Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oral and dental measurement technology, and in particular to an auxiliary measuring tool for selecting oral appliances. Background Technology

[0002] When making a dental impression, the mixed dental impression material is usually laid on a dental impression tray and then placed in the patient's mouth to take an impression. However, due to the varying sizes of patients' mouths, dentists need to assess the size of the patient's dental arch when choosing a dental impression tray to make the impression. Currently, the assessment of the patient's dental arch size is usually based on the experience of the dental staff making the impression, which places high demands on them. Other methods use measuring tools to measure the dental arch; however, existing measuring tools first collect occlusal impressions of the teeth, and then measure these impressions externally using other measuring tools. This process, using two different tools for acquisition and measurement, is cumbersome and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing methods, this invention provides an auxiliary measuring tool for selecting dental instruments.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an auxiliary measuring tool for selecting oral appliances, comprising an arc-shaped soft plate whose surface can be bitten into to form an image, wherein the soft plate has an arc-shaped notch on one side of the bottom edge, the top surface of the soft plate has a first scale mark extending from one end of the bottom edge of the soft plate to the other end of the bottom edge of the soft plate, the top surface of the soft plate has a second scale mark perpendicular to the bottom edge direction of the soft plate between the top of the arc and the top of the arc-shaped notch, and the soft plate has a handle at the top of the arc.

[0005] Preferably, the soft plate is a plate capable of plastic deformation.

[0006] Preferably, the handle is a handle that extends radially from the soft board at its arc apex position, and the soft board is also provided with an arc-shaped baffle that is perpendicular to the top surface of the soft board and extends along the arc-shaped edge of the soft board at its arc apex position.

[0007] Preferably, the top of the arc-shaped baffle has a baffle notch at a position corresponding to the arc top of the soft plate.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom surface of the flexible board has a third scale mark and a fourth scale mark corresponding to the positions of the first and second scale marks on the top surface of the flexible board.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model sets the scale markings on a soft plate that can form an occlusal image, integrating the tooth occlusal impression and measurement on the same object. When in use, the measurement data of the dental arch can be read intuitively by using the occlusal image on the soft plate, eliminating the need to use a ruler to measure the occlusal image, reducing operation steps and improving efficiency; it also does not require high requirements for medical staff who make dental molds, making it convenient to use.

[0013] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments, providing a clear and complete description. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The implementation conditions used in the embodiments may be further adjusted according to the specific conditions of the manufacturer. Implementation conditions not specified are generally those used in conventional experiments. Furthermore, directional terms mentioned in the present invention, such as "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," "right," "inner," and "outer," are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying illustrations. The use of directional terms is for better and clearer explanation and understanding of the present invention, and is not intended to indicate or imply any necessary orientation of the present invention. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention.

[0014] Examples of embodiments of this utility model Figure 1As shown, an auxiliary measuring tool for selecting oral appliances includes a flexible, curved plate 1 whose surface can be bitten into to form an image. That is, the flexible plate 1 has a certain degree of elasticity and can bend to a certain extent under small forces without affecting its inherent properties. For example, the flexible plate 1 is a disposable product made of paper, reducing costs and avoiding the need for disinfection procedures during multiple uses, as well as the risk of cross-infection due to incomplete disinfection. Teeth biting on the paper will leave teeth marks, and the paper can also be... The flexible plate 1 can be bent and inserted into the mouth during use, then unfolded inside the mouth. To remove it, it can be bent again and removed from the mouth, avoiding the problems associated with the width of the dental arch being greater than the width of the mouth. Preferably, the flexible plate 1 is a plastically deformable plate, such as one made by coating paper with a wax layer. The flexible plate 1 has an arc-shaped notch 2 on one side of its curved bottom edge, corresponding to the position of the tongue. The top surface of the flexible plate 1 is positioned along the bottom edge. A first graduation mark 3 extends from one end of the bottom edge of the flexible plate 1 to the other end. Part of the first graduation mark 3 is located on the top surface of the flexible plate 1 to the left of the arc-shaped notch 2, and the other part is located on the right of the top surface of the flexible plate 1 to the right of the arc-shaped notch 2. The first graduation mark 3 is used to measure the width of the dental arch. A second graduation mark 4, perpendicular to the direction of the bottom edge of the flexible plate 1, is located on the top surface of the flexible plate 1 between the apex of the arc and the top of the arc-shaped notch 2. The second graduation mark 4 is used for... To measure the length of the dental arch, the soft plate 1 is placed in the mouth, and the teeth bite down, leaving imprints on the soft plate 1. After the soft plate 1 is removed from the mouth, the size of the patient's dental arch can be quickly and directly determined by the first scale mark 3 and the second scale mark 4. This allows for the selection of a dental impression tray or other oral instruments related to the size of the dental arch that are suitable for the patient, reducing measurement steps, making it more convenient to use, and improving efficiency. The soft plate 1 has a handle 5 at its apex, which is used to pick up and put down the soft plate 1, making the operation convenient.

[0015] Further improvements, such as Figure 1 As shown, the handle 5 is a handle extending radially from the apex of the soft board 1. The soft board 1 also has an arc-shaped baffle 6 at its apex, perpendicular to the top surface of the soft board 1 and extending along its arc-shaped edge. The arc-shaped baffle 6 extends from the apex of the soft board 1 to both sides of the apex, acting as a barrier against the lips when the soft board 1 is placed in the mouth. The arc-shaped baffle 6 is also made of paper and is pasted onto the soft board 6. A baffle notch 60 is provided at the top of the arc-shaped baffle 6 at a position corresponding to the apex of the soft board 1. The baffle notch 60 corresponds to the middle position of the upper lip, providing clearance at that position.

[0016] Further improvements, such as Figure 2 As shown, the bottom surface of the soft plate 1 is provided with a third scale mark 7 and a fourth scale mark 8 corresponding to the positions of the first scale mark 3 and the second scale mark 4 on the top surface of the soft plate 1. The third scale mark 7 corresponds to the first scale mark 3 and is used to measure the width of the dental arch. The fourth scale mark 8 corresponds to the second scale mark 4 and is used to measure the length of the dental arch. In this way, the dimensions of the upper and lower dental arches can be measured more accurately during use.

[0017] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general description and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
