Embodiment Construction

[0029] The present invention proceeds from the general inventive idea of ​​providing an accessory for an apex positioning device, usually in the form of a fitting held by suitable means against the tooth to be treated or against an adjacent tooth, the accessory comprising a device device. In the broadest sense, the connection between the apex locating device and the accessory is a wireless connection, for example via waves of radio frequency, which solves any problems with wired connections and gives the operator complete freedom to move. In the simplified method of the invention, the accessory comprises connection means between the apex positioning device and the endodontic tool on the one hand, and between said device and the patient on the other hand. By thus grouping the connector technology associated with the application of the apex positioning device into a separate element mounted in the patient's mouth, the electrical connection wires can be combined into one bundle,...

Abstract

The invention relates to an accessory for an apex locating apparatus, characterized in that it comprises a fitting (16) held with the aid of electrically conducting fastening means (20, 50) to the tooth to be treated or to a neighbouring tooth (14) and which comprises first means (36, 54) for wire-based electrical connection (44) between the apex locating apparatus (2) and the endodonty tool (46), and second means (28, 52) for wire-based electrical connection (34) between said apparatus (2) and the patient. The invention also relates to such an accessory characterized in that it comprises means for wireless electrical connection between said fitting and said apex locating apparatus.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to accessories for apex positioning devices. Background technique [0002] A major problem encountered in endodontics during root canal treatment is the need to be able to reach the apical foramen of the tooth root as precisely as possible without piercing the apical foramen. It is therefore necessary to be able to measure the length of the root canal. Several methods exist for this. [0003] The well known and most widely used method is penetrating. The operator / physician estimates the length of the canal by gradually inserting the file into the canal. This manual method does not require any special tools and is entirely dependent on the skill of the operator. [0004] Another method consists in taking x-rays of the teeth to be treated. By analyzing the X-rays, the operator can evaluate the geometry of the root canal and identify the location of the apical foramen. However, the position of the apex shown by X-rays o...
