Digital periodontal pocket depth measuring device

Abstract

The invention relates to a digital periodontal pocket depth measuring device. The measuring device comprises a shell, a probe, a traction line, a movable loop bar, a spring and a displacement sensor.When the probe props against the bottom of a periodontal pocket and receives downward force continuously, the probe can apply traction force to the traction line, the probe moves upwards along a probesleeve, the traction line drives the movable loop bar to compress the spring, and the movable loop bar moves forwards; when the probe leaves the bottom of the periodontal pocket, the probe stops applying force to the traction line, elasticity of the spring drives the movable sleeve bar to move backwards, and the probe can move downwards along the probe sleeve. By cooperation of the probe, the traction line, the movable loop bar and the spring, the depth of the periodontal pocket is converted into displacement of movable loop bar, the displacement sensor measures the displacement of the movable loop bar to acquire measured data about depth of the periodontal pocket, and the measuring device can realize periodontal pocket depth measuring function and directly record the measured data and acquire electronic measured data.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a dental equipment, in particular to a digital periodontal pocket depth measuring device. Background technique [0002] Periodontal pockets are pathologically deepened gingival sulcus, which is one of the most important clinical manifestations of periodontitis. The depth of the periodontal pocket is an important criterion for measuring the health of the gums. Therefore, the measurement of the depth of the periodontal pocket is an essential step in the treatment of the gums. [0003] In the prior art, the depth of the periodontal pocket is generally measured by a mechanical periodontal pocket probe. The structure of the mechanical periodontal pocket probe mainly includes a handle and a probe. The measurement process of the mechanical periodontal pocket probe is as follows: the doctor holds the handle, inserts the probe into the periodontal pocket, and slowly probes to t...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the mechanical periodontal pocket probes in the prior art can meet the most basic measurement functions, but cannot directly obtain electronic measurement data

Doctors need to repeatedly count and enter the PC terminal to obtain electronic measurement data, which has the disadvantages of being inconvenient to record measurement data and obtain electronic measurement data
