Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of root canal treatment technology, specifically a storage box for miniature instruments used in dental pulp treatment. Background Technology

[0002] The dental pulp is the soft tissue located in the cavity inside the tooth (pulp cavity). It contains blood vessels, nerves, lymphatic vessels, and connective tissue. Its main functions are to provide nutrition to the tooth, sense stimuli, and participate in the repair of dentin. When the dental pulp is damaged due to caries, trauma, or infection, it may lead to pulpitis or pulp necrosis, requiring intervention such as root canal treatment. The dental pulp tissue is located in the pulp cavity inside the tooth. The shape of the pulp cavity is roughly similar to that of the tooth body. The pulp cavity in the crown is larger and called the pulp chamber, while the pulp cavity in the root is smaller and called the root canal. There is a small opening at the root apex called the apical foramen. The dental pulp tissue mainly contains nerves, blood vessels, lymphatics, and connective tissue, as well as odontoblasts arranged around the pulp, whose function is to produce dentin. Due to different stimuli from pathogens and differences in the body's resistance, the dental pulp undergoes different pathological changes, which manifest as a series of different symptoms and signs clinically. If the pulp congestion persists for a long time, it will develop into acute pulpitis.

[0003] Various miniature instruments are needed in root canal treatment. Dental instruments are generally small, such as dental grinding tools, and are mounted on the instrument head. They are sold and transported in special boxes, and when used in treatment, they are taken out of the storage box and mounted on the instrument head.

[0004] However, existing devices still have shortcomings. They are inconvenient to retrieve. The storage box usually has a shock-absorbing cushioning pad with grooves. The micro-instruments are placed in the grooves. When retrieving them, it is difficult to remove them because the instruments are stuck in the grooves and are relatively small. In addition, most existing storage boxes are single-layer structures, which do not make good use of space and can hold more micro-instruments. Therefore, we propose a storage box for micro-instruments for endodontic treatment to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a storage box for miniature instruments used in dental endodontic treatment, in order to solve the problems of inconvenience in handling and insufficient space optimization of existing devices mentioned in the background art.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 An embodiment of this utility model provides a micro-instrument storage box for dental endodontic treatment, comprising a micro-instrument storage box body 1, a storage mechanism 2 provided on the surface of the micro-instrument storage box body 1, the storage mechanism 2 including a side cover 210, the side cover 210 being hinged to the surface of the micro-instrument storage box body 1, a support foot 220 fixed at the bottom end of the side cover 210, a buckle 230 fixed at the top end of the side cover 210, a fixing plate 240 fixed inside the micro-instrument storage box body 1, a buffer pad 250 inserted inside the micro-instrument storage box body 1, and a fixing block 260 fixed inside the micro-instrument storage box body 1;

[0025] Two sets of side covers 210 are provided, and the two sets of side covers 210 are hinged to both sides of the micro-instrument storage box body 1, so that both sides of the micro-instrument storage box body 1 can be opened for easy access to micro-instruments. Two sets of support feet 220 are fixed to the bottom of the side covers 210, and rubber pads are fixed to the bottom of the support feet 220. Since the hinge rod between the micro-instrument storage box body 1 and the side covers 210 is at the bottom, the micro-instrument storage box body 1 will not be stable when placed. The setting of the support feet 220 provides space for the hinge rod, making the micro-instrument storage box body 1 more stable when placed. The setting of the rubber pads increases the friction between the support feet 220 and the contact surface, improving the stability of the device.

[0026] The buckle 230 is made of elastic plastic. The buckle 230 is fixed to the top of the side cover 210 and the top of the miniature instrument storage box body 1 respectively, which facilitates the fixing of the side cover 210 and the miniature instrument storage box body 1, making it easier to fix the side cover 210 and the miniature instrument storage box body 1, and also easier to separate them.

[0027] The fixing plate 240 is fixed inside the miniature instrument storage box body 1. Two sets of buffer pads 250 are provided. The buffer pads 250 are inserted inside the miniature instrument storage box body 1 to increase the space utilization of the device and enable the device to hold more medical instruments. The buffer pads 250 have equally spaced strip grooves inside. The buffer pads 250 are made of rubber. Miniature instruments can be placed in the strip grooves. The material of the buffer pads 250 plays a cushioning role, making the device better protected when stored.

[0028] The fixing block 260 is fixed inside the body 1 of the micro-instrument storage box. The inside of the buffer pad 250 is provided with a groove that matches the fixing block 260. The fixing block 260 is inserted into the inside of the buffer pad 250 so that the micro-instrument will not pull the buffer pad 250 when it is pulled out, thus shifting the buffer pad 250 and keeping it inside the body 1 of the micro-instrument storage box. The fixing block 260 fixes and limits the buffer pad 250.

[0029] Working principle: When the device is working, the micro-instrument is inserted into the strip groove of the buffer pad 250, so that the head of the micro-instrument protrudes from the surface of the buffer pad 250. When taking it out, the side cover 210 is opened, and then the required micro-instrument can be pulled out directly. The side cover 210 makes it more convenient to take out the micro-instrument. At the same time, the double-layer buffer pad 250 can improve space utilization. Since the side cover 210 is on the side of the micro-instrument storage box body 1, the double-layer buffer pad 250 has no interference with taking out the micro-instrument. While improving space utilization, it also makes taking out more convenient. The above is the complete working principle of this utility model.

[0030] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
