Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of root canal retreatment gutta-percha removal, and in particular to a self-adaptive endodontic file. BACKGROUND

[0002] Root canal retreatment is a complex and challenging clinical procedure in the field of endodontics. Its core goal is to safely and completely remove the original filling materials (mainly gutta-percha points and sealants) in the root canal to address the problem of failed primary root canal treatment, while maximizing the protection of healthy dentin structure and avoiding excessive cutting and perforation of the root canal wall.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for removing old filling materials in the root canal in clinical practice include the use of hand files, ultrasonic instruments, and chemical solvents. Hand file operation relies on the experience and feel of the operator, and the efficiency is relatively low. In addition, when dealing with curved or calcified root canals, it is easy to cause instrument breakage or root canal wall damage. Ultrasonic instruments can assist in removing filling materials through high-frequency vibration, but their range of action is limited, and the cleaning effect on the deep and curved areas of the root canal is not good, and a large amount of debris may be generated, increasing the risk of root canal blockage. Chemical solvents can soften gutta-percha, but their action time is long, and the cleaning effect on the root canal wall is not thorough, and there is a potential risk of irritation to the periapical tissue.

[0004] The above-mentioned prior art solutions generally have the problems of low efficiency, high operator fatigue, easy formation of debris blockage, poor cleaning effect on curved root canal apical area, and potential perforation risk, etc. in actual application.

Therefore, in the field of root canal retreatment, the existing technology is difficult to completely and effectively remove the old filling materials in the complex root canal while ensuring the operation efficiency, the integrity of the dentin structure, and the safety.

[0040] The applicant found that existing techniques, in root canal retreatment, are insufficient to completely and effectively remove gutta-percha from complex root canals while ensuring operational efficiency, dentin structural integrity, and safety.

[0041] In view of this, the inventors of the present invention provide an adaptive pulp file to solve the above-mentioned problems. Several specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] First Embodiment

[0043] The adaptive pulp file mentioned in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the adaptive pulp file includes a mounting base 1, a cleaning shaft 2, and a guide spring 3. The mounting base 1 includes a clamping post 11 and a positioning plate 12. One end of the clamping post 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the positioning plate 12, and the clamping post 11 and the positioning plate 12 are arranged coaxially. The outer wall of the clamping post 11 has a clamping groove 13, which surrounds the axis of the clamping post 11.

[0044] like Figure 1As shown, the gum cleaning shaft 2 comprises a shaft body part 21 and a first gum cleaning part 22, and the shaft body part 21 is made of metal material. Preferably, the shaft body part is made of nickel-titanium alloy material. The first gum cleaning part 22 is made of flexible material. Preferably, the first gum cleaning part 22 is made of fiber nanometer material. One end of the shaft body part 21 is fixedly connected to the other side surface of the positioning disc 12, and the shaft body part 21 is coaxially arranged with the positioning disc 12. One end of the first gum cleaning part 22 is arranged on the other end surface of the shaft body part 21, and the other end of the first gum cleaning part 22 is used for cleaning the dental gum. The guide spring 3 is sleeved on the gum cleaning shaft 2, and one end of the guide spring 3 is connected to the other side surface of the positioning disc 12. The guide spring 3 is coaxially arranged with the gum cleaning shaft 2.

[0045] In the present application, the fiber nanometer wire is made of carbon nanometer tube fiber, or the fiber nanometer wire is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene nanometer fiber, so that the fiber nanometer wire has excellent energy absorption characteristics and impact resistance and fatigue resistance. When the self-adaptive dental pulp file of the present application rotates at high speed, the fiber nanometer wire absorbs energy through the stretching and sliding of the molecular chain, which not only avoids the risk of breaking of the fiber nanometer wire, but also facilitates the cleaning of the dental gum.

[0046] In the present embodiment, the gum cleaning shaft 2 is arranged as follows:

[0047] As shown in the figure, Figure 1 The first gum cleaning part 22 comprises a cluster of first gum cleaning hairs 23, the cluster of first gum cleaning hairs 23 is composed of one or more fiber nanometer wires, and the cluster of first gum cleaning hairs 23 has a conical structure. Specifically, from the direction of the mounting seat 1 to the direction of the first gum cleaning part 22, the cross-sectional area of the first gum cleaning hair 23 gradually decreases until the end of the first gum cleaning hair 23 away from the mounting seat 1 has a pointed structure, that is, the end of the first gum cleaning hair 23 having a pointed structure is the working tip of the first gum cleaning hair 23, and the working tip is used for cleaning the dental gum. The cluster of first gum cleaning hairs 23 is coaxially arranged with the shaft body part 21 to ensure the cleaning effect of the dental gum.

[0048] Optionally, as shown in the figure, on the basis of the above technical solution, the length of the shaft body part 21 is greater than the length of the first gum cleaning part 22. Specifically, the length of the shaft body part 21 is 1 / 2~3 / 2 of the length of the gum cleaning shaft 2, and the length of the first gum cleaning part 22 is 1 / 3~1 / 2 of the length of the gum cleaning shaft 2. By using the length difference between the shaft body part 21 and the first gum cleaning part 22, the structural strength of the first gum cleaning part 22 can be improved, and thus the gum cleaning effect of the first gum cleaning part 22 can be enhanced.

[0049] In the present embodiment, the structure of the guide spring 3 is also improved, which is as follows:

[0050] Optionally, the length of the guide spring 3 is equal to the length of the gum cleaning shaft 2,

[0051] Optionally, the length of the guide spring 3 is shorter than the length of the glue cleaning shaft 2, and specifically, the end of the first glue cleaning hair 23 away from the shaft body part 21 is 1mm-2mm higher than the end of the guide spring 3 away from the mounting base 1.

[0052] Optionally, as shown in Figure 2 the end of the guide spring 3 away from the mounting base 1 is provided with a reduced diameter part 31. Specifically, from the direction of the mounting base 1 to the direction of the first glue cleaning part 22, the outer diameter of the reduced diameter part 31 gradually decreases until the same as the diameter of the end of the first glue cleaning hair 23 close to the shaft body part 21.

[0053] The above three optional technical solutions can be selected.

[0054] The exemplary use process of the self-adaptive dental pulp file disclosed in the embodiment is as follows:

[0055] When performing root canal retreatment, the patient lies on the reclining chair of the dental comprehensive treatment machine, and the doctor uses the electric rotary tool matched with the dental comprehensive treatment machine.

[0056] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 the doctor sets the clamping column 11 of the self-adaptive dental pulp file on the rotating end of the electric rotary tool. When the end face of the rotating end abuts against one side of the in-place disc 12, it indicates that the dental pulp file is assembled in place. Then the clamping teeth in the electric rotary tool enter the clamping groove 13, so that the installation of the self-adaptive dental pulp file on the electric rotary tool is completed. Then the glue cleaning shaft 2 is inserted into the root canal. When the guide spring 3 is limited by the structure of the root canal, the guide spring 3 starts to compress as the glue cleaning shaft 2 continues to be inserted. The working tip of the first glue cleaning hair 23 of the first glue cleaning part 22 is exposed from the guide spring 3 and contacts the gutta-percha in the root canal. The doctor starts the electric rotary tool and makes the rotating end start to rotate at a speed of 8000RPM-12000RPM. The self-adaptive dental pulp file of the embodiment also starts to rotate at a speed of 8000RPM-12000RPM. The first glue cleaning hair 23 starts to rotate at the same time. The high-speed rotating first glue cleaning hair 23 cleans the gutta-percha in the root canal. The first glue cleaning hair 23 can quickly clean the gutta-percha without damaging the root canal wall.

[0057] Compared with the prior art, the embodiment sets the first glue cleaning part 22 composed of fiber nanofilaments on the glue cleaning shaft 2 of the adaptive pulp file, and utilizes the impact resistance and fatigue resistance of the fiber nanofilaments to avoid the risk of breakage of the first glue cleaning part 22, and also utilizes the first glue cleaning part 22 to quickly clean the gutta-percha in the root canal without damaging the root canal wall. Not only the integrity and safety of the dentin structure are ensured, but also the gutta-percha in the complex root canal can be effectively removed. The embodiment also utilizes the compression of the guide spring 3 and the exposure of the working tip of the first glue cleaning part 22 by cooperating the guide spring 3 with the glue cleaning shaft 2 to facilitate the control of the depth of the working tip into the root canal.

[0058] The first glue cleaning part 22 of the adaptive pulp file is made of flexible material, so the first glue cleaning part 22 can adhere to the gutta-percha in the root canal cleaning, which is the embodiment of the adaptability.

[0059] Second embodiment

[0060] In the first embodiment, the inventor found that only using the first glue cleaning hair 23 to clean the gutta-percha may have the risk of poor cleaning effect.

[0061] Therefore, the embodiment also proposes an adaptive pulp file, and the second embodiment is a further improvement based on the first embodiment, and the main improvement is that the first glue cleaning part further includes a second glue cleaning hair, and the specific scheme is as follows:

[0062] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 3 The number of the second glue cleaning hair 24 is multiple clusters, and the multiple clusters of the second glue cleaning hair are in a conical structure. Each cluster of the second glue cleaning hair 24 is composed of one or more fiber nanofilaments. Specifically, from the direction where the mounting seat 1 is located to the direction where the first glue cleaning part 22 is located, the cross-sectional area of the second glue cleaning hair 24 gradually decreases until the end of the second glue cleaning hair 24 away from the mounting seat 1 is in a sharp structure, that is, the end of the second glue cleaning hair 24 in a sharp structure is the working tip of the second glue cleaning hair 24. The second glue cleaning hair 24 is obliquely arranged, that is, the working tip of the second glue cleaning hair 24 is arranged close to the working tip of the first glue cleaning hair 23, so that the working tip of the first glue cleaning hair 23 is protected. In use, the working tip of the second glue cleaning hair 24 first pre-cleans the gutta-percha, and then the first glue cleaning hair 23 cleans the gutta-percha treated by the second glue cleaning hair 24, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the first glue cleaning part 22 on the gutta-percha. When the number of clusters of the second glue cleaning hair 24 is even, two clusters of the second glue cleaning hair 24 on both sides of the axis of the first glue cleaning hair 23 are symmetrically arranged. That is, the two clusters of the second glue cleaning hair 24 and the first glue cleaning hair 23 are on the same straight line. In this technical solution, the multiple clusters of the second glue cleaning hair 24 assist the first glue cleaning hair 23 to clean the gutta-percha, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the first glue cleaning part 22.

[0063] Optionally, as shown in the figure, on the basis of the above technical solution, the diameter of the first glue cleaning hair 23 near one end of the shaft body part 21 is 1 / 3 of the diameter of the shaft body part 21, and the diameter of the second glue cleaning hair 24 near one end of the shaft body part 21 is 1 / 6 of the diameter of the shaft body part 21. By utilizing the structural strength of the second glue cleaning hair 24 and the first glue cleaning hair 23, the cleaning effect of the dental glue is further improved.

[0064] Optionally, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 On the basis of the above technical solution, the height of the first glue cleaning hair 23 is lower than the height of the second glue cleaning hair 24, which makes the texture of the first glue cleaning hair 23 harder than the texture of the second glue cleaning hair 24, and the texture difference is used to clean the dental glue. In use, the multiple clusters of the second glue cleaning hair 24 clean the dental glue first, and as the guide spring is further compressed, the multiple clusters of the second glue cleaning hair 24 will bend and deform away from the axis of the first glue cleaning hair 23, and then the first glue cleaning hair 23 is exposed, so that the first glue cleaning hair 23 with a harder texture than the second glue cleaning hair 24 cleans the dental glue.

[0065] The above three optional technical solutions can be selected.

[0066] Third embodiment

[0067] This embodiment also proposes a self-adaptive dental pulp file, and the difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment is the structure of the first glue cleaning part. The specific scheme is as follows:

[0068] Optionally, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 , Figure 5 The first glue cleaning part 22 comprises the second glue cleaning hair 24, and the number of the second glue cleaning hair 24 is multiple clusters. Each cluster of the second glue cleaning hair 24 is composed of one or more fiber nanofilaments. The multiple clusters of the second glue cleaning hair 24 are uniformly arranged around the axis of the shaft body part 21. Specifically, from the direction of the installation seat 1 to the direction of the first glue cleaning part 22, the cross-sectional area of the second glue cleaning hair 24 gradually decreases until the end of the second glue cleaning hair 24 away from the installation seat 1 forms a pointed structure, that is, the end of the second glue cleaning hair 24 in the pointed structure is the working tip of the second glue cleaning hair 24. The multiple clusters of the second glue cleaning hair 24 are inclinedly arranged towards the axis of the shaft body part 21, and the working tips of the multiple clusters of the second glue cleaning hair 24 jointly form the working tip of the first glue cleaning part 22. At this time, the multiple clusters of the second glue cleaning hair 24 and the end face of the shaft body part 21 away from the installation seat 1 form a sandwich 25. In use, the working tip of the first glue cleaning part 22 is used to clean the dental glue. Since the first glue cleaning part 22 is composed of multiple clusters of the second glue cleaning hair 24, the cleaning effect of the dental glue is further improved.

[0069] Optionally, as shown in the figure, on the basis of the above technical solution, when the number of the second glue cleaning bristles 24 is even, the two groups of second glue cleaning bristles 24 located on both sides of the axis of the shaft body 21 are symmetrically arranged. That is, the two groups of second glue cleaning bristles 24 are on the same straight line with the axis of the shaft body 21. In the first glue cleaning part 22, the distance between the two groups of symmetrically arranged second glue cleaning bristles 24 gradually decreases until the distance between the two groups of second glue cleaning bristles 24 is 0. When the distance between the two groups of second glue cleaning bristles 24 is 0, the two groups of second glue cleaning bristles 24 form a pointed structure away from one end of the shaft body 21, and the working tips of all the second glue cleaning bristles 24 together form the working tip of the first glue cleaning part 22. In this technical solution, the multiple groups of second glue cleaning bristles 24 are used to clean the dental glue, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the dental glue.

[0070] Optionally, as shown in the figure, on the basis of the above technical solution, the diameter of the end of the second glue cleaning bristle 24 close to the shaft body 21 is 1 / 7-1 / 3 of the diameter of the shaft body 21. By increasing the diameter of the end of the second glue cleaning bristle 24 close to the shaft body 21 and using the difference between the diameter of the multiple groups of second glue cleaning bristles 24 and the diameter of the shaft body 21, the structural strength of the first glue cleaning part 22 is further increased, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the dental glue.

[0071] The above three optional technical solutions can be selected.

[0072] Fourth Embodiment

[0073] This embodiment also proposes a self-adaptive dental pulp file. The fourth embodiment is a further improvement based on the third embodiment, and the main improvement is that the first glue cleaning part 22 further includes third glue cleaning bristles 26, and the specific scheme is as follows:

[0074] Optionally, as Figure 1 , Figure 6As shown, the third adhesive fibers 26 are arranged in multiple clusters, each cluster consisting of one or more fiber nanofilaments. These clusters of third adhesive fibers 26 are evenly distributed around the axis of the shaft portion 21, and are all located within the interlayer 25 between the shaft portion 21 and the second adhesive fibers 24. Specifically, from the direction of the mounting base 1 towards the direction of the first adhesive portion 22, the cross-sectional area of ​​the third adhesive fibers 26 gradually decreases until one end of the third adhesive fiber 26 away from the mounting base 1 forms a pointed structure; that is, the pointed end of the third adhesive fiber 26 is the working tip. The multiple clusters of third adhesive fibers 26 are all inclined towards the axis of the shaft portion 21, and the working tips of the multiple clusters of third adhesive fibers 26 and the working tips of the multiple clusters of second adhesive fibers 24 together form the working tip of the first adhesive portion 22. At this point, the multiple clusters of third cleaning bristles 26 form a sandwich 25 between the second cleaning bristles 24 and the shaft portion 21, dividing the space into two. During use, the working tips of the multiple clusters of third cleaning bristles 26 work in conjunction with the working tips of the second cleaning bristles 24 to clean the gutta-percha, improving the cleaning effect.

[0075] Optional, such as Figure 6 As shown, based on the above technical solution, when the number of clusters of the third cleaning bristles 26 is even, two clusters of the third cleaning bristles 26 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the axis of the shaft portion 21. That is, these two clusters of the third cleaning bristles 26 are on the same straight line as the axis of the shaft portion 21. In the first cleaning portion 22, the distance between the two symmetrically arranged clusters of the third cleaning bristles 26 gradually decreases until the distance between the two clusters of the third cleaning bristles 26 is 0. When the distance between the two clusters of the third cleaning bristles 26 is 0, the ends of the two clusters of the third cleaning bristles 26 away from the shaft portion 21 form a pointed structure, and the working tips of all the third cleaning bristles 26 and all the working tips of the second cleaning bristles 24 together constitute the working tips of the first cleaning portion 22. In this technical solution, the working tips of multiple clusters of the third cleaning bristles 26 assist the working tips of the second cleaning bristles 24 in cleaning the gutta-percha, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the gutta-percha.

[0076] Optionally, not shown in the figure, based on the above technical solution, the diameter of the end of the second cleaning bristle 24 near the shaft portion 21 is 1 / 7 of the diameter of the shaft portion 21, and the diameter of the end of the third cleaning bristle 26 near the shaft portion 21 is 1 / 7 of the diameter of the shaft portion 21. By placing the third cleaning bristle 26 in the interlayer between the second cleaning bristle 24 and the shaft portion 21, and by limiting the diameter of the second cleaning bristle 24 and the diameter of the third cleaning bristle 26, the structural strength of the first cleaning portion 22 is further increased, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the gutta-percha.

[0077] Optional, such as Figure 7As shown, the height of the third glue cleaning bristle 26 is lower than that of the second glue cleaning bristle 24, so that the texture of the third glue cleaning bristle 26 is harder than that of the second glue cleaning bristle 24, and the difference in texture is used to clean the dental glue. In use, the multiple second glue cleaning bristles 24 clean the dental glue first, and as the guide spring is further compressed, the multiple second glue cleaning bristles 24 will be bent and deformed away from the axis of the shaft body 21, and then the third glue cleaning bristles 26 are exposed, so that the third glue cleaning bristles 26 with a harder texture than the second glue cleaning bristles 24 clean the dental glue.

[0078] The above four optional technical solutions can be selected.

[0079] Fifth embodiment

[0080] This embodiment also proposes a self-adaptive dental pulp file, and the fifth embodiment is a further improvement based on the third or fourth embodiment, and the main improvement is the guide spring, and the specific scheme is as follows:

[0081] As Figure 8 , Figure 9As shown, in the multi-cluster second glue cleaning bristles 24, the height of one cluster of the second glue cleaning bristles 24 is higher than that of the other clusters. Correspondingly, the end of the guide spring 3 away from the mounting base 1 has a first notch 32, which is located on one side of the axis of the guide spring 3. Specifically, the guide spring 3 includes a spring body 30, a first elastic part 33 having the first notch 32, one end of the spring body 30 is fixedly connected to the other side surface of the positioning disc 12, and the other end of the spring body 30 is connected to one end of the first elastic part 33. The first elastic part 33 includes a first sub-section 36, a second sub-section 37, and a third sub-section 38. The first sub-section 36 has a C-shaped structure and has a receiving space for accommodating the first glue cleaning part 22. The second sub-section 37 has a C-shaped structure and has a receiving space for accommodating the first glue cleaning part 22. The first sub-section 36 and the second sub-section 37 are arranged in a spaced manner and coaxially arranged, and the first sub-section 36 is coaxially arranged with the shaft body 21. The first sub-section 36 is located between the spring body 30 and the second sub-section 37, and the two ends of the first sub-section 36 are connected to the spring body 30 through a third sub-section 38. At the same time, the two ends of the first sub-section 36 are connected to the two ends of the second sub-section 37 through a third sub-section 38. After the first sub-section 36 is connected to the second sub-section 37 through the third sub-section 38, the gap of the first sub-section 36 and the gap of the second sub-section 37 together form the first notch 32 of the first elastic part 33, which can also be regarded as the first notch 32 of the guide spring 3. In use, as the dental canal reamer rotates, one cluster of the second glue cleaning bristles 24 that is higher than the other clusters is arranged to pass through the first notch 32 to the outside of the guide spring 3 and clean the dental glue. Such an arrangement can increase the cleaning range of the second glue cleaning bristles on the dental glue.

[0082] Sixth embodiment

[0083] This embodiment also proposes a self-adaptive dental canal reamer, which is a further improvement based on any one of the first to fourth embodiments, and the main improvement is that:

[0084] As Figure 10 、 Figure 11As shown, the guide spring 3 includes a first elastic portion 33, a middle portion 34, and a second elastic portion 35. From the direction of the mounting base 1 towards the direction of the first adhesive removal portion 22, the first elastic portion 33, the middle portion 34 with a second notch 39, and the second elastic portion 35 are arranged sequentially. The first elastic portion 33 is connected to the second elastic portion 35 through the middle portion 34. Specifically, the middle portion 34 includes a first sub-segment 36, a second sub-segment 37, and a third sub-segment 38. The first sub-segment 36 has a C-shaped structure and a receiving space for accommodating the shaft portion 21. The second sub-segment 37 also has a C-shaped structure and a receiving space for accommodating the shaft portion 21. The first sub-segment 36 and the second sub-segment 37 are spaced apart and coaxially arranged, and the first sub-segment 36 is coaxially arranged with the shaft portion 21. One end of the first segment 36 is fixedly connected to the end of the first elastic part 33 near the second elastic part 35. One end of the second segment 37 is fixedly connected to the end of the second elastic part 35 near the first elastic part 33. One end of the third segment 38 is fixedly connected to the other end of the first segment 36, and the other end of the third segment 38 is fixedly connected to the other end of the second segment 37. After the first segment 36 is connected to the second segment 37 through the third segment 38, the accommodating space of the first segment 36 and the accommodating space of the second segment 37 together form the second notch 39 of the middle part 34. This second notch 39 can also be regarded as the second notch 39 of the guide spring 3.

[0085] like Figure 11 As shown, the adaptive pulp file also includes a second cleaning portion 27, which is disposed on the shaft portion 21. The second cleaning portion 27 and the second notch 39 are both located on the same side of the axis of the shaft portion 21. The second cleaning portion 27 is disposed close to the mounting base 1. The second cleaning portion 27 is made of a flexible material. Preferably, the second cleaning portion 27 is made of a fiber nanomaterial. The second cleaning portion 27 includes a cluster of fourth cleaning fibers 28, which is composed of one or more fiber nanofilaments. One end of the fourth cleaning fiber 28 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the shaft portion 21, and the other end of the fourth cleaning fiber 28 is oriented away from the mounting base 1. The fourth cleaning fiber 28 is located between the shaft portion 21 and the guide spring 3.

[0086] When not in use, the guide spring 3 restrains the fourth gutta-percha bristles 28 located on the shaft portion 21, confining them between the guide spring 3 and the shaft portion 21. At this time, the fourth gutta-percha bristles 28 are located at the end of the second notch 39 near the mounting base 1. During use, the operator inserts the gutta-percha shaft 2 into the root canal, and the guide spring 3 is compressed. The compressed guide spring 3 causes the second notch 39 to move towards the mounting base 1, while the other end of the fourth gutta-percha bristles 28 passes through the second notch 39 to the outside of the guide spring 3, cleaning the gutta-percha within the root canal as the adaptive pulp file rotates at high speed.

[0087] Finally, it should be noted that, for a better understanding of the present application, the embodiments thereof have been presented with a number of technical details. However, the skilled person in the art will appreciate that the technical solutions claimed in the claims of the present application can be substantially achieved even without these technical details and with various changes and modifications based on the above-described embodiments. Therefore, in practical applications, various changes can be made to the above-described embodiments in form and details without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
