is shaped to fit over the elliptical head 14 of implant 10 Details of various suitable eyelets are found in co-pending PCT International application No , filed on October 10, 2007 entitled "Orthodontic Eyelet With CπmpabJe Portions and Related Methods," whsch is expressly incorporated by reference herein in its entirety Moreover, auxiliary devices having swivel eyelets may advantageously be used with the orthodontic implants of the present invention Such devices are disclosed in co-pending
PCT Internationa! application No , filed October 10, 2007, entitled Orthodontic
Auxiliary Device Having a Swive! for Adapting to Impiants," which is expressly incorporated by reference herein in its entirety The use of an elliptical shaped head 14 in the orthodontic implant 10 of the present invention is advantageous because the eyelet 22 which has a mating shape is less readily displaced off of the neck and head of the orthodontic implant during treatment The reason for this is that only when the implant head 14 and eyelet 22 opening 23 are in 100% alignment is it possible for the eyelet to become disengaged This has the advantage that no additional ligation is required to maintain the eyelet in place on the orthodontic implant [0021] Figs 2A and 2b show top and side views, respectively, of the orthodontic implant 10 shown in Fig 2 As can be seen in Figs 2A and 2B, the neck portion 16 of the implant 10 is cylindrical and has a circular cross-section with a through hole 24 The through hole 24 permits inserting a wire or spring end into and through the neck of the implant 10 and tying it in place As an alternative, it will be appreciated that the neck 16 may have an elliptical cross-section (not shown) that corresponds to the elliptical shaped head 14, but ΪS of reduced dimensions relative thereto Such a configuration for the neck 16 strengthens the neck and may prevent cracking or implant failures, especially during the implantation step
[0022] Figs 3 and 4 show an alternative configuration for the neck portion 16 of implant 10 wherein the neck has an "apple core" configuration More particularly, in this embodiment, the diameter or circular cross-section of the neck 16 varies in the longitudinal direction from a narrow mid-point 17 to two flared end points 19a and 19b This "apple core" configuration of neck 16 may further enhance the retention of an eyelet on the orthodontic implant because there is a more pronounced undercut beneath the head 14 This "apple core" neck embodiment may also include a through- hole 24 for wire or spring attachment
[0023] Figs 5 and 6 depict an alternative embodiment of the invention wherein the non-circular head portion of the implant 10 has a triangular (or delta) shaped head 28 As shown in Fig 5, the neck portion 30 of the triangular shaped head embodiment may be circular in cross-section It is also contemplated that the "apple core" neck configuration shown in Figs 3 and 4 may also be utilized Furthermore, in this embodiment, the region below the neck 30 has a triangular shaped cross-section 32 which facilitates the use of an orthodontic driver device for screwing the implant into place An example of a dual option driver is disclosed in co-pending PCT International application No filed on October 10, 2007 entitled "Dual Option Driver "
The devices disclosed in that co-pending application may be utilized with the orthodontic implants of the present invention and the entirety of that co-pending application is incorporated by reference herein
[0024] It is further contemplated that the orthodontic implants of this invention may be coated with an antimicrobial so as to inhibit or prevent infections subsequent to implantation Suitable antimicrobial coatings for the implant may include silver alloys and materials containing zinc ions or silver ions
[0025] In connection with the implantation of the orthodontic implants of the present invention, it will be appreciated that a drill for orthodontic implants of the type disclosed in co-pending PCT International application No filed on October
10, 2007, entitled "Drill for Orthodontic Implants," the details of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference may be used With such a device, a starter hole is drilled in the patient's bony structure that is to receive the orthodontic implant utilizing the drill disclosed in this co-pending application Thereafter, a dual option driver of the type disclosed in co-pending PCT International application No , referenced above, can be used to drive the orthodontic impiant into its final position Prior to use of the drill and driver, an orthodontic clinician may apply a topical anesthetic
such as Profound or other suitable topical anesthetics known in the art, to the patient's gum and thereafter use a needle-less injector such as MadaJet, available from Mada, International (New Jersey) or SyπJet, available from Mizzt (New Jersey) to inject a suitable anesthetic Needle-less injectors are known in the field of general dentistry to inject an appropriate anesthetic into the patient Needle-less injection may advantageously be used in connection with the implantation of orthodontic implants of the present invention
