Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of oral cavity clinical instruments for children, in particular to a digital design full-casting type clearance retainer and a manufacturing method thereof.

Background

In the process of growth and development of children, because of serious caries, periapical periodontitis, abnormal eruption, congenital deficiency or trauma and the like, the deciduous teeth are usually fallen off or pulled out too early. When deciduous teeth are prematurely lost and permanent teeth can not be erupted in a short period, if gap maintenance is not performed, adjacent teeth on two sides are obliquely displaced towards the gap side, so that the gap between the deficient teeth is reduced, permanent teeth eruption obstacle or ectopic eruption occurs, and even jaw deformity is caused. Therefore, measures are required to maintain the edentulous space for a long period until new permanent teeth erupt. The most widely used method of maintaining the gap is to wear the gap retainer.

The most common prior art is a ring wire coil type of gapping cage, which is formed by welding preformed rings and bent wires. The manufacturing steps of the ring-belt wire ring type clearance retainer are complicated, and the manufacturing steps comprise ring trying, impression taking, plaster model making, clearance retainer designing and manufacturing on the plaster model and the like. Wherein, the trial belt loop and the mould taking are operated and finished in the mouth of the infant, which often causes the discomfort of the infant, and part of the infant can have the condition of nausea, vomiting and even refusal of treatment, thus increasing the difficulty of clinical operation. The alginate material used to make the impression has limited accuracy and is easily deformed, which may result in a decreased accuracy of the plaster model. The gap retainer manufactured by using an inaccurate plaster model has poor matching with the oral anatomical structure of a child patient, and cannot accurately maintain the gap of the missing teeth. Sometimes, the patient can be put on the medical device only after being repeatedly modified, thereby reducing the clinical operation efficiency. In addition, the preformed belt ring and the abutment form can not be completely matched and are easy to deform, and the problems that gum inflammation is caused by pressing gum, bonding failure is caused by overlarge gap between the belt ring and the abutment, gap maintaining failure is caused by deformation of the belt ring and the like can occur in the using process. And the welding part of the steel wire and the belt ring can also be subjected to false welding or poor welding, so that the steel wire falls off, the preservation of gaps is affected, and even the falling steel wire enters the digestive tract or the respiratory tract. The bent steel wire is mostly in line contact with adjacent teeth, is easy to shift and is not beneficial to accurately maintaining the gap between the missing teeth.

The oral cavity-worn space retainers are subjected to repeated multi-directional forces from tongue, occlusal force, buccinator and the movement of the teeth themselves during occlusion during oral movement, and the space retainers are usually used for more than one year, and some space retainers may be used for more than 5 years. In contrast, in the conventional gap retainers, different parts are often connected by using a welding technique, and the welded portions may be detached under repeated complicated stress, resulting in failure of gap retention. Therefore, there is a strong need for a new space maintainer which is relatively simple in clinical operation, less prone to damage, conforms to the tooth morphology, has less irritation to the gum tissue, and is in stable contact with the adjacent tooth surface.
