Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an endofile holder, and more particularly to an endofile holder into which an endofile can be inserted and placed while being worn on a part of the body during dental treatment.

[0002] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0003] This application claims the benefit of priority based on Korean Patent Application No. 10-2021-0072497 dated June 4, 2021, and all contents disclosed in the documents of that Korean patent application are incorporated as part of this specification. [Background technology]

[0004] Teeth are a very important part of the body as they break down food into small pieces during intake to facilitate smooth digestion.

[0005] Therefore, continuous management and treatment of teeth is very important, but when early caries occurs in the tooth enamel exposed inside the oral cavity, it is often left untreated without recognizing whether or not a cavity has occurred.

[0006] This is because enamel is a hard tissue that is harder than bone and has no nerves, so even if a cavity occurs, you cannot feel any additional pain.

[0007] Therefore, people often undergo dental treatment only when tooth decay causes pain, that is, when the decay has progressed to the dental pulp.

[0008] The dental pulp is a soft tissue inside the tooth that is rich in nerves and blood vessels. When tooth decay progresses to the dental pulp, the soft tissue of the pulp cannot regenerate and dies. Therefore, dentists often perform nerve treatment by removing all of the nerves and blood vessels from the dental pulp to reduce toothache.

[0009] The tool used to remove the dental nerve from the dental pulp is usually called an endodontic file, and since it must be inserted deep into the tooth and bent according to the shape of the tooth, it is made of a material with elasticity. Also, endodontic files come in different lengths to measure the root canal length.

[0010] In recent years, there has been an increasing need for an endofile storage holder in which such an endofile can be temporarily placed during the course of neurological treatment in dentistry. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0011] [Patent Document 1] Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1373064 (Announced on March 11, 2014) Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
