Description

Prosthesis ordering system using vertical height measuring device {PROSTHESIS ORDERING SYSTEM USING VERTICAL DIMENSION MEASURING DEVICE}

The present invention relates to a prosthesis ordering system using a vertical height measurement device, and more specifically, to a prosthesis that simply and accurately measures the vertical height of a patient and enables the design, production, and ordering of a prosthesis based on the measured vertical height. It's about the ordering system.

When manufacturing a wide range of prosthetics, restoration of appropriate vertical dimension is very important for improving the function and aesthetics of the oral cavity system.

In particular, in the case of full mouth rehabilitation treatment that requires changing the patient's current vertical dimension, or in cases where the patient has already lost the vertical dimension due to tooth loss, etc., functional and aesthetic adjustments are made within the range that the patient can adapt to. The key to treatment is setting the vertical height that can improve the quality of life.

If a prosthesis is manufactured with an excessively high vertical dimension, facial muscle tension may increase, temporomandibular joint problem, pain in the alveolar ridge in edentulous areas may be caused, the face may look longer, or mandibular recession may occur.

The display unit 120 may display a shooting button 121 at the bottom of the guide image 11.

Hereinafter, a method of photographing the face of a patient using the guide image 11 will be described. First, the operator photographs the face of the patient using the imaging unit 110. At this time, the operator can adjust the position and angle of the imaging unit 110 to superimpose the patient's face on the virtual image of the face shape and match the virtual image with the patient's eyes, nose, mouth, etc. Additionally, the horizontal guide line (Gh) may be located at the center of the patient's eyes, and the vertical guide line (Gv) may be located at the center of the patient's nose or mouth.

Additionally, the angle between the face of the patient and the imaging unit 110 may be displayed at the top of the guide image 11.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, when the angle between the patient's face and the imaging unit 110 exceeds 90 degrees (e.g., 109 degrees) (a), or between the patient's face and the imaging unit 110 When the angle is less than 90 degrees (e.g., 67 degrees) (b), it is difficult to accurately measure the vertical diameter from the facial image of the patient.

Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 4 (c), it is preferable to photograph the face of the person being treated with the angle between the face of the person being treated and the imaging unit 110 being 90 degrees.

Next, the operator matches the virtual image and the patient's eyes, nose, mouth, etc., or places the horizontal guide line (Gh) at the center of the patient's eyes and the vertical guide line (Gv) at the center of the patient's nose or mouth. , the face of the patient is photographed with the angle between the patient's face and the imaging unit 110 being 90 degrees.

Figure 5 is a diagram showing a vertical height measurement screen displayed on the display to measure the vertical height of the patient after photographing the patient's face, and Figure 6 is a diagram showing the vertical height measurement screen displayed on the display for editing the facial image after photographing the patient's face. This is the editing screen.

Referring to FIG. 5, after photographing the face of the patient, the display unit 120 displays the face image 20 of the patient and the first to fourth horizontal reference lines (Rh1, Rh2, Rh3, and Rh4) overlapping the face image 20. can be displayed.

Additionally, the display unit 120 may display the vertical reference line (Rv) at the same position as the vertical guide line (Gv) and display the fifth horizontal reference line (Rh5) below the fourth horizontal reference line (Rh4).

The input unit 130 aligns the first horizontal reference line (Rh1) with the center of the eye of the face image 20, the second horizontal reference line (Rh2) with the tip of the nose of the face image 20, and the third horizontal reference line (Rh3). An interface can be provided to align the center of the mouth of the face image 20 and align the fourth horizontal reference line Rh4 to the tip of the chin of the face image 20.

The vertical height measuring device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention measures the vertical height and facial ratio according to the Willis measurement method. Here, the Willis measurement method was inspired by the fact that the most aesthetic value is when the distance from the imaginary line connecting the center lines of both pupils to the center of the lips and the distance from the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin are equal.

According to this Willis measurement method, the distance from the virtual line connecting the center lines of both pupils to the center of the lips can be measured as the vertical diameter.

Specifically, when the face image 20 of the patient is generated, the display unit 120 displays the first horizontal reference line (Rh1) near the center of the eye of the face image 20 using an object recognition algorithm, and the second horizontal reference line ( Rh2) is displayed around the tip of the nose of the face image 20, a third horizontal reference line (Rh3) is displayed near the center of the mouth of the face image 20, and a fourth horizontal reference line (Rh4) is displayed around the face image 20. It can be marked around the tip of the chin.

You can. That is, the control unit 140 may calculate the ratio of the second interval to the first interval as the facial ratio. For example, if the first interval is 10 cm and the second interval is 9 cm, the facial ratio of the recipient may be measured as 90%.

The control unit 140 may display the measured facial ratio on the display unit 120. Here, the closer the face ratio is to 100%, the smaller the reduction in vertical height.

Through the facial ratio measured in this way, the operator can visually confirm the degree of reduction in the vertical dimension of the patient being treated.

The display unit 120 may display a fifth horizontal reference line (Rh5) below the fourth horizontal reference line (Rh4). Here, according to the Willis measurement method, the interval between the second and fifth horizontal reference lines (Rh2, Rh5) is equal to the first interval between the first and third horizontal reference lines (Rh1, Rh3).

The position of the fifth horizontal reference line Rh5 may automatically change so that the first and second intervals are the same according to changes in the positions of the first to fourth horizontal reference lines Rh1, Rh2, Rh3, and Rh4.

The first and third horizontal reference lines (Rh1, Rh3) may be displayed in the same color or shape, and the second and fourth horizontal reference lines (Rh2, Rh4) may be displayed in the same color or shape, but the first and third horizontal reference lines may be displayed in the same color or shape. It may be displayed in a different color or shape than (Rh1, Rh3).

The fifth horizontal reference line (Rh5) may be displayed in a different color or shape from the first to fourth horizontal reference lines (Rh1, Rh2, Rh3, and Rh4). Accordingly, the visibility of the vertical height measurement process and the degree of vertical height reduction can be improved.

In addition, the operator can visually check the degree of reduction in the vertical diameter of the patient through the fourth horizontal reference line (Rh4) and the fifth horizontal reference line (Rh5).
