Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of periodontal splints, in particular to a periodontal splint with composite functions. Background Art

[0002] The direct harm of periodontal disease is that it causes the teeth to gradually loosen and shift, making it difficult for patients to chew, affecting their appearance, pronunciation, and mental health. Connecting the loose teeth with the surrounding relatively healthy teeth through splints to form a "multi-root giant tooth" can mobilize the compensatory capacity of the periodontal tissue, effectively disperse the bite force, reduce the load on the periodontal tissue of individual teeth, and improve tolerance to tilting external forces; it can also limit the displacement and elongation of the loose teeth and reduce food impaction. A periodontal splint is a medical device used to treat periodontal disease. Its main function is to connect and fix the loose teeth together, disperse the bite force, reduce the burden on the affected teeth, thereby preventing the teeth from further loosening, shifting, or even falling off, while creating a stable environment for the repair of periodontal tissues.

[0003] At present, some periodontal disease patients not only have symptoms of loose teeth, but also face the dilemma of insufficient remaining bone after the extraction of the lower front teeth due to periodontitis, and implant restoration faces challenges. In this case of both loose teeth and missing teeth, a single periodontal plate retention cannot meet the needs of patients. Therefore, this application provides a periodontal splint with composite functions to meet the needs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a periodontal splint with composite functions to solve the problem that the existing periodontal splint needs to be constantly adjusted when installed in the patient's mouth to meet the needs of different patients with uneven teeth, which increases the inconvenience of doctors' operation.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A periodontal splint with composite functions comprises: a tooth body; a splint body bonded to the tooth body; two guide modules respectively arranged at both ends of the tooth body for assisting the positioning of the splint body; and a denture arranged on the splint body.

[0007] The two ends of the splint body are thinner than the width of the splint body by one third, so as to form a groove.

[0008] Both ends of the clamping plate body are connected to the guide module through zirconia.

[0009] The clamping plate body is arc-shaped, and the surface has slight undulations to avoid stress concentration.

[0010] The splint body and the denture are integrated.

[0011] The thickness of the splint body is set to 0.881 mm.

[0012] The splint body and the denture are formed in one step by 3D printing.

[0013] The denture is made of biocompatible materials.

[0014] It also includes: a drug sustained-release layer, which is arranged on the splint body and away from one end of the tooth body.

[0015] It also includes: a microcapsule, which is arranged in the drug sustained-release layer.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0017] In the above scheme, personalized design can be carried out based on the patient's oral scan data to ensure that the splint fits perfectly with the patient's specific tooth structure. By setting up dentures, missing teeth caused by periodontal disease or other reasons can be filled, which not only restores the patient's chewing function, but also improves the aesthetics and pronunciation problems. The splint body connects the loose teeth with the surrounding healthy teeth, which can disperse the bite force and reduce the burden on individual teeth. At the same time, the periodontal splint fixes the patient's teeth, limits their displacement and elongation, and reduces the risk of food impaction.

[0018] By setting up the guide module, splint body and denture, and forming them in one go through 3D printing technology, seamless connection between all components is ensured, and potential problems at the interface, such as loosening or breakage, are reduced. The guide module then assists the splint body in accurate positioning, simplifying the installation process of the periodontal splint. The zirconia connection between the guide module and the splint is one-third thinner than the width of the splint, forming a groove, which creates a weak point between the guide module and the splint. After the installation is completed, the guide module is separated from the splint body by applying appropriate force, leaving only the splint body and denture for patient treatment, ensuring the long-term stability and functionality of the splint body.

[0019] By setting up a drug sustained-release layer and microcapsules, it can be ensured that the drug can be continuously released into the oral environment, thereby effectively inhibiting bacterial growth, preventing infection, and promoting the repair of periodontal tissues, while reducing the discomfort caused by periodontal disease, such as pain and sensitivity, and improving the patient's oral comfort.

[0025] As shown in the figure, in order to clearly implement the structure of the embodiment of the present invention, specific structures and devices are marked in the figure, but this is only for illustrative purposes and is not intended to limit the present invention to the specific structure, device and environment. According to specific needs, ordinary technicians in this field can adjust or modify these devices and environments, and the adjustments or modifications made are still included in the scope of the appended claims. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following describes in detail a periodontal splint with multiple functions provided by the present invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It is also noted that, to provide a more detailed description, the following embodiments are best and preferred embodiments, and those skilled in the art may employ alternative methods for implementing certain known technologies. Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are intended only to provide a more detailed description of the embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0027] like Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a periodontal splint with composite functions, comprising: a tooth body 1; a splint body 2 bonded to the tooth body 1; two guide modules 3, respectively arranged at both ends of the tooth body 1, for assisting in positioning the splint body 2; and a denture 4, arranged on the splint body 2.

[0028] The ends of the clamp body 2 are one-third thinner than the width of the clamp body 2, forming a groove 5. This tapering creates an area of ​​concentrated stress, making it more susceptible to breakage or separation when subjected to external forces. The groove 5 also creates a weak point at the connection between the guide module 3 and the clamp body 2, making it easy to remove the guide module 3 after installation without damaging the clamp body 2.

[0029] Both ends of the clamping plate body 2 are connected to the guide module 3 through zirconia.

[0030] The splint body 2 is curved, with a slightly undulating surface to prevent stress concentration. This curved design and undulations more evenly distribute bite forces and other external forces, reducing the impact of concentrated stress on a specific area. The undulating design helps prevent stress concentration at a single point, thereby reducing the risk of the splint body 2 breaking during use.

[0031] The splint body 2 and the denture 4 are integrated.

[0032] The thickness of the splint body 2 is set to 0.881 mm.

[0033] The splint body 2 and the denture 4 are formed in one step by 3D printing.

[0034] The denture 4 is made of biocompatible material.

[0035] The integrated design ensures a seamless connection between the splint body 2 and the denture 4, reducing potential problems at the interface, such as loosening or breakage. The denture 4 made of biocompatible materials can better integrate with the patient's oral environment, reducing allergic reactions and discomfort.

[0036] The device also includes a drug-release layer 7, which is disposed on the splint body 2 and at one end away from the tooth body 1. The drug-release layer 7 allows for sustained drug release, providing a long-term therapeutic effect. The drug directly acts on the periodontal tissue, increasing local drug concentration and enhancing the therapeutic effect. Anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to alleviate periodontal inflammation, reducing symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, and bleeding; antibacterial drugs can inhibit the growth of periodontal pathogens and reduce the risk of infection; and drugs that promote tissue regeneration, such as growth factors or other bioactive substances, can accelerate the healing process of periodontal tissue.

[0037] The invention also includes microcapsules 6 disposed in the drug sustained-release layer 7. By providing the microcapsules 6, the release rate of the drug can be controlled to ensure that the drug is continuously released within a predetermined time, while protecting the drug from the influence of the external environment, such as changes in temperature, humidity and pH value, thereby maintaining the stability and effectiveness of the drug.

[0038] The technical solution provided by the present invention is to first scan or take a mold of the patient's oral cavity to obtain specific data of the tooth body 1, use the obtained data to design a personalized periodontal splint on a computer, use 3D printing technology to form the entire periodontal splint in one go, apply a proper amount of adhesive material on the bonding surface of the splint body 2, first fix two guide modules 3 on both ends of the patient's loose teeth, follow the positioning of the guide modules 3, accurately fit the splint body 2 and the tooth body 1, and the splint body 2 and the denture 4 are firmly in place, and remove the guide modules 3 using the principle of stress concentration.

[0039] This invention encompasses any alternatives, modifications, equivalents, and solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this invention. While specific details are described in detail in the preferred embodiments of this invention to provide a thorough understanding, those skilled in the art will be able to fully understand this invention without these details. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the essence of this invention, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits have not been described in detail.

[0040] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
