[0078] The fluid pumped by the fluid pump may be water, air, normal saline, and other liquids or gases that are harmless to the oral cavity of human body.
[0079] The magnetic field generator 500 comprises two first electromagnets 510 and two second electromagnets 520, the two first electromagnets 510 are respectively arranged in two accommodating holes distributed at an interval in a front-back direction, and the two second electromagnets 520 are respectively arranged in two accommodating holes distributed at an interval in a left-right direction.
[0080] The first electromagnet 510 has the same structure as the second electromagnet 520. Taking the first electromagnet 510 as an example, the first electromagnet 510 is composed of a solenoid and an iron core, the solenoid is arranged around the iron core. A shape of the solenoid is matched with a shape of the accommodating hole of the fixing frame 400. Upper and lower ends of the iron core are respectively provided with an outwardly protruding limit ring, the solenoid is limited between the two limit rings. The first electromagnet 510 is put into the accommodating hole, so that the solenoid is limited in a space between the iron core and an inner side wall of the accommodating hole, and a bottom end of the iron core extends out below the accommodating hole.
[0081] The top portion of the fixing frame 400 is provided with four threading holes each beside a respective one of the four accommodating holes. A side wall of each accommodating hole is provided with a via hole communicated with the adjacent threading hole, so that a terminal of the solenoid can extend through the via hole and the threading hole to extend out above the fixing frame 400, thus electrically connecting the power cord of the power supply with the solenoid.
[0082] The power supply provides an alternating current, and comprises a sine source and a cosine source.

[0083] The current detector may be an electronic measuring instrument capable of displaying an image of the current waveform. In this embodiment, the current detector is a dual-trace oscilloscope. The current detector is provided with two detection lines respectively connected to the first electromagnet 510 and the second electromagnet 520, so that the current detector can measure the current waveforms of the first electromagnet 510 and the second electromagnet 520 respectively.
[0084] Bottom ends of the two first electromagnets 510 and both ends of the two second electromagnets 520 all extend out below the fixing frame 400, with a working space between the bottom ends of the two first electromagnets 510 and the bottom ends of the two second electromagnets 520.
[0085] The implant above is implanted into the oral cavity of a patient by conventional means. The implant body 10 is screwed into a pre-drilled cavity in a jawbone of the oral cavity of the patient. After the implant body 10 and the cavity are healed, the implant abutment 20 is inserted into the mounting hole of the implant body 10. The implant screw 30 penetrates through the through hole 21 in the implant abutment 20 and then is screwed into the screw hole of the implant body 10, so that the implant abutment 20 and the implant body 10 are connected together. Subsequently, the transmission block 200, the output block 110 and the magnet 100 are sequentially put in, and the top end of the through hole 21 is sealed with the gasket 300, with the spherical protrusion 310 of the gasket 300 being oriented to the magnet 100.

[0086] With reference to
[0087] The detection method involves using the implant screw auxiliary device above, and comprises the following steps.
[0088] After the implant above is implanted, a medical staff holds the handle to place the fixing frame 400 above the prosthetic tooth 40. At this time, the two first electromagnets 510 are oriented in the front-back direction and the two second electromagnets 520 are oriented in the left-right direction.
[0089] The power supply is turned on. The cosine source provides the same cosine current for the two first electromagnets 510 and the sine source provides the same sine current for the two second electromagnets 520. The fluid pump is turned on and then injects the fluid into the top ends of the heat dissipation holes 410 from a conduit, the fluid flows through the heat dissipation holes 410 and then is ejected out from the bottom ends of the heat dissipation holes. The fluid can take away heat generated by the two first electromagnets 510 and the two second electromagnets 520 during working. The current detector measures image data of the working current waveforms of the first electromagnets 510 and the second electromagnets 520 respectively.
[0090] The image data of the two current waveforms of the first electromagnets 510 and the second electromagnets 520 measured by the current detector are checked, and images of the two current waveforms may refer to
[0091] The sine source of the power supply provides the sine current for the second electromagnets 520 and the cosine source provides the cosine current for the first electromagnets 510. A magnetic field generated by the first electromagnet 510 is taken as a first magnetic field and a magnetic field generated by the second electromagnet 520 is taken as a second magnetic field, the first magnetic field and the second magnetic field are superimposed to form the compound magnetic field 501, and the magnet 100 in the through hole 21 of the implant abutment 20 is located in the compound magnetic field 501. A magnetic field direction of the compound magnetic field 501 in the position of the implant abutment 20 is parallel to a horizontal direction. Moreover, the magnitude and direction of the second magnetic field change with the variation of the sine current, and the magnitude and direction of the first magnetic field change with the variation of the cosine current, thereby changing the direction of the compound magnetic field 501.
[0092] A periodic change of the sine current is taken as an example. The periods of the sine current and the cosine current are both T. At time 0, the sine current is 0 and the cosine current is at its maximum positive value A.sub.max. This results in the magnetic field of the second electromagnet being 0 and the first electromagnet being activated to generate a forward first magnetic field, i.e., the compound magnetic field 501 is oriented from back to front. At time T/4, the sine current rises to its maximum positive value A.sub.max and the cosine current drops to 0. This results in the first electromagnet being 0 and the second electromagnet being activated to generate a leftward second magnetic field, i.e., the compound magnetic field 501 is oriented from right to left. Because the sine current and the cosine current both change gradually, the magnetic field direction of the compound magnetic field 501 is gradually rotated from forward to leftward. At time T/2, the sine current drops to 0 and the cosine current drops to its maximum negative value A.sub.min. This results in the second electromagnet being 0 and the first electromagnet being activated to generate a backward first magnetic field, i.e., the compound magnetic field 501 changes from the forward to the backward. The directions of the compound magnetic field 501 at time 3T/4 and at time T may be obtained in the same way. It can be seen that the compound magnetic field 501 rotates around the vertical axis. In this way, the direction of the compound magnetic field 501 rotates around the vertical axis, without needing to rotate the fixing frame, thus facilitating the use of the implant screw auxiliary device.
[0093] With reference to
[0094] With reference to
[0095] For example, when the compound magnetic field 501 generated by the magnetic field generator 500 rotates for multiple periods, the current detector detects the current value A.sub.01 of the first electromagnets 510 every time when the abnormal current fluctuation occurs, and the current detector detects the current value A.sub.02 of the second electromagnet 520 every time when the abnormal current fluctuation occurs. In this way, by taking a duration between every two maximum positive values A.sub.max as one period according to the waveform image of the cosine current measured by the current detector, the time to corresponding to the current value A.sub.01 in this period may be calculated, and then the current value A.sub.02 at t.sub.0 in the waveform image of the sine current is read. Because the magnetic field intensity of an electromagnet is in direct proportion to a current, and the first electromagnets 510 and the second electromagnets 520 have the same structure, a coordinate system with an x axis and a y axis is set up by taking a change direction of the current value of the first electromagnets 510 as a positive direction of the x axis and a change direction of the current value of the second electromagnets 520 as a positive direction of the y axis. Connection of (0, 0) and (A.sub.01, A.sub.02) forms a direction line of the compound magnetic field 501, the two first electromagnets 510 are distributed h at an interval in the front-back direction and the two second electromagnets 520 are distributed at an interval in the left-right direction. The x axis of the coordinate system corresponds to the front-back direction and the y axis corresponds to the left-right direction. Because the magnet 100 is in the critical state of reverse rotation, the two magnetic poles of the magnet 100 are opposite to the direction of the compound magnetic field 501 at this time. Meanwhile, the output block 110 of the magnet 100 is blocked by the transmission block 200 of the implant screw 30, and angles of a connecting line between (A.sub.01, A.sub.02) and (0, 0) relative to the x axis and the y axis are angles of the transmission block 200 relative to the axis of the implant screw 30 in the front-back direction and the left-right direction.
[0096] After the implant is implanted for a period of time, the above steps are repeated. The current value A.sub.11 measured by the current detector when the abnormal current fluctuation occurs is compared with the previous A.sub.01. If there is a difference between A.sub.11 and A.sub.01, the transmission block 200 on the implant screw 30 deviates from the initial position. When the fluctuation difference between A.sub.11 and A.sub.01 is greater than of the period, it is determined that the implant screw 30 is loosened. A.sub.12 and A.sub.02 are compared in the same way. The angle difference of the connecting line between (A.sub.01, A.sub.02) and (0,0) relative to the connecting line between (A.sub.11, A.sub.12) and (0,0) may also be compared. When the angle difference is greater than 45, it is determined that the implant screw 30 is loosened. Moreover, the angles of the transmission block 200 relative to the axis of the implant screw 30 in the front-back direction and the left-right direction may be calculated according to A.sub.11 and A.sub.12 and the image of the current waveform, allowing for the determination of the specific angle of loosening of the implant screw 30 relative to the initial state.
[0097] With reference to
[0098] The pre-tightening method comprises the detection method above, the angles of the transmission block 200 relative to the axis of the implant screw 30 in the front-back direction and the left-right direction obtained according to the first embodiment of the detection method above are the connecting line between (A.sub.11, A.sub.12) and (0,0). A direct current of A.sub.11 is provided to the first electromagnets 510 by a first direct current power supply, and a direct current of A.sub.12 is provided to the second electromagnets 520 by a second direct current power supply, so that the first electromagnets 510 and the second electromagnets 520 generate the compound magnetic field 501 with a fixed direction, and the direction of the compound magnetic field 501 is along the connecting line between (A.sub.11, A.sub.12) and (0,0), and then the magnet 100 drives the output block 110 to rotate in a position close to the direction of the compound magnetic field 501, so that the output block 110 abuts against the transmission block 200.
[0099] Subsequently, the direct current power supplies are turned off, and the magnitude and direction of the direct current are altered, so that a current direction of the first electromagnets is opposite to A.sub.11 and amplified by a factor of 1 to 10000, and a current direction of the second electromagnets is opposite to A.sub.12 and amplified by a factor of 1 to 10000. The factors by which the direct currents of the first electromagnet and the second electromagnet are amplified are the same. Subsequently, the direct current power supplies are turned on instantly, and one high-intensity compound magnetic field 501 in a direction (A.sub.11, A.sub.12) is generated at this time, so that the magnet 100 drives the output block 110 to quickly impact the transmission block 200 in a pre-tightening direction of the screw. The above steps may be repeated several times to achieve a pre-tightening effect.
[0100] However, when the loosening angle of the implant screw 30 is relatively large, the position of the transmission block 200 also changes greatly after the impact. Therefore, after first impact and pre-tightening are completed, it is necessary to turn off the direct current power supplies and restart a loosening detection function to detect a magnetic field direction (A.sub.21, A.sub.22) of the output block 110 in the highest position. At this time, magnitudes and directions of the currents (A.sub.21, A.sub.22) are displayed by the oscilloscope as a reference, and the direct current power supplies are adjusted in the above way to complete the next impact.
[0101] After the above loosening detection for the screw before each impact is completed, the direction of the previous compound magnetic field 501 should be compared, that is, fluctuation positions of the currents are observed by the oscilloscope, and when the fluctuation positions of the currents remain unchanged, it is determined that the screw is pre-tightened.
[0102] The above describes the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure in detail, but the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments. Those of ordinary skills in the art may further make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without violating the gist of the present disclosure, and these equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of the present application.
