Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of mandibular orthopedics for animal experiments, and in particular relates to a mandibular advancement orthopedic device for mice and a method for constructing a mandibular condyle osteogenesis model. Background Art
[0002] Mandibular retraction not only affects facial aesthetics but also leads to malocclusion, affects the patient's feeding, and even in severe cases, reduces the volume of the airway, causing respiratory problems. During the peak growth and development period of children, mandibular retraction can be effectively treated by wearing a mandibular advancement appliance. However, much remains unknown about the growth and development of the mandible. The construction of a suitable animal experimental model is the cornerstone for further in-depth research on mandibular growth and development, and can provide a theoretical basis for further treatment of mandibular retraction.
[0003] Currently, experimental animal models for mandibular advancement are primarily based on rats or rabbits, and experimental devices are often simply modified versions of mandibular advancement appliances used in humans. However, due to significant differences in oral conditions between humans and rats or rabbits, mandibular advancement devices often suffer from issues such as inconsistent advancement, high shedding rates, and significant impact on the animals' feeding habits.
[0004] Mice offer advantages such as high reproductive capacity, reasonable price, and small size. Furthermore, mice are easily genetically modified and can simulate nearly any human disease or condition, making them an excellent experimental animal model. However, due to the small size of the mouse oral cavity, constructing experimental models within the oral cavity is challenging. Installing a mandibular advancement device and simulating mandibular advancement within the mouse oral cavity is even more challenging. Consequently, no mandibular advancement device currently exists that meets the requirements of being suitable for mouse oral wear, ensuring a sustained advancement time, reducing appliance shedding rates, and not interfering with the mouse's feeding habits.

[0042] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in some embodiments, both end portions of the first bent member 11 are located at the first pulling portion 12, and the two end portions are intersecting and tightly arranged, and both end portions are facing inward. By intersecting and tightly arranged the two end portions of the first pulling portion 12, the elastic leather ring is easily hooked into the first pulling portion 12 and is not easy to fall out. During the mandibular advancement process, the elastic leather ring can be prevented from detaching from the first pulling portion 12.

After cleaning the mandibular incisor 5 and drying, the second retaining portion 22 is bonded to the mandibular incisor 5 ... The part 22 is dipped in light-curing resin reinforced glass ionomer orthodontic adhesive and inserted from top to bottom along the cutting edge of the mandibular incisor 5. The position of the orthodontic component 2 in the mouse's mandible is adjusted, and the bilateral connecting parts 23 are placed symmetrically so that the second pulling part 24 is located on the buccal gingival side of the mandibular first molar in the mouse's mouth. Then, a dental light-curing lamp is used to make the light-curing resin reinforced glass ionomer orthodontic adhesive undergo a light-curing reaction on the mandibular incisor 5, so that the second retaining part 22 is bonded to the mandibular incisor 5.
[0046] like Figure 1-2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the second pulling portion 24 is formed by bending the two ends of the connecting member 23, and the second pulling portion 24 is circular. The other end of the elastic ring is easily hooked into the second pulling portion 24 and is not easy to fall out. During the mandibular advancement process, the elastic ring can be prevented from being separated from the second pulling portion 24. The first pulling portion 12 pulls the second pulling portion 24 through the elastic member 3, thereby pulling the mouse mandibular advancement.
[0047] The first bent part 11 and the second bent part 21 are both made of Australian wire, and both end surfaces of the Australian wire are circular with a diameter of 0.016".
[0048] like Figure 4-5 As shown, in some embodiments, the longitudinal cross-section of the second retaining portion 22 is circular, and the diameter of the second retaining portion 22 is D, the longitudinal cross-section of the second pulling portion 24 is circular, and the diameter of the second pulling portion 24 is I.
[0049] Among them, parameter D is 1.8~2.2mm, and parameter I is 0.8~1.2mm.
[0050] like Figure 4-5 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting member 23 includes a first connecting rod 231 on both sides and a second connecting rod 232 on both sides, and the length of the first connecting rod 231 is G, and the length of the second connecting rod 232 is H.
[0051] Among them, parameter G is 1.8~2.2mm, and parameter H is 2.8~3.2mm.
[0052] like Figure 4-5As shown, in some embodiments, the transverse cross-section of the second retaining portion 22 forms an angle a with the connecting member 23, the longitudinal cross-section of the second retaining portion 22 forms an angle b with the connection between the first connecting rod 231, and the first connecting rod 231 forms an angle c with the second connecting rod 232.
[0053] Among them, parameter a is 115°~125°, parameter b is 115°~125°, and parameter c is 155°~165°.
[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the distance between the starting points of the first connecting rods 231 on both sides is E, and the distance between the second pulling parts 24 on both sides is F.
[0055] The parameter E is 2.8~3.2mm, and the parameter F is 6.8~7.2mm.
[0056] Example 2
[0057] See Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention proposes a method for constructing a mandibular condyle osteogenic model, comprising the following steps:
[0058] Step 1: Bend the traction member 1 and the correction member 2, and hang the elastic member 3 into the second pulling portion 24;
[0059] The traction member 1 is bent by the following steps: the Australian wire is first bent into a circular shape with a diameter of 2.0 mm, namely the first retaining portion 13. After the upper and lower parts are crossed, the free ends on both sides are further bent into an elliptical shape, namely the first pulling portion 12. The first retaining portion 13 and the first pulling portion 12 intersect and overlap with each other, and the two ends of the first pulling portion 12 are arranged to intersect and fit together, both ends facing inward. Once the elastic ring is hung in the first pulling portion 12, the intersection and fit of the first pulling portion 12 can prevent the elastic ring from detaching.
[0060] Among them, the orthodontic component 2 is bent by the following steps: the Australian wire is first bent into a circle with a diameter of 2.0 mm, namely the second retaining portion 22. The Australian wires intersect in the middle and extend symmetrically horizontally by 3.0 mm. Then, they are bent in the horizontal direction to form an angle of 120°, and then bent into a connecting member 23. The connecting member 23 is bent in the vertical direction to form an angle of 120°, thereby forming a first connecting rod 231 with a length of 2.0 mm. The first connecting rod 231 is further bent in the vertical direction to form an angle of 160°, thereby forming a second connecting rod 232 with a length of 3.0 mm; both ends of the connecting member 23 are bent back to form a circle with a diameter of 1.0 mm to obtain a second pulling portion 24. The second pulling portion 24 can allow the elastic leather ring to be hung in and is not easy to fall out when performing its function in the mouse's mouth. The first connecting rod 231 and the second connecting rod 232 are both close to the buccal mucosal surface of the bilateral mandibular bones of the mouse, and the second pulling portion 24 is located on the buccal gingival side of the mandibular first molar in the mouse's oral cavity;
[0061] Among them, the traction piece 1 and the correction piece 2 are both Australian wires commonly used in orthodontic clinics, and the end faces of the Australian wires are both circular with a diameter of 0.016";
[0062] The elastic member 3 is an elastic leather ring commonly used in orthodontic clinics. The elastic leather ring is circular in a relaxed state, and the diameter of the circle is Inches, the maximum effective force of the elastic ring is 2.0Oz.
[0063] Step 2: The mice were generally anesthetized and a light-cured resin-reinforced glass ionomer orthodontic adhesive was prepared;
[0064] Among them, the light-curing resin-reinforced glass ionomer orthodontic adhesive is prepared in a powder-to-liquid mass ratio of 3:1; it needs to be freshly prepared before each use. If it is not used for more than 1 minute after preparation at room temperature, it needs to be discarded; the dosage of light-curing resin-reinforced glass ionomer orthodontic adhesive used in the first retention part 13 or the second retention part 22 of each mouse is 20-25 μL; the trade name of the light-curing resin-reinforced glass ionomer orthodontic adhesive used is light-curing orthodontic bonding cement (GC Fuji / ORTHO LC).
[0065] Step 3: Use a cotton swab dipped in 75% alcohol to clean the maxillary incisor 4. After drying, dip the first retaining part 13 in light-curing resin-reinforced glass ionomer orthodontic adhesive and insert it from bottom to top along the incisal edge of the maxillary incisor 4. Adjust the position of the traction member 1 in the upper jaw of the mouse's mouth so that the first pulling part 12 faces the outside of the mouse's mouth and is placed symmetrically. Then use a dental light curing lamp to perform a light curing reaction so that the first retaining part 13 is bonded to the maxillary incisor 4.
[0066] The dosage of the light-curable resin-reinforced glass ionomer orthodontic adhesive used in the first retention portion 13 in mice was 20 μL;
[0067] Among them, the wavelength of the dental curing light used is 470nm, and the adhesive needs to be irradiated from multiple directions for a total time of 20 to 30 seconds.
[0068] Step 4: Use a cotton swab dipped in 75% alcohol to clean the mandibular incisor 5. After it dries, dip the second retaining part 22 in light-curing resin-reinforced glass ionomer orthodontic adhesive and insert it from top to bottom along the incisal edge of the mandibular incisor 5. Adjust the position of the orthodontic device 2 in the mandibular of the mouse so that the bilateral connecting parts 23 are symmetrically placed and the second pulling part 24 is located on the buccal and gingival side of the mandibular first molar of the mouse. Then, use a dental light curing lamp to perform light curing reaction so that the second retaining part 22 is bonded to the mandibular incisor 5.
[0069] The dosage of the light-curable resin-reinforced glass ionomer orthodontic adhesive used in the second retention portion 22 in mice was 20 μL;
[0070] Among them, the wavelength of the dental curing light used is 470nm, and the adhesive needs to be irradiated from multiple directions for a total time of 20 to 30 seconds.
[0071] Step 5: Stretch the elastic member 3 toward the outside of the mouse's oral cavity and hang it into the first pulling portion 12 to complete the installation of the mandibular advancement correction device.
[0072] Among them, the force value of the elastic leather ring in the working state measured by the dynamometer commonly used in orthodontic clinical practice is 8 to 10g.
[0073] The present invention proposes the principle of constructing a mandibular condyle osteogenesis model: when the mandible leads forward, the mandibular condyle slides out of the articular fossa, resulting in increased activity of the pterygoid muscle. Continuous mechanical stimulation increases the force on the mandibular condyle, thereby promoting the activation of local growth factors and causing adaptive changes in the morphology and structure of the mandibular condyle. This will promote endochondral ossification of the mandibular condyle and trigger new bone formation in the mandibular condyle. The present invention proposes constructing a mandibular condyle osteogenesis model-mediated mandibular condyle osteogenesis, which is mainly located in the posterior part of the mandibular condyle head because this part is subjected to more mechanical traction, resulting in adaptive remodeling of the condylar cartilage.
[0074] In summary, through Example 1 and Example 2, the mandibular advancement correction device of Example 1 can not only effectively guide the mouse mandible, but also keep the mouse mandible in a continuously protruding state, which can better simulate the state of a person wearing a mandibular advancement correction device, and solve the problems of other mandibular advancement correction devices such as unsustainable leading time, easy falling off, or inconvenience in eating when worn; the method for constructing the mandibular condyle osteogenesis model of Example 2 not only facilitates the installation of the mandibular advancement correction device in mice, but also uses a light-cured resin reinforced glass ionomer orthodontic adhesive to The traction member 1 and the correction member 2 are prevented from falling off, thereby reducing the falling rate of the correction device and improving the stability and success rate of the mandibular advancement experiment. After the second retaining portion 22 and the first retaining portion 13 are bonded to the corresponding incisors, the second pulling portion is located outside the buccal gum of the mandibular molar in the mouse's mouth, and the first pulling portion is located outside the mouse's oral cavity, so that the correction device will not affect the mouse's eating. In addition, because the elastic member continuously functions, the mouse's mandible is continuously in a protruding state, which can best simulate the state of a person wearing a mandibular advancement appliance. The mandibular advancement correction device designed by the present invention and the method for constructing a mandibular condyle osteogenesis model have wide applicability. The mandibular advancement correction device can be proportionally enlarged according to the size of the rat or rabbit's oral cavity, solving the problems of other mandibular advancement correction devices such as inconsistent leading time, easy falling off, or difficulty in eating when worn.
