Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a dental tooth filling device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of tooth repair treatment, resin filling is one of the commonly used techniques. The resin material used in root canal treatment is different from the resin material used in other ordinary tooth filling. For example, the resin material used in root canal treatment is more fluid and more affinity to the nerve of the tooth bed. Figure 1 As shown in S1, the S1 part is the main part of the tooth, which is usually exposed outside the gum, and the S2 part is the root part of the tooth, which is wrapped by the gum. The ordinary tooth damage usually refers to the tooth surface damage shown in S3, and a clip is usually used to hold a hard resin material to fill the damaged part during repair. However, the root canal treatment is needed to repair the damage of S4 and S2 parts, and the tooth hole close to the root of the tooth needs to be polished in the tooth, as shown in S4. Figure 9 The space in the tooth hole is small, so the resin material used is usually more fluid and more affinity to the nerve of the tooth bed.

[0003] The traditional operation process requires the dentist to repeatedly alternate between filling resin material and ultraviolet light curing: first, use the injection head to fill the resin material into the tooth hole in layers, and then replace the light curing lamp to make it solidify. This process needs to switch the instruments many times. This alternating operation not only prolongs the treatment time and increases the discomfort of the patient, but also increases the risk of cross contamination due to the frequent in and out of the oral cavity. In addition, due to the small space in the oral cavity, the injection head is not easy to align with the tooth hole when the dentist fills the resin, and the dentist needs to frequently adjust the position to adjust the injection head to the point directly opposite the tooth hole, which will further deepen the discomfort of the patient and the workload of the dentist.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] Please refer to Figures 1-8 The application provides a technical solution: a dental tooth filling device, comprising a handle 1, a tube body 2, and an injection part, the tube body 2 is fixedly connected with the handle 1 and the injection part at both ends; The injection part comprises a frame 3 and an injection tube 4 rotatably connected with the frame 3, and an injection head 5 and an ultraviolet lamp 6 are installed on the injection tube 4 at upper and lower positions respectively; the injection tube 4 is connected with the tube body 2; A rotating mechanism is provided on the tube body 2, which is used to drive the injection tube 4 to rotate relative to the frame 3; The injection tube 4 is provided with a telescopic mechanism, which is used for driving the injection head 5 to retract into the injection tube 4 and extend out of the injection tube 4 when the injection tube 4 drives the injection head 5 to rotate to the inside and outside positions of the frame body 3 respectively; In use, when filling the tooth, the dentist needs to polish and clean the damaged part of the tooth body to form a clean filling space, which is a deep hole Figure 1 As shown, then the dentist holds the handle 1 to insert the injection part into the hole position of the patient's mouth, and then starts the rotating mechanism to drive the injection tube 4 to rotate by 180 degrees, so that the injection head 5 and the ultraviolet lamp 6 are located at the lower side and the upper side of the injection tube 4 respectively, and the injection head 5 is located opposite to the hole position of the tooth to be filled. At this time, the driving mechanism drives the telescopic mechanism to operate, and the telescopic mechanism drives the injection head 5 to extend out of the injection tube 4. After the dentist controls the injection head 5 to be aligned with and inserted into the filling hole of the tooth through the handle 1, the filling material is quantitatively filled into the tooth hole through the injection head 5 by the external controller.

[0018] After the filling material is filled to a layer, the ultraviolet lamp 6 is needed for curing. The injection head 5 is retracted into the injection tube 4 by starting the telescopic mechanism, and then the injection tube 4 is rotated by 180 degrees by starting the rotating mechanism to reset. At this time, the ultraviolet lamp 6 is located at the position of irradiating the filling material, and the filling material can be quickly cured by the irradiation of the ultraviolet lamp 6. The filling of the tooth can be effectively completed by repeatedly filling and curing. Compared with the traditional method that the filling device is removed from the patient's mouth by the dentist after the tooth is filled, and the ultraviolet lamp 6 is inserted into the patient's mouth for curing, the device can effectively simplify the filling operation of the dentist and improve the efficiency of tooth filling. By setting the injection head 5 to extend out of the injection tube 4 during injection, the injection head 5 can be inserted into the tooth hole, so that the dentist can quickly align and determine the injection position in the narrow oral environment, and the resin can be prevented from being injected into other positions.
