Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dental reflector technology, and in particular to a single-person closed dentition lateral reflector device. Background Technology

[0002] Oral clinical photography is an important guide and data recording method in oral data preservation and treatment. Among them, closed-mouth lateral dentition photography is an important clinical method for recording the lateral dentition, gingiva, and occlusion. The basic operation is as follows: Instruct the patient to open their mouth wide, place the mirror on the labial and buccal side of the dentition to be imaged, and instruct the patient to close their mouth and bite. During this process, a macro SLR camera takes clinical images in the mirror from the opposite side. This process requires one person to hold the SLR camera with both hands to take pictures, one person to hold the mirror with one hand to stabilize its position, one person to use an air gun to blow away the fog on the mirror caused by the moist oral environment, and one person to use a saliva suction tube to collect the saliva continuously secreted in the patient's mouth. An auxiliary light is used to illuminate the dark areas deep in the mouth for focusing before the SLR camera takes pictures. Then, one person holds the SLR camera to complete the closed-mouth lateral dentition photography and record the lateral dentition, gingiva, and occlusion.

[0003] However, the above-mentioned imaging operation is quite cumbersome. Multiple steps and operations often require 3 to 4 people to perform simultaneously, which wastes a lot of manpower and results in low efficiency of imaging the lateral aspect of the closed dentition. Moreover, due to the narrow oral cavity space of the patient, the operating space is small and the field of view is limited. Therefore, problems such as saliva, fogging, angle, focus and position often lead to failure of imaging the lateral aspect of the closed dentition, resulting in a longer imaging time and even causing oral accessory damage, resulting in poor imaging effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the technical problems of existing technologies, such as cumbersome operation, low shooting efficiency, and easy failure of lateral lateral dentition photography, which leads to prolonged shooting time and even oral accessory damage, resulting in poor photographic quality, this utility model provides the following technical solution.

[0005] This utility model discloses a single-person closed-tooth lateral positioning reflector device, comprising a main connecting rod, a fixing plate with fixing clamps at both ends of the main connecting rod, and an adjusting component with a reflector connecting rod. A reflector is fixedly connected to the end of the reflector connecting rod away from the adjusting component. The main connecting rod has a sliding part connected to the adjusting component. The adjusting component includes a movable ring sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding part and a fixing plate located at the upper end of the movable ring. The fixing plate is rotatably connected to a rotating disk with a fixing block fixed on its upper part. The fixing block is threadedly connected to a threaded part located on one side of the reflector connecting rod.

[0006] As a further technical solution, the fixing clip has a U-shaped structure, and the inner wall of the fixing clip is provided with several elastic protrusions.

[0007] As a further technical solution, the clamp has a hollow inner cavity, the inner cavity of which is connected to a suction tube connected to the dental chair suction device, and the lower part of the inner cavity of the clamp is provided with several liquid inlets.

[0008] As a further technical solution, silicone blocks are provided at both the top and bottom ends of the reflector.

[0009] As a further technical solution, a lip support frame that lifts the lip is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate.

[0010] As a further technical solution, a miniature fan and auxiliary lights are provided on the side of the main connecting rod facing the reflector.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention allows the main connecting rod to push the reflector and the fixing clip into both sides of the oral cavity, fixing the clip to the posterior part of the dentition. The fixing clip is hollow and connected to a suction tube, which can absorb saliva from the posterior part of the oral cavity, preventing saliva from adversely affecting the reflector. The reflector and reflector connecting rod are connected to the main connecting rod via an adjustment component. After the fixing clip is fixed to the posterior part of the dentition, the adjustment component can be operated to adjust the angle and position of the reflector to adapt to different oral cavity sizes. Therefore, the photography operation can be completed by only one person, reducing manpower waste and improving the efficiency of lateral imaging of closed dentition. The lip support can open the lips along the imaging path to obtain a larger imaging range. The silicone block can open the mucous membrane above and below the reflector to prevent it from affecting the reflector. The miniature fan can blow away fog caused by moisture on the reflector surface. The auxiliary light provides the necessary lighting for photography, ensuring the stability of the imaging space and environment, and guaranteeing the imaging effect of lateral imaging of closed dentition.

The movable ring 601 slides with friction with the sliding part 101. Only when force is applied to make the movable ring 601 slide relative to the sliding part 101, and when the movable ring 601 is not under force, it is stable relative to the sliding part 101.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, a fixed disk 602 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the movable ring 601. The fixed disk 602 is rotatably connected to a rotating disk 603 on which a fixed block 604 is fixedly mounted. The rotating disk 603 rotates rubbed against the fixed disk 602. The fixed block 604 is threadedly connected to a threaded portion 702 located on one side of the reflector connecting rod 7. The reflector connecting rod 7 is provided with a handle 701. Turning the handle 701 causes the reflector connecting rod 7 to rotate threadedly relative to the fixed block 604, thereby adjusting the longitudinal angle of the reflector 8. Moving the handle 701 horizontally causes the fixed block 604 and the rotating disk 603 to rotate horizontally relative to the fixed disk 602, thereby adjusting the horizontal angle of the reflector 8.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, silicone blocks 9 are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the reflector 8. The silicone blocks 9 can open up the mucous membranes on the upper and lower parts of the reflector 8 to prevent them from affecting the reflector 8. A lip support frame 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate 2 to lift the lip. The lip support frame 5 can open up the lip in the photographic path to obtain a larger photographic range. A miniature fan 10 and an auxiliary light 11 are provided on the side of the main connecting rod 1 facing the reflector 8. The miniature fan 10 can blow away the fog caused by moisture on the surface of the reflector 8, and the auxiliary light 11 can provide the lighting required for photography, ensuring the stability of the photographic space and environment, and ensuring the photographic effect of the closed dental arch in the lateral position.
