Background
Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) is a common clinical condition in the oral cavity with major clinical manifestations of local soreness or pain in the joints, joint articulation and mandibular movement disorders. The site of pain may be in or around the joint area; and pain with different tenderness; the joint soreness and swelling or pain is particularly obvious when chewing and opening, the bounce occurs when opening the mouth, the ringing can occur at different stages of the mandible movement, and can be crisp single ringing or cracked ringing, the common movement obstacles are mouth opening limitation, jaw deflection during opening, left and right side movement limitation of the mandible and the like. In addition, it is accompanied by temporo pain, dizziness, tinnitus and other symptoms.
In order to reduce the tension degree of temporomandibular joint disorder diseases, a conservative treatment mode usually needs to keep a certain distance between upper and lower teeth by using a foreign object for a long time so as to reduce the tension degree of joints and further treat temporomandibular joint disorder diseases. The currently more effective way of conservative treatment is to wear bite pads (bite plates). The existing occlusal pad model is designed according to the broad spectrum of the conditions of most patients, the occlusion design is single, when doctors perform specific operation, the occlusion treatment has the problems of complex treatment procedure, inaccurate manufacture, need of frequently adjusting occlusal height according to the conditions of the patients, more times of repeated diagnosis of the patients and the like. In addition, the occlusal splint needs to be fixed on the upper teeth by using the hanging ring in the operation process, so that the comfort level is poor; and because the occlusion design is single, the occlusal plate can not completely solve the clinical problems of various temporomandibular joint disorders.
With the development of the digitization technology and the 3D printing technology, the field of applying the digitization technology and the 3D printing technology in clinic is more and more, the digitization technology and the 3D printing technology can be applied to more accurately and rapidly prepare an individualized model or prosthesis according to the self condition of a patient, and due to individuation, the prepared model and prosthesis have high inosculation, good prognosis effect and no need of repeated adjustment. If the digital technology and the 3D printing technology can be reasonably applied to the field of temporomandibular joint disorder diseases, the treatment efficiency of doctors can be greatly improved, and the pain of patients is reduced.
The invention provides a 3D printed occlusal plate for treating temporomandibular joint disorder and a preparation method thereof, aiming at the problems of single design of the occlusal plate, complex procedure and inaccurate manufacture in the treatment process of temporomandibular joint disorder in the prior art.

Example 5A 3D printed dental articulator for the treatment of temporomandibular joint disorders
A3D printed occlusal plate for treating temporomandibular joint disorder comprises 2 pairs of continuous symmetrical molar occlusal sleeves inosculated with upper dentition, and corresponding tooth placing holes 4 are arranged in the occlusal sleeves; the two sides of the molar occlusion sleeves are connected through connecting plates, and the molar occlusion sleeves are characterized in that the connecting plates are arranged at the inner side and the outer side, and the shapes of the connecting plates at the inner side and the outer side are consistent with the inner side and the outer side of the top of the upper jaw or the upper dentition; the shape of the inner bottom surface 311 of the tooth occlusion sleeve 1 is consistent with that of the tooth bottom surface, the outer bottom surface 312 of the tooth occlusion sleeve 1 is effectively occluded with the lower dentition, and the tooth occlusion sleeves 1 are communicated with each other. The 2 pairs of molar occlusion sleeves of continuous symmetry are the molar occlusion sleeves of first and second molars and wisdom tooth 2 pairs of continuous symmetry, form a pair of first molar occlusion sleeves 11 and a pair of second molar occlusion sleeves 12.
The outer bottom surface 312 of the tooth occlusion sleeve 1 is passivated, so that the outer bottom surface 312 of the occlusion sleeve can meet the effective occlusion when the lower dentition moves left and right.
The bottom surface of the molar occlusion sleeve is 2-10mm thick; the thickness of the side surface and/or the connecting plate is 2-5 mm; the arrangement can ensure effective separation of the upper jaw and the lower jaw and reduce material loss of the side surface.
This arrangement ensures stability of the structural configuration at the minimum of the bite set arrangements.
The inner connecting plate 21 is anastomosed to the inner part or the upper part of the upper jaw at the base of the dentition by 2-5 mm; the upper jaw of the lateral connecting plate 22 on the base of the dentition is anastomosed by 2-5 mm. This arrangement ensures stability in fitting. The connecting plate on the inner side and the connecting plate on the outer side are integrally connected with the occlusion sleeve. The connecting plate of inboard and the connecting plate and the interlock cover combination of outside are connected, and the connecting plate chooses different materials with the combination package for use.
The upper portions 32 of the inner and outer sides of the bite plate are engaged with the upper portion of the dentition, and this engagement ensures effective socket joint. The lateral upper part 32 of the outer side of the bite plate extends 2-5mm upwards to the upper jaw; the lateral upper part 33 of the inner side extends 2-5mm towards the inner or upper side of the maxilla. This arrangement further ensures the stability of the bite plate after nesting.
Small particles for increasing friction are arranged on the inner side of the occlusal plate close to teeth or maxillary skin. The friction force is effectively increased by arranging the small particles, and the stability of the bite plate after the nesting is further increased. The small particles are sprayed and adhered to the inner surface of the occlusal plate by a particle spraying gun, and the mode is more concise and convenient.
The bite plate is made of a transparent or translucent biocompatible material, which may increase the aesthetic appearance of the resulting bite plate. The material precision of the bite plate is not lower than 50 um;
