Abstract

Mini dental implants are screws that are temporarily inserted into a patient's jaw as an anchor to generate force and move a tooth. The design of a device for the determination of the insertion torque of mini self-drilling dental implants in a porcine bone specimen is presented. The proposed mechanism does not require electric drive. The input power is given by the torque resulting from the effect of weight acting on a pulley through a rope. The device consists of three transmissions for motion transformation: transmission by pulley, bevel gear with straight teeth, and a rack-and-pinion mechanism. The latter allows the longitudinal advance while the rotation of the tool occurs, making possible the bone breaking and the insertion of the mini implant. The insertion force and the recommended speed for rack-and-pinion transmission, in addition to the efficiency of each transmission station were considered for calculating the input drive power of the device. For the case study, a tool holder suitable for mini implant brand HUBIT Co x 1.4mm was designed. Both cumulative fatigue and static designs were considered. A motion analysis for the in-contact moving parts allowed verifying that no interference is present in the proposed design. Linear motion of the screw is achieved by a sliding cotter.
