Endodontic File Holder with Magnetic Detachable Body
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for an endodontic file holder that can temporarily hold an endodontic file during dental treatment and allow for quick application of medicine, while also being easily replaceable and adaptable for use on different parts of the body.
Innovation Solution
An endodontic file holder with a medicine receiving groove on its outer surface and a detachably attached holder body using magnetic force, which includes a sponge for holding the file and a length measuring mechanism, allowing for quick medicine application and easy replacement of holder bodies.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a traditional endodontic file holder is used without integrated medicine storage, then the device structure remains simple, but the time required for medicine application increases and treatment efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the endodontic file holder with a medicine receiving groove and sponge into a single integrated device. The holder body includes an accommodating space with a sponge that can hold both the endodontic file and medicine, eliminating the need for separate medicine application tools and reducing treatment steps
Solution Approach 2:
The holder body serves multiple functions: it holds the endodontic file, stores medicine in the receiving groove, provides a sponge for medicine application, and includes a length measuring means. This multi-functional design reduces the number of separate tools needed during endodontic treatment
2Adaptability or versatility
If the holder body is permanently attached to the wearing member, then the structure remains simple, but the ability to replace and adapt holder bodies for different treatments is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into separable components: a wearing member that remains on the therapist's body and a holder body that can be detached and replaced. The magnetic attachment mechanism enables easy separation and reattachment of the holder body to different wearing members or positions
Solution Approach 2:
The magnetic attachment mechanism provides a dynamic connection that allows the holder body to be easily attached and detached based on treatment needs. The magnetic force enables quick replacement of holder bodies without complex fastening or fastening mechanisms
3Ease of operation
If medicine is applied directly without a dedicated receiving groove, then the device structure remains simple, but the precision and speed of medicine application decrease
Solution Approach 1:
A medicine receiving groove is created at a specific location on the holder body surface, providing a dedicated space for medicine placement. This localized feature concentrates the medicine application function in a specific area, making it easier and faster to access during treatment
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables quick and efficient application of medicine to the endodontic file and allows therapists to easily switch between different holder bodies, enhancing the usability and convenience during dental treatments.
Implementation Method 1
a holder body for supporting an endodontic file is detachably attached, by magnetic force, to a wearing member worn on a part of the body
