Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dental implant technology, and in particular to an occlusal cap for measuring the occlusal height of teeth. Background Technology

[0002] Dental implants are a common dental restoration technique in the field of oral medicine. Dental implants do not involve planting actual natural teeth. Instead, a cylinder or other shape made of pure titanium metal, which is highly biocompatible with human bone, is surgically implanted into the alveolar bone in the area of ​​the missing tooth. After a period of healing, a crown is then placed on the artificial root.

[0003] After dental implantation, several measurements are needed to ensure a proper fit between the implanted tooth and the patient's oral cavity. The older method for measuring bite height involves taking a wax sheet, softening it with an alcohol lamp, shaping it into a dental arch, and placing it in the patient's mouth for bite height testing. If a difference in bite height is observed, the wax sheet is removed, softened again with an alcohol lamp, and the process is repeated until the patient achieves a suitable bite height. Then, a dental arch model is created using the wax sheet. After the arch model is made, it is placed in the mouth, and the patient is instructed to bite gently. The distance from the pupil to the corner of the mouth is measured using a ruler, and the distance from the base of the nose to the base of the chin is also measured. The measured distance should be equal to or 3-5 mm less than these measurements.

[0004] The shortcomings of the aforementioned existing technologies are: cumbersome doctor operation procedures, long operation time, long mouth-opening time for patients, discomfort, strong foreign body sensation in the mouth, increased impression time, and cumbersome measurement methods.

[0005] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an occlusal cap for measuring tooth occlusal height to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention provides an occlusal cap for measuring tooth occlusal height that saves operation time and provides a clear intraoral view; it also minimizes the feeling of foreign objects in the mouth for patients, resulting in a very good experience.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] This utility model discloses an occlusal cap for measuring the occlusal height of teeth, comprising an occlusal cap body, the top of the occlusal cap body being an occlusal end, and the bottom surface of the occlusal cap body being recessed inward to form a groove, the groove being adapted to an oral sweeping cap.

[0009] Furthermore, at least one protrusion is provided on the inner wall of the groove, one end of the protrusion extending to the opening of the groove and the other end extending to the bottom of the groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the thickness of the protrusion near the end of the groove is less than the thickness of the protrusion near the rear end of the groove bottom.

[0011] Furthermore, the biting end edge of the bite cap body has a first arc-shaped transition surface at the connection between it and its outer wall.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom edge of the bite cap body has a second arc-shaped transition surface at the connection between it and its outer wall.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the groove is recessed inward to form a through hole, which extends to the engagement end.

[0014] In the above technical solution, the occlusal cap provided by this utility model for measuring the occlusal height of teeth has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This application uses a groove on the occlusal cap body to fit onto an oral scanning cap for occlusion in dental implant patients. This facilitates gentle biting after implantation. The oral scanning cap is mounted on a composite abutment, which in turn is mounted on a dental model. The patient gently bites the occlusal end, and a measuring ruler is used to measure the distance from the pupil to the corner of the mouth, and then the distance from the base of the nose to the base of the chin. Once these distances are equal or between 3-5 mm, occlusion should be stopped, and the occlusal height can be directly measured using an oral scanning device.

[0016] 2. This application saves on the extraoral procedure and time, and provides a clear intraoral view; it also reduces the feeling of a foreign body in the mouth for patients, resulting in a better experience. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] See Figure 1 As shown;

[0028] The occlusal cap for measuring the occlusal height described in Embodiment 1 of this utility model includes an occlusal cap body 1, the top of the occlusal cap body 1 being an occlusal end 2, and the bottom surface of the occlusal cap body 1 being recessed inward to form a groove 3. The groove 3 is adapted to an oral sweep cap 4, and the bottom of the groove 3 can serve as a stop end to limit the movement distance between the occlusal cap body 1 and the oral sweep cap 4.

[0029] The main body 1 of the bite cap is a soft structure and is elastic.

[0030] The oral scanning cap 4 is a novel dental scanning body structure disclosed in CN216908221U.

[0031] This application uses a groove 3 on the occlusal cap body 1 to fit onto an oral scanning cap 4 for occlusion in dental implant patients, facilitating gentle biting after implantation. The oral scanning cap 3 is mounted on a composite abutment 5, which in turn is mounted on a dental model 10. A measuring ruler can be used to measure the distance from the pupil to the corner of the mouth, and then the distance from the base of the nose to the base of the chin. Once these distances are equal or between 3-5 mm, occlusion should cease, and the occlusal height can be directly measured using an oral scanning device.

[0032] See Figure 2-4 As shown;

[0033] The bite cap for measuring tooth bite height described in Embodiment 2 of this utility model differs from Embodiment 1 in that: at least one protrusion 6 is provided on the inner wall of the groove 3, one end of the protrusion 6 extends to the opening of the groove, and the other end of the protrusion 6 extends to the bottom of the groove.

[0034] This application adds protrusions to increase the tight fit between the bite cap body 1 and the oral sweep cap 4, thereby preventing the bite cap body 1 from falling off the oral sweep cap 4 during the biting process.

[0035] Furthermore, the thickness of the protrusion 6 near the end of the groove is less than the thickness of the rear end of the protrusion near the bottom of the groove, and the end of the protrusion 6 near the groove is slightly larger, so that the occlusal cap body 1 can be smoothly fitted onto the oral sweeping cap 4 and can prevent the occlusal cap body 1 from falling off; when the patient bites on the occlusal end of the occlusal cap body 1, the occlusal cap body 1 moves downward. As the occlusal cap body 1 moves downward and the distance between the protrusions 5 decreases, the occlusal cap body 1 and the oral sweeping cap 4 can be more stable.

[0036] Furthermore, the edge of the biting end 2 of the bite cap body 1 has a first arc-shaped transition surface 7 at the connection between it and its outer wall.

[0037] Furthermore, the bottom edge of the bite cap body 1 has a second arc-shaped transition surface 8 at the connection between it and its outer wall.

[0038] The first arc-shaped transition surface 7 and the second arc-shaped transition surface 8 added in this application prevent the tip or edge from contacting the oral cavity or gums when the patient bites on the main body 1 of the bite cap, thus ensuring that no damage occurs during use.

[0039] See Figure 5 As shown;

[0040] The occlusal cap for measuring tooth occlusion height described in Embodiment 3 of this utility model differs from Embodiment 2 in that the bottom of the groove 3 is recessed inward to form a through hole 9, which extends to the occlusal end 2. The through hole 9 can buffer the deformation of the occlusal cap body 1 caused by occlusion, thus protecting the product from damage.

[0041] See Figure 6 As shown; after dental implantation, the oral scanning cap 4 is screwed onto the composite abutment in the oral cavity, and the occlusal cap body 1 of this application is placed on the oral scanning cap 4, that is, the top of the oral scanning cap 4 is inserted into the groove 3, and the multiple protrusions 6 inside the groove 3 clamp the oral scanning cap 4. At this time, the occlusal cap body 1 is spaced apart from the corresponding side of the gingiva, and the top of the oral scanning cap 4 is spaced apart from the bottom of the groove 3. The patient gently bites the occlusal end 2, and the distance between the bottom of the groove 3 and the top of the oral scanning cap 4 shortens. The distance from the pupil to the corner of the mouth is measured with a measuring ruler, and then the distance from the base of the nose to the base of the chin is measured until the two measured distances are equal or between 3-5 mm. Then, the patient should stop biting and directly measure the occlusal height with an oral scanning device.

[0042] This application saves time and effort in extraoral procedures, while providing a clear intraoral view. Patients experience minimal foreign body sensation and a very comfortable experience.

[0043] Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
