Description

"MEDIDOR DE ESPESSURA DE OSSO E "BONE THICKNESS METER AND
GENGIVA". GUM".
A presente patente de invenção tem por objetivo um medidor de espessura de osso e gengiva, para uso em consultórios odontológicos, com vistas a obter no próprio consultório a medida da espessura óssea e espessura gengival concomitantemente e baratear os custos do tratamento com implantes dentários. The purpose of the present invention is a bone and gum thickness gauge for use in dental offices to obtain concomitant measurement of bone thickness and gum thickness in the office itself and to lower the cost of dental implant treatment.
O único método utilizado para a obtenção da medida da largura óssea bucal tem sido a tomografia computadorizada que através dos raios X incididos no osso e processados por computadores, fornecem valores da largura do osso bucal.  The only method used to obtain the buccal bone width measurement has been the computed tomography that, through the x-rays taken on the bone and processed by computers, provide values of the buccal bone width.
O valor referente à largura óssea bucal é crucial para o planejamento da cirurgia de implantação do parafuso de titânio, ou seja, o sucesso da cirurgia depende deste valor.  The value regarding the buccal bone width is crucial for the planning of the titanium screw implantation surgery, that is, the success of the surgery depends on this value.
O problema da tomografia computadorizada é que a máquina que o faz, os tomógrafos, têm valor muito alto e, portanto não ficam disponíveis em consultórios odontológicos, assim os pacientes tem de se deslocar para a clínica de imaginologia e desembolsar, em média, mais de 15% do tratamento com implantes para obter essa mensuração óssea além de receber irradiação para que seja feita então a tomografia.  The problem with computed tomography is that the machine that makes it, the tomographs, have very high value and therefore are not available in dental offices, so patients have to go to the imaging clinic and shell out on average more than 15% of implant treatment to obtain this bone measurement, besides receiving irradiation for tomography.
Tendo em vista esses problemas foi desenvolvido um medidor de espessura de osso e gengiva, objeto da presente invenção, o qual consiste em um paquímetro digital tradicional o qual foi acoplado, por solda metálica, uma sonda milimetrada odontológica de cinco mm com ponta afilada em cada face para medição externa de modo que toquem suas pontas, assim representando a distância em milímetros de valor zero revelada no display digital de LCD. Quando na boca, suas sondas penetram à gengiva e tocam o osso, previamente anestesiados e, cada uma das sondas, por meio de suas marcações milimétricas ao longo de si, mostra ao cirurgião-dentista a espessura da gengiva, dados esses não revelados pela tomografia computadorizada. In view of these problems, a bone and gum thickness gauge, object of the present invention, was developed, which consists of a traditional digital caliper which was coupled, by metal welding, with a 5 mm tapered-tip dental probe on each end. face for external measurement so that they touch their tips, thus representing the distance in millimeters of zero value revealed on the digital LCD display. When in the mouth, their probes penetrate the gum and touch the bone, previously anesthetized and each probe, through its millimeter markings along itself, shows the dentist the thickness of the gum, data not revealed by tomography. computerized.
Quando as pontas das sondas tocam o osso, o display digital revela a distância entre as pontas, ou seja, a espessura de osso naquela região com precisão de 0,0 mm. When the probe tips touch the bone, the digital display reveals the distance between the tips, ie the bone thickness in that region to within 0.0 mm.
Sugere-se então que os dados de medidas sejam arquivados em um desenho esquemático de anatomia ósseo-gengival previamente impresso, para que possam ser analisados posteriormente para planejamento cirúrgico. It is then suggested that the measurement data be archived in a schematic drawing of previously printed bone and gingival anatomy, so that they can be analyzed later for surgical planning.
O desenho anexo mostra a disposição em medidor de espessura de osso e gengiva, objeto da presente invenção, no qual: The attached drawing shows the bone and gum thickness gauge arrangement of the present invention in which:
