Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical auxiliary equipment, in particular to an oral cavity reflector and a constant temperature box with the oral cavity reflector. Background Art

[0002] Oral photography is very important in the whole orthodontic process, recording the changes before and after the correction of the patient. For a set of photos of the upper and lower teeth, the reflector needs to be placed in the patient's mouth, and the patient needs to open his mouth as wide as possible to fully and clearly expose all the upper and lower teeth for the photo.

[0003] The existing metal reflector is made of stainless steel metal reflective material, which has a certain hardness, thickness (1.5mm) and weight, which can easily cause nausea and discomfort in patients. The stiff metal edge has a strong pulling feeling on the corners of the patient's mouth, and it is stuck in the patient's mouth, which has a strong foreign body feeling and limits the patient's mouth opening. It may require repeated shooting. Some children are even afraid and terrified to put the metal reflector into the mouth and resist taking pictures of the upper and lower teeth. It is easy to cause emotions in children and their families. It is necessary to communicate and explain patiently with the children and their families. The shooting time is greatly prolonged, which increases the shooting time of the patient, increases the difficulty and workload of the doctor who shoots, and is also very unfavorable for shooting upper and lower teeth. Secondly, the existing metal reflector only has a metal reflective surface. For some patients who have undergone cosmetic restoration of their teeth, it is necessary to take another set of photos of oral aesthetic teeth. At this time, a black background plate made of silicone material is required, which increases the consumables, cost and time of oral shooting. In addition, the existing metal reflector has a certain weight. The doctor who shoots needs to hold the metal reflector in one hand and the camera in the other hand to shoot the upper and lower teeth, which also increases the difficulty and workload of the doctor who shoots.

[0004] For example, CN204218864U discloses a novel anti-fog reflector for stomatology, including a reflector body, a clip, an air chamber and a handle, the clip is a U-shaped clip, the air chamber is provided with an inner cavity, holes are evenly distributed on the front of the air chamber, the holes are connected to the inner cavity of the air chamber, the holes are divided into two groups A and B and are arranged at intervals, the holes at both ends of the holes in group A have the same horizontal height, the holes on one side of the inner cavity of the holes in group B are higher than the holes on the front surface of the air chamber, the bottom surface of the air chamber is fixedly connected to the side of the U-shaped arm on one side of the clip, the handle is a hollow cylinder, the handle is fixedly connected to the back of the air chamber and is connected to the inner cavity of the air chamber. Although the reflector can defog, it has a complex structure and cannot be bent at will when in use. Utility Model Content
