Description

Field of technology

The utility model refers to a device for manipulating and shaping dental structures made of wax, which can find application in dentistry, in particular in dental technology in shaping, manufacturing, modeling dental crowns, bridges and other dental structures.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

When a patient needs to make new dentures or temporary teeth, typical steps in denture manufacturing include the following: first, the dentist examines the patient's gums and teeth in the patient's upper and lower jaw, and then the dentist or dental technician constructs an ointment model. the upper and lower jaw of the patient, after which the dentist again determines the "bite" of the patient by melting and softening the wax in a tooth block to allow accurate measurement, respectively determining the "bite" of the patient, and then proceed to the final construction of crowns, prostheses.

Several visits to the dentist are usually required, and in many cases additional, sometimes unnecessary, visits are required to achieve a proper fit before the dentures are ready to be made. When the dentist has made changes, the changed models of the upper and lower jaw must be sent to a dental laboratory where the changes are made and then sent back to the dentist for re-placement.

Determining a patient's bite is one of the most important steps in denture preparation. Proper identification and registration of the bite is an essential condition for the functional success of the denture. This is the way to determine the positional ratio of the lower and upper jaw using a central bite registration or bite plates. If the bite is underestimated, the patient will feel excessive jaw closure when the prostheses are already fitted. This can lead to a lot of pain and stress and future problems. If the bite is overestimated, the prostheses prevent the proper closing of the jaw, which again can lead to a lot of pain, discomfort and discomfort.

There are a variety of different devices on the market for use in dental practices or dental laboratories that allow dentists and / or laboratory technicians to make a variety of devices, such as dental crowns, bridge structures and / or dentures. Various heating agents are used in the manufacturing process, such as burners, hot air, hot water and other heating devices, which are commonly used to soften dental wax used in the manufacture of dentures.

In the practice of dental laboratories, a special dental wax is used, from which, by heating, for example with an alcohol lamp, models of dental structures are made, and by means of spatulas of a suitable shape the necessary shape of the dental model is given. The alcohol lamp used does not allow sufficiently precise regulation of the flame, due to which in certain cases it is possible to overheat the wax, as a result of which the structural and molecular lattice of the wax is violated, respectively it is not possible to achieve the required quality. dental crown model or construction. Additionally, when the wax overheats, it is possible to spill and / or evaporate, and in addition, when burning the combustion alcohol, methyl vapors are released, as a result of which the quality of the working environment deteriorates.

Technical essence of the utility model

The present prior art determines the need to create a device for manipulating and shaping dental models of wax, which provides the ability to make precision wax dental structures, while maintaining a constant temperature of the working body, economy of the production process and safety in its use.

The problem is solved with a device for manipulation and shaping of dental models from wax, which included

The 3832 UI is a heating device connected to a power supply and a working modeling tool.

According to the utility model, the working head is designed as an electric handle with a working tip, connected by a cable with an electrical switch and an adapter for low-voltage voltage, wherein the working tip in the handle is connected to an electric low-voltage heater connected to a thermostat.

In a preferred embodiment of the device, the thermostat is adjustable, the adjusting element being located on the outer surface of the handle.

The thermostat has an operating range of 75 ° -85 °.

The adapter has a low voltage voltage of 12V and a power of 5 W.

The device for manipulating dental wax is extremely convenient for use in the production of dental structures, dentures, crowns, and its compact design improves the working environment for both dentists and dental technicians. The device is suitable for use by dentists in their offices or by dental technicians in a dental laboratory. Its use in dental practice will reduce the number of visits that the patient has to make to the dentist when installing new dentures.

The dentist will be able to easily and quickly change the bite registrations and put them back in the patient's mouth without any delay in sending the changed bite registration measurements to a dental processing laboratory.

The device according to the utility model, according to the description, allows precise wax modeling and allows to obtain a coating of constant quality. At the same time, the work process is simplified and shortened many times over, which increases work efficiency and productivity.

As wax dentures are used for testing before the final dentures, the use of a device for manipulating dental wax allows precise preparation of dental structures, saving a large number of necessary operations related to the production of a new set of dentures, which can be performed by the dentist or with fewer visits to him.

Explanation of the attached figures

The device for manipulating and preparing dental structures from wax, according to the utility model, can be understood more clearly from the following exemplary description with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a diagram of the device for manipulating dental wax according to the utility model, Figure 2 is a partial section of the handle according to the utility model.

Exemplary implementation of the utility model

An exemplary embodiment of the device for manipulating dental wax is presented schematically, without limiting the possibility to realize variant embodiments, using elements that have equivalent functional action, without changing the idea of design of the device according to the utility model.

The device consists of an electric handle 1, with a suitably shaped working tip 2, the handle 1 is connected via a cable 3 to an electrical switch 4 and an electrical adapter 5. The adapter 5 provides a constant low voltage 12V, 8W needed to heat the nozzle, wherein the handle 1 is absolutely safe in the hands of a dental technician when working with dental wax.

An electric low-voltage heater 6 connected to a thermostat 7 is mounted in the electric handle 1, which provides a constant operating temperature of the nozzle 2.

For the purposes of efficient operation of the device, it is of particular importance to ensure a precisely defined and evenly distributed temperature on its working surface, and it is appropriate for the thermostat 7 to allow temperature regulation in the range of 75 ° -85 ° C. This ensures faster heating of the working nozzle 2 and extended time for handling the wax, respectively associated with a reduction in the time of use of the device. In view

3832 UI of energy saving the device can be switched on and off from operating mode by means of the electric switch 4.

Once the device is plugged into the power supply, a dentist or dentist or dental technician can easily control the various temperature levels required in the nozzle 2 using a combination of manual and digital control. The heating effect is instantaneous and this allows the dentist to quickly manipulate and change the shape, such as sizing and shaping the dental model from wax. The heater temperature is set at the factory, in particular the optimum operating temperature. The user can then raise or lower the temperature as required, using controls and actuators conveniently mounted on the handle 1. Controlling them with a potentiometer, for example by turning them counterclockwise from the factory-set marking, will reduce heat and clockwise rotation. an arrow will accordingly raise the temperature if necessary.

The proposed device allows fast heating, where the heat is evenly distributed in the front working part of the nozzle 2, and provides constant heating of the modeled wax, which creates conditions for precise processing and achieving high quality of the manufactured dental models. The device is economical in terms of energy consumption and at the same time safe during use.
