Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an endodontic file holding bracket, and more particularly to an endodontic file holding bracket which can be inserted into and held by an endodontic file in a state of being worn on a part of the body when treating teeth. Background Art

[0002] In the process of food intake, teeth play a very important role in cutting food into pieces for smooth digestion.

[0003] Therefore, continuous management and treatment of teeth is very important. In the case of early stage cavities occurring on the enamel of teeth exposed inside the mouth, it is impossible to know whether cavities have occurred or not, and in most cases, they are left untreated.

[0004] This is because enamel is a hard tissue that is harder than bone and has no nerves, so even if cavities occur, no additional pain will be felt.

[0005] Therefore, in many cases, people go to the dentist for treatment only when they feel the pain caused by tooth decay, that is, when the tooth decay has reached the pulp.

[0006] The dental pulp is the soft tissue inside the tooth with a large number of nerves and blood vessels. If tooth decay has reached the dental pulp, the soft tissue of the dental pulp will die and cannot regenerate. Therefore, dentists will perform nerve treatment by removing all the nerves and blood vessels of the dental pulp to reduce toothache.

[0007] The tool used to remove the dental pulp and the dental nerve is generally called an endodontic file. An endodontic file needs to be made of an elastic material in order to reach deep into the tooth and bend according to the shape of the tooth. In order to measure the length of the root canal, the length of the file varies.

[0008] Recently, there is an increasing demand for endodontic file storage holders that can temporarily store such endodontic files during dental nerve treatment.

[0066] On the other hand, a lower surface opening portion 252 may be formed at the center of the lower surface of the housing 250 , with the lower center of the through hole 251 being open.

[0067] In detail, by forming an opening portion 252 on the lower surface of the shell 250, the wrist strap can be detached, so that the shell 250 and the wrist strap are separated from each other. Conversely, by forming an opening portion 252 on the lower surface of the shell 250, the wrist strap can be installed on the shell 250.

[0068] Furthermore, the bracket body 200 includes a main body portion 260 , which is made of a metal material having a property of attaching a magnet, and the lower surface of the main body portion 260 is detachable from the upper surface of the housing 250 .

[0069] The main body 260 has a receiving portion 261 for receiving the sponge 300 formed inside thereof, and an opening 262 for exposing the sponge 300 received in the receiving portion 261 formed inside thereof.

[0070] The sponge 300 is a component into which the endodontic file E is inserted for temporary placement when the therapist performs dental treatment. The sponge 300 is inserted into the inner side of the receiving portion 261 formed in the main body 260 .

[0071] The main body 260 includes a first opening 262 a opened at the upper side of the receiving portion 261 and a second opening 262 b opened at one side or both sides of the receiving portion 261 . The receiving portion 261 is provided with the sponge 300 .

[0073] Thus, since the upper surface and the side surface of the sponge 300 attached to the main body 260 are exposed, the endodontic file E can be inserted into the upper surface and the side surface of the sponge 300 .

[0074] The length measuring unit 400 is disposed on the main body 260 and serves to measure the length of the endodontic file E. Preferably, the length measuring unit 400 of the second embodiment of the present invention is a scale printed on the upper surface of the main body 260. In addition, as another embodiment, the length measuring unit 400 of the first embodiment may be a scale that is detachably coupled to the main body 260.

[0075] Furthermore, at least one drug storage groove 500 for extruding or mixing a dental drug to be applied to the endodontic file E is formed on the upper surface of the main body 260 .

[0076] Thus, at least one medicine receiving groove 500 for extruding or mixing medicine for treating teeth is formed on the upper surface of the main body 260 , so that the endodontic file E can be dipped into the medicine and the endodontic file E can be used quickly.

[0080] The support body 200 includes a placement plate 270 , a ring as the wearing component 100 is integrally formed on the lower surface, and a mounting groove 271 for attracting a magnet is formed on the upper surface of the placement plate 270 .

[0081] Furthermore, the bracket body 200 includes a body part 280, which is made of a metal material having the property of attracting magnets, so that the upper surface of the placement plate 270 with the magnet attached is detachable from the lower surface of the body part 280. Furthermore, as another embodiment, the placement plate 270 made of a metal material having the property of attracting magnets and the body part 280 with the magnet attached to the lower surface may be included.

[0082] In this case, in order to prevent the main body 280 magnetically mounted on the upper surface of the placement plate 270 from detaching along the side direction of the placement plate 270 and being fixed to the placement plate 270, a locking shoulder 272 extending upward from the two side edges of the placement plate 270 at a specified height can also be formed.

[0083] The main body 280 has a receiving portion 281 for receiving the sponge 300 formed inside thereof, and an opening 282 for exposing the sponge 300 received in the receiving portion 281 formed inside thereof.

[0084] The sponge 300 is a component into which the endodontic file E is inserted for temporary placement when the therapist performs dental treatment. The sponge 300 is inserted into the inner side of the receiving portion 281 formed in the main body 280 .

[0085] The main body 280 includes a first opening 282 a opened at the upper side of the receiving portion 281 and a second opening 282 b opened at one side or both sides of the receiving portion 281 . The receiving portion 281 is provided with the sponge 300 .
