Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dental technology, and in particular to an adjustable headrest for positioning patients in dental CT scans. Background Technology

[0002] Dentistry generally focuses on treating dental-related diseases, such as dental caries, periodontal disease, orthodontics, and dental implants. When suffering from oral diseases, it is necessary to go to a dental hospital in time for a dental CT scan to conduct a comprehensive examination of the teeth. This can accurately understand the development and severity of the disease, so that the correct treatment measures can be taken in time. During a dental CT scan, the patient's head needs to be fixed with a headrest to prevent the patient's head from moving around and affecting the CT scan results.

[0003] The headrest is fixed to the CT scanner by multiple bolts, which is inconvenient to disassemble and maintain. The headrest is fixed in position and can be adjusted according to the patient's head circumference. However, different patients have different requirements for the headrest position, and the overall position of the headrest cannot be adjusted, resulting in poor flexibility. Therefore, we propose an adjustable headrest for positioning patients in dental CT scans. Utility Model Content

A mounting structure is embedded in the front surface of the CT scanner body, and a control panel is embedded in the front surface of the mounting structure. Fixing structures are fixedly mounted on both sides of the mounting structure below. There are two sets of fixing structures, and the headrest body is embedded in the front surface of each fixing structure.

[0007] Furthermore, the CT scanner body includes a shell, a connecting rod, an L-shaped rod, a sliding groove, a mounting groove, an embedding groove, a first screw hole, a second screw hole, and bolts. The front surface of the shell has two sets of sliding grooves. The interior of the shell has mounting grooves behind the sliding grooves.
