Dental measuring instruments

Abstract

This is a dental measuring tool used to check the degree of tooth grinding when grinding and capping teeth. As shown in the "Reference Front View," this tool consists of a gripping portion, an interocclusal measurement portion, and a grinding shoulder measurement portion. For example, when grinding and capping a lower jaw tooth, as shown in "Reference Figure 1 Showing the State of Use," the tip of the interocclusal measurement portion is inserted between the ground lower jaw tooth and the upper jaw tooth to measure the gap. Furthermore, as shown in "Reference Figure 2 Showing the State of Use," the grinding shoulder measurement portion is placed along the ground lower jaw tooth, and the shoulder (foot-like portion) of the lower jaw tooth is measured using the tip diameter of the grinding shoulder measurement portion, and the height of the lower jaw tooth is measured using the scale on the grinding shoulder measurement portion.
