Definitions

  • Medical or dental medical handpiece for machining or abrasive processing preferably of tissue from the human or animal body
  • the invention relates to a handpiece according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a tool of this type is described in WO 96/14024. It is a tool whose abrasive machining section is effective laterally and at the end and is suitable for working out an approximal cavity in the tooth with an oscillating drive which is transferred to the tool by a dental handpiece.
  • the magnitude of the amplitudes of the oscillation movements is relatively small in the sense of a vibration, the frequency preferably being in the sound or ultrasound range.
  • the machining section is a machining head which is thickened with respect to the tool shank and whose cross-sectional shape converges towards its free end.
  • the tool has a smooth surface on the side opposite the side machining section.
  • the known tool is suitable for incorporating a cavity in the approximal area of the tooth.
  • the processing section is preferably sunk from occlusal to cervical but also from lateral to central.
  • the cavity can already be pre-machined using a rotary tool, or it can also be machined with the machining section without pre-machining.
  • the adjacent tooth remains unaffected, since the smooth surface opposite the machining section does not damage the adjacent tooth.
  • the abrasiveness of the effective working surfaces of the machining section is created by a stocking of small grains of hard material, preferably of diamond, which lie against one another. In functional operation, the small, hard grains prove to be a multitude of cutting edges, with the working surfaces present in each case being essentially effective over the entire surface.
  • the amplitudes of the oscillating movements of the machining section in functional operation can be carried out by spatial circular or elliptical movements in the sense of vibration.
  • the machining section can have a cross-sectional shape which is convergent towards its free end.
  • a tool or handpiece of the types described above differs from known dental files and associated handpieces in several respects.
  • the known files or handpieces are set up for machining with a movement parallel to the file surface and thus for surface processing.
  • the known files or handpieces are set up for a stroke size of their reciprocating movement, which is relatively large and can be a few millimeters.
  • the tool according to WO 96/14024 has working surfaces oriented transversely to one another, e.g. at least one working surface extending in its longitudinal direction and one end surface extending transversely thereto, and due to a drive with spatial amplitudes, it is set up not only to work on surfaces, as is usual with files, but also holes or cavities, in particular blind holes to incorporate.
  • the tool is not used to prepare a cavity on the tooth, but rather to treat the surface of the tooth, namely to remove tartar.
  • the tool is connected in one piece to the shaft, the shaft being releasably connected to the handpiece by a screw connection.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of designing a handpiece of the type described in the preamble of claim 1 in such a way that handling-friendly and quick loading and, if appropriate, also replacement of the tool is possible.
  • the holding device for the tool has a latching device which can be manually overridden when the tool is inserted and removed. This enables easy and quick loading and replacement of the tools with one-hand operation. The tool only needs to be gripped and inserted or pulled out with the operating hand, the fixing or loosening of the tool taking place by means of an automatic locking or unlocking.
  • the invention is further based on the object of designing a handpiece of the type described in the preamble of claim 12 in such a way that it is possible to equip the handpiece with a tool or to exchange tools with less material.
  • the handpiece should be easy to use in normal or difficult working positions.
  • the tool is a separate component which is detachably connected to the shaft by means of a holding device. It is thus possible to equip the handpiece with a small and inexpensive tool, or to detach the tool on its own and replace it with a new tool, whereby the shaft can remain on the handpiece. The material required therefore only extends to the tool, while the shank can remain unchanged.
  • This solution according to the invention then also serves a user-friendly one
  • the tool is also a separate component which is independent of the shaft and which can be adjusted in its holder on the shaft by means of an adjusting device and preferably also in the respective adjustment position by means of a locking device.
  • the present position problem is also predetermined by the fact that the teeth are arranged on both sides of a vertical longitudinal center plane and thus different working positions for the tool and the handpiece are specified on both sides of the longitudinal central plane.
  • the invention also relates to a cutting tool for the handpiece, which has the same advantages as far as the tool is concerned
  • the invention is also suitable for tools which have an asymmetrical and / or non-circular shape with respect to their longitudinal center axis.
  • Another advantage of the configuration according to the invention is that, due to the adjustability according to the invention, one and the same tool not only for use in handling-friendly positions but also for use in different places, e.g. for performing dental medicine work on inner and outer positions of the row of teeth of the lower or upper jaw.
  • the required number of different tools can be significantly reduced. It can be assumed that, in the embodiment according to the invention, only about 25% to 50% of the number of different tools needs to be present in order to be able to carry out normal work at the treatment site, in particular in the mouth of a patient. As a result, fewer different tools are required and, in addition, a larger number of identical tools can be produced, which can significantly reduce the manufacturing costs.
  • the holding devices can be simple clamping devices, in particular by means of screws, or so-called quick-connect connections, which enable the tool to be released or clamped in a short amount of time.
  • the tools can be those that are suitable for the preparation of tooth cavities, crown stump preparations, caries extractions, marginal and interdental preparation of restorations, root surface treatment and bone treatment.
  • the solution according to the invention contained in claim 7 makes it possible to swivel the handpiece during processing, the tool being able to remain in operation due to the restoring force of the swivel joint effective on it. This protects the tool against overloads.
  • Such a function is particularly advantageous when processing in the tooth side area, as is the case with a preparation of a crown or a partial crown.
  • Claims 8 and 9 contain configurations with a swivel joint in which the tool can either be rotated or fixed by means of a locking device. It is advantageous to design the locking device in such a way that it automatically functions when the tool is adjusted laterally and / or axially against a restoring force by a pressure greater than a certain size, see claim 10.
  • the automatically acting restoring force enables to use the tool both in its starting position or middle position or in its laterally or axially adjusted working position, even forced in the latter working position, since the tool is locked
  • the known tools and handpieces have the problem in common that if the tool is prevented from executing its oscillatory movement, it can be overloaded and damaged or break off due to an impact effect. This applies in particular to tools that have a small cross-section and can easily break off.
  • the above-mentioned difficulty applies in particular to root canal files, which are sensitive to breakage due to their small diameter, in particular when a root canal file is overloaded in the bent state, in which it adapts, for example, to the bent root canal.
  • a previously described impact effect is also given for a root canal file if the file tip incorporates a depression in the sense of a step in the outer curvature wall of the root canal and this step prevents the root file from penetrating further into the root canal.
  • the invention is further based on the object of designing a handpiece or a tool of the types specified in the preamble of claim 35 or 41 in such a way that the stresses on the tool resulting from the drive, in particular shock loads, are reduced.
  • a damping means is provided which is integrated in the drive connection of the handpiece or in the tool above its processing section. It is possible within the scope of the invention to arrange the damping element in the chain of drive connecting links present in the handpiece or on the tool as a loose part or as a connecting medium or connecting part which connects the adjacent parts of the drive connection with one another and thus to excite vibrating both by abutment and by train can
  • the damping means transmits the driving force unchanged, but the power transmission is resilient so that when the tool is prevented from oscillating, e.g. when it abuts a wall extending transversely to the movement amplitude, the drive force peaks are damped.
  • the damping means can dampen in one or more load force directions which are or are directed radially or laterally and / or axially and / or in the circumferential direction and can also be caused by a tilting or bending movement.
  • the damping means is arranged in the drive connection of the handpiece, it only needs to be arranged once, and it applies to all tools. If, on the other hand, the damping means is integrated in the tool, such a damping means integration is required for each tool.
  • the latter is advantageous because Integration into the confined space of the head area of the handpiece is difficult and complex.
  • the arrangement of the damping means in the region of the shank of the tool can be formed simply and inexpensively in the course of its manufacture. It should be taken into account that the design of the damping means in the shaft area of the tool can also be integrated in a confined space, but the tool is an easily accessible single part during its manufacture, which can be handled simply and conveniently in the design and arrangement of the damping means .
  • the damping means can be an intermediate element between the machining section and the tool shank or between two tool shank parts. It is also possible for the damping means to be formed as an intermediate member surrounding the tool shank, in particular in the form of a sleeve which can be surrounded by an additional outer sleeve as an elastically deformable element and which can form a manual grip or which can be used as a connecting means with the handpiece or whose handpiece shaft can serve. In the context of the invention, it is also possible to arrange the damping means on a separate additional part which can be connected to the tool shaft and can serve as an intermediate member for connection to the handpiece or the handpiece shaft.
