Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dental implants, and more particularly to a bone wall thickness measuring device for dental implants. Background Art

[0002] Dental implant technology allows the placement of artificial teeth in the oral cavity, thereby helping patients replace missing teeth. During implantation, the implant must be precisely placed into the alveolar bone; otherwise, the surrounding bone will be damaged. Therefore, medical staff are required to measure the thickness of the patient's alveolar bone before implantation.

[0003] Chinese patent authorization announcement number: CN213941038U provides a "caliper for measuring the bone wall thickness of dental implant cavities". This solution can measure the thickness of the bone wall on the labial and buccal or lingual and palatal sides during cavity preparation, and then detect cavity deviation and correct the cavity direction, ensuring that the dental implant is placed in the ideal labial and buccal and lingual and palatal positions, thereby improving the success rate of dental implants.

[0004] During the actual dental implant process, medical staff need to perform a preliminary cleaning of the patient's mouth first. However, there may be some residual plaque in the patient's teeth, which will cause errors in the measurement of bone wall thickness. When the above-mentioned device is measuring, if the medical staff finds residual plaque during the measurement process, the medical staff will also need to remove the measuring tool from the patient's mouth and clean it again. This is not only cumbersome, but also prolongs the measurement process and reduces measurement efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a bone wall thickness measuring device for dental implants is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0030] Example:

[0031] See also Figure 1 - Figure 5 A bone wall thickness measuring device for dental implants includes a handle 1 and a mounting box 2. The mounting box 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the handle 1. A measuring mechanism 3 is provided inside the mounting box 2. A cleaning mechanism 4 is provided outside the handle 1. The cleaning mechanism 4 includes a connecting water pipe 41 fixedly connected to the inside of the handle 1. A water pump 42 is provided at one end of the connecting water pipe 41. The water inlet pipe of the water pump 42 is connected to a liquid storage bottle 43. The other end of the connecting water pipe 41 passes through one side of the handle 1 and is connected to a nozzle 44. The nozzle 44 is provided below the mounting box 2. A control switch 45 is provided on one side of the handle 1. The control switch 45 is electrically connected to the water pump 42. An angle adjustment mechanism 5 is provided between the nozzle 44 and the mounting box 2.

[0032] In this solution, a power supply is provided inside the water pump 42, and a control switch 45 controls the working state of the water pump 42 by connecting wires. The liquid storage bottle 43 is filled with a cleaning liquid for cleaning dental plaque, and the nozzle 44 has the function of increasing water pressure. First, the medical staff grasps the handle 1 and inserts the installation box 2 into the patient's mouth. After observing the tooth to be implanted, the medical staff uses the measuring mechanism 3 to measure the thickness of the bone wall. If there is dental plaque that affects the measurement accuracy, the medical staff can manually turn on the control switch 45, so that the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage bottle 43 is sucked out by the water pump 42 and sent to the nozzle 44 through the connecting water pipe 41. The nozzle 44 sprays the cleaning liquid onto the dental plaque to clean it.

[0033] By setting up the cleaning mechanism 4, medical staff can control the water pump 42 through the control switch 45 to suck the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage bottle 43 into the connecting water pipe 41, and finally spray the cleaning liquid onto the dental plaque through the nozzle 44, thereby cleaning the dental plaque, effectively solving the problem that traditional measuring devices cannot directly clean dental plaque during measurement, and simplifying the measurement process before dental implantation.

[0034] See also Figure 4 The angle adjustment mechanism 5 includes a driven gear 51 rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting box 2 and a second motor 53 fixedly arranged at the bottom of the mounting box 2 , and the nozzle 44 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the driven gear 51 .

[0035] Specifically, the output end of the second motor 53 is transmission-connected to the driving gear 52 , the driving gear 52 is meshed with the driven gear 51 , and the driving gear 52 is rotationally connected to the bottom of the installation box 2 .

[0036] In this embodiment, the second motor 53 is provided with a power supply and a separate switch. The second motor 53 is arranged in the box body at the bottom of the installation box 2. The second motor 53 can rotate by driving the driving gear 52, thereby rotating the driven gear 51, thereby adjusting the water spray angle of the nozzle 44.

[0037] The driving gear 52 is driven to rotate by the No. 2 motor 53, thereby cooperating with the driven gear 51 to fine-tune the water spraying angle of the nozzle 44, which can facilitate medical staff to adjust the angle of the nozzle 44 and effectively avoid the situation where medical staff need to manually control the installation box 2 to rotate significantly in the patient's mouth.

[0038] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 The measuring mechanism 3 includes a No. 1 motor 31 fixedly connected to the inside of the installation box 2 and a bidirectional screw rod 32 rotatably connected to the inside of the installation box 2, and one end of the bidirectional screw rod 32 is transmission-connected to the output end of the No. 1 motor 31.

[0039] Specifically, the external thread connection of the bidirectional screw rod 32 is connected to two symmetrically arranged slides 33, one end of the two slides 33 is fixedly connected to a measuring end 34, the two measuring ends 34 are slidably connected to one side of the installation box 2, and the top of the two measuring ends 34 is fixedly connected to an indicator piece 35.

[0040] Specifically, a limiting sliding groove 21 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the installation box 2 , and the other ends of the two slides 33 are fixedly connected to the limiting sliders 36 , and the two limiting sliders 36 are slidably connected to the inside of the limiting sliding groove 21 .

[0041] In this solution, a power supply is provided inside the No. 1 motor 31, and it is equipped with a separate switch. The No. 1 motor 31 controls the rotation of the bidirectional screw rod 32, so that the two measuring ends 34 gradually approach or move away, and the thickness of the bone wall at the implantation site is measured through the opposite side of the front end of the two measuring ends 34. A scale is provided on the mounting box 2, and the indicator piece 35 and the midline of the measuring end 34 are in the same vertical plane. The indicator piece 35 points to the scale. The medical staff can obtain the specific thickness of the bone wall by subtracting the scale data of the two indicator pieces 35.

[0042] Working principle: First, the medical staff holds the handle 1 with his hand and inserts the installation box 2 into the patient's mouth. After observing the teeth that need to be implanted, the medical staff turns on the No. 1 motor 31 to rotate the bidirectional screw 32, thereby controlling the two measuring ends 34 to move and fit on the two side edges of the bone wall. By reading the scale data of the indicator piece 35 and subtracting it, the thickness of the bone wall can be obtained. If there is tartar there that affects the measurement accuracy, the medical staff can turn on the control switch 45 by hand, so that the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage bottle 43 is sucked out through the water pump 42, and it is sent to the nozzle 44 through the connecting water pipe 41. The nozzle 44 sprays the cleaning liquid to the tartar to clean it. At the same time, the medical staff can also fine-tune the angle of the nozzle 44 by controlling the No. 2 motor 53 to facilitate the cleaning of the tartar.
