Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bite pad technology, specifically to a novel bite pad support that can absorb saliva. Background Technology

[0002] Occlusal splints, also known as jaw splints or bite plates, are dental aids. They are typically made of polymer resin materials, and some may also be made of silicone. These materials all possess a certain degree of elasticity and abrasion resistance, ensuring the stability and durability of the occlusal splint in the oral cavity.

[0003] Current bite pads, while assisting dentists in treatment, cannot effectively drain saliva, blood, and other substances produced in the mouth. When treatment is prolonged, patients experience significant oral discomfort. Generally, bite pads are only used to cover teeth for patients with tooth wear, tooth sensitivity, or loose teeth. In actual treatment, patients need to open their mouths, and bite pads cannot provide effective support for the oral cavity. Patients need to forcefully open their mouths, which can be quite strenuous for the face over time. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention addresses the problem that, when using occlusal pads to assist dentists in treatment, saliva and blood produced in the mouth cannot be effectively drained, and patients need to open their mouths during actual treatment. However, the occlusal pads cannot provide effective support for the oral cavity, requiring patients to forcefully open their mouths, which can be tiring for the face over time. This invention provides a novel saliva-absorbing occlusal pad support.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: a novel saliva-absorbing bite pad support, comprising a shell, an absorbent ball on the rear side of the shell, the absorbent ball being fixed to the rear of the shell, a tooth groove on the top of the shell, a saliva-absorbing structure on the bottom of the shell, symmetrical through holes on the top of the shell, a drainage groove on the bottom of the shell, the absorbent ball being hollow, an opening on the top of the absorbent ball, a sponge block inside the absorbent ball, and several flexible tubes connected to the bottom of the absorbent ball.

[0006] As an improvement, the housing is a forward-opening trumpet shape, the lower depth of the housing is less than the upper depth of the housing, and the housing is elastic.

[0007] As an improvement, the saliva suction structure includes a straw that extends into the housing and communicates with a flexible tube. A connector is threaded to the outer end of the straw, and a filter box is slidably disposed inside the connector. The connector needs to be connected to an oral suction pump. The filter box is pressed between the connector and the straw, and the filter box has a pull rod for easy removal.

[0008] As an improvement, a protrusion is provided on the lower part of the housing, and a semi-screw is provided symmetrically on the upper part of the housing along with the protrusion. An adjusting bolt is threadedly connected between the semi-screws.

[0009] As an improvement, the liquid-absorbing ball is provided with a number of first suction holes on its underside, and a number of second suction holes communicating with the lower side of the interior of the shell are provided on its underside.

[0010] The advantages of this utility model are: 1. It provides adjustable support for the oral cavity. The shell supports the inside of the oral cavity, and the height of the upper and lower sides of the shell can be adjusted by adjusting the bolts to adjust the size of the oral cavity opening.

[0011] 2. To improve patient comfort during treatment, the suction bulb absorbs saliva from the oral cavity through the first and second suction holes via a sponge block. The liquid accumulated at the bottom of the oral cavity is then drawn to the outside through a soft tube, thus removing saliva, blood, and other fluids during oral care. Attached Figure Description

Filter box; 12. Protrusion; 13. Half screw; 14. Adjusting bolt; 15. First suction hole; 16. Second suction hole. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] Combined with appendix Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3A novel saliva-absorbing bite pad support includes a housing 1, which is a forward-opening funnel shape. The depth of the lower part of the housing 1 is less than the depth of the upper part. A saliva-absorbing ball 2 is provided on the rear side of the housing 1. Both the housing 1 and the saliva-absorbing ball 2 are made of elastic flexible material. The saliva-absorbing ball 2 is fixed to the rear of the housing 1. The upper part of the housing 1 has a dental groove 3. The lower part of the housing 1 has a saliva-absorbing structure. The upper part of the housing 1 has symmetrical through holes 4. The lower part of the housing 1 has a drainage groove 5. The saliva-absorbing ball 2 is hollow and has an opening 6 on its upper part. A sponge block 7 is provided inside the saliva-absorbing ball 2. Several soft tubes 8 are connected to the lower part of the saliva-absorbing ball 2.

[0018] The saliva suction structure includes a straw 9, which extends into the housing 1 and communicates with a flexible tube 8. The outer end of the straw 9 is threadedly connected to a connector 10, and a filter box 11 is slidably disposed inside the connector 10.

[0019] The lower part of the housing 1 is provided with a protrusion 12, and the protrusion 12 and the upper part of the housing 1 are symmetrically provided with a semi-screw 13, and an adjusting bolt 14 is threadedly connected between the semi-screws 13.

[0020] The liquid-absorbing ball 2 has several first suction holes 15 on its lower surface, and several second suction holes 16 on its lower surface that communicate with the lower side of the interior of the shell 1.

[0021] The housing 1 supports the inside of the oral cavity. The height of the upper and lower sides of the housing 1 can be adjusted by adjusting the bolt 14 to adjust the size of the oral cavity opening 6. The suction ball 2 can absorb the liquid inside the oral cavity through the first suction hole 15 and the second suction hole 16 through the sponge block 7. On the other hand, it can draw the liquid accumulated at the bottom of the oral cavity to the outside through the hose 8. During oral care, saliva, blood and other liquids are removed. The filter box 11 embedded in the connecting tube can perform simple filtration of the liquid to prevent particulate impurities from being sucked into the suction device.

[0022] In practical implementation, a clean sponge is placed into the liquid-absorbing bulb through the opening. The shell is placed inside the oral cavity, and the liquid-absorbing bulb is placed inside the oral cavity with the tubing extended to the sides below the tongue. The upper teeth are placed in the alveolar ridges (a mirror image needs to be made during the production of this invention, with the alveolar ridges of the mirror image located on the lower side). The adjusting bolt is rotated to support the upper and lower sides of the oral cavity. After the filter box is placed inside the connecting tube, it is threadedly connected to the suction tube. The connecting tube is connected to the suction pump. Saliva and other liquids in the oral cavity are absorbed by the sponge through the first and second suction holes, and the remaining part is sucked out through the tubing. After use, the filter box is removed for cleaning, and the sponge is removed and discarded.

[0023] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
