Abstract

The drill has a flexible stem (1) extended at one end by a cutting portion (1a) whose length is a fraction of that of the stem. This portion has spiral cutting ridges, and ends in a non-cutting tip (1b), whose length is a few tenths of a millimetre. The sleeve (3) at the other end of the stem is shaped to allow operation by hand. It can be roughly cylindrical, the generatrix of the cylinder being an arc of a circle (4) concave towards the outside. The stem diameter can be between 0.2 and 1.5 mm. ADVANTAGE - Easy operation by hand, providing the dentist with a sense of touch when in use and reduces the risk of breakage.

Description

       

  
 



  La présente invention a pour objet un foret pour l'alésage des canaux radiculaires dentaires comprenant une tige flexible se prolongeant, à une de ses extrémités, par une partie coupante, dont la longueur est un sous-multiple de celle de ladite tige, présentant des arêtes coupantes hélicoïdales, et qui se termine par une pointe non coupante, de quelques dixièmes de millimètres de longueur. 



  Les forets du type susmentionné, connus des gens du métier sous le nom de "forets de Gates", sont toujours utilisés à l'aide d'une pièce à main ou d'un contre-angle, c'est-à-dire entraînés mécaniquement. Leur extrémité opposée à celle qui présente les moyens de coupe est de ce fait munie de moyens d'accouplement à l'organe de prise de force de la pièce à main ou du contre-angle. 



  Le but de la présente invention est de fournir un tel foret qui soit apte à être actionné manuellement. 



  Ce but est atteint grâce aux moyens définis dans la revendication 1. 



  Le dessin représente, à titre d'exemple, une forme d'exécution de l'objet de l'invention. 
 
   La fig. 1 est une vue en élévation d'un foret du type dit "de Gates". 
   La fig. 2 est une vue agrandie de l'extrémité de travail dudit foret, et 
   La fig. 3 est une coupe suivant la ligne III-III de la fig. 1. 
 



  Le foret représenté comprend une tige flexible lisse 1 dont la longueur peut varier de 14 à 30 mm et dont le diamètre se situe entre 0,16 et 1,5 mm, se prolongeant par une partie coupante 1a, de forme ovoïde, dont la longueur peut varier de 0,5 à 10 mm, présentant trois arêtes coupantes hélicoïdales 2 (fig. 3), et qui se termine enfin par une pointe lisse 1b, de plus petit diamètre que la tige 1, dont la longueur varie de 0,17 à 0,53 mm. 



  A son extrémité opposée à celle présentant la partie coupante 1a, la tige 1 se termine par une partie 1c de plus grand diamètre sur laquelle est enchâssé un manche 3, en une matière, plastique ou autre, résistant au traitement de stérilisation que doit subir l'instrument, et qui permet d'actionner celui-ci manuellement. Ce manche est constitué par un corps de révolution dont la génératrice, désignée par 4, est en arc de cercle, sa concavité étant tournée vers l'extérieur. Il présente en outre des cannelures longitudinales 5 améliorant sa tenue entre les doigts du praticien. 



   La possibilité d'actionner manuellement un foret d'alésage des canaux radiculaires dentaires est spécialement appréciable pour les forets de très petits diamètres, qui sont les plus fragiles, car elle permet de tirer parti du sens tactile du praticien pour réduire les risques de fracture de l'instrument en cours d'emploi. 



  
 



  The present invention relates to a drill for boring dental root canals comprising a flexible rod extending at one of its ends by a cutting part, the length of which is a submultiple of that of said rod, having helical cutting edges, and which ends in a non-cutting point, a few tenths of a millimeter in length.



  Drills of the aforementioned type, known to those skilled in the art as "Gates drills", are always used with the aid of a handpiece or a contra-angle, that is to say driven mechanically. Their end opposite to that which has the cutting means is therefore provided with coupling means to the PTO member of the handpiece or contra-angle.



  The object of the present invention is to provide such a drill which is capable of being actuated manually.



  This object is achieved by the means defined in claim 1.



  The drawing represents, by way of example, an embodiment of the subject of the invention.
 
   Fig. 1 is an elevational view of a drill of the so-called "Gates" type.
   Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of the working end of said drill, and
   Fig. 3 is a section along line III-III of FIG. 1.
 



  The drill represented comprises a smooth flexible rod 1 whose length can vary from 14 to 30 mm and whose diameter is between 0.16 and 1.5 mm, extended by a cutting part 1a, of ovoid shape, the length of which may vary from 0.5 to 10 mm, having three helical cutting edges 2 (fig. 3), and which finally ends with a smooth tip 1b, of smaller diameter than the rod 1, the length of which varies from 0.17 at 0.53 mm.



  At its end opposite to that having the cutting part 1a, the rod 1 ends in a part 1c of larger diameter on which is embedded a handle 3, of a material, plastic or other, resistant to the sterilization treatment which must undergo the 'instrument, and which allows to activate it manually. This handle is constituted by a body of revolution whose generator, designated by 4, is in an arc, its concavity being turned towards the outside. It also has longitudinal grooves 5 improving its hold between the practitioner's fingers.



   The possibility of manually actuating a drill for boring the dental root canals is particularly appreciable for drills of very small diameters, which are the most fragile, because it makes it possible to take advantage of the tactile sense of the practitioner to reduce the risks of fracture of the instrument in use.
