Definitions

  • ABSTRACT In a dental instrument for the treatment of ggg gfi p g dental roots by dental instruments such as broaches or wmg reamers, means are provided for causing the instrument to al- U.S. Cl 32/57 temately rotate in one direction and in the opposite direction, Int-CI A61 5/02 the means causing an angle of rotation of the instrument Field of Search 32/27, 57; which is at the most equal to the angle which corresponds to 74/ 16 its yield strength, or elastic limit. 1
  • the present invention is concerned with a dental instrument for the treatment of root canals and in particular for the reaming of such canals.
  • the classical maneuver for canal enlargement is the rotation of the instrument, limited to a quarter turn and coupled with an up and down movement. This alternate rotational movement can only be achieved very slowly by hand at the rate of about 150 times per minute.
  • the degree of rotation is naturally not precise and the dentist can over step the degree of elasticity of the metal and thus cause breakage of the instrument.
  • an exaggerated rotation can lead to the creation of steps" in the canal wall and to false roots in broaching.
  • the slow progress made may tempt the dentist to force, but the instrument is liable to twist or jam. Keeping the mouth open as wide as possible is very tiring for the patient and if he closes his mouth suddenly, there may occur an accident. Also to be considered is the fact that the dentists fingers are extended while working in bad conditions, which may lead to cramp and to the dulling of tactile sense. Too, the visibility of the dentist is almost nil as the fingers obstruct the view of the tooth and saliva may make the fingers and instruments slippery.
  • the invention in one modification provides a handpiece having a rotating driving shaft moving a circular tray continuously around; a lug secured to the tray around its periphery; a hollow circular cylinder having an axis perpendicular to the motor axis and having a longitudinal slot which cooperate with said lug; means for supporting the drilling tool inside said cir cular cylinder and a gear case surrounding the handpiece.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a handpiece according to the invention according to one modification.
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view along the line lI-II of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic view plan wise of the securing plate for the drilling tool.
  • FIG. 4 is the same as FIG. 1 for another modification.
  • FIG. 5 is a cross section taken along line III-III of FIG. 4.
  • FIG. 6 is a schematic view of an operating assembly according to either modification of the invention.
  • FIG. 7 is an enlarged crosssectional view of a tooth being treated by a reamer according to the invention.
  • handle 1 of the inclined shaft contains an arm 2 which is directly linked to usual moving means for dental chairs (not shown).
  • arm 2 which is directly linked to usual moving means for dental chairs (not shown).
  • elbow 3 of the handle is secured, by means of atliieaded elbow sleeve 4, the handpiece 5.
  • sleeve 4 allows the replacement of handpiece 5 by any other conventional handpiece, having continuous rotation.
  • Handpiece 5 comprises a moving shaft 6 actuated by arm 2 by means of pinion 7 cooperating with the interior teeth 8 on the end of arm 2.
  • a sleeve 9 bearing a circular disc 10.
  • Disc 10 carries around its periphery a substantially conical pinion lug l1.
  • a hollow circular cylinder 13 Perpendicularly to the axis of shaft 6, and in the interior of the gear case 12 of the tool, is mounted a hollow circular cylinder 13 having a longitudinal slot 14. Cylinder 13 is kept in motion inside gear case 12, at one end by tube 15 driven in the body of the head of the tool, and at the other end by a bushing 16.
  • Cylinder 13 is made integral, as will be explained later, with drilling tool 17.
  • Lug 11 is mounted in such a way as to slide alternatively or reciprocally in slot 14 when disc 10 rotates continuously.
  • FIG. 2 is shown one of the two positions of cylinder 13, the radial surface of slot 14 making an angle of about 45 with the axis of motor arm 6.
  • slot 14 will occupy a position symmetrical with respect to this axis.
  • lug 11 occupies its highest position, the plane of slot 14 passing then through the lowest position of lug 11.
  • the present arrangement provides reciprocating rotary movement around a perpendicular axis of cylinder 13 bearing a broach or drilling tool or a nerve puller 17 so that the direction tool 17 rotates changes about every one quarter turn or It is understood that the width of slot 14 as well as the height and shape of pin 11 are selected in such a way as to ensure their cooperation with a minimum of play and to prevent unhooking at the two extreme positions of slot 14, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the conical shape of the lug or pin 11 represented on FIGS. 1 and 2 is particularly adapted for this purpose.
  • the drilling tool 17 can be secured to the bottom part of a conventional mandrel 18, by welding, screwing or any other known means.
  • Mandrel 18 is mounted inside cylinder 13 in tube 15.
  • Cylinder 13 is closed at its upper end at 19 and has an opening 20 for passing the upper end 21 of the shank of mandrel 18.
  • Opening 20 has a face cut 22 which cooperates with a flattened section 23 at the end 21 of the mandrel.
  • the shank of the mandrel is prevented from sliding along the axis of cylinder 13 by a locking plate 24 (FIG. 3).
  • Plate 24 has an elongated opening 25 terminating by a bore 26 of increased diameter.
  • This bore 27 allows the passage of a screw 28 which fixed plate 24 onto a fastener 29, having shoulder 30 and actuated by spiral spring 31 positioned in a hollow 32 of gear case 12.
  • Elongated opening 25 cooperates with the end 21 of the shank of mandrel 18, which for this purpose has a circular groove 33.
  • maneuvering piece 29 is pushed back, thus retracting plate 24, by pushing the shoulder 30 towards the left of FIG. 1, against the action of spring 31.
  • bore 26 is brought in front of end 21 and the tool can be inserted in bore 26 which has a greater diameter than that of end 21.
  • piece 29 is released, the latter returns to the position of FIG. 1, as a result of the action of spring 31; the shank of mandrel 18 is therefore prevented from disengaging from plate 24, groove 33 cooperating with elongated opening 25 which is slightly larger than the diameter of circular groove 33 while being smaller than the diameter of the shank of mandrel 18.
  • FIGS. 4- 5 The other embodiment of the invention, shown in FIGS. 4- 5 comprises a driving spindle 41, one extremity of which comprises a journal 42, to which is keyed a driving piece 43.
  • the latter is intended to be coupled to a corresponding part of a conventional wrist joint.
  • a plate 44 of rectangular shape in the specific example, is keyed to the other extremity of spindle 41.
  • This plate is at right angles to the axis of driving spindle 41, and comprises a cylindrical first crankpin 5, fixed to plate 44 in the vicinity of its periphery.
  • This axis of crankpin 45 is parallel to that of driving spindle 41.
  • the latter is rotatively mounted within a cylindrical ring 46 keyed to the body 47 of the handpiece.
  • Said handpiece comprises a driven spindle 48, the axis of which is substantially coincident with that of the driving spindle 41, in the present specific example.
  • a rectangular plate 49 is keyed to one of the extremities of driven spindle 48 through a cylindrical sleeve 50.
  • Plate 49 is at right angles to the axis of driven spindle 48 and it is in register with plate 44. It is provided with a cylindrical crankpin 51, substantially similar to crankpin 45, located in the vicinity of the periphery of plate 49. The axis of crankpin 51 is parallel to that of driven spindle 48.
  • driven spindle 48 is joumaled within a cylindrical ring 52.
  • the sleeve 50 of plate 49 is journaled within a cylindrical ring 53.
  • Rings 52 and 53 are keyed within a tubular sleeve 54 screwed on to the body 47 of the handpiece.
  • the extremity 61 of the handpiece as shown in the FIG. is that of an ordinary handpiece.
  • Driven spindle 48 is adapted to drive a canal dental instrument for boring a canal.
  • a fork-shaped swinging member 55 is pivotally mounted by one of its extremities about an axis at right angles to its plane and parallel to the axis of driving spindle 41. Said swinging member 55 is located between plates 44 and 49, and acts as a coupling member between driving spindle 41 and driven spindle 48.
  • the axle of swinging member 55 is constituted by a screw 56' fixed to a shoulder of the handpiece body 47.
  • the body of the handpiece is formed of three parts made integral with one another by screws, which permits to easily assemble and disassemble said handpiece.
  • Swinging member 55 comprises two parallel legs 57 and 58, between which is a space forming a longitudinal groove adapted to house the two crankpins 45 and 51. To this end, the spacing between the axis of crankpin 45 and that of driving spindle 41 is smaller than the spacing between the axis of crankpin 51 and the axis of driven spindle 48, which substantially coincides with that of driving spindle 41.
  • the swinging member 55 controlled by crankpin 45 will oscillate between two steady positions, viz, as shown in F IG. 2, the position drawn in full line and that drawn in dash and dots.
  • This oscillating movement is transmitted, through crankpin 51 to the driven spindle which oscillates within an angle defined by two axes 59 and 60 corresponding to the extreme positions of swinging member 55, as shown in FlG. 2.
  • the nerve extractor driven by spindle 48 thus alternatively pivots in one direction and in the other direction, by a fraction of a full turn corresponding to the angle between axes 59 and 60.
  • the rotation angle of the instrument is so chosen as to be at most equal to the angle corresponding to its yield strength, in order to avoid any possible breakage.
  • the axis of driving spindle 41 coincides with that of driven spindle 48. According to a further form of embodiment, these two axes no longer coincide but still remain parallel, and it is possible to define the spacing between these two axes as a function of the selected value of the instruments angle of rotation.
  • a handpiece in which the axes of the driving spindle 4 and of the driven spindle 48 make a small angle.
  • the coupling of spindle 41 and spindle 48 make a small angle.
  • the coupling of spindle 41 and spindle 48 is similarly achieved by means of the swinging member 56 which, depending upon the value of the angle between the axes, can be parallel to one of the plates 44 and 49,031 located in a plane which substantially bisects the plane of the two plates.
  • the swinging member is constituted by the plate 49 itself, in which is provided a groove similar to that between the legs 57 and 58 of swinging member 55, said groove being directed towards the axis of driven spindle 48 and adapted to house crankpins 45.
  • the spacing between the axis of crankpin 45 and that of spindle 41 must be smailer than the spacing between the axis of driving spindle 41 and that of driven spindle 48.
  • the present invention is not limited to the above forms of embodiments and several changes can be made therein without going beyond its scope, in particular, as regards the respective positions of the axes of driving spindle and of driven spindle, the nature of the coupling member (a swinging member or a groove in a plate), the respective posi tions of the axes of crank pins and the shape of the hand- I pieces body.
  • FIG. 5 shows the alternate movement effected by a broach which has four rows of very sharp barbs which very effectively scrape the walls of the canal as they progressively enlarge it. It is obvious that this amplitude will vary according to the working surfaces of the dental instrument. Thus if the broach has a continuous working surface, the amplitude of the instrument would be at the most equal to the yield strength of the shaft or to its torsive strength. Otherwise the amplitude is equal to 360 divided by the number of active surfaces of the dental tool.
  • the barbs of the nerve broach are able to be depressed by the canal walls more or less over the length of the stem making the diameter thereof variable. These thin barbs guide the tip of the broach through the curves in the canal and prevent it from directly attacking the canal walls. As this tip is also blunt (neither capable of penetrating nor of cutting) the danger of a false route, of lateral perforation or the creation of a step is avoided.
  • the dental tool used in the present device will be of special steel which is not twisted during manufacture and has not undergone any previous tension.
  • the tip of the broach is inserted in the opening of a canal.
  • the instrument is then started up at an average speed of 3,000 r.p.m. From the beginning the dentist has a very definite tactile appreciation of the penetration. He then gives the broach an up and down movement of growing amplitude 1-3 mm.) about every second. This penetration is followed by the passage of a second and, if necessary, a third broach so as to obtain a canal diameter of sufficient width to accept a paste filler.
