Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oral medical device technology, and in particular to an auxiliary device for recording dental data. Background Technology

[0002] When all teeth are missing (i.e., edentulous jaw) or a large area of ​​teeth is missing, it can cause various problems for patients, such as chewing dysfunction, changes in facial appearance, and unclear speech. Therefore, it is necessary to restore the patient's oral cavity in a timely manner. For example, based on the patient's occlusal relationship and jaw position data, dentures can be implanted in the patient's oral cavity to restore the patient's oral cavity.

[0003] Digital scanning technology is a novel method for oral restoration in edentulous patients or patients with large areas of missing teeth. It first requires taking oral impressions and determining the occlusal relationship through patient trial fitting. Then, the oral impressions with the determined occlusal relationship are digitally scanned, and reverse registration and digital conversion are performed to obtain the digital jaw position relationship.

[0004] However, the above process has at least the following drawbacks: 1. Traditionally, determining a patient's occlusal relationship using oral impressions requires multiple observations and repeated extractions of oral impressions for adjustments, increasing labor costs and reducing work efficiency.

[0005] 2. Because it is necessary to repeatedly take oral impressions from the patient's mouth and make adjustments, the skill level of the operator is required to be high, which will affect the accuracy of the obtained occlusal relationship.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an auxiliary recording device for dental records to address the aforementioned shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide an auxiliary recording device for dental records, so as to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following solution: This utility model provides an auxiliary recording device for dental records, comprising a central jaw support plate, a lateral jaw support plate, and a lateral edge, wherein: The central jaw support plate includes a palatal contact surface and a tongue contact surface opposite to the palatal contact surface; The number of the side jaw support plates is at least two, and the two side jaw support plates are respectively disposed on both sides of the central jaw support plate. The side jaw support plate includes an alveolar placement surface and an mounting surface opposite to the alveolar placement surface, and the alveolar placement surface and the maxillary contact surface face the same direction. A large through hole is provided on the side jaw support plate. The number of lateral edges is at least two, and the two lateral edges are respectively located at the ends of the two lateral jaw plates away from the central jaw plate. The ends of the lateral edges near the lateral jaw plates can fit against the alveolar ridge of the patient's maxilla.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the central jaw support plate, the side jaw support plate, and the side edge are integrally formed.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the central jaw support plate, the side jaw support plate, and the side edge are all 1mm-2mm.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of first small through holes are provided on the middle jaw support plate.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of second small through holes are provided on both the side jaw support plate and the side edge.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, an avoidance groove is provided on the side edge, and the avoidance groove is provided in correspondence with the patient's buccal frenulum.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a protrusion is mounted on the mounting surface, and the end of the protrusion away from the mounting surface can fit against the alveolar ridge of the patient's mandible; The protrusion has a through hole, which is coaxially arranged with the large through hole and connected to the large through hole.

[0015] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the diameter of the protrusion through hole is the same as that of the large through hole.

[0016] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a convex ring is coaxially mounted on the inner sidewall of the convex through hole, and the convex ring is located at the end of the convex through hole away from the large through hole, and the thickness of the convex ring is much smaller than the thickness of the convex through hole.

[0017] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the convex ring is integrally formed with the inner wall of the through hole of the convex block, and the convex block is integrally formed with the side jaw support plate.

[0018] Beneficial effects This utility model has at least the following technical effects: 1. With the design of the central jaw support plate, the side jaw support plate, the side edge and the large through hole, the patient only needs to perform biting actions under the guidance of the dentist, thus eliminating the need for repeated observation and removal of the device from the patient's mouth for adjustment, reducing labor costs and improving work efficiency.

[0019] 2. Since there is no need to repeatedly remove and adjust the device from the patient's mouth, it does not require a high level of skill from the operator, and therefore does not affect the accuracy of the obtained occlusal relationship. Attached Figure Description

[0027] For those skilled in the art, this invention can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely intended to provide a better understanding of the invention by illustrating examples.

[0028] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides an auxiliary data acquisition device for dental recording. Figure 1 As shown, this device (i.e., an auxiliary recording device for dental records provided by this utility model) includes at least a central jaw support plate 1, a lateral jaw support plate 2, and a lateral edge 3, wherein: like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the middle jaw support plate 1 includes at least a palatal contact surface 101 and a tongue contact surface 102 opposite to the palatal contact surface 101.

[0029] In this embodiment, when the device is placed in the patient's mouth (that is, when the middle jaw support plate 1 is placed in the patient's mouth), the palatal contact surface 101 on the middle jaw support plate 1 will fit against the patient's palate, and the tongue contact surface 102 on the middle jaw support plate 1 will contact the patient's tongue, that is, the patient's tongue will be located below the tongue contact surface 102.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are at least two lateral jaw supports 2, preferably two, and the two lateral jaw supports 2 are respectively disposed on both sides of the central jaw support 1. The lateral jaw support 2 includes an alveolar placement surface 201 and an mounting surface 202 opposite to the alveolar placement surface 201, and the alveolar placement surface 201 and the maxillary occlusal surface 101 both face the same direction.

[0031] In this embodiment, when the device is placed in the patient's mouth (that is, when the side jaw support plate 2 is placed in the patient's mouth), the alveolar placement surface 201 on the side jaw support plate 2 will fit against the alveolar ridge of the patient's maxilla, that is, the alveolar ridge of the patient's maxilla will be located above the side jaw support plate 2.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the number of side edges 3 is at least two, preferably two, and the two side edges 3 are respectively located at the ends of the two lateral jaw plates 2 away from the central jaw plate 1 (i.e., Figure 1 The left and right ends of the lateral edge 3 are designed to fit against the side of the alveolar ridge of the patient's maxilla.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the device is placed in the patient's mouth (that is, when the side edge 3 is placed in the patient's mouth). Figure 1 The right side wall of the left lateral border 3 will fit against the side of the alveolar ridge of the patient's maxilla. Figure 1 The left side wall of the right lateral margin 3 will fit against the side of the alveolar ridge of the patient's maxilla.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, a large through hole 4 is provided on the side jaw support plate 2.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the large through hole 4 can be a circular hole structure.

[0036] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the number of large through holes 4 opened on each side jaw support plate 2 can be one, and there is no special limitation here.

[0037] In this embodiment, in order to better match the maxillary tissue surface and dental arch of different patients (since the size of the maxillary tissue surface and dental arch varies from patient to patient), the device can be designed in three sizes: large, medium, and small.

[0038] When using this device, the inside of the oral cavity of an edentulous patient or a patient with a large area of ​​missing teeth can first be scanned using the three-dimensional scanning technology known in the art. Based on the data obtained from the scan, the device can be manufactured using the 3D printing technology known in the art to match the patient's oral cavity.

[0039] Then, occlusal recording material (e.g., heavy silicone rubber as known in the art) is applied to the lateral jaw support plate 2, and the device is placed in the patient's oral cavity. The patient then performs occlusal movements under the guidance of a dentist, at which point the occlusal recording material forms an imprint of the maxillary alveolar ridge on the alveolar placement surface 201.

[0040] At the same time, under the action of the patient's occlusion, some of the occlusion recording material will enter the mounting surface 202 side (i.e. the other side of the alveolar placement surface 201) through the large through hole 4, and form the imprint of the mandibular alveolar ridge on the mounting surface 202 side.

[0041] Once the occlusal recording material has solidified, there is no need to remove the device from the patient's mouth. The patient's jaw relationship can be obtained by directly scanning the patient's mouth using digital scanning technology known in the art. Then, dentures can be made and implanted for the patient based on the obtained occlusal and jaw relationship data.

[0042] In the above process, dentists do not need to repeatedly observe and remove the device from the patient's mouth for adjustments, thus reducing labor costs and improving work efficiency. Furthermore, because there is no need to repeatedly remove and adjust the device, the skill level required of the operator is not high, and therefore the accuracy of the obtained occlusal relationship is not affected.

[0043] Optionally, the central jaw support plate 1, the lateral jaw support plate 2, and the lateral edge 3 can all be integrally molded. Alternatively, the central jaw support plate 1, the lateral jaw support plate 2, and the lateral edge 3 can also be bonded together using adhesives known in the art, without particular limitation.

[0044] In this embodiment, the thickness of the central jaw support plate 1, the side jaw support plate 2, and the side edge 3 are all 1mm-2mm, preferably 1mm. By setting the thickness of the central jaw support plate 1, the side jaw support plate 2, and the side edge 3 to all be 1mm, the vertical height tolerance of this device in the patient's oral cavity can be increased, reducing the patient's discomfort.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, several first small through holes 5 are provided on the middle jaw support plate 1.

[0046] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the number of the first small through holes 5 is not particularly limited, and can be 500,000. Figure 1 The twelve shown can be arranged evenly in groups of three on the central jaw support plate 1. The first small through-hole 5 can be a circular hole, and its diameter can be smaller than that of the large through-hole 4.

[0047] With the first small through-hole 5, a cushioning material (such as lightweight silicone rubber known in the art) can be applied to the central jaw support 1 during use. This cushioning material is evenly distributed between the central jaw support 1 and the patient's palate through the first small through-hole 5, thereby ensuring a more uniform fit between the central jaw support 1 and the patient's palate. This provides a buffering effect, reducing patient discomfort. Simultaneously, because the cushioning material has a certain viscosity, it also allows for temporary adhesion between the central jaw support 1 and the patient's palate, ensuring the device's firmness and stability within the patient's oral cavity.

[0048] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, several second small through holes 8 are provided on both the side jaw support plate 2 and the side edge 3.

[0049] In this embodiment, the number of second small through holes 8 is not particularly limited, and can be any number of them. Figure 3 The diagram shows three openings on the side jaw support plate 2 and five openings on the side edge 3. The second small through hole 8 can be a circular hole, and its diameter can be smaller than the diameter of the large through hole 4.

[0050] Optionally, the diameter of the second small through hole 8 can be the same as the diameter of the first small through hole 5.

[0051] With the second small through-hole 8, when the patient performs biting actions under the guidance of the dentist, the biting recording material will not only enter the large through-hole 4, but also enter the second small through-hole 8 and be evenly distributed on both sides of the lateral jaw support plate 2 and the lateral edge 3, thereby forming alveolar ridge impressions of the maxilla and mandible, improving work efficiency.

[0052] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a clearance groove 6 is provided on the side edge 3, and the clearance groove 6 is set to correspond to the position of the patient's cheek frenulum.

[0053] By setting the avoidance groove 6, when the patient performs biting action under the guidance of the dentist, the patient's buccal frenulum will not press on the lateral edge 3, but will enter the interior of the avoidance groove 6, thereby greatly reducing the patient's pain and discomfort.

[0054] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, a protrusion 7 is mounted on the mounting surface 202. The end of the protrusion 7 away from the mounting surface 202 is configured to fit against the alveolar ridge of the patient's mandible, that is, the protrusion 7 is configured to correspond to the alveolar ridge of the patient's mandible. The protrusion 7 has a through hole, which is coaxially arranged with and connected to the large through hole 4.

[0055] In this embodiment, the bump through-hole can be a circular hole structure. The diameter of the bump through-hole can be the same as that of the large through-hole 4.

[0056] With the protrusion 7 in place, when using this device, the alveolar ridge of the patient's mandible will conform to the end of the protrusion 7 away from the mounting surface 202 as the patient bites, thereby improving the accuracy of the mandibular alveolar ridge imprint formed by the occlusal recording material.

[0057] Furthermore, the end of the protrusion 7 away from the mounting surface 202 can be configured as an arc-shaped structure that matches the shape of the patient's mandibular alveolar ridge, thereby further improving the accuracy of the mandibular alveolar ridge imprint formed by the occlusal recording material.

[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a protruding ring 401 is coaxially mounted on the inner wall of the through hole of the protrusion. Preferably, the protruding ring 401 is located at the end of the through hole of the protrusion away from the large through hole 4. The thickness of the protruding ring 401 is much smaller than the thickness of the through hole of the protrusion, and the diameter of the inner wall of the protruding ring is not much smaller than the diameter of the through hole of the protrusion.

[0059] With the convex ring 401 in place, when the device is finished and removed from the patient's mouth, the convex ring 401 will engage with the cured occlusal recording material (the convex ring 401 will form a mortise and tenon structure with the cured occlusal recording material), thereby reducing the possibility of the occlusal recording material breaking inside the patient's mouth when the device is removed from the patient's mouth. This eliminates the need to clean broken or damaged occlusal recording material inside the patient's mouth, reducing labor costs and improving work efficiency.

[0060] Optionally, the protruding ring 401 can be integrally formed with the inner wall of the protrusion through hole, and the protrusion 7 can be integrally formed with the side jaw support plate 2. At the same time, the protruding ring 401 and the protrusion through hole, and the protrusion 7 and the side jaw support plate 2 can also be bonded with adhesives known in the art, without any particular limitation.

[0061] Furthermore, the central jaw support plate 1, the lateral jaw support plate 2, the lateral edge 3, and the protrusion 7 can all be made of medical-grade titanium alloy, as is known in the art. This allows for high-temperature sterilization and repeated use, reducing material waste and thus lowering treatment costs, resulting in high cost-effectiveness. Simultaneously, the above-mentioned design also improves the biocompatibility of the device, preventing resin residue in the patient's oral cavity after use and avoiding irritation to the oral mucosa, reducing patient discomfort and ensuring patient health and safety.

[0062] It should be understood that, since this device can directly scan inside the patient's mouth using digital scanning technology after the patient has finished biting, it is also particularly suitable for dental and jaw recording (i.e., occlusal relationship recording and jaw position relationship recording) in the process of digital complete dentures, without having to remove the device and scan it separately after the patient has finished biting, as is the traditional method.

[0063] It should be understood that the above-described embodiments or examples of this utility model can be combined with each other and have corresponding technical effects.

[0064] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
