Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of orthodontic technology, and in particular to 3D-printed patch guides. Background Technology

[0002] 3D printing is a rapid prototyping technology that uses digital model files as a basis and bondable materials such as powdered metal or plastic to construct objects layer by layer. Initially, 3D printing technology was primarily used in mold making and industrial design to create models. With technological advancements, it has gradually expanded to directly manufacture product parts and has found applications in numerous fields, including jewelry, footwear, architecture, engineering, aerospace, dentistry, the medical industry, and education. For example, veneer guides are used in orthodontic treatment. These guides adjust the bite of the upper and lower teeth, utilizing biomechanical principles to guide tooth movement and achieve an ideal alignment.

[0003] When bonding traditional veneer guides, if multiple veneer guides need to be bonded, one method is to bond each veneer one by one. The bonding process for each veneer guide includes trial fitting, porcelain surface treatment, abutment tooth surface treatment, and veneer bonding and placement. The operation is complicated. Moreover, because the retention shape of veneer restorations is relatively shallow, relying solely on the doctor's clinical experience and feel for placement cannot achieve precise positioning. The overflow of resin cement during veneer bonding can obscure the edges, making it difficult for the doctor to judge the placement. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a 3D-printed patch guide plate.

[0005] The 3D printed patch guide plate provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A 3D-printed patch guide plate includes: a patch guide plate body, the patch guide plate body being 3D printed, the patch guide plate body having several slots for observing the bonding situation, a colored patch being adhered to one side of the patch guide plate body, and a reinforcing mesh being fixedly provided on one side of the colored patch for covering the slots and reinforcing the colored patch.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the 3D-printed veneer guide can be bonded to multiple teeth simultaneously, improving work efficiency. Doctors can directly observe the bonding between the veneer guide and the teeth through several slots to determine whether the bonding is accurate. In addition, the slots provide space for the resin cement to overflow during veneer bonding without obscuring the edges, making it easy to observe. After the veneer is bonded, a colored veneer can be used to cover the veneer guide, so that the colored veneer matches the color of the teeth, improving the aesthetics after wearing.

[0008] Preferably, the patch guide plate has teeth on one side, and the patch guide plate is bonded between several teeth of the teeth.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, during installation, resin cement is used to directly bond the patch guide plate to several teeth of the tooth body.

[0010] Preferably, the patch guide plate has two sets of slots at both ends, and the colored patch has two sets of connecting posts fixedly inserted into the slots at both ends. One end of each connecting post has a rubber ball fixedly inserted into the slot of the patch guide plate, and the diameter of the rubber ball is larger than the diameter of the connecting post.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting column can connect the patch guide plate body and the rubber ball. The rubber ball is made of rubber and has elasticity, so it can be stuck in the slot, thereby further connecting and fixing the colored patch and the patch guide plate body, improving the stability of the colored patch after installation.

[0012] Preferably, one end of the connecting column is fixedly provided with a connecting vertical rod located inside the rubber ball, and two sets of connecting horizontal rods located inside the rubber ball are fixedly provided on both sides of the connecting vertical rod.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the rubber ball and the connecting column can be connected by the connecting vertical rod and the connecting horizontal rod, making it difficult for the rubber ball to fall off from the colored patch side.

[0014] Preferably, the reinforcing mesh includes a plurality of first reinforcing lines and a plurality of second reinforcing lines distributed vertically.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the reinforced mesh can further cover and fold several slots, preventing food from entering the mouth and getting stuck in the slots, thus avoiding discomfort. In addition, the reinforced mesh can improve the strength of the colored patch, making the colored patch less prone to damage.

[0016] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0017] 1. The 3D-printed veneer guide can be used to bond veneers to multiple teeth at the same time, improving work efficiency. Doctors can directly observe the bonding between the veneer guide and the teeth through several slots to determine whether the bonding is accurate. The slots also provide space for the resin cement to overflow during veneer bonding without obscuring the edges, making it easy to observe. After the veneers are bonded, colored veneers can be used to cover the veneer guide, so that the colored veneers match the color of the teeth, improving the aesthetics after wearing.

[0018] 2. The colored patch and reinforcing mesh provide double coverage for several slots, preventing food from entering the mouth and getting stuck, thus avoiding discomfort. The reinforcing mesh also enhances the strength of the colored patch, making it less prone to damage. The rubber ball, inserted into the slot, further connects and secures the colored patch and the patch guide plate, improving the stability of the colored patch after installation. The connecting vertical and horizontal bars connect the rubber ball and the connecting post, preventing the rubber ball from easily detaching from one side of the colored patch, making it convenient and practical.

[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0026] This application discloses a 3D-printed patch guide plate.

[0027] 3D printed patch guide plate, reference Figure 1-3 The device includes a 3D-printed patch guide plate 1, with teeth 2 on one side. The patch guide plate 1 is bonded between several teeth of the teeth 2. The 3D-printed patch guide plate 1 can simultaneously bond to the veneers of multiple teeth in the teeth 2, thereby improving work efficiency. During installation, resin cement is used to directly bond the patch guide plate 1 between several teeth of the teeth 2.

[0028] Reference Figure 1-3The veneer guide plate 1 has several slots 11 for observing the bonding condition. Doctors can directly observe the bonding condition between the veneer guide plate 1 and the tooth through the slots 11 to determine whether the bonding is accurate. The slots 11 also provide space for the resin cement to overflow when bonding the veneer, without obscuring the edges, making it easy to observe.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A colored patch 3 is adhered to one side of the patch guide plate 1. The color of the colored patch 3 can be customized as needed. After the veneer is adhered, the colored patch 3 can cover the patch guide plate 1, so that the colored patch 3 after adhesion matches the color of the teeth, improving the aesthetics after wearing. In addition, the colored patch 3 can cover several slots 11, making it difficult for food in the mouth to enter and get stuck in the slots 11, causing discomfort. The colored patch 3 and the patch guide plate 1 can be initially connected and fixed by the adhesive.

[0030] Reference Figure 2-4 The patch guide plate 1 has two sets of slots 12 at both ends. The colored patch 3 has two sets of connecting posts 31 fixed at both ends, which are inserted into the slots 12. One end of the connecting post 31 is fixed with a rubber ball 32 that is inserted into the slot 12 of the patch guide plate 1. The diameter of the rubber ball 32 is larger than the diameter of the connecting post 31. The connecting post 31 can connect the patch guide plate 1 and the rubber ball 32. The rubber ball 32 is made of rubber and has elasticity, so it can be stuck in the slot 12, thereby further connecting and fixing the colored patch 3 and the patch guide plate 1, and improving the stability of the colored patch 3 after installation.

[0031] Reference Figure 3-4 One end of the connecting column 31 is fixedly provided with a connecting vertical rod 33 located inside the rubber ball 32, and the connecting vertical rod 33 can connect the connecting column 31 and the rubber ball 32.

[0032] Reference Figure 3-4 Two sets of connecting crossbars 34 are fixed on both sides of the connecting vertical rod 33 and located inside the rubber ball 32. The connecting crossbars 34 can connect the connecting crossbars 34 and the rubber ball 32. The connecting vertical rod 33 and the connecting crossbars 34 can connect the rubber ball 32 and the connecting column 31, making it difficult for the rubber ball 32 to fall off from the colored patch 3 side.

[0033] Reference Figure 3-5A reinforcing mesh 4 is fixedly provided on one side of the colored patch 3 to cover the slot 11 and strengthen the colored patch 3. The reinforcing mesh 4 includes a number of first reinforcing lines 41 and a number of second reinforcing lines 42 distributed vertically. The reinforcing mesh 4 is woven from the number of first reinforcing lines 41 and the number of second reinforcing lines 42. The reinforcing mesh 4 can further cover and fold the slots 11 to prevent food in the mouth from entering and getting stuck in the slots 11 and causing discomfort. The reinforcing mesh 4 can also improve the strength of the colored patch 3 and make the colored patch 3 less prone to damage.

[0034] The implementation principle of the 3D printed patch guide plate in this application embodiment is as follows:

[0035] During installation, resin cement is used to directly bond the veneer guide plate 1 to several teeth of the tooth body 2. The 3D printed veneer guide plate 1 can simultaneously bond to multiple teeth in the tooth body 2, thereby improving work efficiency. Doctors can directly observe the bonding between the veneer guide plate 1 and the teeth through several slots 11 to determine whether the bonding is accurate. In addition, several slots 11 provide space for the resin cement to overflow when bonding the veneer, without obstructing the edges, making it easy to observe.

[0036] Then, the colored patch 3 with the reinforcing mesh 4 is bonded to the surface of the patch guide plate 1. At this time, the colored patch 3 and the reinforcing mesh 4 can double-cover several slots 11 to prevent food in the mouth from entering and getting stuck in the slots 11 and causing discomfort. The reinforcing mesh 4 can improve the strength of the colored patch 3, making the colored patch 3 less prone to damage, and making the colored patch 3 after bonding match the color of the teeth, improving the aesthetics after wearing.

[0037] At the same time, the rubber balls 32 at both ends of the colored patch 3 are inserted into the slots 12 at both ends of the patch guide plate 1. The rubber balls 32 are made of rubber and are elastic, so they will be stuck in the slots 12, thereby further connecting and fixing the colored patch 3 and the patch guide plate 1, improving the stability of the colored patch 3 after installation. The connecting vertical rod 33 and the connecting horizontal rod 34 can connect the rubber balls 32 and the connecting post 31, making it difficult for the rubber balls 32 to fall off from one side of the colored patch 3.

[0038] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
