Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to teaching aids, specifically a dental cleaning teaching aid component. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of dental hygiene teaching or demonstration, to enable learners to more intuitively grasp the correct cleaning methods, it is usually necessary to demonstrate the cleaning of target teeth on dental models using tools. Specifically, cleaning tools such as toothbrushes, interdental brushes, or dental floss are used to clean designated areas of the target teeth, and the cleaning effect is evaluated to help learners understand the key points and standards of cleaning.

[0003] However, existing traditional dental models have significant technical limitations. Traditional dental models have relatively fixed tooth structures. While their good visibility facilitates demonstrations and evaluations of surface cleaning, they are less effective for cleaning between teeth. The fixed tooth structure hinders observation from multiple angles, making it difficult to clearly demonstrate the cleaning status of these areas. This significantly reduces the effectiveness of the demonstration and increases the difficulty of accurately evaluating the cleaning status of these areas, failing to meet the needs of high-quality dental cleaning teaching and demonstrations. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, in order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a dental cleaning teaching tool component, which includes a tooth model having movable teeth, and the adjacent teeth of the movable teeth are transparent teeth, so as to facilitate observation and evaluation of the cleaning effect.

[0005] Specifically, a dental cleaning teaching aid component includes a dental model comprising a maxillary model and a mandibular model having several teeth, the maxillary model and the mandibular model being hinged together, the maxillary model and / or the mandibular model having at least one movable tooth, the adjacent teeth of which are transparent teeth; preferably, the movable tooth is a molar.

[0008] Optionally, the support frame includes a mounting platform and support legs. The mounting platform is rotatably mounted on the upper part of the support legs. The bottom of the mandibular model is detachably connected to the mounting platform (a mounting bolt is provided on the mounting platform, and a threaded hole matching the mounting bolt is provided on the bottom of the mandibular model). The support legs are tripods or support rods with clamps.

[0009] Optionally, the dental cleaning teaching aid assembly also includes a storage box, which has several long partitions in the length direction and short partitions in the width direction. The long partitions and short partitions are arranged in a cross pattern, so that the storage cavity of the storage box is divided into multiple independent storage units.

[0010] The dental model and the support frame are placed in different storage units via pads.

[0011] Optionally, the inner wall of the storage box is provided with a groove for installing a short partition, and several mounting slots for adjusting the installation position of the long partition are provided on the short partition.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0032] In this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0033] As described in the background section, in the field of dental cleaning instruction or demonstration, in order to enable learners to more intuitively grasp the correct cleaning methods, it is usually necessary to demonstrate the cleaning of target teeth on dental models using tools. Specifically, cleaning tools such as toothbrushes, interdental brushes, or dental floss are used to perform cleaning operations on designated areas of the target teeth, and the cleaning effect is evaluated to help learners understand the key points and standards of cleaning.

[0034] However, existing traditional dental models have significant technical limitations. Traditional dental models have relatively fixed tooth structures. While their good visibility facilitates demonstrations and evaluations of surface cleaning, they are less effective for cleaning between teeth. The fixed tooth structure hinders observation from multiple angles, making it difficult to clearly demonstrate the cleaning status of these areas. This significantly reduces the effectiveness of the demonstration and increases the difficulty of accurately evaluating the cleaning status of these areas, failing to meet the needs of high-quality dental cleaning teaching and demonstrations.

[0035] Based on the above problems, this embodiment provides a dental cleaning teaching aid component, including a dental model 100. The dental model includes a maxillary model 101 and a mandibular model 102 with several teeth 103. The maxillary model and the mandibular model are hinged together. The maxillary model and / or the mandibular model are provided with at least one movable tooth 104. The adjacent teeth of the movable tooth 104 are transparent teeth 105. Preferably, the movable tooth is a molar.

[0036] The aforementioned technical features enable teaching and demonstration of teeth cleaning. By improving the dental model, a movable tooth is designed with transparent adjacent teeth for easy observation and evaluation of the cleaning effect. In use, the movable tooth can be removed, a mark made on the target side, and then reinstalled. The operator then cleans the target mark using teeth cleaning tools (such as a toothbrush, interdental brush, or dental floss). The examiner or inspector then observes and evaluates the cleaning through the transparent teeth on both sides of the movable tooth (e.g., whether the cleaning meets requirements, and what problems still exist).

[0037] Because the removable tooth needs to be removed for cleaning and marking, and the tooth is small, it is prone to falling out during installation, affecting the teaching progress; therefore, in one embodiment, the removable tooth is installed magnetically or with an elastic element (such as a rubber band). The magnetic structure can involve installing a magnet in one model or tooth and an iron element in another to achieve magnetic attraction. Magnetic attraction allows for better positioning and engagement of the removable tooth during installation, reducing the risk of it falling out. The elastic element (such as a rubber band) connects the upper or lower jaw to the removable tooth, preventing it from falling out. After marking, the elastic element's restorative deformation allows the removable tooth to automatically return to its original position.

[0038] When using dental models to teach or demonstrate teeth cleaning, the operator often needs to hold the dental model with one hand. If the other two hands are needed to perform operations (such as removing loose teeth for marking), assistance from other personnel is required. This is especially true when the operator is on the podium. If someone frequently needs to walk around the podium to assist, it will affect the teaching process.

[0039] Therefore, in order to overcome the above problems, such as Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the dental cleaning teaching aid assembly further includes a support frame 300, which is detachably connected to the bottom of the mandibular model.

[0040] The support frame 300 includes a mounting platform 301 and a support leg 303. The mounting platform 301 is rotatably mounted on the upper part of the support leg 303. The bottom of the mandibular model is detachably connected to the mounting platform. The detachable model may have a mounting bolt 302 on the mounting platform 301 and a threaded hole matching the mounting bolt on the bottom of the mandibular model.

[0041] The aforementioned technical features support the dental model via a support frame, freeing up one of the operator's hands when holding the dental model, facilitating other operations and eliminating the need for additional personnel assistance. In use, the lower jaw is connected to the mounting platform via a threaded connection, and the mounting platform is supported by support legs for easy display. The mounting platform is connected to the upper part of the support legs via a ball joint connection, allowing for changes in the position of the mounting platform for better display.

[0042] For example, the supporting leg is a tripod (such as...). Figure 2 and Figure 3 (as shown) or a support rod with clip 304 (such as Figure 4 As shown, the tripod is suitable for use on flat surfaces with a large surface area, while the support rod with clips is suitable for situations where desktop space is limited. The support rod can be fixed by clamping it to the edge of the desktop.

[0043] To facilitate the storage of dental models and their supports together, reducing the risk of loss; such as Figures 5-10 As shown, in one embodiment, the dental cleaning teaching aid assembly further includes a storage box 202 with a lid 201. The storage box 202 is provided with several long partitions 2022 in the length direction and short partitions 2023 in the width direction. The long partitions and short partitions are arranged in a cross pattern, so that the storage cavity of the storage box is styled as multiple independent storage units 2021.

[0044] The tooth model 100 and the support frame 300 are respectively placed in different storage units via pads 600.

[0045] The inner wall of the storage box is provided with a groove 2024 for installing short partitions, and several mounting slots 2026 for adjusting the installation position of long partitions are provided on the short partitions; the short partitions are provided with a gripping part 2025, which is a through groove, so that the operator can easily install and remove the short partitions.

[0046] The above-mentioned technical features enable the overall storage of dental models and support frames. The storage box is divided into multiple independent storage units by partitions to facilitate the classification and placement of tools. The bottom of each storage unit is provided with a pad for protecting the placed tools. The pad has a cavity with the same shape as the tool to protect and fix the tool, reducing the possibility of the tool swinging and colliding when the storage box is moved.

[0047] To facilitate the operator's carrying of all tools and cleaning evaluation work during teaching or demonstrations, in one embodiment, dental cleaning tools 500 and marking tools 400 are placed in the remaining storage units of the storage box. The dental cleaning tools 500 include toothbrushes 503, dental floss 501, and interdental brushes 502, etc. The marking tools are a red marker and a cleaning cloth 401.

[0048] For ease of observation, in one embodiment, tooth 11 1031 or / and tooth 21 1032 in the maxillary model are transparent teeth (e.g., Figure 11 As shown in the image), the two upper incisors are transparent. A light source 701 is placed between the upper and lower jaw models, such as... Figure 11 As shown, the maxillary and mandibular models are separate. Turning on the switch activates the central light source for observation. This light source can be a light-emitting diode embedded in the cavity of the maxillary and / or mandibular models. The power supply 702 can be a dry cell battery or a button battery embedded within the model. The switch 703 can be a limit switch or a regular on / off switch. When the switch is a limit switch, the maxillary and mandibular models are in the open state, and the switch is on, activating the light source. If they are in the closed state, the switch is off. When the switch is a regular on / off switch, it is installed inside the cavity of the maxillary and / or mandibular models or in a location that does not interfere with observation and cleaning demonstrations, and can be manually turned on or off.

[0049] The aforementioned technical features enable the carrying of all tools that aid in teaching teeth cleaning through a storage box. These cleaning tools facilitate the teaching and evaluation of teeth cleaning. In use, a marking tool (preferably a red marker) is used to mark the target area of ​​the movable teeth (such as the side of the interdental space), and then the target area is cleaned with dental floss, a toothbrush, or an interdental brush. Throughout the process, the teacher or observer can evaluate the operator's entire cleaning process and effectiveness through the transparent teeth, as the markings can be removed using the aforementioned teeth cleaning tools.

[0050] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
