Description

  The present invention relates to a support for bone guidance / regeneration for use in guiding / regenerating bone having some defect such as bone loss, bone loss, or fracture.

  In the alveolar bone that supports the teeth, if bone resorption occurs over time due to a tooth defect, or if the bone is congenital or acquired, it may be difficult to implant the implant. In such a case, bone formation is performed to increase the amount of bone (generally called osteoinductive regeneration therapy (GBR)). That is, in order to prevent bone tissue such as gums from entering from the surroundings and inhibiting bone regeneration in the bone defect region where bone tissue is to be induced / regenerated, bone regeneration / regeneration membrane (bone induction) The bone-guided regeneration method (GBR method) is also performed to cover the bone defect region. In this GBR method, autologous bones collected from other sites (for example, jawbone, tibia, and iliac bones) and artificial bones such as β-TCP and hydroxyapatite are also implanted in the bone defect region. There is.

  As a support for osteoinductive regeneration, there are mainly non-absorbable PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) membranes and ePTFE (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene) titanium reinforced membranes commercially available from Gore-Tex Corporation (see Patent Document 1), and decomposes in vivo. Absorbable polymer film or non-absorbable titanium mesh body (see paragraph 0013 of Patent Document 2) is used.

Japanese Patent No. 2905592 Special table 2003-517326 gazette

  The non-absorbable PTFE membrane has excellent biocompatibility and does not deteriorate, decompose or dissolve even after long-term use. Furthermore, the PTFE membrane has the characteristics that it is soft and smooth, can be freely trimmed, and is easily sewn. However, since the PTFE membrane itself does not have rigidity, the desired shape cannot be maintained, and therefore it is not possible to secure a sufficient osteoinductive regeneration space (so-called space making) when the bone defect region is covered and retained. Have a problem. In addition, in order to improve the above problems, a titanium reinforced film (TR membrane) is provided which is reinforced with a thin titanium frame on a porous ePTFE (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene) film so as not to be deformed.

  The absorbable polymer membrane is a biodegradable membrane made of collagen, polylactic acid (PLA), polylactic acid-polyglycolic acid copolymer (PLGA), etc., but similar to the PTFE membrane described above. The film itself has a problem that it cannot hold a desired shape because it does not have rigidity.

  By the way, the non-absorbable titanium mesh body has a relatively large rigidity in addition to being excellent in biocompatibility as known as a representative artificial bone material. It has the feature that a space can be formed and bone formation in a large area becomes possible.

  However, a conventional titanium mesh body has a thickness of at least 0.1 mm and is difficult to bend into an arbitrary shape due to its high rigidity, and requires a large space due to its own thickness. It may be difficult to use in a defective area.

  Moreover, in the titanium mesh body, fixing with a screw through a plurality of perforations formed on the surface thereof is performed. The perforation of the titanium mesh body has a large size that allows cells that make up soft fibrous soft tissue such as gums to penetrate in addition to extracellular fluid such as blood, lymph, and tissue fluid that fills the cells outside the blood vessels. Dimensions are configured. Therefore, soft fibrous soft tissue cells such as gingiva may enter the bone defect region through the large-sized perforations. As a result, when the titanium mesh body is removed after a predetermined period of time, there is a problem that it becomes difficult to remove the titanium mesh body due to the soft tissue that has entered the perforations. In addition, the guided and regenerated bone tissue enters a large number of perforations, and as a result, the surface of the induced and regenerated bone is not very smooth.

  Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a bone guide having an opening hole that has a rigidity capable of maintaining a desired shape in a bone defect region and that allows an extracellular fluid to permeate but does not permeate cellular tissue. It is to provide a support for regeneration. The extracellular fluid is a body fluid such as blood or lymph, and the cell tissue referred to here is a biological tissue composed of a plurality of cells and an extracellular matrix, and is a gingival tissue. It refers to soft tissue such as skin tissue, adipose tissue, muscle tissue, blood vessels, and hard tissue such as bone tissue.

  In order to solve the above technical problem, according to the present invention, the following support for osteoinductive regeneration is provided.

That is, the osteoinductive regeneration support according to claim 1 of the present invention is an osteoinductive regeneration support for guiding and regenerating a bone that is retained around a bone defect region,

In FIG. 5, the gingiva 20 is not displayed. FIG. 6 is a plan view of a support 1 for osteoinductive regeneration according to another embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the osteoinductive regeneration support 1 is composed of a metal foil 2 having excellent biocompatibility and spreadability, such as pure titanium. On the foil body 2, a plurality of minute opening holes 4 penetrating the front surface 6 and the back surface 7 of the foil body 2 are dispersedly arranged. Depending on the thickness of the foil body 2 and the number of openings 4 formed, the osteoinductive regeneration support body 1 has rigidity and flexibility enough to bend at the fingertip of the user. Accordingly, by bending the bone guiding / reproducing support body 1 or making a crease in the bone guiding / reproducing support body 1, that is, as shown in FIG. 2, the sheet-like bone guiding / reproducing support body 1 is curved in an arch shape. By processing and maintaining the three-dimensional shape, it is possible to form the bone guidance reproduction space 8 surrounded by the arch-shaped curved surface and the flat support surface.

  A material suitable for the support 1 for osteoinductive regeneration according to the present invention is a metal having biocompatibility and excellent extensibility. Examples of metal materials that satisfy such conditions include pure titanium (purity 99% or more), titanium alloy, stainless steel, cobalt-chromium alloy, cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy, tantalum, zirconium, gold, platinum, etc. is there. In particular, pure titanium is suitable for the support 1 for osteoinductive regeneration according to the present invention because it has excellent biocompatibility and spreadability. Therefore, although the case where pure titanium is used will be described, the material used in the present invention is not limited to pure titanium.

  The foil body 2 of the support 1 for osteoinductive regeneration according to the present invention is prepared by the following method. After rolling a metal strip made of pure titanium through a clearance formed between a pair of rolls (roll press), the clearance between the pair of rolls is further narrowed and rolled (roll press). The foil body 2 having a predetermined thickness can be created by repeatedly inserting the metal strip through a narrow clearance formed between a pair of rolls. The thin-film-like foil body 2 having a small thickness is formed by rolling a relatively large thickness foil body formed by rolling by chemical etching, or by forming a release layer on a flat substrate. It can be formed on a material by a physical method (sputtering method or vacuum deposition method) or a chemical method (CVD method).

  The thickness of the foil body 2 of the osteoinductive regeneration support 1 according to the present invention is preferably 5 μm to 100 μm. That is, the thickness of the foil body 2 may be smaller than 5 μm, but is preferably 5 μm or more from the viewpoint of manufacturing technology and mechanical strength. Moreover, it is suitable that the thickness of the foil body 2 is 100 micrometers or less from the viewpoint of the handleability that the bending and bending by a user's finger | toe are easy. Further, as will be described later, the thickness of the foil body 2 does not necessarily have to be uniform over the entire surface of the foil body 2, and the thin opening low-rigidity portion 10 and the thick frame portions 12, 14 Can also be configured to coexist.

  And the thickness of the foil body 2 changes with uses of the support body 1 for bone | frame guidance reproduction | regeneration. When the thickness of the foil body 2 is 5 μm to 30 μm, it has the flexibility to bend if you blow it, so it can be used to stick or wrap the bone to the site where you want to guide and regenerate the bone. Can be used. When the thickness of the foil body 2 is 30 μm to 60 μm, it has the flexibility to bend easily with the fingertip of the user, so it can be used for application to a site where bones are to be guided and regenerated, It can also be used for the purpose of forming the osteoinductive regeneration space 8 (so-called space making). When the thickness of the foil body 2 is 60 μm to 100 μm, the user is provided with flexibility and rigidity so as to bend by applying a little force to the fingertip, so that the formation of the bone guidance reproduction space 8 (so-called space making) Can be used for

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the minute opening holes 4 penetrating through the support 1 for osteoinductive regeneration according to the present invention in the thickness direction and distributed on the surface of the support 1 at an appropriate pitch interval are suitable as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Is a round hole having an opening diameter of 0.1 μm to 500 μm. The opening diameter of the opening hole 4 is such that blood, lymph, and extracellular fluid (so-called bodily fluid) such as tissue fluid filling between cells outside the blood vessel pass through, but the cellular tissue that constitutes soft fibrous soft tissue such as gums is transmitted. It is dimensioned to a size that cannot be done. Since the maximum size of the protein, which is the largest component among components contained in extracellular fluid such as blood, lymph, and tissue fluid filling between cells outside the blood vessel, is about 0.1 μm, the opening diameter of the opening hole 4 is small. The side is defined as 0.1 μm or more. In addition, the size through which the cellular tissue constituting the soft fibrous soft tissue such as gums can permeate is several hundreds μm or more. However, since the cellular tissue slightly passes through the opening hole 4, there is no practical problem. The side with the larger opening diameter is defined as 500 μm or less. In consideration of the ease of drilling, the opening diameter is preferably 10 μm or more. In order to completely eliminate the passage of cell tissue, the upper limit of the opening diameter is preferably 200 μm or less.

  The cross section of the opening hole 4 has a straight shape in which the opening diameters on the front surface side and the back surface side hardly change, a single taper shape in which the opening diameter on one surface is large and the opening diameter on the other surface is small, A double taper shape having a large opening diameter on the front surface side and the back surface side and a small opening diameter on the center portion can be obtained. Moreover, the opening diameter of the opening hole 4 may be either the case where it is aligned with a single diameter, or the case where the opening diameter is within the range of the opening diameter but is not uniform. Moreover, the opening holes 4 may be arranged in a distributed manner, or may be randomly distributed. Further, the opening hole 4 is not limited to the round hole as described above, and may have various shapes such as a triangular hole, a square hole, a pentagon hole, a hexagonal hole, an elliptical hole, or a star hole. Further, the pitch interval of the opening holes 4 that does not limit the present invention is exemplified by 80 μm when the opening diameter is 40 μm, 160 μm when the opening diameter is 80 μm, and 200 μm when the opening diameter is 100 μm.

  The opening hole 4 as described above can be formed by a chemical etching process, a laser beam etching process, an electric discharge process, a punching press process, or the like alone or in combination.

  The chemical etching for forming the opening hole 4 in the foil body 2 made of pure titanium is performed by the following procedure, for example.

  A pure titanium foil body 2 having a predetermined thickness is prepared, and a photoresist film for patterning is applied on the front surface (front surface and / or back surface) of the degreased and cleaned foil body 2 to form a desired opening pattern. Exposure is performed in a state where masking is performed using a photographic mask having a shape (a shape of the opening, a pitch, and an opening diameter), followed by development, and patterning of the opening hole 4 on the foil body 2. Etching of hydrofluoric acid-nitric acid mixture, hydrogen peroxide-hydrofluoric acid-nitric acid mixture, hydrogen peroxide-hydrofluoric acid-sulfuric acid mixture, hydrogen peroxide-acidic ammonium fluoride-phosphoric acid mixture, etc. After dipping in the solution for a predetermined time, the resist film covering the foil body 2 is dissolved and removed, whereby a plurality of minute opening holes 4 penetrating the foil body 2 in the thickness direction are formed. The support 1 can be created.

  Chemical etching is used to form the opening hole 4, but can also be used to reduce the thickness of the foil body 2. That is, the surface (front surface and / or back surface) of the degreased and cleaned foil body 2 is covered with a photoresist film by being immersed in an etching solution for a predetermined time without being covered with a photoresist film. The surface of the foil body 2 that is not present can be etched to reduce the thickness of the foil body 2.

  As a modification of the osteoinductive regeneration support 1, the foil body 2 may have a configuration in which the rigidity of the foil body 2 is not substantially uniform over the osteoinductive regeneration support 1 and varies depending on the location. The bone guide regeneration support 1 according to another embodiment illustrated in FIG. 6 has an opening low-rigidity portion 10 in which a plurality of minute opening holes 4 are formed, and has higher rigidity than the opening low-rigidity portion 10. And frame portions 12 and 14 for reinforcing the rigidity of the entire support 1. The frame parts 12 and 14 include a central frame part 12 formed in the center as a geometric pattern and an edge frame part 14 formed on the outer peripheral edge.

  In the osteoinductive regeneration support 1 illustrated in FIG. 6, the open low-rigidity portion 10 contributes to the selective permeation of extracellular fluid, and the frame portions 12 and 14 form and hold a desired three-dimensional shape. Contributes as a support. The opening low-rigidity portion 10 (that is, the portion having many opening holes 4) is less rigid than the frame portions 12 and 14 (that is, the portion having no or little opening holes 4). It is configured as follows. The method for making the rigidity of the foil body 2 different depending on the location is to change the thickness of the foil body 2 and to change the occupation ratio of the opening holes 4 (the number of the opening holes 4, the pitch interval, and the opening diameter). It is. The thickness of the low opening rigidity portion 10 is the same as or less than the thickness of the frame portions 12 and 14. The frame parts 12 and 14 may be provided with the opening holes 4 to such an extent that the rigidity of the frame parts 12 and 14 is not significantly reduced. Moreover, the thickness of the center frame part 12 and the edge frame part 14 may be the same, and may differ.

  The osteoinductive regeneration support 1 having the low opening rigidity portion 10 and the frame portions 12 and 14 illustrated in FIG. 6 can be produced by repeating a combination of masking and etching as appropriate. For example, etching is performed in a state where the portions corresponding to the frame portions 12 and 14 are masked to reduce the thickness of the foil body 2 other than the frame portions 12 and 14, and the thinned portions are masked with a mask for forming an opening. By etching in this state, the opening low-rigidity portion 10 that is thinner than the frame portion and has a plurality of minute opening holes 4 can be formed in the support 1 for bone guidance reproduction.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5, a usage form of the osteoinductive regeneration support 1 according to the present invention will be described.

  When the tooth 50 falls off from the alveolar bone 30 for some reason such as periodontal disease, a phenomenon occurs in which the alveolar bone 30 supporting the tooth 50 is absorbed and thinned (see FIG. 3A). In general, since the alveolar bone 30 on the buccal side is thin and the amount of bone for embedding the implant fixture 40 is insufficient, if the implant fixture 40 is implanted as it is without increasing the bone mass, A part of the fixture 40 is exposed on the thin cheek side (see FIG. 4A). Therefore, inducing and regenerating bone tissue with respect to a site having some defect such as bone loss, bone loss, and fracture is generally called GBR (Guided Bone Regeneration) therapy. In such GBR therapy, the support 1 for osteoinductive regeneration according to the present invention can be applied.

  FIG. 3 shows a first usage pattern in which the bone-guided regeneration support 1 made of pure titanium is used in order to secure a sufficient amount of bone in advance before the implant fixture 40 is inserted. The support 1 for osteoinductive regeneration made of pure titanium has a thickness of 30 to 100 μm in order to form the osteoinductive regeneration space 8 (so-called space making).

  First, as shown in FIG. 5A, a portion of the gingiva 20 corresponding to the bone defect region 32 where bone resorption has occurred is incised, and a bone defect region 32 in which a portion of the alveolar bone 30 is defective appears. The gingiva 20 is composed of an epithelium 22 and a connective tissue 24.

  As shown in FIG. 5B, with respect to the exposed portion of the bone defect region 32, autologous bone (for example, bone collected from jaw bone, tibia, iliac bone, etc.) or artificial bone (β-TCP or hydroxyapatite) Etc.), bone filling material (collagen sponge), bone morphogenetic protein, platelet-rich plasma, etc. alone or a combination thereof is filled as the transplant material 52. These transplant materials 52 can be omitted depending on cases.

  The bone guide regeneration support 1 made of pure titanium is cut into an appropriate size, and the bone guide regeneration support 1 is processed into a desired shape by bending or bending the bone guide regeneration support 1. To do. Then, as shown in FIG. 5C, in a state where the bone defect region 32 is covered with the osteoinductive regeneration support 1 processed into a desired shape, a fixing jig 60 is used to hold a suture, a screw, The osteoinductive regeneration support 1 is temporarily fixed to the alveolar bone 30 by a fixing member 62 such as a staple or a nail. For example, when the fixing member 62 is a screw, the fixing jig 60 is a screw driver. Then, as shown in FIG. 3A, the incised gingiva 20 was sutured, so that the osteoinductive regeneration support body 1 covering the bone defect region 32 was bone-deleted with the connective tissue 24 of the gingiva 20. The support body 1 can be retained between the alveolar bone 30 in a state of being held in a desired shape. The osteoinductive regeneration support 1 according to the present invention can be used in combination with a commercially available absorbable and / or non-absorbable GBR membrane.

  When a period of several months elapses, as shown in FIG. 3B, in the bone defect region 32 surrounded by the support for bone guidance and regeneration 1, the bone tissue fills the bone defect region 32 so that the alveolar bone 30 is formed. Guided / regenerated. That is, in the bone defect region 32, a new alveolar bone 30 having substantially the same component as that of the original alveolar bone is formed. The gingiva 20 is incised again, the support 1 for osteoinductive regeneration is removed, and the fixture 40 is embedded and fixed in the alveolar bone 30. Thereafter, an abutment is mounted on the fixture 40 after a period of several months. As a result, after the bone formation is completed by performing the GBR therapy first, the implant treatment in which the implant fixture 40 is implanted is completed.

  Next, FIG. 4 shows a second use in which the bone-guided regeneration support 1 made of pure titanium is used when bone formation is performed with the bone-guided regeneration support 1 at the same time when the implant fixture 40 is embedded. The form is shown. The support 1 for osteoinductive regeneration made of pure titanium has a thickness of 30 to 100 μm in order to form the osteoinductive regeneration space 8 (so-called space making).

  The fixture 40 of the implant is embedded in the bone defect region 32 formed by extraction, but the opening size of the bone defect region 32 by extraction is usually larger than the outer dimension of the fixture 40. Therefore, first, the alveolar bone 30 appears by incising the gingival 20 of the corresponding part, and the fixture 40 is embedded in the alveolar bone 30, and at the same time, the bone guiding / regenerating support 1 processed into a desired shape is used for the bone. Bone formation is performed covering the defect region 32. Similar to the first usage pattern, the combined use of an absorptive or nonabsorptive GBR film can be selectively performed. Then, the incised gingiva 20 is stitched, and the osteoinductive regeneration support 1 covering the bone defect region 32 is connected to the connective tissue 24 of the gingiva 20 and the fixture 40 as shown in FIG. Can be held in a state where the support 1 is held in a desired shape.

  After a period of several months, the alveolar bone 30 is guided by the bone tissue filling the bone defect region 32 so as to surround the alveolar bone 30 in which the fixture 40 is embedded, as shown in FIG. -Played. That is, the fixture 40 is firmly embedded and fixed in the alveolar bone 30 by the regenerated new alveolar bone 30. Accordingly, the gingiva 20 is incised again, the support 1 for osteoinductive regeneration is removed, and an abutment is mounted on the fixture 40. As a result, the implant treatment in which the bone formation by the GBR therapy is performed simultaneously with the implantation of the implant fixture 40 is completed.

  Depending on the site where the bone is to be guided / regenerated, there is no need for shape processing such as bending or bending of the support for bone guidance / regeneration 1, and the thin-film support for bone guidance / regeneration 1 is removed. There is also a usage pattern where it is attached to the site. That is, the thickness of the foil body 2 is 5 μm to 30 μm, and the bone guidance / regeneration support 1 is prepared so as to be flexible when blown, and bone replacement is performed at the bone defect site where the bone is to be guided / regenerated. After the material is transplanted, the osteoinductive regeneration support 1 may be attached so as to cover the bone filling material and the surrounding bone.
