Holder for X-ray films for taking X-rays of the teeth

The innovation concerns a holder for X-ray films or plates for taking X-ray images of the teeth.

In today's dental treatment, X-ray examinations of the teeth are carried out in such a way that the dentist, with his hands often wearing rubber gloves,

covered hands place the X-ray film in the required position in the mouth. After the X-ray has been taken, the dentist uses his hands again to remove the film.

For many people, it is an unpleasant experience to feel someone's fingers directly touching various areas of the mouth. Furthermore, this procedure involves an additional time-consuming step, namely putting on the rubber gloves.

The aim of the innovation is to create a device for

become.

This task is solved according to the innovation with a device which is characterized by the features of the protection claims.

An example of the innovation is explained using the drawings. They show:

Fig. 1: a front view of a device according to the innovation,

Fig. 2: a side view of a device according to the innovation,

Fig. 3 is a sectional view of a device according to the invention along the line A-A in Fig. 1.

The device shown in Fig. 1 comprises two basic elements, namely a stem 2 and an X-ray film holder 1 connected to it. The stem 2 consists of a handle 21 at one end and a middle piece 20, the length of which is selected so that the handle 21 protrudes from the mouth even when

The holder 1 for the X-ray film or X-ray plate is attached to the other end of the stem 2. Of course, the holder 1 is adapted to the shape of the X-ray film 1. The device of this embodiment is designed for rectangular X-ray films, which are often used in dental treatment.

The holder 1 consists of a frame construction 10, 11, 12, 13 and 15. This frame construction partially comprises a stop 12, two slot holders 10, 11 and an upper support surface 13. These four functional parts of the frame construction are connected to one another via four intermediate pieces 15.

From Fig. 2 it can be seen that the slot holders 10 and the stop 12 have a higher cross-section than the above-mentioned support surface 13. Furthermore

part 20 is angled.

From Fig. 3, a cross-section through the frame construction according to Fig. 1, it can be seen that the slot holders 10, 11 have slots 13a and 14. This figure also shows that the stop 12 has the same height in cross-section as the slot holders 10, 11. The depth and height of the slots 13a, 13a depend on the dimensions of the X-ray film. Since the X-ray films very often have a frame made of a polymer material, it is necessary to obtain

The dimensions of the slots 13a, 14 exactly match the dimensions of the X-ray film. This adjustment can be easily made by a specialist.

If the X-ray film is to be taken using the device, the dentist takes the X-ray film with one hand and grasps the stem 2 of the device with the other hand. After the X-ray film is placed on the support surface 13 so that it is positioned at the same level as the slots 13a and 14, the outer edges of the X-ray film are inserted into the slots 13a and 14 by pushing the X-ray film towards the stem 2. The pushing is continued until the stop 12 is reached. The holder with the X-ray film can now be placed in the oral cavity at the intended location and the X-ray image can be taken. The image is thus taken with the X-ray film placed in the mouth.
