Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of oral and maxillofacial surgery, and in particular relates to a device for measuring the vertical distance of a face. Background Art
[0002] The vertical distance is the distance from the bottom of the nose to the bottom of the chin when the natural teeth are in centric occlusion, that is, the distance of 1 / 3 below the face, which represents the vertical position relationship between the upper and lower jaws. The determination of the vertical distance is of great significance in oral clinical diagnosis and treatment. The normal vertical distance height of the face maintains the coordination and beauty of the facial proportions. More importantly, the appropriate vertical distance ensures the normal occlusal contact and maintains the normal activity of the facial masticatory muscles. The determination of the vertical distance provides a basic guarantee for establishing a correct occlusal relationship. Therefore, it is often required in denture restoration, occlusal reconstruction, and orthodontic and orthognathic combined treatment.
[0003] In the prior art, the distance from the base of the nose to the base of the chin in a relaxed state is usually measured, and the average occlusal clearance of 2mm is subtracted to obtain the vertical distance in the mid-position. Alternatively, the pupil position is visually observed under direct vision, and the distance from the pupil to the oral cleft is measured with a ruler. The above methods are all relatively poor in accuracy, and the occlusal clearance varies greatly among different individuals, especially for patients with open bite and those who require combined orthodontic and orthognathic treatment, 2mm is no longer applicable. It is difficult to accurately locate the pupil and oral cleft under visual observation, and the position of the oral cleft also varies greatly among different individuals, with some having higher oral clefts and others having lower ones.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a device for measuring the vertical distance of the face, including a maxillary plane plate and a measuring ruler, the measuring ruler is arranged at both ends of the maxillary plane plate, and the lower end of the measuring ruler is rotatably connected to the maxillary plane plate.

[0008] A sharp beak for positioning is arranged on the cursor, and the sharp beak is made of silicone.
[0009] The minimum scale of the measuring ruler is 1mm.

[0013] A slidable right-angle slider is arranged on the measuring ruler.
[0014] The middle part of the maxillary plane plate is in the shape of the maxillary dental arch.

[0022] The utility model is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A device for measuring vertical distance of face, comprising a maxillary plane plate and a measuring ruler 2, wherein the measuring ruler 2 is arranged at both ends of the maxillary plane plate 1, and the minimum scale of the measuring ruler 2 is 1 mm.
[0024] The measuring ruler 2 is slidably and rotatably connected to the maxillary plane plate. The measuring ruler 2 can be rotated to open it to a measuring state; or the measuring ruler 2 can be closed and parallel to the maxillary plane plate for easy storage.
[0025] refer to Figure 3 A connecting plate 3 is provided at the upper end of the measuring ruler 2, the measuring ruler 2 is vertically connected to the connecting plate 3, the measuring ruler 2 is slidably connected to the connecting plate, and the measuring ruler 2 slides along the connecting plate 3. During measurement, the person being measured fastens the maxillary plane in the oral cavity with his teeth, the measuring ruler 2 and the connecting plate 3 are kept vertical, and the connecting plate 3 is kept horizontal. If the readings of the measuring ruler 2 on both cheeks are consistent, the bilateral facial features are balanced. If the readings of the measuring ruler 2 on both cheeks are inconsistent, the bilateral facial features are asymmetric and skewed, and the facing angle between the measuring ruler 2 and the maxillary face will also change.
[0026] Optionally, both the measuring ruler 2 and the connecting plate 3 are provided with strip grooves, in which limit bars are arranged, and the cross-section of the limit bars is rectangular, which can prevent the measuring ruler 2 and the connecting plate 3 from rotating, and can keep the two vertically connected and can slide relative to each other.
[0027] In order to achieve more accurate positioning and measurement, a cursor is provided on the measuring ruler 2, and the cursor and the measuring ruler 2 are in transitional cooperation. Even if the measuring ruler is in a vertical state, the cursor will slide relative to the measuring ruler 2 only under the interference of external force.
[0028] Optionally, the maxillary plane plate 1 and the measuring ruler 2 are made of stainless steel.
[0029] Waist-shaped holes are provided at both ends of the maxillary plane plate, and a measuring ruler 2 is arranged in the waist-shaped holes, and the length of the waist-shaped holes is 2.5-3.5 cm.
[0030] One end of the measuring ruler 2 connected to the waist-shaped hole is provided with a thread, and a locking nut is provided at the connection between the measuring ruler 2 and the waist-shaped hole, and the locking nut is a butterfly nut.
[0031] The maxillary plane plate is a retractable plate, and the measuring ruler 2 is hinged to both ends of the maxillary plane plate 1. A vertical angle ruler is arranged at the lower end of the measuring ruler 2.
[0032] A limit structure is provided at the connection end between the measuring ruler 2 and the maxillary plane plate, and the limit structure adopts a locking screw.
[0033] refer to Figure 5 As an optional embodiment, a magnetic block is set at the lower end of the measuring ruler 2, and a magnetic strip is set in the maxillary plane plate 1. When measuring, the measuring ruler 2 and the connecting plate 3 are placed on the maxillary plane plate, and the magnetic block and the magnetic strip attract each other. However, the relative position of the measuring ruler 2 and the maxillary plane plate 1 can be changed. If the measuring ruler readings of the two cheeks are inconsistent, there is asymmetry and deviation on both sides of the face, and the facing angle between the measuring ruler 2 and the maxilla will also change.
[0034] The maxillary plane plate 1 can be in the form of a maxillary dental arch. It can be placed in the oral cavity against the teeth to locate the position of the maxillary plane. The maxillary plane plate is connected to the measuring ruler 2 outside the mouth, and the measuring ruler 2 is perpendicular to the maxillary plane plate 1. This connecting device can adjust the angle between the vertical distance ruler and the maxillary plane. If the patient's maxillary plane and facial midline are not deflected, it is usually 90°. A vernier is set on the measuring ruler 2, and a sharp beak for positioning is set on the vernier to facilitate more accurate positioning of the inner canthus or pupil. The scale of the measuring ruler 2 is 0 when it is parallel to the maxillary plane plate. As the vernier moves upward, the scale increases. Finally, the vernier is positioned at the inner canthus of both eyes. The scale shown is the vertical distance; the vertical distance can be determined by positioning the maxillary occlusal plane and measuring the distance from the inner canthus to the maxillary plane. The maxillary bone is in a relatively stable position. The inner canthus is easier to locate than the pupil, and the individual change is smaller than the outer canthus. This method can also determine whether the maxillary plane is deflected.

Any changes made on the basis of the technical solution in accordance with the technical idea proposed by the utility model shall fall within the protection scope of the claims of the utility model.
