[0025] In order to further understand the features and technical contents of the utility model, please refer to the following detailed description and drawings of the utility model, however, the drawings are provided for reference and illustration only, and are not used to limit the utility model. In the drawings,

[0026] Figures 1-3 A preferred embodiment of the utility model is shown. Refer to Figures 1-3This utility model provides a rubber dam for alveolar processes, including a rubber dam 1 and an outer support 2 and an inner support 3 disposed on the rubber dam 1. The rubber dam 1, the outer support 2, and the inner support 3 are all made of elastic material. The outer support 2 is an elastic ring disposed at the edge of the rubber dam 1. The inner support 3 is located inside the outer support 2 and includes an outer ring 31, an inner ring 32, and two pairs of connecting parts 33 connecting the inner ring 32 and the outer ring 31. Each pair of connecting parts 33, together with the outer ring 31 and the inner ring 33, forms a closed ring 34. The closed ring 34 is used to fix the rubber dam 1 to the alveolar process. The two pairs of closed rings 34 respectively fix the rubber dam 1 to the upper and lower alveolar processes. The rubber dam 1 forms an opening area 11 within the closed ring 34.

[0027] The rubber dam 1 is located between the outer support 2 and the inner support 3 (this part is located outside the oral cavity when the rubber dam is in use), and the inner support 3 (this part is located inside the oral cavity when the rubber dam is in use) is loose and has ample capacity, which can adapt to the oral cavity shape of different patients.

[0028] This invention relates to a rubber dam for alveolar processes. The rubber dam, outer support, and inner support are all made of elastic materials, allowing them to adapt to different patients' oral cavity shapes. Once inserted into the mouth, the elastic force adapts to oral cavity deformation, forming a waterproof seal on the alveolar mucosa. The outer ring, inner ring, and connecting part of the inner support form a closed loop for fixing the rubber dam to the alveolar process, placing the entire dentition in the opening area and sealing the mucosa, tongue, palate, and pharynx, facilitating manipulation of teeth, gums, and alveolar bone by the dentist. This invention utilizes the inherent elasticity of the closed loop formed by the outer ring, inner ring, and connecting part to adapt to different patients' dental arch shapes, enabling convenient insertion, removal, adjustment, and fixation of the rubber dam. The operation is simple and quick, saving time and facilitating treatment, with wide applicability. When the alveolar rubber dam of this invention is installed in the mouth, the entire dentition is located under the rubber dam in the opening area. A small hole is made by point contact with a heat carrier at the tooth position that needs to be exposed. The small hole is then pressed into the interdental space of the tooth to be treated using dental floss to expose the tooth to be treated and protect the gums. It can be applied to various scenarios with strict moisture isolation, such as root canal treatment.

[0029] The rubber dam of this invention, located on the alveolar ridge, can have pre-drilled holes or not pre-drilled holes corresponding to the alveolar ridge region within the perforation area. For example, in... Figures 1-3 In the illustrated embodiment, the opening area 11 is provided with an annular perforation line 111, which is used to make an opening along the annular perforation line 111 during treatment to expose the area to be treated. This embodiment can be applied to various treatment scenarios, especially those requiring exposure of the entire dentition for treatment. When exposure of the entire dentition is required for treatment, the rubber dam can be opened along the preset annular perforation line to expose the entire dentition, making the use of the rubber dam more convenient and saving operation time.

This embodiment is suitable for the scene that needs to expose the full dentition to carry out treatment, and opening operation is not needed during use. Since the rubber dam cloth and inner support are made of elastic material respectively, they have elasticity, can adapt to different tooth bed sizes, can adapt to oral cavity deformation, and can be tightly attached to the tooth bed surface to realize sealing and blocking saliva. The pre-provided opening of the rubber dam cloth can further reduce the use of auxiliary equipment, make the operation more convenient, reduce the operation steps, and save operation time.

The structure of the connecting part of the utility model can provide sufficient rigidity to better conduct force between the outer ring and the inner ring. During use, the synchronous deformation of the outer ring and the inner ring can be realized by applying force to the connecting part, so that the rubber dam can be more conveniently put on and taken off and adjusted.

[0038] Preferably, the first reinforcing part 331 extends in a direction away from the inner ring 32 at one end away from the third reinforcing part 333 to form a hand holding part 3311. During use, pressure is applied to the hand holding part, and the connecting part simultaneously applies the pressure received by the hand holding part to the outer ring and the inner ring, so as to realize the synchronous deformation of the outer ring and the inner ring to facilitate the putting on and taking off and adjustment of the rubber dam.

[0039] Preferably, the rubber dam cloth 1, the inner support 3 and the outer support 2 are integrally formed by bonding and cannot be separated, so that the use of the rubber dam is more convenient, the operation steps are reduced, and the operation time is saved.

[0040] As a variable implementation, Figure 5 The alveolar process rubber dam of the utility model is shown another embodiment, in which the rubber dam cloth 1'' further comprises a first cavity 12'' for accommodating the outer support and a second cavity 13'' for accommodating the inner support, the outer support is enclosed in the first cavity 12'' by the rubber dam cloth 1'', and the inner support is enclosed in the second cavity 13'' by the rubber dam cloth 1''; thus, the use of the alveolar process rubber dam is more convenient, and the operation steps are reduced, and the operation time is saved.
