Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical supplies, in particular to a bite pad tongue blocking device used in dentistry. Background Art

[0002] A bite pad and tongue stopper used in dentistry is an auxiliary tool used in dental diagnosis and treatment. It is usually made of non-toxic, soft and elastic materials, such as silicone. It generally has a specific shape and can be placed in a specific position in the patient's mouth. During dental treatment, especially some operations that require patients to keep their mouths open for a long time, such as fillings and root canal treatments, the bite pad and tongue stopper can help patients maintain their mouth opening, reduce the fatigue of patients from keeping their mouths open for a long time, and ensure that the treatment can proceed smoothly.

[0003] When using a mouth mirror to examine a child's oral cavity, a rubber dam is usually used to control the child's tongue to prevent the child's tongue from moving uncontrollably. However, this method is not suitable for teeth with interproximal caries or large crown defects. Such cases are particularly common in clinical practice, placing a heavy workload on clinicians.

[0004] The existing patent (publication number: CN221671634U) discloses a tongue tissue safety isolation device for use with a children's dental mouth mirror, comprising a first bracket, the bottom of the first bracket is fixedly connected to a fixing bracket, the inner wall of the fixing bracket is symmetrically slidably connected to two slides, and the inner wall of the fixing bracket is rotatably connected to a bidirectional screw; this utility model provides a tongue tissue safety isolation device for use with a children's dental mouth mirror, the two splints are adjusted by the bidirectional screw, the fixing bracket is installed on the mouth mirror body, the height of the second bracket is adjusted by rotating the threaded rod to facilitate fitting the position of the child's mouth, the angle between the second bracket and the third bracket is adjusted by the first adjustment unit, and the angle of the tongue baffle is adjusted by the second adjustment unit, so that the tongue baffle can fit the child's tongue, and the pediatric tongue is controlled by the tongue baffle to prevent the child's tongue from moving around due to uncontrollable reasons, and the probability of soft tissue damage in the child's mouth is also reduced.

[0005] In response to the above problems, existing patents have provided solutions. However, the placement and adjustment of existing bite pad tongue stoppers used in dentistry are relatively troublesome, and there are differences in the oral structure and size of the patient. This requires the doctor to spend a certain amount of time and energy to select the appropriate size and position when placing the bite pad tongue stopper, which increases the treatment time and is also prone to causing unnecessary stimulation to the patient's mouth. In addition, the blocking range of most tongue stoppers is relatively limited and cannot completely limit the range of movement of the tongue. During dental treatment, the tongue will still unconsciously move to the treatment area, interfering with the doctor's operation.

[0006] Therefore, a bite pad tongue blocking device for dentistry is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0027] See also Figure 1-5 , this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0028] A dental bite pad tongue stopper device includes a bite pad frame 1 and a tongue stopper frame 4. The bite pad frame 1 is bolted to an adjustment assembly 3 on one side thereof near the tongue stopper frame 4. The adjustment assembly 3 is bolted to the tongue stopper frame 4 on the other side thereof near the tongue stopper frame 4. A blocking mechanism 2 is bolted to the front side of the tongue stopper frame 4. The inner wall of the tongue stopper frame 4 is provided with a placement groove 5.

[0029] The blocking mechanism 2 includes a connecting block 201, a blocking frame 202 and a connecting frame 203. The rear side of the connecting frame 203 is bolted to the front side of the tongue stop frame 4, the rear side of the connecting block 201 is bolted to the front side of the tongue stop frame 4, the front side of the connecting block 201 is bolted to the rear side of the blocking frame 202, and the surface of the connecting frame 203 is bolted to the inner wall of the blocking frame 202.

[0030] In this embodiment: by setting a blocking mechanism 2, by setting a connecting block 201, a blocking frame 202 and a connecting frame 203, the connecting frame 203 is bolted to the tongue stop frame 4 and its surface is bolted to the inner wall of the blocking frame 202, and the connecting block 201 further fixes the blocking frame 202, so that the blocking mechanism 2 can provide a more stable and reliable blocking for the tongue. During dental treatment, the blocking frame 202 can effectively prevent the tongue from unconsciously moving to the treatment area, avoid interfering with the doctor's operation, ensure that operations such as fillings and root canal treatments can be carried out smoothly, and provide patients with a more comfortable treatment experience. By setting an adjustment component 3, the bite pad frame 1 and the tongue stop frame 4 are bolted through the adjustment component 3, which enables the bite pad frame 1 to be flexibly adjusted according to the oral structure and needs of different patients. For patients with different oral sizes, the adjustment component 3 can adjust the distance and angle between the bite pad frame 1 and the tongue stop frame 4 to ensure that the bite pad frame 1 can be comfortably placed in the patient's mouth, which not only plays a good bite pad role, but also reduces the dental clinic's demand for reserves of bite pad frames 1 of different specifications, thereby reducing costs.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bite pad frame 1 and the tongue stop frame 4, the side of the bite pad frame 1 close to the tongue stop frame 4 is bolted with an adjustment component 3, the side of the adjustment component 3 close to the tongue stop frame 4 is bolted to the tongue stop frame 4, the front side of the tongue stop frame 4 is bolted with a blocking mechanism 2, and the inner wall of the tongue stop frame 4 is provided with a placement groove 5.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the inner wall of the adjustment frame 301 is movably connected to a knob 6 , the surface of the knob 6 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the movable block 302 , and the front side of the knob 6 is bolted to a torsion bar 7 .
