Shell plate for artificial teeth with arrangement assisting function

Abstract

An artificial teeth packaging container 1 includes an artificial teeth accommodating portion 7 for fixing a plurality of continuously arranged artificial teeth 2 detachably, and holding an arrangement position relation with an adjacent artificial teeth and an arrangement position relation with an upper or lower artificial molar teeth, in which the artificial teeth accommodating portion 7 covers the plurality of artificial teeth 2 from an occlusal plane in a state exposed around a cervical portion.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to an artificial teeth packaging container used for the purpose of conveying and storing the artificial teeth when manufacturing a denture in dental treatment.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Existing artificial teeth are disposed on a protuberance formed on a wax rim when manufacturing a denture by using an articulator, and the arrangement is adjusted by matching with a state of occlusion of individual patients. The artificial teeth usually include twelve artificial teeth for the upper jaw and the lower jaw corresponding to right and left central incisors, lateral incisors, and canine teeth, and sixteen artificial teeth for the upper jaw and the lower jaw corresponding to first premolars, second premolars, first molars, and second molars for right and left. Usually when selling the artificial teeth, six anterior teeth for the upper jaw and the lower jaw, or eight artificial molar teeth for the upper jaw and the lower jaw are arranged in a row, ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0013]An accommodating state of artificial teeth in an artificial teeth packaging container of the invention is preferably a state where the artificial teeth is accommodate in an arrangement state, and more preferably, upon manufacturing the denture, when the artificial teeth contained in the artificial teeth packaging container are waxed, an artificial arrangement should be formed on the denture, so that a plurality of artificial teeth may be arranged in batch while maintaining an arrangement position relation with the adjacent artificial teeth and an arrangement position with upper or lower artificial teeth, and therefore the arrangement work of the artificial teeth may be easier and more efficient. As compared with the conventional seat plate, since a package structure is simple, and manufacturing materials may be saved, and the efficiency in manufacturing process may be stabilized. Moreover, since fixing of the artificial teeth is free from effects of temperature changes during conveying or storing process, and separation or loss of the artificial teeth may be prevented.

Problems solved by technology

However, in the configuration shown in patent documents 1 to 3, since an upper, lower, right and left positional relation of the artificial teeth is not clear, when arranging the artificial teeth, occlusion adjustment work is difficult depending on the artificial teeth to be arranged, and a denture not suited sufficiently to an occlusal state of a patient may be manufactured.

Besides, in such seat plate, in the manufacturing process, the artificial teeth may be adhered by mistake to a different position than a position specified on the seat plate.

Further, when the artificial teeth are used, the sorting and discarding of the seat plate may be complicated.

However, in this configuration, separation work of the artificial teeth and the maintenance holder is needed after arrangement, or when cutting off the connected portion, nippers or similar tools may be needed, and the operation in the arrangement process may be more complicated.
