Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of dental medical devices, specifically relating to a universal rubber dam device for deciduous molars. Background Technology

[0002] Rubber dams are commonly used isolation tools in dental treatment, often used in dental treatments such as caries and root canal treatment. They are used to isolate the affected tooth from other teeth to prevent other teeth from affecting the procedure. They also isolate the affected tooth from the oral cavity to prevent residual tooth debris, water stains, and blood stains from entering the oral cavity during treatment. A typical rubber dam device includes a dam cloth, a face bow, and a fixing clip. The dam cloth is first punched with holes corresponding to the position of the affected tooth using a pre-made punching indicator card with the tooth position. After punching the holes, the dam cloth is fitted onto the affected tooth. The fixing clip is then installed to fix the dam cloth and the tooth. Finally, the face bow is installed at the edge of the dam cloth to complete the isolation.

[0003] Tooth decay in children often occurs on the proximal surfaces of molars. Currently, the conventional rubber dam used to treat tooth decay in children is the aforementioned rubber dam. However, due to the location of the affected tooth, drilling one hole is not effective in treating the tooth decay. Usually, two holes are needed to isolate both molars. However, the process of drilling and fixing the dam is cumbersome. Therefore, the preparation time for treating tooth decay in children using conventional dam is extremely long. Since children have low tolerance, the excessive preparation time will exacerbate their lack of cooperation in treatment and increase the difficulty of treatment. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model proposes a universal rubber dam device for deciduous molars, including a dam cloth with preset holes. The position of the preset holes corresponds to the position of the teeth, and the shape of the preset holes corresponds to the shape of two adjacent molars.

[0005] A fastener is provided at the preset hole. The fastener includes a fixing line that passes through the gap between the two molars and is fixed to the barrier cloth.

[0006] Pre-drilling saves drilling time, and fasteners are used instead of clamps to secure the diaphragm, saving time on clamp installation and significantly shortening preparation time. This makes the treatment process faster and avoids the problem of children losing patience due to excessively long treatment times.

[0007] The preset holes achieve full coverage of the four molar regions by reversing and rotating the barrier cloth, thus solving the problem of matching the position of the preset holes with the affected teeth during use.

[0008] Furthermore, the pre-set hole is gourd-shaped. Because the posterior teeth are larger than the anterior teeth, the pre-set hole is larger at the back and smaller at the front, with a convex edge in the middle corresponding to the position of the interdental space.

[0009] Furthermore, the fastener also includes a spring clamp, which is set around the edge of the preset hole and connected to the spring clamp at the gap between the fixing line and the molar.

[0010] The elastic band is used to reduce the area of ​​the preset hole so that the edge of the preset hole fits tightly against the gum. The diaphragm itself is elastic. Because there is disease on the proximal surface of the affected tooth, there is often a large interdental space. The fixation of the fixing line further pulls the diaphragm to wrap the interdental space of the molar, increasing the seal between the affected tooth and the oral cavity.

[0011] Furthermore, a fixing block is connected to one end of the fixing line, and a fixing ring is provided on the barrier cloth, with the fixing block and fixing ring connected together.

[0012] The fixing block is spherical, and its maximum diameter is slightly larger than that of the fixing ring. Because the fixing ring is elastic, the operator applies force to pass the fixing block through the fixing ring during fixing. After the fixing block passes through the fixing ring, the fixing ring retracts and locks the fixing block in place. The rear end of the fixing block and the fixing ring abut against each other to achieve fixation.

[0013] The fixing ring is a rubber strip fixed to the diaphragm at both ends, with the rubber strip and the diaphragm surface forming an annular hole. This hole is used to block the horizontally placed fixing block after it passes through. The fixing ring is placed near the affected tooth and can be matched with the fixing block. Fixing rings are provided on both sides of the diaphragm so that when the diaphragm is reversed to match the affected tooth, the fixing rings can fix the fixing line. The rubber strip on the non-applicable side fits into the diaphragm surface with minimal space and will not cause any negative experience for the patient.

[0014] Furthermore, the edge of the barrier is connected to a face bow, the shape of which is adapted to the outer edge of the barrier, and the area of ​​the face bow is larger than the area of ​​the oral cavity.

[0015] The face bow can be detached and connected to the barrier, or it can be integrated with the barrier.

[0016] The facebow is square-shaped and is used to connect and support the dam. When the facebow and the dam are detachably connected, the facebow has multiple protruding rods on its outer side. The edge of the dam is stretched and hung on the protruding rods. Due to the elasticity, the dam is fixed. Multiple protruding rods work together to fix the dam, so that the dam is in a stretched state to facilitate operation on the affected tooth.

[0017] Furthermore, the face bow is provided with an entrance portion that extends perpendicularly into the mouth from the barrier cloth, and a mouth support is connected to one end of the entrance portion inside the mouth.

[0018] Mouth openers can support teeth, save patients' energy when the mouth is kept open for a long time, and prevent children from experiencing increased negative emotions due to discomfort from opening their mouths.

[0019] The mouth opener of the facebow only needs to be set on one side. The mouth opener is placed on the opposite side of the affected tooth. That is, if the affected tooth is on the right side, the mouth opener is used on the left side.

[0020] Furthermore, the mouth opener includes a main body with occlusal grooves on both sides, which abut against the upper and lower molars respectively, and the distance between the two occlusal grooves gradually increases with the direction of the mouth.

[0021] Based on the main body's usage state, its longitudinal section is trapezoidal or triangular in shape to better fit the natural angle of the mouth opening and closing.

[0022] Furthermore, the inlet includes a bent rod, one end of which is connected to the face arch, the middle of which is bent to enter the oral cavity, and the other end of which is connected to a mouth splinter.

[0023] Alternatively, the inlet section includes two connecting rods, which are respectively connected to an upper occlusal member and a lower occlusal member. The upper occlusal member is set to conform to the direction of the upper teeth, and the lower occlusal member is set to conform to the direction of the lower teeth. The upper occlusal member and the lower occlusal member are respectively provided with occlusal grooves, which fit with the upper and lower teeth.

[0024] Furthermore, an isolation sleeve is provided on the outer surface of the entrance. The isolation sleeve can reduce friction between the mouth and the entrance and maintain the hygiene of the entrance. After use, discarding the isolation sleeve is more conducive to subsequent disinfection and sterilization.

[0025] When the facebow and barrier are connected as a single unit, no entrance or support is provided. The fasteners are directly fixed to the affected tooth, and the facebow is supported by the patient's cheek. This setup further shortens the preparation time before treatment. However, since the patient's mouth is kept open for a long time, it increases the effort required by the patient, and the longer treatment time will reduce the patient's experience.

[0026] Furthermore, a drainage strip is provided near the preset hole of the barrier cloth, and the drainage strip extends from the preset hole towards the center of the barrier cloth; the device for grinding teeth during the grinding process is equipped with both a flushing port and a suction port. Most of the water and impurities are sucked away by the suction port, and the remaining water stains flow into the barrier cloth away from the affected tooth through the drainage strip, so as to avoid affecting the affected tooth.

[0027] Furthermore, both sides of the barrier are matte. The smooth side reflects light during teeth grinding, which can affect vision, while the matte side avoids this effect.

[0028] Furthermore, the barrier can be decorated with cartoon patterns to attract children's interest and increase their cooperation.

[0029] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0030] (1) This utility model saves drilling time and shortens fixing time, greatly reduces the preparation time before treatment, improves treatment efficiency, reduces the chance of children not cooperating in the later stage of treatment, and reduces the difficulty of treatment.

[0031] (2) The fastener of this utility model has a simple fixing method, is easy to operate, reduces the usage requirements, and improves the convenience of doctors to use.

[0032] (3) The present invention is equipped with a mouth support device, which can help children support the opening and closing of their mouths, so that children do not need to keep opening their mouths on their own during the treatment process, thereby improving the children's experience during treatment and having a certain calming effect.

[0045] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a universal rubber dam device for deciduous molars includes a dam cloth 1 with a preset hole 11. The position of the preset hole 11 corresponds to the position of the tooth, and the shape of the preset hole 11 corresponds to the shape of two adjacent molars.

[0046] A fastener 3 is provided at the preset hole 11. The fastener 3 includes a fixing line 31, which passes through the gap between the two molars and is fixed to the barrier cloth 1.

[0047] By pre-drilling holes, drilling time is saved. Fastener 3 is used instead of the traditional fixing clip to fix the barrier cloth 1, saving the time of installing the fastener and greatly shortening the preparation time in the early stage, making the treatment process faster and avoiding the problem of children losing patience due to excessive treatment time.

[0048] The preset hole 11 can fully cover the four areas of the molar by reversing and rotating the barrier cloth 1, thus solving the problem of matching the position of the preset hole 11 with the affected tooth when it is used.

[0049] Furthermore, the pre-set hole 11 is gourd-shaped. Because the posterior teeth are larger than the anterior teeth, the pre-set hole 11 is larger at the back and smaller at the front, with a convex edge in the middle corresponding to the position of the interdental space.

[0050] In one embodiment, the fastener 3 further includes an elastic band 34, which is arranged around the edge of the preset hole 11, and the fixing line 31 is connected to the elastic band 34 at the gap of the molar.

[0051] The elastic band 34 is used to reduce the area of ​​the preset hole 11 so that the edge of the preset hole 11 is close to the gum. The barrier cloth 1 itself is also elastic. The fixing line 31 further pulls the barrier cloth 1 to wrap the molar interdental space, increasing the seal between the affected tooth and the oral cavity.

[0052] In one embodiment, one end of the fixing line 31 is connected to a fixing block 32, and a fixing ring 33 is provided on the barrier cloth 1. The fixing block 32 passes through the gap between the molars and is connected to the fixing ring 33.

[0053] The fixing block 32 is spherical, and the maximum diameter of the fixing block 32 is slightly larger than the diameter of the fixing ring 33. Since the fixing ring 33 is elastic, when fixing, the operator applies force to make the fixing block 32 pass through the fixing ring 33. After the fixing block 32 passes through the fixing ring 33, the fixing ring 33 retracts and locks the fixing block 32. The rear end of the fixing block 32 and the fixing ring 33 abut against each other to achieve fixation.

[0054] The fixing ring 33 is a rubber strip fixed to the diaphragm 1 at both ends, which is set on the surface of the diaphragm 1. The rubber strip and the surface of the diaphragm 1 form an annular hole, which is used to block the horizontally placed fixing block 32 after it is passed through. The fixing ring 33 is set near the affected tooth and can cooperate with the fixing block 32. The diaphragm 1 has fixing rings 33 on both sides so that when the diaphragm 1 is reversed to cooperate with the affected tooth, the fixing rings 33 can fix the fixing line 31. The rubber strip on the non-applicable side is in close contact with the surface of the diaphragm 1, and occupies very little space and will not have a negative experience for the patient.

[0055] In one embodiment, the edge of the barrier 1 is detachably connected to a face bow 2, the shape of which is adapted to the outer edge of the barrier 1, and the area of ​​the face bow 2 is larger than the area of ​​the oral cavity.

[0056] The facebow 2 is square-shaped and is used to connect and support the dam 1. The facebow 2 has multiple protruding rods 21 on its outer side. After the edge of the dam 1 is stretched, it is hung on the protruding rods 21. Due to the elasticity, the dam 1 is fixed. The multiple protruding rods 21 work together to fix the dam 1, so that the dam 1 is in a stretched state to facilitate operation on the affected tooth.

[0057] In one embodiment, the face bow 2 is provided with an inlet 22, which extends perpendicularly to the barrier 1 into the mouth, and a mouth support 23 is connected to one end of the inlet 22 inside the mouth.

[0058] The mouth opener 23 can support the teeth, saving the patient's energy when the mouth is kept open for a long time, and avoiding the negative emotions aggravated by the discomfort of opening the mouth in children.

[0059] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the mouth opener 23 includes a main body, and occlusal grooves 231 are provided on both sides of the main body. The occlusal grooves 231 respectively abut against the upper and lower molars, and the distance between the two occlusal grooves 231 gradually increases with the direction of the oral cavity.

[0060] Based on the main body's usage state, its longitudinal section is trapezoidal or triangular in shape to better fit the natural angle of the mouth opening and closing.

[0061] Furthermore, the entrance portion 22 includes a bent rod, one end of which is connected to the face bow 2, the middle of which is bent to enter the oral cavity, and the other end of which is connected to the mouth splinter 23.

[0062] In another embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the entrance portion 22 includes two connecting rods, which are respectively connected to an upper occlusal member 24 and a lower occlusal member 25. The upper occlusal member 24 is set to conform to the direction of the upper teeth, and the lower occlusal member 25 is set to conform to the direction of the lower teeth. The upper occlusal member 24 and the lower occlusal member 25 are respectively provided with occlusal grooves 231, which fit with the upper and lower incisors.

[0063] In one embodiment, an isolation sleeve is provided on the outer surface of the entrance 22. The isolation sleeve can reduce the friction between the oral cavity and the entrance 22 and maintain the hygiene of the entrance 22. After use, discarding the isolation sleeve is more conducive to subsequent disinfection and sterilization.

[0064] In one embodiment, a drainage strip is provided at a position near the preset hole 11 on the barrier 1, and the drainage strip extends from the preset hole 11 toward the center of the barrier 1; the device for grinding teeth during the grinding process is provided with both a flushing port and a suction port. Most of the water and impurities are sucked away by the suction port, and the remaining water stains flow into the barrier 1 away from the affected tooth through the drainage strip, so as to avoid affecting the affected tooth.

[0065] In one embodiment, both sides of the barrier 1 are matte surfaces. The smooth surface reflects light during the teeth grinding process, which can affect the line of sight, while the matte surface can avoid the impact on the line of sight.

[0066] In one embodiment, the barrier 1 may have cartoon patterns to attract children's interest and increase their cooperation.

[0067] Taking the affected tooth in the lower left dental region as an example, with the doctor's left hand as the left side, place the mouth opener 23 on the right side of the teeth, with the right teeth biting into the occlusal groove 231. Rotate the barrier cloth 1 to the position corresponding to the pre-set hole 11 and the dental region, and widen the pre-set hole 11 so that it fits over the affected tooth. The elastic band 34 locks the barrier cloth 1 at the edge of the pre-set hole 11 to the roots of the two affected teeth. With the direction facing outwards as the front and the direction facing inwards as the back, pull one of the fixing ropes so that the first fixing block 32 passes through the interdental space and is stretched forward around the first affected tooth. At this time, the barrier cloth 1 at the interdental space is stretched. The first fixing ring 33 is set at the position of the barrier cloth 1 in front of the affected tooth on the lingual side. After the fixing block 32 passes through the fixing ring 33, it is locked. Pull the other fixing rope. The rope allows the second fixing block 32 to pass through the interdental space and be stretched backward around the second affected tooth, intersecting with the first fixing rope. The second fixing ring 33 is located behind the second affected tooth, close to the buccal side. The second fixing block 32 and the second fixing ring 33 are fixed. The edge of the diaphragm 1 is passed through the inside of the facebow 2 and folded outward to hang on the outer protruding rod 21, so that the diaphragm 1 is spread open outside the mouth. At this time, the shape of the diaphragm 1 is a bowl shape that coincides with the cavity. Only the affected tooth is exposed, and the rest of the oral cavity structure is blocked inside the mouth by the diaphragm 1 to facilitate the doctor's operation. The doctor holds a dental instrument to grind the tooth. The instrument also has the function of flushing and absorbing water. The slight residual water stains also enter the bottom of the diaphragm 1 through the guide strip. After the operation is completed, the fixing block 32 is removed, and the facebow 2 and the diaphragm 1 are taken out.
