Description

Single-pair tooth occlusal force measuring device
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of oral biomechanics detection, and particularly relates to a device for measuring occlusal force of a single pair of teeth.
Background
The biting force of teeth is also called as biting force, which refers to the pressure of mastication generated by the contraction of masticatory muscles when the upper and lower teeth are in contact. In general, an excessive occlusal force may cause a natural dental fracture, and after a missing dentition or a defective tooth body, a tooth is often repaired by a repairing method such as a dental implant, a fixed bridge, an all-ceramic crown and the like. In the above-mentioned repair process, it is usually necessary to make different repair plans according to the age, chewing habits, physiological functions, etc. of the patient, and to perform occlusal force analysis on the patient. Therefore, accurate bite measurement is of great significance in the field of oral medical research, and especially has important measurement criteria in improving the bite function state and evaluating the effects before and after treatment. Furthermore, measurement of the occlusal force is also useful for understanding the functional status of the oromandibular system and the health of tissues such as the tooth body, periodontal tissue and masticatory muscle, and is a common objective evaluation index for oral cavity restoration and orthodontic treatment.
At present, T-Scan occlusal force analyzers produced by Tekscan of Boston, USA are widely applied in the market, can accurately record and analyze the corresponding relation between occlusal force and occlusion time, and analyze recorded data by using computer software to further obtain the distribution condition of the oral teeth occlusal force, thereby meeting the measurement requirement of the teeth occlusal force to a certain extent.
However, the occlusal force analyzer measures the total occlusal force of all teeth, and only compares the relative size of the occlusal force of each contact point, and cannot accurately measure the absolute value of the actual occlusal force of a single tooth. For the measurement of the single-pair tooth bite force, no mature commercial product is available at present, and although some solutions are proposed in the prior patent documents (CN201710588758.5, CN201510847598.2, etc.), most of the prior patent documents are that a commercial mechanical sensor is mechanically or capacitively wrapped by a layer of elastic medium and then is put into the oral cavity of a patient for measurement. Although the measurement requirement of a single pair of teeth can be realized to a certain extent, the method also has obvious defects, and is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
(1) the existing sensors for measuring the occlusal force of a single pair of teeth prepared on the basis of force-sensitive materials need to provide a matched external power supply to drive the sensors to work. The sensing methods are limited by the power supply of the sensor, have narrow application range and are difficult to work independently for a long time; and for the random working requirement, the sensor also needs to be powered on for a long time, and the requirement of energy conservation is not met.
(2) The shapes of teeth at different parts in the oral cavity are different, most of the existing measuring devices cannot perform targeted measurement, and the actual occlusal force conditions of different types of teeth cannot be accurately reflected. In addition, the measurement sensitivity of the existing measurement device is often poor, so that the accuracy of the occlusal force test is poor, and the requirement of practical application is difficult to meet.

Wherein, the measuring part comprises a force sensor 1 and an insulating sleeve 2 which is detachably arranged outside the force sensor 1, and the insulating sleeve 2 is made of flexible material and can quickly transmit the occlusal force of teeth to the force sensor 1. In order to ensure the reliability of the arrangement of the force-sensitive sensor 1, the force-sensitive sensor 1 is encapsulated in the protective film 3, so that the force-sensitive sensor 1 is prevented from being influenced by saliva invading into the insulating sleeve 2 during the use process of the incisor measuring unit, and the accuracy of the measurement of the occlusal force is ensured.
Meanwhile, the connecting part in the preferred embodiment is connected to one side of the measuring part and comprises a measuring rod 4, one end of the measuring rod 4 is connected with the protective film 3 in a matching mode, so that the force sensor 1 can be reliably connected to the end of the measuring rod 4, and the other end of the measuring rod 4 is used for being connected with a measuring device to achieve acquisition and analysis of occlusal force data.

As shown in fig. 1, a wire 5 is disposed in the measuring rod 4, and one end of the wire extends out of the end of the measuring rod 4 and is matched with the force sensor 1 after extending into the protective film 3, so as to transmit an electric sensing signal of the force sensor 1.
In addition, the insulating sleeve 2 is sleeved outside the force sensor 1 and can be correspondingly matched with the periphery of the measuring rod 4. For example, in the preferred embodiment as shown in fig. 1, a fastening groove is circumferentially opened on the outer circumference of the measuring rod 4, so that one side opening of the insulating sheath 2 can be just fastened in the fastening groove. So, can ensure insulating cover 2 stable connection at the tip of measuring stick 4, and insulating cover 2 can not take place the axial displacement of measuring stick 4, fully guarantee 5 tip of wire and force sensitive sensor 1's connection reliability, avoid dragging between wire 5 and the force sensitive sensor 1, prolong measuring unit's life.
In a specific embodiment, the insulating sleeve 2 is preferably a block structure made of medical rubber, non-toxic silica gel or hydrogel, and a cavity for accommodating the force sensor 1 and the protective film 3 is formed inside the insulating sleeve, so that after the force sensor 1 is embedded into the insulating sleeve 2, the outer peripheral wall surface of the insulating sleeve just abuts against the inner peripheral wall surface of the cavity. Correspondingly, one side of the insulating sleeve 2 is provided with an opening communicated with the inner cavity of the insulating sleeve, and the opening is arranged in an openable and closable mode and used for extending the force sensor 1 and matching the end part of the insulating sleeve 2 and the measuring rod 4. In practical arrangement, the opening of the insulating sleeve 2 can be closed by adopting a sticking mode, a pin-hole matching mode, a buckling mode and the like, as long as the opening side can be closed.
Of course, according to the actual requirement, the insulating sleeve 2 may be configured in another form, for example, in a form of butt-matching an upper insulating sleeve unit and a lower insulating sleeve unit, and the two insulating sleeve units form an accommodating cavity of the force sensor 1 between the upper insulating sleeve unit and the lower insulating sleeve unit after butt-matching and correspondingly match the outer periphery of the measuring rod 4.
Further, the force sensor 1 in the preferred embodiment is made of a flexible electromagnetic material, and more specifically, the inventor has issued patent document "CN 201811245420.0-a flexible electromagnetic material with piezoelectric property and manufacturing method" to make the flexible electromagnetic material. Through the correspondence optimization of flexible electromagnetic material for force sensor 1 can turn into the electric energy with the mechanical energy that human tooth occlusal force produced at the during operation, and then when producing inductive signal, for the sensor provides the energy, supports the work of force sensor 1 self, has effectively solved the supply problem of single independent external power source to tooth occlusal force measuring unit, need not to set up external power source alone again, has simplified measuring unit's structural design.
Specifically, the flexible electromagnetic material is composed of an electric conduction material, a magnetic material, a monomer and an initiator. The weight ratio of the conductive material to the magnetic material to the monomer to the initiator is 0.3-2: 0.3-2: 1: 0.1 to 0.25. The magnetic material is a continuous coil/mass of material; or dispersed material particles, the particle size of the particles is 0.01-100 microns; and the magnetic material is one or a mixture of more than two of ferrite, neodymium iron boron, samarium cobalt magnet, alnico and iron chromium cobalt magnet. The conductive material is a continuous coil of material; or dispersed material particles, the particle size of the particles is 0.01-10 microns; and the conductive material of the flexible electromagnetic material with piezoelectric property is one or a mixture of more than two of aluminum, copper, gold, silver, mercury and room temperature liquid metal.

Through preparing the force sensor 1 in the preferred embodiment with the above-mentioned flexible electromagnetic material, not only can reduce the cost of occlusal force testing arrangement (the cost reduces more than half than traditional piezoelectric material), can also effectively promote the working property of force sensor 1, because above-mentioned flexible electromagnetic material does not use the polymer that possesses conductive property, the bulk resistance of combined material system is low, the loss in the material is little during output voltage, thereby it is higher to make the material outwards output voltage, output voltage far exceeds conventional piezoelectric material, can more quickly, more accurately reflect the occlusal force state of single pair of tooth, and can more accurately embody the occlusal force difference of different profile of tooth, different position tooth.
Although the occlusal force of teeth with different tooth shapes and teeth at different parts has a certain difference, the difference is generally small, and if the sensitivity of the measuring device is insufficient, the difference cannot be accurately sensed and measured, so that the measuring precision is poor. Therefore, in the preferred embodiment, the force-sensitive sensor 1 is made of a flexible electromagnetic material, so that the sensitivity of the force-sensitive sensor 1 is improved, and the occlusal force data of a single pair of teeth at different positions is measured more accurately, thereby providing a basis for accurately judging the health state of the teeth and accurately performing tooth restoration work.
