Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dental surgical endoscope technology, and in particular to a fixed adjustable apical surgical endoscope. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of dentistry, root canal treatment is an effective treatment for periapical diseases. However, due to the inherent failure rate of root canal treatment, when inflammation at the root apex cannot be treated with root canal therapy, apical surgery is often necessary to preserve the affected tooth. Apical surgery involves surgically removing the root apex under a microscope, clearing necrotic and infected tissue from the surgical area, and tightly sealing the root canal system. During apical surgery, an incision is made in the gingiva in the periapical region, removing surface alveolar bone to expose the root apex, which is then removed, followed by a delicate retrograde filling procedure. Because the space for apical surgery is extremely small, less than 1 cm in size, and located deep in the vestibule with an inverted surgical area, a reflective microscope is essential for accurate observation. However, performing microscopic surgery while observing with a reflective microscope in such a confined area is exceptionally sensitive, making it a highly complex dental procedure. Therefore, the stability and reflective accuracy of the reflective microscope are crucial.

[0003] However, conventional mirrors are handheld, and the human hand has poor stability, making it impossible to effectively fix the mirror for a long time. Especially under a microscope, even slight shaking of the mirror will be magnified, making it impossible for doctors to obtain a stable field of vision and affecting the normal performance of apical surgery. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the technical problem of poor stability of handheld mirrors in existing technologies, which prevents doctors from obtaining a stable field of vision and affects the normal conduct of apical surgery, this utility model provides the following technical solution.

[0005] This utility model discloses a fixed adjustable apical endoscope, comprising a fixing clamp and a flexible rod fixedly connected to the fixing clamp. An adjusting rod is hinged to one end of the flexible rod away from the fixing clamp, and a connecting member is hinged to the other end of the adjusting rod away from the flexible rod. A reflector is fixedly connected to the connecting member. A push-pull component is connected to one side of the outer wall of the adjusting rod, and one end of the push-pull component is hinged to the connecting member. A suction component is also connected to one side of the outer wall of the adjusting rod. Mucosal baffles facing away from the reflector and light sources facing the reflector are respectively connected to the two sides of the outer wall of the adjusting rod near the reflector.

[0006] As a further technical solution, the connector includes a first hinged end hinged to the adjusting rod and a second hinged end hinged to the push-pull component, and also includes a fixed end fixedly connected to the reflector.

[0007] As a further technical solution, the suction component includes a suction tube connected to the dental chair suction device, a fixing ring for fixing the suction tube to one side of the adjusting rod, and a connecting piece for fixing the suction tube to one end of the connector. The suction tube is provided with a suction head at one end near the back of the reflector.

[0008] As a further technical solution, the push-pull component includes a push-pull rod with a push-pull end that is hinged to the connector and a support plate fixed to one side of the adjusting rod.

[0009] As a further technical solution, the support plate is provided with a movable groove, and the push-pull rod moves in the movable groove to push and pull the connector and the reflector.

[0010] As a further technical solution, the fixing clamp includes an integrally formed first clamping piece and a second clamping piece, the second clamping piece being threadedly connected to a tightening stud, and one end of the tightening stud being provided with a clamping piece located between the first clamping piece and the second clamping piece.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The fixing clip can be stably held on the patient's tooth crown. The length and bending angle of the flexible rod and adjusting rod inside the oral cavity can be adjusted by regulating their respective positions, thereby adjusting the horizontal and vertical angles of the reflector. The angle of the reflector can be precisely adjusted via the push-pull component, allowing it to reach the optimal observation position and surgical field of view. Its stability is good, and it can effectively fix the reflector for a long time, ensuring the surgeon has a stable field of view and guaranteeing the normal progress of periapical surgery. The suction component can effectively remove blood, saliva, and humid air from the surgical site, keeping the reflector surface clean. The light component provides illumination to the dark surgical area, and the mucosal barrier can effectively push open the mucosal flap at the surgical site, ensuring the smooth progress of the surgery.
