Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to disposable oral mirrors. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, disposable oral mirrors used in dentistry only have conventional traction and reflection functions. Some disposable oral mirrors have a paddle-like structure in the handle that can be used for mixing oral cement materials.
[0003] In dentistry, root canal treatments are frequently performed, and a root canal measuring table is used to measure the length of gutta-percha points or dental files.
[0004] Furthermore, due to manufacturing processes, gutta-percha points may not have consistent taper sizes. However, standardized treatment requires that the taper for apical preparation and filling be identical. There are separate gutta-percha point trimmers available on the market to measure and trim the points to ensure consistent taper. Simply insert the tip into the hole for the desired taper and trim off any excess length to obtain the correct taper.
[0005] Instruments such as gutta-percha trimmers wear out over time, resulting in inconsistent taper and length of the trimmed gutta-percha points. Furthermore, each step requires different instruments, which hinders medical staff from quickly commencing treatment. Utility Model Content
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a disposable mouth mirror to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial option or create conditions.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A disposable mouth mirror includes a mouth mirror structure 100, a handle 200, and a mixing structure 300, which are sequentially and fixedly connected. The entire disposable mouth mirror is mostly made of medical-grade plastic components.
[0030] Specifically, the mouth mirror structure 100 is designed as a disc-shaped structure, consisting of a plastic base with a circular reflective lens embedded in it. Designing the mouth mirror structure 100 as a disc-shaped structure avoids sharp corners colliding with the patient's oral cavity, thereby reducing patient discomfort.
[0031] The handle 200 is a long handle-shaped component, and the front end of the handle 200 is fixedly connected to the mouth mirror structure 100. The handle 200 and the mouth mirror structure 100 are arranged at an obtuse angle. In this embodiment, the tilt angle of the handle 200 relative to the mouth mirror structure 100 is approximately 120 degrees.
[0032] The handle 200 has a trimming plane, which facilitates the use of a blade to trim the gutta-percha points by medical personnel. The handle 200 has a polygonal cross-section, with the trimming plane located on one side of the handle 200. This polygonal structure makes the handle 200 easier to grip. Compared to a circular cross-section handle 200, the polygonal cross-section makes it less prone to slippage and rotation during use, thus improving the ease of operation for medical personnel.
[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, the cross-section of the handle 200 is a regular hexagonal structure. In other embodiments, the cross-section of the handle 200 can be set to a pentagonal, quadrilateral, or other structures, or it can be set to a circular or elliptical structure. Those skilled in the art can select the cross-sectional shape of the handle 200 according to actual needs.
[0034] The handle 200 has a taper inspection hole 210, the end opening of which is located on the trimming plane. Multiple taper inspection holes 210 are provided, and they are arranged at equal intervals along the length of the handle 200. The taper of each taper inspection hole 210 is different, and the taper increases sequentially in the direction away from the mouth mirror structure 100.
[0035] A taper mark 220 is provided on the side of the taper inspection hole 210. The taper mark 220 is used to indicate the corresponding taper. Specifically, in this embodiment, the taper mark 220 is located below the corresponding taper inspection hole 210. In other embodiments, the taper mark 220 can also be located above, to the left or to the right of the corresponding taper inspection hole 210. Those skilled in the art can select the position of the taper mark 220 according to actual needs.
[0036] When using this disposable mouth mirror, medical staff insert the gutta-percha point into the hole with the required taper, and then trim off the excess length with a blade to obtain the desired gutta-percha point.
[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the circumferential surface of the grip 200 is provided with anti-slip texture. The anti-slip texture on the circumferential surface of the grip 200 can reduce the probability of medical staff slipping when using this disposable mouth mirror, so as to make it more convenient for medical staff to operate.
[0038] The mixing structure 300 is fixedly connected to the end of the handle 200, and is used to mix dental filling materials. The thickness of the mixing structure 300 is less than the thickness of the handle 200. The mixing structure 300 has a mixing part and a connecting part, with the mixing part located on the side of the connecting part away from the handle 200. The width of the mixing part gradually decreases towards the direction away from the handle 200, and the end of the mixing part away from the handle 200 has a flat-head design to allow for better mixing of the dental filling material (cement). The width of the connecting part gradually decreases towards the direction closer to the handle 200 to make the transition between the mixing structure 300 and the handle 200 more natural.
[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the mixing structure 300 is provided with a measuring scale 310. The "0" mark of the measuring scale 310 coincides with the end of the mixing part, leaving no blank space, which makes it more convenient to measure the length of the gutta-percha point and the root canal file.
[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, the mixing unit is also provided with a placement groove 320. The placement groove 320 is located next to the measuring scale 310. When measuring the gutta-percha point or root canal file, the medical staff places the gutta-percha point or root canal file in the placement groove 320. The placement groove 320 can initially fix the gutta-percha point or root canal file to stabilize the placement of the gutta-percha point or root canal file, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the length measurement.
[0041] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
