Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a mechanical device, in particular to a device for measuring circumference, particularly to a device for measuring circumference of a tooth neck and crown. Background Art
[0002] Gingival retraction technique, also known as gingival margin retraction, is a technique that uses medical or mechanical means to retract the gingival margin and expose the gingival sulcus before tooth preparation and impression taking. The purpose is to make the preparation and impression of the tooth neck more accurate and clear. Mechanical gingival retraction uses a retraction cord. Gingival retraction cords of different diameters are selected according to the depth of the gingival sulcus, and are pushed into the gingival sulcus with a special gingival retraction device. Special gingival retraction cords are impregnated with vasoconstrictor drugs and then dried, and are available in a variety of diameters. The use of gingival retraction cords can reduce damage to the gums and reduce gingival bleeding. During the tooth restoration process, the gingival margin is retracted to ensure that the preparation of the tooth neck of the restoration and the impression taken are more accurate and clear, which helps to improve the precision of the restoration.
[0003] Gingival retraction technology is commonly used in the treatment of various fixed restorations and near-gingival fillings for tooth defects and edentulous defects, such as full crowns, inlays, post crowns, etc., before tooth preparation and impression making. In the clinical operation process, the position and size of the restored teeth are different. The determination of the length of the gingival retraction line during gingival retraction is often based on the size of the crown and estimated based on experience, which often results in the intercepted gingival retraction line being too long or too short, and the gingival retraction line needs to be intercepted again, which prolongs the operation time, affects the clinical effect and work efficiency, and causes great trouble to dentists. Utility Model Content
