Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of oral medical device technology, and in particular to a protective structure for wisdom tooth extraction. Background Technology

[0002] Wisdom teeth, as the last teeth to erupt in the human mouth, are often restricted in their eruption location and space, making them prone to impaction and ectopic eruption. This can lead to a series of oral problems, such as pericoronitis, caries of adjacent teeth, and crowding. Therefore, wisdom tooth extraction is a common surgical procedure in clinical dentistry. During wisdom tooth extraction, the procedure involves the use of various instruments such as dental drills, dental elevators, and extraction forceps. Furthermore, the special location of wisdom teeth and their close relationship with surrounding important structures make the surgical process highly susceptible to damage to surrounding tissues.

[0003] Currently, rubber dams are used for protection in related technologies. Rubber dams isolate the extraction area from other parts of the oral cavity, reducing the spread of blood, saliva, and debris, and helping to maintain a clear surgical field, thus providing isolation and protection for wisdom tooth extraction to a certain extent. However, in practical application, due to the design and installation method of rubber dams, their ability to block the tongue is significantly flawed, failing to effectively restrict the tongue's range of motion. During wisdom tooth extraction, patients may unconsciously move their tongues due to tension, pain, or other factors, or the tongue may move when stimulated by external stimuli. Since the rubber dam cannot reliably block and fix the tongue, it is easy for the tongue to enter the surgical area, increasing the risk of injury to the tongue from instruments such as dental drills and elevators. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application aims to address at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, one objective of this application is to provide a protective structure for wisdom tooth extraction, aiming to solve the problem that existing protective structures for wisdom tooth extraction surgery cannot effectively protect the tongue.

[0005] This application proposes a protective structure for wisdom tooth extraction, the protective structure including a protective baffle, a first fixing part and a second fixing part; the protective baffle is arc-shaped; the first fixing part and the second fixing part are respectively disposed at both ends of the protective baffle; wherein, the first fixing part is adapted to connect to the gingiva behind the wisdom tooth, and the second fixing part is adapted to connect to any tooth.

[0006] The protective structure of this application can be stably and reliably fixed in the oral cavity, isolating the extraction area from other parts of the mouth. It restricts the range of tongue movement, preventing the tongue from entering the surgical area, thus significantly reducing the risk of accidental tongue injury during surgery and providing effective protection for the tongue and surrounding tissues. Simultaneously, it effectively prevents oral mucus from entering the surgical area, providing a safer surgical environment for the patient. The overall structural design of this application is simple and clear, with all components working collaboratively. This not only improves the protective effect but also reduces the complexity of the surgical procedure. Compared to existing rubber dam isolation technology, the protective structure of this application better meets the actual needs of wisdom tooth extraction surgery, providing a superior solution for clinical application.

[0024] 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 are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0025] The following is for reference. Figures 1-3 This application describes a protective structure for wisdom tooth extraction according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0026] This application proposes a protective structure for wisdom tooth extraction. The protective structure includes a protective baffle 1, a first fixing part 4, and a second fixing part 6. The protective baffle 1 is arc-shaped. The first fixing part 4 and the second fixing part 6 are respectively disposed at both ends of the protective baffle 1. The first fixing part 4 is adapted to connect to the gingiva behind the wisdom tooth, and the second fixing part 6 is adapted to connect to any tooth.

[0027] According to the protective structure of this application, the protective baffle 1 is arc-shaped, with the arched direction facing the tongue during use. This forms an isolated surgical area around the wisdom tooth to be extracted, separating the tongue's range of motion from the extraction area and preventing the tongue from entering the surgical area. This significantly reduces the risk of accidental tongue injury during surgery and provides effective protection for the tongue. Furthermore, by connecting the first fixing part 4 to the gingiva behind the wisdom tooth and the second fixing part 6 to any normal tooth, the protective structure can be fixed in position within the oral cavity using the internal tissue structure, ensuring a stable and reliable protective effect during the extraction procedure.

[0028] The protective structure of this application can be stably and reliably fixed in the oral cavity, isolating the extraction area from other parts of the mouth. It restricts the range of tongue movement, preventing the tongue from entering the surgical area, thus significantly reducing the risk of accidental tongue injury during surgery and providing effective protection for the tongue and surrounding tissues. Simultaneously, it effectively prevents oral mucus from entering the surgical area, providing a safer surgical environment for the patient. The overall structural design of this application is simple and clear, with all components working collaboratively. This not only improves the protective effect but also reduces the complexity of the surgical procedure. Compared to traditional rubber dam isolation technology, the protective structure of this application better meets the actual needs of wisdom tooth extraction surgery, providing a superior solution for clinical application.

[0029] According to some embodiments of this application, a bending rib 3 is provided inside the protective baffle 1. The bending rib 3 is adapted to deform under external force to adjust the distance between the two ends of the protective baffle 1. In this embodiment, the bending rib 3 inside the protective baffle 1 not only enhances the strength and stability of the protective baffle 1, but also allows for deformation treatment of the protective baffle 1 through the bending deformation of the bending rib 3. This allows for flexible adjustment of the distance between the two ends of the protective baffle 1 according to actual needs, better adapting to the oral cavity structure morphology of different patients and ensuring that the protective structure remains stable and reliable throughout the operation. Furthermore, the shape of the bending rib 3 matches the protective baffle 1 and is evenly distributed along the length direction of the protective baffle 1, ensuring that the protective baffle 1 can evenly distribute stress when subjected to force, avoiding local deformation. The bending rib 3 can be manually bent to adjust its shape.

[0030] According to some embodiments of this application, the first fixing part 4 is adapted to fit against the gingiva, and a second rubber pad 5 is provided on the side of the first fixing part 4 facing the gingiva. In this embodiment, when the protective structure is in use, the second rubber pad 5 provided on one side of the first fixing part 4 fits tightly against the gingiva, which can effectively protect the gingiva and support the protective baffle 1. In some embodiments, the thickness of the second rubber pad 5 is 1mm to 2mm.

[0031] According to some embodiments of this application, the second fixing part 6 includes a mounting base 61 and an insert base 62. The mounting base 61 is connected to the protective baffle 1; the insert base 62 is disposed on the mounting base 61 and is engaged with the mounting base 61; wherein, a first clamping arm 63 is formed on the mounting base 61, and a second clamping arm 64 is disposed on the insert base 62, and at least one of the first clamping arm 63 and the second clamping arm 64 is an elastic sheet. In this embodiment, the clamping action is achieved by the first clamping arm 63 and the second clamping arm 64, flexibly clamping the second fixing part 6 onto any tooth surface far from the wisdom tooth, thereby fixing the position of the entire protective structure and ensuring that the protective baffle 1 will not move during the operation, achieving a stable fixing effect of the protective structure in the oral cavity. The fact that at least one of the first clamping arm 63 and the second clamping arm 64 is an elastic sheet provides good elasticity and allows for flexible clamping action.

[0032] In some embodiments, the mounting base 61 is L-shaped, with a portion comprising a first clamping arm 63; the second clamping arm 64 is a resilient metal sheet made of stainless steel or titanium alloy, possessing good elasticity and corrosion resistance, and is fixed to the insert 62 by welding or riveting. The metal sheet has a thickness of 0.2mm to 0.5mm, ensuring both the strength and toughness of the resilient sheet while also providing good elastic recovery capability.

[0033] In the above embodiment, the first fixing part 4 mainly serves to support the protective baffle 1, and the second fixing part 6 serves to fix the position of the protective baffle 1; the first fixing part 4 and the second fixing part 6 cooperate to make the two ends of the protective baffle 1 bear force, so as to achieve stable and reliable fixing of the protective baffle 1.

[0034] According to some embodiments of this application, a sponge pad 65 is provided on the opposite side of the first clamping arm 63 and the second clamping arm 64. In this embodiment, the sponge pad 65 can buffer the clamping force and avoid pressure damage to the teeth and gums. The sponge pad 65 is 1mm to 2mm thick, made of medical-grade sponge material, and has good water absorption and softness, improving patient comfort.

[0035] According to some embodiments of this application, the second fixing part 6 is constructed as a rubber barrier clamp. In this embodiment, the second fixing part 6 is constructed as a rubber barrier clamp, which specifically includes a clamping part and a connecting part. The clamping part is used to clamp and fix the teeth, and the connecting part is used to connect with the protective baffle 1, specifically by screws, clips, or other connection methods. This embodiment makes the protective baffle 1 compatible with existing rubber barrier technology, facilitates the acquisition of structural parts, saves costs, and enhances the overall protective effect.

[0036] According to some embodiments of this application, a first rubber pad 2 is provided on each side of the protective baffle 1. In this embodiment, by providing the first rubber pad 2 on both sides of the protective baffle 1, the patient's upper and lower hard palates can be protected. In some embodiments, the two first rubber pads 2 are symmetrically distributed about the protective baffle 1, and their thickness is 1mm to 2mm.

[0037] In the above embodiments, the first rubber pad 2 and the second rubber pad 5 are made of medical-grade silicone rubber material, which has good softness and elasticity, can provide sufficient cushioning effect, and will not cause pressure damage to oral tissues.

[0038] In some embodiments, the protective baffle 1 has a thickness of 3mm to 6mm and a height of 10mm to 30mm. The protective baffle 1 can be selected to fit the size of different patients' oral cavity, and its length should be able to cover the wisdom tooth area and the necessary operating space around it to ensure the isolation effect of the surgical area. The thickness of the first rubber pad 2 and the second rubber pad 5 is 1mm to 2mm, which ensures sufficient protection without affecting the design of the protective baffle 1 due to excessive thickness. In this embodiment, the optimized thickness and height ensure that the protective structure 1 can adapt to the oral cavity size of different patients, while providing sufficient protective space, enhancing the safety and ease of operation of the surgery.

[0039] According to some embodiments of this application, the surface of the protective baffle 1 is coated with an antibacterial coating. In this embodiment, by providing an antibacterial coating, the adhesion and reproduction of bacteria can be effectively reduced, the risk of infection during surgery can be lowered, and the safety and hygiene of the surgery can be further improved, providing more reliable protection for patients. The antibacterial coating can be made of silver ion antibacterial agents or nano-silver materials, possessing broad-spectrum antibacterial properties; the antibacterial coating can be uniformly applied to the surface of the protective baffle 1 by spraying or dipping, with a coating thickness of 0.05 mm to 0.1 mm.

[0040] According to some embodiments of this application, the protective baffle 1 is made of transparent polycarbonate or transparent polylactic acid material. In this embodiment, the protective baffle 1 has good biocompatibility and transparency, facilitating clear observation of the surgical area by the doctor during the operation.

[0041] According to some embodiments of this application, the first fixing part 4 and the second fixing part 6 are rotatably connected to the end of the protective baffle 1. In this embodiment, the first fixing part 4 and the second fixing part 6 can rotate relative to the protective baffle 1, thereby changing their contact direction and clamping direction to suit tooth extraction surgery of the left and right wisdom teeth.

[0042] The specific usage process of the protective structure in this application is as follows:

[0043] Before use, first select a protective baffle of appropriate size according to the patient's oral cavity size and wisdom tooth position;

[0044] Depending on the specific location of the surgical area, the protective baffle 1 is bent and adjusted by the bending rib 3 so that it can fit the patient's oral anatomical structure.

[0045] The second rubber pad 5 on the first fixing part 4 is tightly attached to the end of the dental arch to provide initial support for the protective baffle 1.

[0046] The second fixing part 6 is installed on the tooth away from the wisdom tooth. The elasticity of the elastic sheet and the cushioning effect of the sponge pad 65 ensure that the second fixing part 6 is firmly clamped on the tooth.

[0047] After the first fixing part 4 and the second fixing part 6 are installed, gently shake the protective baffle 1 to check whether it is firm, and ensure that the connection between the second fixing part 6 and the teeth is tight, and the first rubber pad 2 and the second rubber pad 5 are tightly fitted to the gums.

[0048] Under the protection of protective barrier 1, the surgical area is disinfected and the wisdom tooth extraction is performed.

[0049] When this application is used, the protective baffle 1 is installed and positioned through both ends to prevent the protective baffle 1 from shifting during the operation. The protective baffle 1 isolates the tongue from the wisdom tooth area, forming a clear surgical area. At the same time, it can significantly reduce the risk of the tongue being accidentally injured during the operation and effectively prevent oral mucus from entering the surgical area.
