[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0025] The embodiment of the present application provides a teaching model for injecting the upper and lower cavities of the temporomandibular joint, which can solve the technical problems in the prior art that the temporomandibular joint has a complex anatomy, the gap between the upper and lower joint cavities is small, and only by means of teacher lectures and demonstrations, students lack practical experience, resulting in low teaching efficiency.

[0026] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of a teaching model for injecting the upper and lower cavities of the temporomandibular joint provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the temporomandibular joint part 1 structure of a teaching model for injecting the upper and lower cavities of the temporomandibular joint provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown, the teaching model for injecting the upper and lower cavities of the temporomandibular joint in the present application includes a head component and a prompt component. The head component imitates the normal human physiological structure, forming a temporomandibular joint part, a structural area located on the periphery of the temporomandibular joint part 1, and a superior joint cavity 2 and an inferior joint cavity 3 formed within the temporomandibular joint part 1. The superior joint cavity 2 and the inferior joint cavity 3 are both provided with joint cavity fluids to simulate human joint synovial fluid.

[0027] The prompt component includes a warning circuit disposed within the head component for, when the injection device is respectively injected into the structural area, the superior joint cavity 2, and the inferior joint cavity 3, forming different circuits and emitting different warning messages according to the different injection areas of the injection device.

[0028] Among them, the above-mentioned structural area is also arranged by imitating the normal human physiological structure, which includes a condyle made of a hard material, a maxillary tuberosity, and parts such as an articular disc and a bilaminar zone made of a soft material. When performing the injection practice of the superior and inferior joint cavities of the temporomandibular joint, a conventional injection device is used to puncture into the head component. According to the different punctured parts, the warning messages emitted by the warning circuit are also different, which can prompt the operation accuracy in real time. Based on the material and properties of the joint cavity fluid, the warning circuit in this application includes two triggering mechanisms and implementation methods.

[0029] As the first implementation method of this application, in this implementation method, the joint cavity fluids in the superior joint cavity 2 and the inferior joint cavity 3 are non-conductive fluids with different colors. Specifically, the joint cavity fluid includes a first color fluid located in the superior joint cavity 2 and a second color fluid located in the inferior joint cavity 3 and having a different color from the first color fluid.

[0030] When performing the injection practice of the superior joint cavity 2, take a conventional disposable injection device, draw a small amount of injection fluid into the injection device, and then use the conventional injection technique for the superior joint cavity 2 to insert the needle tip in front of the tragus, direct the needle tip obliquely forward, upward, and inward to touch the posterior slope of the maxillary tuberosity, and then withdraw the needle slightly. If the first color fluid is seen when aspirating, it indicates that the superior joint cavity 2 has been accurately punctured, and subsequent simulated injection and lavage operations can be carried out. The injection practice of the inferior joint cavity 3 is the same as that of the superior joint cavity 2. Take a conventional disposable injection device, draw a small amount of injection fluid into the injection device, and then use the conventional injection technique for the inferior joint cavity 3 to inject the needle tip into the inferior joint cavity 3. If the second color fluid is seen when aspirating, it indicates that the inferior joint cavity 3 has been accurately punctured, and subsequent simulated injection and lavage operations can be carried out.

[0031] It should be noted here that in addition to the parts mentioned in this application, the head component also includes tissues such as the maxilla, mandible, zygomatic bone, temporal bone, masticatory muscle, mucosa, skin, and ear. The above tissues have no direct connection with the technical solution in this application and will not be elaborated one by one here.

[0032] Further, the warning circuit includes a force-sensitive resistor disposed in the structural area and a micro-alarm electrically connected to the force-sensitive resistor. In this application, the structural area includes the condyle made of hard material, the maxillary tuberosity, the articular disc made of soft material, and the bilaminar zone. The force-sensitive resistors are respectively disposed at the bilaminar zone of the articular disc, the surface of the condylar head, the medial pterygoid muscle and other parts of the joint cavity injection operation that are easily misinjured. As an optional embodiment, the soft material is preferably made of polyisoprene material, which can achieve the purpose of no liquid leakage after multiple needle punctures. In the non-force state, the resistance value of the force-sensitive resistor is too large, and the current in the warning circuit is lower than the rated current of the corresponding series-connected micro-alarm. When the injection tool accidentally punctures the structural area, the resistance value of the force-sensitive resistor drops suddenly under the external force of the needle puncture, and the current in the circuit is higher than the rated current of the corresponding series-connected micro-alarm, causing the micro-alarm to alarm, indicating that the puncture site is incorrect, so as to judge the accuracy of the joint cavity injection operation and whether iatrogenic injury occurs, etc. The series circuit of the force-sensitive resistor is a common means in the prior art, and will not be elaborated here.

[0033] In the first implementation manner, joint cavity fluids of different colors are provided in the upper joint cavity 2 and the lower joint cavity 3. If, after puncture, the micro-alarm does not sound and joint cavity fluid is aspirated, it indicates that the puncture site is correct. On the contrary, if the micro-alarm is triggered after puncture, it means that the puncture position is deviated and re-puncture is required.

[0034] As the second implementation manner of this application, Figure 3 It is a schematic structural diagram of the warning circuit and the supporting syringe 6 in a teaching model for injecting the upper and lower cavities of the temporomandibular joint provided by the embodiment of this application. As Figure 3 shown, in this implementation manner, the joint cavity fluids in the upper joint cavity 2 and the lower joint cavity 3 are conductive fluids with different resistances. Specifically, the joint cavity fluid includes a first conductive fluid in the upper joint cavity 2 and a second conductive fluid in the lower joint cavity 3 with a different resistance from the first conductive fluid. The warning circuit includes a micro-power supply 5 disposed in the upper joint cavity 2 and the lower joint cavity 3 and a supporting syringe 6 electrically connected to the micro-power supply 5. An indicator light 7 is provided at the tail end of the supporting syringe 6.

[0035] The supporting syringe 6 is specially treated, with an internal circuit and a connected indicator light 7. The supporting syringe 6 extends two connecting wires which are respectively connected to the conductive liquids in the lower joint cavity 3 and the upper joint cavity 2. For the convenience of description, the connecting wires on the supporting syringe 6 are hereinafter referred to as the upper cavity wire and the lower cavity wire. The micro power supply 5 continuously supplies power. Due to the different resistance values of the first conductive liquid and the second conductive liquid, when the supporting syringe 6 is inserted into different joint cavities, the brightness of the indicator light 7 is different to distinguish the specific joint cavity where it is inserted. Specifically, when the supporting syringe 6 is inserted into the upper joint cavity 2, a loop of "micro power supply 5 - first conductive liquid - supporting syringe 6 - indicator light 7 - upper cavity wire - micro power supply 5" can be formed. Similarly, when the supporting syringe 6 is inserted into the lower joint cavity 3, a loop of "micro power supply 5 - second conductive liquid - supporting syringe 6 - indicator light 7 - lower cavity wire - micro power supply 5" can be formed. When the insertion position of the supporting syringe 6 deviates, the loop is not formed and the indicator light 7 does not light up.

[0036] In the second embodiment, by providing a supporting syringe 6 and an indicator light 7 that are electrically connected to the upper joint cavity 2 and the lower joint cavity 3, a circuit is triggered and formed only when the insertion position is accurate, and the indicator light 7 lights up, which can indicate the insertion accuracy in real time. This not only helps to improve the clinical practice teaching effect of temporomandibular joint cavity injection, but also helps teachers to determine the accuracy of students' upper and lower joint cavity injection operations, thus improving the teaching efficiency.

[0037] Furthermore, Figure 4 The structure schematic diagram of the upper dental arch 8 and the lower dental arch 10 in a teaching model for temporomandibular joint upper and lower cavity injection provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 The structure schematic diagram of the opening pliers 12 in a teaching model for temporomandibular joint upper and lower cavity injection provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 4 、 Figure 5 shown, the temporomandibular joint part 1 further includes an upper dental arch 8 provided with a first threaded hole 9 and a lower dental arch 10 provided with a second threaded hole 11. The head assembly further includes opening pliers 12. The front end of the opening pliers 12 is provided with a first opening bolt 13 matching the first threaded hole 9 and a second opening bolt 14 matching the second threaded hole 11. The head assembly imitates the normal human physiological structure, so it further includes an oral cavity part. An upper dental arch 8 and a lower dental arch 10 are formed in the oral cavity part, and the upper dental arch 8 and the lower dental arch 10 can simulate the opening and closing actions of the human body to facilitate the practice of temporomandibular joint upper and lower cavity injection.

[0038] The opening pliers 12 include a handle area and an opening area. The "front end" here refers to the opening area. When opening, the first opening bolt 13 and the second opening bolt 14 are respectively placed into the first threaded hole 9 and the second threaded hole 11 that match them, and then the handle area is opened to separate the upper dental arch 8 and the lower dental arch 10. The opening pliers 12 are a commonly used existing tool and will not be elaborated here.

[0039] Further, a fixed base 4 is provided at the bottom of the head component and fixedly connected to the fixed base 4 to form an integral body. The fixed base 4 is mainly used to increase the contact area between the bottom of the head component and the surface of the bearing base, and maintain the overall stability of the head component.

[0040] When using the teaching model for the superior and inferior joint spaces injection of the temporomandibular joint in this application, first use the opening forceps 12 to separate the upper dental arch 8 and the lower dental arch 10, and then use an ordinary injection tool or the supporting syringe 6 with the conventional injection technique to inject the needle tip into the predetermined area. Subsequently, judge whether the puncture is in place according to the different prompt messages sent by the warning circuit.

[0041] The overall structure of the teaching model for the superior and inferior joint spaces injection of the temporomandibular joint in this application is simple. By setting a warning circuit with a variety of prompt methods, it can display the accuracy of the puncture site in real time, help students quickly and accurately find the puncture position, improve the puncture accuracy, and also help improve the teaching efficiency.
