Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oral medical device technology, specifically to a novel tool for removing enamel from adjacent surfaces. Background Technology

[0002] Interproximal enamel reduction, also known as "tooth reduction," is a common technique used in orthodontic treatment. Its purpose is to reduce the mesial and distal width of teeth by removing a portion of the enamel between adjacent teeth, creating space for tooth movement and thus addressing issues such as crowding and mild protrusion.

[0003] An existing type of adjacent-face glaze removal structure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a first retaining frame 1 and a second retaining frame 2. A connecting strip 11 is fixed to the top of the first retaining frame 1, and a connecting groove is provided on the top of the second retaining frame 2. The connecting strip 11 can be slidably inserted into the connecting groove to form an arc-shaped retaining frame. A stud 3 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the second retaining frame 2, and a knob 4 is threaded onto the stud 3. The knob 4 can be rotated on the stud 3 until it abuts against the first retaining frame 1. A first slot is provided at the bottom of the first retaining frame 1, and a second slot is provided at the bottom of the second retaining frame 2. A sanding strip 5 is clamped in the first slot and the second slot. A first sleeve 6 is hinged to the frame of the first retaining frame 1. The first sleeve 6 is adapted to clamp one end of the sanding strip 5 located at the bottom of the first retaining frame 1. A second sleeve 7 is hinged to the frame of the second retaining frame 2. The second sleeve 7 is adapted to clamp the other end of the sanding strip 5 located at the bottom of the second retaining frame 2. In use, first rotate knob 4 on stud 3 until it contacts and abuts against the first retainer 1, thereby tightening and straightening the abrasive strip 5, which is locked in the first and second retainer slots. Then, use your thumb and forefinger to press the outer surfaces of the first retainer 6 and the second retainer 7 respectively to secure the entire proximal enamel remover. Then, repeatedly move the abrasive strip 5 to remove a certain amount of enamel from the proximal surfaces of the teeth. This process requires precise control of the amount removed to avoid excessive damage to the teeth. However, the inventors of this application have found through clinical use that the process of removing enamel from the proximal surfaces of teeth using abrasive strips is currently performed inside the oral cavity. Due to the relatively small space inside the oral cavity, this operation is time-consuming, laborious, and inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The existing process of removing enamel from the proximal surfaces of teeth using abrasive strips is currently performed inside the oral cavity. Due to the limited space inside the oral cavity, this process is time-consuming, laborious, and inconvenient. Therefore, this invention provides a novel proximal enamel removal tool.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A novel adjacent surface glaze removal tool includes a first retaining frame and a second retaining frame. A connecting strip is fixed to the top of the first retaining frame, and a connecting groove is formed on the top of the second retaining frame. The connecting strip can be slidably inserted into the connecting groove to form an arc-shaped retaining frame. A stud is fixedly connected to the inner side of the second retaining frame, and a knob is threaded onto the stud. The knob can be rotated on the stud until it abuts against the first retaining frame. A first slot is provided at the bottom of the first retaining frame, and a second slot is provided at the bottom of the second retaining frame. An abrasive strip or a plastic gauze strip is clamped in the first slot and the second slot. A first sleeve is hinged to the frame of the first retaining frame, which is suitable for clamping one end of the abrasive strip located at the bottom of the first retaining frame. A second sleeve is hinged to the frame of the second retaining frame, which is suitable for clamping the other end of the abrasive strip located at the bottom of the second retaining frame. A support rod that can extend out of the mouth is provided on the top side of the second retaining frame.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the novel proximal enamel removal tool provided by this utility model adopts a support rod set on the top side of the second retention frame. Thus, when using this novel proximal enamel removal tool, the support rod extending outside the oral cavity can be used to hold the entire proximal enamel removal tool tightly. Then, the abrasive strip is repeatedly moved to grind away a certain amount of enamel from the proximal surface of the teeth. Compared with the existing grinding operation performed inside the oral cavity, this application has a larger operating space outside the oral cavity, thus saving time and effort and making it very convenient.

[0008] Furthermore, the support rod is fixedly installed parallel to the top side of the second retaining frame in the left-right direction.

[0009] Furthermore, the support rod is fixedly installed perpendicular to the top side of the second retaining frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the top side of the second retaining frame is provided with two elastic clips arranged opposite each other, and the two elastic clips are provided with connecting holes. One end surface of the support rod is provided with two connecting shafts arranged opposite each other. The two connecting shafts are rotatably sleeved in the two connecting holes, and one end surface of the support rod is in contact with the opposite inner side of the two elastic clips and is clamped.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the first and second retaining brackets is provided with threaded holes, and a locking screw that abuts against the sanding strip is threaded into the threaded holes.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer edges of the first and second card sleeves are arc-shaped smooth surfaces, and the arc of the arc-shaped smooth surface bends towards the inner side of the retainer. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Please refer to Figure 2As shown, this utility model provides a novel adjacent-surface glaze removal tool, including a first retaining frame 1 and a second retaining frame 2. A connecting strip 11 is fixed to the top of the first retaining frame 1, and a connecting groove is formed on the top of the second retaining frame 2. The connecting strip 11 can be slidably inserted into the connecting groove, forming an arc-shaped retaining frame with the first retaining frame 1 and the second retaining frame 2. The slidable insertion of the connecting strip 11 into the connecting groove ensures smooth movement of the first retaining frame 1 after being abutted by a knob 4. A stud 3 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the second retaining frame 2, and a knob 4 is threaded onto the stud 3. The knob 4 can be rotated on the stud 3 until it abuts against the first retaining frame 4. The first retaining frame 1 has a first slot at its bottom, and the second retaining frame 2 has a second slot at its bottom. Abrasive strips 5 are fitted into the first and second slots. The abrasive strips 5 can be other types of abrasive strips, such as diamond strips or plastic strips. A first retaining sleeve 6 is hinged to the frame of the first retaining frame 1. The first retaining sleeve 6 is adapted to clamp one end of the abrasive strip 5 located at the bottom of the first retaining frame 1. A second retaining sleeve 7 is hinged to the frame of the second retaining frame 2. The second retaining sleeve 7 is adapted to clamp the other end of the abrasive strip 5 located at the bottom of the second retaining frame 2. A support rod 8 that can extend out of the oral cavity is provided on the top side of the second retaining frame 2.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the novel proximal enamel removal tool provided by this utility model adopts a support rod set on the top side of the second retention frame. Thus, when using this novel proximal enamel removal tool, the support rod extending outside the oral cavity can be used to hold the entire proximal enamel removal tool tightly. Then, the abrasive strip is repeatedly moved to grind away a certain amount of enamel from the proximal surface of the teeth. Compared with the existing grinding operation performed inside the oral cavity, this application has a larger operating space outside the oral cavity, thus saving time and effort and making it very convenient.

[0021] As one specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the support rod 8 is fixed (e.g., welded) in the left-right direction parallel to the top side of the second retainer 2, and the novel proximal enamel removal tool thus formed is suitable for grinding away the enamel between two adjacent incisors.

[0022] In another specific embodiment, the support rod 8 is fixed (e.g., welded) perpendicular to the top side of the second retainer 2, thereby forming a novel interproximal enamel removal tool suitable for grinding away the enamel between two adjacent molars.

[0023] In another specific embodiment, the top side of the second retaining frame 2 is provided with two elastic clips arranged opposite each other. The two elastic clips are provided with connecting holes. One end surface of the support rod 8 is provided with two connecting shafts arranged opposite each other. The two connecting shafts are rotatably sleeved in the two connecting holes, that is, one connecting shaft is rotatably sleeved in one connecting hole. The one end surface of the support rod 8 is in contact with the opposite inner side of the two elastic clips and is clamped. This allows the support rod 8 to be rotatably clamped on the top side of the second retaining frame 2. Thus, when the support rod 8 is held and rotated to change direction, it can be rotated to be parallel or perpendicular to the top side of the second retaining frame 2, which is suitable for grinding the enamel between two adjacent incisors or molars.

[0024] For a specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the first retaining bracket 1 and the second retaining bracket 2 are provided with threaded holes, and the threaded holes are connected with locking screws 9 that abut against the sanding strip 5, so that the sanding strip 5 can be better locked and not loosened, thereby ensuring the reliability of the glaze removal operation.

[0025] For a specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the outer edges of the first ferrule 6 and the second ferrule 7 are arc-shaped smooth surfaces, and the arc of the arc-shaped smooth surface bends towards the inner side of the fixation frame. Therefore, compared with the prior art, which sets the outer edges of the first ferrule 6 and the second ferrule 7 to be arc-shaped towards the outer side of the fixation frame in order to facilitate the thumb and index finger to press the outer sides of the first ferrule 6 and the second ferrule 7 respectively, the structural design in this embodiment can better avoid the outer side of the ferrule from causing damage to the oral mucosa, and effectively improve the patient's comfort during the enamel removal operation.

[0026] As a specific embodiment, in order to make the novel adjacent surface glaze removal tool provided by this utility model more compact, those skilled in the art can also omit the stud 3 and the knob 4 threadedly connected to the stud 3 in the novel adjacent surface glaze removal tool, thereby making the novel adjacent surface glaze removal tool smaller in size.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
