Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of jaw position analysis in dentistry, in particular to a digital jaw position analysis instrument. BACKGROUND

[0002] Jaw position analysis usually needs to use a facebow to obtain the relationship between the condyle and the upper dental model (the process of transferring the spatial position relationship of the condyle and the upper dental model to the jaw frame using the facebow, which is referred to as facebow transfer), the facebow has two earballs inserted into the external auditory canal of the patient, and another nose support is fixed on the nasal bridge, which uses three points to stabilize the entire facebow and prevent it from shaking. However, when occluding, the condyle moves backward and hits the front wall of the external auditory canal, causing the earballs placed in the external auditory canal to shake, resulting in the entire facebow to shake. Therefore, it is not possible to obtain the true condylar axis position while obtaining the spatial relationship between the condyle and the upper dental model. That is, the condylar axis position obtained by the mandibular movement tracing instrument is separate from the upper dental model position obtained by the facebow, and cannot be completed on the same instrument.

[0003] Since the condyle is inside the skull, the spatial position relationship cannot be directly obtained, so the conventional method is to replace the condyle with the earballs of the facebow, but this causes errors. Therefore, there is a special mandibular movement tracing instrument that places a small plate in the anterior region of the tragus, and after fixing the articulator to the lower dental arch, the horizontal bar connected to the articulator and the pointer together trace the movement trajectory of the condyle on the small plate, and the center point of the condylar axis can be traced. Since the distance between the external auditory canal and the condyle is very close, only 5-10 mm, there is currently no device that can combine the two. Therefore, an instrument that can be used as a conventional facebow and can also trace the condylar axis is needed to facilitate clinical operation.

[0004] CN 117898825 discloses a method for solving the condylar rotation axis based on the mandibular movement trajectory, but this method requires taking a full skull CT and segmenting the mandible, then registering the segmented mandibular teeth with the scanned dental model, which is time-consuming and laborious. At the same time, the accuracy of the segmented mandibular model from the CT image is low, and there is a large error in the registration with the scanned dental model. CN 113040952 and US2017037110W disclose a virtual model of joint movement obtained by intraoral scanning, which calculates the condylar axis by scanning different occlusion positions. However, this method requires intraoral scanning of several or even dozens of occlusion positions, as one intraoral scan takes 3-5 minutes, it is difficult for patients to persist in doing so many occlusion actions. The calculated condylar axis also has a large error and is not the true condylar axis position. This will delay the doctor's clinical time and the patient's experience is also poor.

[0005] Clinically, facebow transfer for patients typically takes only 5-10 minutes, while fixing the plaster model to the jaw frame can take more than an hour, making it difficult for clinicians to perform jaw position analysis. Therefore, an instrument is needed that can simultaneously perform mandibular motion recording, condylar axis recording, and facebow transfer, directly obtaining condylar axis coordinates, infraorbital point coordinates, and condylar width values, enabling faster jaw position analysis. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The advantages of this invention are that it can be used as a conventional facebow, as well as to record the condylar axis and mandibular movement trajectory. It can directly obtain the spatial coordinates of each key point and integrate the condylar axis coordinates into the same coordinate system of the facebow for digital jaw position analysis. It eliminates the need for a complex mandibular motion recorder, allowing for faster jaw position analysis. It integrates multiple functions, eliminating the need for doctors to purchase two sets of devices. It accurately analyzes the mandibular position, saves costs, and greatly simplifies clinical work. It is used to check whether the mandibular position of orthodontic patients is abnormal.

[0022] Further, the movement directions of the facebow assembly, the suborbicular point assembly, the condylar axis assembly, the tracing assembly and the mandibular movement assembly, and the components on the five assemblies, are parallel or perpendicular to the long axis of the left and right horizontal rods.

[0023] In an embodiment, the digital jaw position analyzer has four use methods as follows:

[0024] The first use method: the facebow assembly and the suborbicular point assembly are matched to be used as a conventional facebow.

Thus, features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise explicitly and specifically limited.

[0044] As shown in Figure 1 A digital jaw position analyzer, comprising: a facebow assembly 1, a suborbicular point assembly 2, a condyle axis assembly 3, a tracing assembly 4 and a mandibular movement assembly 5, the facebow assembly is the main body of the digital jaw position analyzer, connected with the suborbicular point assembly, the condyle axis assembly, the tracing assembly and the mandibular movement assembly, the right side is connected with the suborbicular point assembly, the tracing assembly is located at the rear side of the suborbicular point assembly, the condyle axis assembly is located at the right side of the tracing assembly, and the mandibular movement assembly is located at the lower end of the facebow assembly.

[0045] As shown in Figure 2 The facebow assembly comprises: a fixed body 101, left and right horizontal rods 102 and 103, a universal joint fixing hole 104, an arch 107, ear balls 109, a condyle axis pointer 301 and a nose pad 600, the left and right horizontal rods are located on the left and right sides of the fixed body, are parallel to each other and have length adjustment assemblies 106, the arches at the two ends of the left and right sides are connected with the ear balls and the left and right horizontal rods respectively, the nose pad is located at the upper end of the fixed body, and the distance between the center points of the bilateral ear balls corresponds to the value indicated on the condyle width scale 105.

[0046] As shown in Figure 3 The nose pad 600 comprises: a nose pad 601, a nose pad sliding rod 602, a vertical sliding block 603, a horizontal adjustment screw 604, a horizontal sliding block 605, a U-shaped groove 606 and a vertical adjustment screw 607, the nose pad is a detachable component and works in cooperation with the facebow assembly, and the sliding directions of the vertical sliding block, the horizontal sliding block and the nose pad sliding rod of the nose pad are perpendicular to each other.

[0047] Further, the length adjustment assembly can also be fixed and not adjusted, that is, a conventional facebow, which can shorten the length of the left and right horizontal rods of the facebow through the length adjustment assembly, so as to facilitate children to use the facebow.

[0048] As shown in Figure 1 The ear ball adjustment screw 108 on the ear ball can adjust the depth of the ear ball into the external auditory canal, when the adjustment screw is completely locked, the distance between the center points of the bilateral ear balls is consistent with the condyle width scale value of the fixed body, and when the adjustment screw is adjusted in the reverse direction, the ear ball can be separated from the external auditory canal, preventing the impact of the ear ball during condyle axis tracing, so as to avoid the deviation of the condyle axis tracing.

[0049] As shown in Figure 4As shown, the infraorbital point assembly includes: infraorbital point pointer 201 and pointer slider 203, pointer slider convex slot 204 head embedded in the U-shaped hole 202 of the pointer along the U-shaped gap sliding, the infraorbital point pointer and the pointer slider cooperate to realize the front and back, lateral sliding perpendicular to each other, such sliding ensures that the scale value of the infraorbital point can be accurately read at any time, and the software is convenient for inputting analysis and calculation.

[0050] For example, the vertex of the infraorbital point pointer on the infraorbital point assembly and the plane composed of the three points of the center points of the two earballs form a plane parallel to the plane composed of the left and right horizontal rods, and the two planes are parallel to each other, ensuring that the movement on the mechanical structure can be converted into a numerical value, and the scale value can be read and input into the software.

[0051] Further, the vertex of the infraorbital point pointer on the infraorbital point assembly and the plane composed of the three points of the center points of the two earballs can also be parallel to the plane composed of the left and right horizontal rods. The advantage of parallel is that it is convenient for calculation. If it is not parallel, the parameters read need to be input into the matching software for calculation after space coordinate conversion, increasing the complexity.

[0053] As shown, Figure 10 The scale values indicated by the condyle shaft pointer, the condyle shaft sliding rod and the condyle shaft sliding block are the space coordinates of the condyle surface points. The left condyle surface point a and the right condyle surface point b are connected by ab, and the intersection A of the straight line ab and the sagittal plane passing through the left earball center point c is the left condyle center point.

The T-shaped tracing plate has vertical plate 402 and horizontal plate 403. The horizontal plate of the T-shaped tracing plate has a U-shaped groove matched with the convex slot of the tracing slider. The tracing plate slides in the front and back and left and right directions. When the left and right tracing plates slide inward, they can clamp the head to provide stability for the analyzer.

[0055] As shown, Figure 7As shown, a new digital jaw position analyzer, the condylar axis pointer 301 and condylar axis slide rod 302 in the original condylar axis assembly are installed in the tracing slider 404. Unlike the original movement, the condylar axis pointer can move in the direction parallel or perpendicular to the long axis of the left and right horizontal rods.

[0056] As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 The mandibular movement assembly includes: movement rod 501, movement rod adjusting seat 502, articulator 503, silicone gasket 504, rubber band 505, tracing pen 506 and tracing pen adjusting block 508.

[0060] Step 2: Move the vertical plate 402 to make it fit the temple and tighten it. Put the strap through the back of the head 407 and the top of the head strap mounting hole 408, and tighten the strap to prevent the face bow assembly 1 from moving;

[0061] Step 3: Adjust the infraorbital point pointer 201 so that its head is aligned with the infraorbital point.

[0062] Step 4: Back off the ear ball adjusting screw so that the ear ball 109 is withdrawn by 2-10 mm, so that the condyle movement will not collide with the ear ball.
