Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of oral implant technology, and more specifically, to a mouth expander for oral implant surgery. Background Technology
[0002] In dental implant surgery, a mouth diaphragm plays a crucial role. Its main functions include: fully exposing the surgical area, ensuring the implant site is clearly visible to the dentist for precise manipulation; expanding the operating space to provide sufficient room for the dentist's instruments and hands, ensuring accurate implant placement and the smooth execution of other necessary steps; and effectively protecting surrounding healthy tissues, such as the gums of adjacent teeth and the soft tissues on the buccal and lingual sides, preventing accidental damage from surgical instruments. Furthermore, the mouth diaphragm maintains a clear surgical field, reducing interference from blood and saliva, and aiding the dentist in making accurate judgments.
[0003] Existing mouth slits are typically designed as cylindrical silicone products. During use, one side is inserted into the patient's mouth, while the other side remains outside, thus opening the mouth. However, this type of mouth slit also has some drawbacks. Since the two annular support rings play a primary supporting role, and the flexible surface between them supports and holds the patient's lip tissue, it opens the oral cavity to fully expose the surgical area. During dental implant surgery, a saliva suction tube is needed to continuously remove blood and saliva from the patient's mouth. However, with existing mouth slits, saliva tends to accumulate in the lower jaw, and it is difficult to effectively remove it using a suction tube. Therefore, patients experience a significant foreign body sensation and a poor experience. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a mouth expander for oral implant surgery, which, by designing a flexible bearing surface with through holes, allows blood, saliva, etc. to pass through the flexible bearing surface, facilitating suction with a saliva suction tube and effectively reducing the patient's foreign body sensation.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application are implemented in the following manner:
[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a mouth expander for oral implant surgery, including an outer elastic support ring, an inner elastic support ring, and a flexible bearing surface. The flexible bearing surface is connected between the outer elastic support ring and the inner elastic support ring, such that the outer elastic support ring, the flexible bearing surface, and the inner elastic support ring form a cylindrical shape, and the portion of the flexible bearing surface near the inner elastic support ring has a dot-matrix through-hole area.
[0007] In conjunction with the first aspect, in a first possible implementation of the first aspect, the inner diameter of the outer elastic support ring is larger than the inner diameter of the inner elastic support ring.
[0008] In conjunction with the first aspect, in a second possible implementation of the first aspect, the outer elastic support ring is provided with a saliva suction tube clamp along the central axis away from the inner elastic support ring.
[0009] In conjunction with the second possible implementation of the first aspect, in the third possible implementation of the first aspect, the number of saliva tube clips is 2, and the line connecting the two saliva tube clips passes through the center of the outer elastic support ring.
[0010] In conjunction with the third possible implementation of the first aspect, in the fourth possible implementation of the first aspect, an arc-shaped retaining structure is provided on each side of the inner elastic support ring.
[0011] In conjunction with the fourth possible implementation of the first aspect, in the fifth possible implementation of the first aspect, the angle between each of the arc-shaped backstop structures and the inner elastic support ring is less than 135°.
[0012] In conjunction with the fifth possible implementation of the first aspect, in the sixth possible implementation of the first aspect, the end of each of the arc-shaped backstop structures bends back in a direction away from the outer elastic support ring.
[0013] In conjunction with the fourth possible implementation of the first aspect, in the seventh possible implementation of the first aspect, the line connecting the two said arc-shaped backstop structures is parallel to the line connecting the two said saliva tube clips.
[0014] Beneficial Effects: The mouth diffuser used in this oral implant surgery protocol includes an outer elastic support ring, an inner elastic support ring, and a flexible bearing surface. The flexible bearing surface connects the outer and inner elastic support rings, forming a cylindrical shape. The portion of the flexible bearing surface near the inner elastic support ring has a dot-matrix perforated area. This dot-matrix perforated area allows saliva and blood to pass through when the patient opens their mouth using the mouth diffuser, and is then suctioned away by the suction tube, preventing accumulation in the mandible, eliminating the foreign body sensation, and improving the patient experience. Furthermore, two suction tube clips are provided along the central axis of the outer elastic support ring, away from the inner elastic support ring. The line connecting the two suction tube clips passes through the center of the outer elastic support ring. This facilitates the secure holding and fixation of the suction tube using the suction tube clips. On each side of the inner elastic support ring, there is an arc-shaped retaining structure. The angle between each arc-shaped retaining structure and the inner elastic support ring is less than 135°. The end of each arc-shaped retaining structure bends back away from the outer elastic support ring (with a certain curvature, similar to the gentle downward pressure of a brush tip, so that it fits better when in contact with the patient's oral cavity wall, minimizing the feeling of a foreign object). The line connecting the two arc-shaped retaining structures is parallel to the line connecting the two suction tube clips. This design facilitates better support inside the patient's oral cavity, and the bend in the structure avoids damage to the patient's oral cavity, minimizing the feeling of a foreign object and improving the patient's experience when using this mouth opener.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a first type of mouth expander 10 for oral implant surgery provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0026] In this embodiment, the mouth expander 10 for oral implant surgery includes an outer elastic support ring 11, an inner elastic support ring 12, and a flexible bearing surface 13. The flexible bearing surface 13 connects the outer elastic support ring 11 and the inner elastic support ring 12, forming a cylindrical shape. The portion of the flexible bearing surface 13 near the inner elastic support ring 12 has a dot-matrix through-hole region 131. The outer elastic support ring 11, the inner elastic support ring 12, and the flexible bearing surface 13 can all be made of medical materials such as rubber or silicone. However, it is necessary to ensure the supporting function of the outer elastic support ring 11 and the inner elastic support ring 12, and to maintain the flexibility and bearing function of the flexible bearing surface 13.
[0027] Depending on the specific needs, the outer elastic support ring 11 and the inner elastic support ring 12 can have the same dimensions, such as 87mm*87mm. Alternatively, the inner diameter of the outer elastic support ring 11 can be larger than the inner diameter of the inner elastic support ring 12, such as 90mm*87mm.
[0028] Please see Figure 2 To facilitate the fixation of the saliva tube, a saliva tube clamp 14 can be provided on the outer elastic support ring 11 along the central axis away from the inner elastic support ring 12. The saliva tube clamp 14 can also be made of the same material, so as to facilitate integral molding with the outer elastic support ring 11.
[0029] The suction tube clips 14 are two in number, and the line connecting the two clips passes through the center of the outer elastic support ring 11. This allows the two clips on the outer elastic support ring 11 to be positioned on either side of the patient's spread lips during use, facilitating the fixation of the suction tube. Of course, one clip can be selected from one side to hold the suction tube, making it easier for medical staff to operate on the patient's oral implant area.
[0030] An arc-shaped retaining structure 15 is provided on each side of the inner elastic support ring 12, and the angle between each arc-shaped retaining structure 15 and the inner elastic support ring 12 is less than 135°. The end of each arc-shaped retaining structure 15 bends back away from the outer elastic support ring 11. The line connecting the two arc-shaped retaining structures 15 is parallel to the line connecting the two saliva suction tube clips 14.
[0031] When the patient uses the mouth diffuser 10 for oral implant surgery, the inner elastic support ring 12 is compressed and inserted into the mouth, but located on the outer side of the teeth; that is, the inner elastic support ring 12 is located between the teeth and the inner wall of the lips. The direction is adjusted so that the two arc-shaped retaining structures 15 are on both sides, and at this time, the suction tube clips 14 on the outer elastic support ring 11 are also located on both sides of the patient's outer lips. The flexible support surface then holds the patient's lip tissue, effectively opening the patient's oral cavity. At this time, the dot-matrix perforated area 131 on the flexible support surface is located inside the patient's lips. Due to the presence of the perforations and the holding effect of the flexible support surface, during oral implant surgery, the patient's saliva and blood from the procedure are suctioned away by the suction tube, preventing accumulation in the patient's mandible, resulting in almost no foreign body sensation and a better patient experience.
[0032] In summary, this application provides a mouth diffuser 10 for oral implant surgery, including an outer elastic support ring 11, an inner elastic support ring 12, and a flexible bearing surface 13. The flexible bearing surface 13 connects the outer elastic support ring 11 and the inner elastic support ring 12, forming a cylindrical shape. The portion of the flexible bearing surface 13 near the inner elastic support ring 12 has a dot-matrix perforated area 131. Utilizing the dot-matrix perforated area 131 on the flexible bearing surface 13, when the patient uses this mouth diffuser to open their mouth, saliva, blood, etc., can pass through the dot-matrix perforated area 131 and be suctioned away by the saliva suction tube, preventing accumulation in the mandible, eliminating the foreign body sensation, and improving the patient experience. Furthermore, two suction tube clips 14 are provided on the outer elastic support ring 11 along the central axis away from the inner elastic support ring 12. The line connecting the two suction tube clips 14 passes through the center of the outer elastic support ring 11. This allows the suction tube to be easily held and fixed using the suction tube clips 14. On each side of the inner elastic support ring 12, there is an arc-shaped retaining structure 15. The angle between each arc-shaped retaining structure 15 and the inner elastic support ring 12 is less than 135°. The end of each arc-shaped retaining structure 15 bends back away from the outer elastic support ring 11 (with a certain curvature, similar to the curve of a brush tip gently pressing down, so that it fits better when in contact with the patient's oral cavity wall and reduces the feeling of foreign body). The line connecting the two arc-shaped retaining structures 15 is parallel to the line connecting the two suction tube clips 14. This design provides better support inside the patient's mouth, and the curved structure avoids damaging the patient's mouth, minimizing the feeling of a foreign object and making the experience of using this mouth flare better for the patient.
[0033] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
