Abstract

The present invention is a hand-held and movable root canal treatment pulp hole detection camera and video system, mainly related to an innovative technology for the simple detection of a pulp hole. The detection method is for a tooth to be treated with root canal. After the tooth is drilled and expanded, a probe head composed of a light source and an ultra-miniature camera lens module is inserted into a tooth cavity for direct observation, photographing, and video recording to obtain detailed positions, numbers, and directions of pulp holes. The probe head is connected with an extension hose to a small control platform. Observed images can be clearly displayed on an external or built-in color touch screen through the control platform, making it convenient for hand-holding and moving to determine the number, location, size, direction, etc. of the pulp holes in the tooth during the treatment. The present invention is more accurate and effective for cleaning, disinfection and filling of the pulp cavity and other teeth root canal treatments, which greatly improves the effects of root canal treatments.

Description

Handheld and mobile root canal treatment pulp hole detection camera and video system

The present invention is mainly applied to the field of the method and the device used in the system for image detection of the pulp hole in the root canal treatment of the tooth.

The main purpose of root canal treatment is to solve pulpitis and apical periodontitis, and it is based on the premise of retaining the original teeth. The process of root canal treatment is complicated and delicate. The first is to grind the bad tissue of the tooth and then drill. Open the tooth crown to expose the pulp hole, and then use the pulp needle to pull out the infected pulp (commonly known as nerve extraction), then measure the length of the root canal, and modify the shape of the root canal, that is, use The root canal file slowly expands the thin root canal, and then rinses with disinfectant water to remove tissue debris and bacterial residues on the root canal canal. After a period of time, the original drug is taken out, and the root canal is sealed with a permanent material, and finally the appearance of the tooth is restored. Most of the traditional root canal treatment procedures can only rely on the experience and feel of the doctor. Through the treatment equipment in the hand, the pulp tissue and related nerves are destroyed and crushed. In addition to cleaning the pulp tissue, the other is to destroy the nerve activity. However, during the treatment process based on experience and feel, at most, the dental mirror is placed next to the tooth, and the exposed pulp hole is irradiated on the mirror surface of the dental mirror to detect and inspect. However, because the mirror surface of the dental mirror is too small, it is impossible to clearly detect the situation in the tooth cavity, and it is impossible to determine the number, position, size and direction of the pulp hole, which may lead to insufficient root canal treatment. sure In fact, or missing the pulp hole hidden in the corner edge of the tooth cavity, causing the pulp tissue to be unclean, or the nerve activity is not completely destroyed, it is easy to cause the re-inflammation of the root tip. This kind of chronic inflammation, usually It will be ignored, but the bacteria are already hidden in the nerve root. If it is not thoroughly cleaned, it will leave a hidden crisis, such as periodontal disease, etc., resulting in even worse results.

In recent years, although high-magnification medical microscopes have been used to magnify the local root canal by 12 to 25 times, combined with strong light illumination, to improve the shortcomings of traditional root canal treatment, however, this microscopic root canal treatment instrument has a relatively large volume. It is large, not conducive to installation and operation, and inconvenient to use, and each machine costs one or two million NT dollars. It is difficult for general dental clinics to afford its high cost and subsequent expensive maintenance costs, so it is not practical in practical application. It is economical and not universal.

The main purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that the general dentist cannot clearly and conveniently detect the correct data of the pulp hole in the tooth cavity when performing root canal treatment, resulting in the inaccuracy of root canal treatment. Under the guidance of Dr. Wu Guofeng's accumulated 40 years of medical experience, the present invention uses the mature ultra-miniature medical endoscopic camera technology to develop a simple hand-held and movable root canal treatment pulp hole detection, photographing and recording system. After the cavity, you can clearly see the number, position, direction and size of the pulp hole, so it can greatly reduce the blind spot of the doctor's field of vision, resulting in incomplete pulp removal or missing hidden pulp cavity. It provides an effective root canal treatment that can be easily and simply used by general dentists.

The innovative handheld and mobile root canal treatment pulp hole detection photographing and recording system of the present invention, the image detection method is mainly aimed at the teeth to be subjected to root canal treatment. The detection head of the module is inserted into the dental cavity for direct observation. The detailed information of the pulp hole can be easily obtained. The detection head is connected with an extension tube and connected to a controller, and the observed image can be clearly displayed on the external or built-in color touch screen through the controller. , Provided in the treatment, the doctor can determine the number, position and size of the pulp hole in the patient's tooth, so it is more accurate and effective when the root canal treatment of the tooth such as root canal removal, disinfection and filling is performed, and the root canal is greatly improved. Efficacy and efficiency of treatment.

The specific device used in the handheld and movable endodontic treatment pulp hole detection photographing and recording system of the present invention mainly includes a main body, a handle, an image detection unit and other components, the front of the main body has a display screen, the main body A handle is formed on the bottom edge, a controller is arranged on both the body and the handle, a detection unit is connected on the back of the body, the detection unit includes an extension tube, and a mobile phone holder is arranged at the end of the extension tube, and A detection body is pivoted by the mobile phone holder, and a detection head with a light source and a lens module is arranged at the bottom of the end of the detection body. For the use of dentists' inertia, the diameter of the detection head is set to be less than 2.3mm; in practice, a hole with a diameter of about 2.5mm is generally drilled on the tooth to be treated, and then the detection head is inserted into the tooth cavity. Direct observation, using the controller to make the observed image clearly displayed on the external display screen through the extension tube, so that the correct and complete pulp hole data can be easily obtained, which makes the root canal treatment process easier , and can achieve the effect of effective root canal treatment.
