It comprises departments of oral surgery, oral medicine, prosthodontics, and orthodontics, and offers specialized treatments such as root canal therapy, guided tissue regeneration techniques, and dental implants.

[0003] In daily dental work, it is often necessary to use measuring rulers to measure patients' teeth, gums, tongue, etc., to obtain accurate measurement data. However, most existing vernier calipers use screws to fix the vernier, which requires the vernier to be inserted into the patient's mouth during measurement. It is very inconvenient for doctors to put their hands into the patient's mouth to tighten the screws, and the patient's mouth does not have enough space to accommodate both the caliper and the doctor's fingers at the same time. This makes it impossible to fix the vernier during measurement. When the vernier caliper is removed from the patient's mouth, if the vernier is bumped, it will move, resulting in measurement errors. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a multi-purpose grooved measuring ruler for dentistry to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

A scale 14 is symmetrically fixed on the side wall of the main scale plate 1 for reading the measurement results. The scale 14 is located on one side of the observation groove 111. The movable groove 11... A movable plate 2 is movably connected to the side, used to control the movement of the movable measuring head 21 for measurement. One end of the movable plate 2 is fixed with the movable measuring head 21, which cooperates with the fixed measuring head 12 to measure dimensions. The movable measuring head 21 passes through the movable slot 112. Indicator blocks 23 are symmetrically fixed to the side wall of the movable plate 2. The tips of the indicator blocks 23 indicate the values ​​on the scale 14, thereby obtaining the measurement results. The indicator blocks 23 are located inside the observation slot 111. A handle 22 is fixed to the other end of the movable plate 2 for controlling its movement. The main scale... One end of the main scale plate 1 is fixed with a fixed measuring head 12, which works in conjunction with the movable measuring head 21 to perform measurements. The fixed measuring head 12 is located on one side of the movable measuring head 21. The other end of the main scale plate 1 is provided with a threaded hole 16 for connecting a limiting screw 161. The threaded hole 16 is connected to the inner side of the moving groove 11, and the limiting screw 161 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the threaded hole 16, which can fix the moving plate 2. One end of the main scale plate 1 is fixed with a protective head 13. The protective head 13 is made of flexible material to prevent the end of the main scale plate 1 from puncturing the patient's oral cavity. This solution involves placing the movable measuring head 21 and the fixed measuring head 12 into the patient's oral cavity, and using the moving plate 2 to move the movable measuring head 21 to perform measurements. The results are read from the values ​​on the scale 14 indicated by the indicator block 23. By turning the limiting screw 161, the moving plate 2 is limited, thereby fixing the movable measuring head 21. This allows doctors to easily obtain measurement values ​​without worrying about the movable measuring head 21 colliding and moving when it leaves the patient's oral cavity, thus enhancing its practicality.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] In another embodiment of this solution, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, specifically, the other side wall of the main ruler plate 1 is provided with a insertion groove 17 for the installation of the insertion block 31.
