Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a special drill bit for dental post preparation. Background Technology
[0002] After root canal treatment, affected teeth are typically restored using a post and core crown to restore their shape and function. Among the various post and core restoration techniques, the fiber post combined with resin core technique is currently widely used in clinical prosthodontics. The main advantage of fiber posts is that their elastic modulus is similar to that of dentin, ensuring that stress distribution under load is similar to that of natural teeth. Clinical studies have also shown that fiber posts may reduce the incidence of root fractures.
[0003] During post-core restoration, specific post preparation drills are used to enlarge the root canal, providing space for the future fiber post. Post preparation drills have stronger cutting properties than root canal files. These drills, by removing dentin from the root canal walls, may weaken the root's resistance and lead to stress concentration. When the tensile stress exerted by these post preparation drills on the root canal walls exceeds the tensile strength of the dentin, it can lead to the formation of microcracks.
[0004] Therefore, post preparation may weaken the tooth and potentially cause root fracture within the dentin. Studies have shown that root dentin cracks can occur during fiber post preparation; for example, both the 3M RelyX and Rebilda fiber post preparation drills have caused cracks in the dentin of the root canal wall, which can severely impact the prognosis of the restored tooth. The reason for this is that the cutting efficiency and torque of existing dental post preparation drills are unbalanced. Most existing drills use a helical cutting edge design, which, while ensuring chip removal, is prone to self-feeding, resulting in higher peak torque and increasing the risk of microcracks or fractures in the root canal wall. Furthermore, most existing drill shanks lack digital recognition capabilities, hindering integration with modern digital dental equipment (such as root canal scanners and digital root canal preparation systems) and affecting automated recognition and parameter control. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a special drill bit for dental post preparation.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a special drill bit for dental post preparation, comprising a connecting shank, an identification shank, a transition shank, a grinding shank, and a drill tip, which are fixedly arranged sequentially from top to bottom along the drill bit axis; Optical coding marks are provided on the peripheral surface of the identification handle for image recognition by dental equipment; The grinding shank is a diamond grinding shank, and several straight overflow grooves are evenly distributed around its circumference to facilitate the overflow of cutting debris. The drill bit tip features a spiral cutter design with a negative rake angle and a rounded tip.
[0007] Preferably, the connecting handle is a clamping head for clamping onto a dental device.
[0008] Preferably, the optically encoded mark is a QR code etched by laser.
[0009] Preferably, the transition shank gradually tapers along the axial direction from the identification shank to the grinding shank.
[0010] Preferably, the outer periphery of the grinding shank has a diamond coating.
[0011] Preferably, the number of straight overflow troughs is four.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. Equipped with optical coding markers for dental equipment to perform image recognition and obtain drill bit parameters such as material and size; 2. Diamond grinding improves cutting efficiency and wear resistance, while straight overflow grooves effectively remove chips and reduce cutting resistance; 3. The drill bit tip features a spiral cutter design with a negative rake angle, providing a degree of self-tapping capability. This allows for self-guiding and stable advancement during the cutting process, while the rounded tip helps prevent lateral penetration to some extent. The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a special drill bit for dental post preparation, including a connecting shank 1, an identification shank 2, a transition shank 3, a grinding shank 4, and a drill tip 5, which are fixedly fixed from top to bottom along the drill bit axis. Optical coding marks are provided on the peripheral surface of the identification handle for image recognition by dental equipment; The grinding shank is made of diamond grinding, which improves cutting efficiency and wear resistance. Several straight overflow grooves 6 are evenly distributed around its circumference to discharge cutting chips and reduce cutting resistance. The drill bit tip features a spiral cutter design with a negative rake angle and a rounded tip. It possesses a degree of self-tapping capability, enabling self-guided and stable advancement during the cutting process. The rounded tip also helps prevent lateral penetration to some extent.
