Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of dentistry, and in particular to a two-in-one measuring ruler and a measuring method for implant restoration space and cuff depth. Background Art

[0002] The loss of edentulous teeth has an impact on the quality of life of patients that cannot be underestimated. After removable dentures, dental implants are being promoted by more and more doctors. Under the craze of "national implants", implant-related complications have begun to emerge in large numbers. According to existing research, it is mainly caused by three aspects. One is the patient's own factors, such as bad bite habits, incorrect periodontal care of dental implants, etc.; the second is the poor characteristics of implant materials, such as poor mechanical properties or biocompatibility; the third is the poor three-dimensional position of the implant in the bone caused by iatrogenic factors, insufficient thickness of the soft tissue around the implant, and poor restoration design. These may be caused by the doctor's failure to make a correct implant design plan before the operation, operational errors caused by lack of experience during the implant operation, and errors in measuring the space of the surgical area. Therefore, it is urgent to scientifically and rationally design the implant plan, accurately and efficiently implement the implant operation, and make the upper restoration.

[0003] At present, most clinicians still use empirical model analysis and visual measurement of soft and hard tissue dimensions instead of scientific and rigorous intraoral analysis methods. Such analysis results are easily affected by a variety of uncertain factors, resulting in immeasurable consequences. In addition, model analysis is also limited by measuring equipment, and it is difficult to accurately analyze some irregular parts. In addition, many doctors will miss the examination of the patient's mouth opening (the vertical distance between the edges of the upper and lower central incisors when the mouth is wide open) and the occlusal distance (the vertical distance between the upper surface of the implant and the opposing teeth when the upper and lower teeth are in the widest contact), so that problems are discovered during the actual operation, and they put themselves in an embarrassing dilemma. If measured intraorally, there are also some special areas, such as narrow and deep peri-implant spaces or other spatial tissues, which also require specific instruments to be able to enter the measurement smoothly, and can be achieved in all four areas of the mouth. Such instruments require sophisticated design and convenient reading.

[0004] In summary, the current spatial analysis of implant restoration is limited by clinical experience and measuring equipment, and the conclusions drawn are not reliable. Therefore, there is an urgent clinical need for a measuring ruler that integrates multiple measurement functions and performs measurement and analysis accurately and efficiently, which is also the problem solved by the present invention. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a two-in-one measuring ruler and a measuring method for implant restoration space and cuff depth. The measuring ruler integrates multiple measuring functions and can accurately and efficiently measure relevant parameters before conventional oral implant restoration, as well as relevant parameters before, during and after digital guide plate implant surgery, so as to solve the problem that the current implant restoration space analysis is limited by clinical experience and measuring equipment, resulting in unreliable conclusions.

[0006] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] Two-in-one measuring ruler for implant restoration space and cuff depth, including a rectangular measuring ruler and a cuff height measuring ruler;

[0008] The rectangular measuring ruler is provided with scales in the length direction, and the width of the rectangular measuring ruler is 10-12 mm;

[0009] The cuff height measuring ruler is arranged on the front side of the rectangular measuring ruler through a rotating shaft. The cuff height measuring ruler is provided with a scale. When the cuff height measuring ruler is rotated to a position parallel to the rectangular measuring ruler, the end of the cuff height measuring ruler protrudes from the end of the rectangular measuring ruler.

[0010] The front side of the present invention specifically refers to the side facing the person being measured during measurement. The ends of the rectangular measuring ruler and the cuff depth measuring ruler are both 90-degree planes, and are made of stainless steel.

[0011] The measuring ruler of the present invention cleverly adds a rotatable cuff height measuring ruler to the rectangular measuring ruler, which is convenient for doctors to choose to use the cuff height measuring ruler at any time when using the rectangular measuring ruler, and can adjust the direction of the cuff height measuring ruler according to needs. The width of the rectangular measuring ruler is specially designed, so that the measuring ruler of the present invention can accurately and efficiently measure the relevant parameters before conventional oral implant restoration, as well as the relevant parameters before, during and after digital guide plate implant surgery, realizing the integration of multiple measurement functions, and solving the problem that the current implant restoration space analysis is limited by clinical experience and measuring equipment, resulting in unreliable conclusions.

[0012] The measuring ruler of the present invention can directly measure the maximum opening of the patient, and can simply and accurately judge whether the operating space during surgery is sufficient, thereby avoiding consequences such as obstruction of surgical instruments and inability to perform surgery due to visual misjudgment; it can also be used to measure and analyze the buccolingual diameter, mesiodistal diameter, keratinized gingival width, etc. of the edentulous area before implant restoration surgery, and assist the operator in selecting the implantation position and model; during and after the operation, the rectangular measuring ruler and the cuff height measuring ruler of the measuring ruler can accurately measure and control soft and hard tissues such as the gingival mucosal thickness and the peri-implant space, especially narrow and precise spaces and / or tissues, and especially in the posterior tooth area, the cuff height measuring ruler can be rotated to adjust the angle according to the doctor's needs.

[0013] Furthermore, the rotating shaft is arranged in the middle of the rectangular measuring ruler.

[0014] Furthermore, when the cuff height measuring ruler is rotated to a position parallel to the rectangular measuring ruler, the cuff height measuring ruler is located in the middle of the rectangular measuring ruler in the width direction.

[0015] The above setting can be used to conveniently measure the left and right sides as needed, just by rotating the cuff depth measuring ruler.

[0016] Furthermore, the rectangular measuring ruler has a width of 10 mm and a thickness of 1 mm.

[0017] Furthermore, the length of the rectangular measuring ruler is 33 mm, and the length of the cuff height measuring ruler is 26.5 mm.

[0018] Furthermore, the minimum scale line spacing of the scale on the rectangular measuring ruler is 0.5 mm, and the minimum scale line spacing of the scale on the cuff height measuring ruler is 0.5 mm.

[0019] Furthermore, scales are provided at the upper end and the lower end in the length direction of the rectangular measuring ruler.

[0020] Furthermore, the front side surface and the rear measuring surface of the rectangular measuring ruler are both provided with scales.

[0021] Furthermore, marking areas are provided at intervals between scales on the cuff height measuring ruler.

[0022] The setting of the marking area is conducive to quick reading.

[0023] Furthermore, it also includes a connecting rod, the upper end of which is connected to the lower end of the rectangular measuring ruler.

[0024] The measuring method of the two-in-one measuring ruler for implant restoration space and cuff depth is characterized by comprising measuring the implant restoration space and measuring the cuff depth;

[0025] Measuring implant restoration space:

[0026] When the patient opens his mouth to the maximum, the measuring head is erected on the patient's area to be repaired, the cuff height measuring ruler is placed in the original position, and the lower end of the rectangular measuring ruler is vertically in contact with the patient's area to be repaired. If the upper end of the cuff height measuring ruler is not blocked by the opposing teeth, it means that the opening height exceeds the maximum length of the measuring head, and the patient's implant surgery operation space meets the space requirements for digital guide implant surgery; otherwise, the patient is not suitable for digital guide implant surgery; at this time, the cuff height measuring ruler is moved to the unblocked side (the side of the connecting rod 4), and the lower end of the rectangular measuring ruler is vertically in contact with the patient's area to be repaired. The upper end of the rectangular measuring ruler is not blocked by the opposing teeth, indicating that the opening height is greater than the length of the rectangular measuring ruler, indicating that the patient's implant surgery operation space meets the requirements for conventional implant surgery; otherwise, the implant surgery operation space is insufficient and the patient is not suitable for conventional implant surgery;

[0027] Measure the cuff depth:

[0028] The patient opens his mouth to the limit to measure the opening degree of the edentulous area, and the cuff height measuring ruler is rotated to an angle that can enter the cuff to measure the cuff height.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0030] 1.

[0031] 2. By using the scale of the measuring ruler of the present invention and the specially designed thickness and width of the rectangular measuring ruler, the cuff height and the tip diameter of the measuring ruler, the buccal and lingual diameter, the mesiodistal diameter, the keratinized gingival width, etc. of the edentulous area can be accurately and quickly measured before implant restoration surgery; during and after the operation, the soft and hard tissues such as the gingival mucosal thickness, the cuff height, and the peri-implant space can be accurately measured and controlled.

[0032] 3.
