DEVICE OF COMPUTERIZED DENTAL MEASUREMENT AND MEASURING METHOD USABLE WITH SAID DEVICE

摘要

This device comprises a measuring clamp (1) for teeth (20) and dental spaces (21), comprising a set of mobile arms (2) ending in some exploration extremities (3), which exploring displacement along the teeth (20) and dental spaces (21) determines the joint displacement of the mobile arms (2). A transducer (11) turns the relative displacement movement between mobile arms (2), into signals (25) expressing the positional parameters (23) determined by that movement, and, upon being connected to a computerized system (30), it transmits the signals (25) for their processing as measurement parameters (23). The transducer system (10), that may be analogue and/or digital, may have a manual driving means (12) in the measuring clamp (1). The invention is also related to a measuring method through which steps the exploration extremities (3) are arranged in the teeth (20) or dental spaces (21), the measurement is performed and the sequence is repeated, as many times as needed until completing the measurement. The measuring method comprises a series of steps through which the measuring clamp (1) is applied to the teeth (20) or dental spaces (21), the measurement is performed, it is confirmed that the measurement data (25) has entered the computerized system (30), and the form fields which sequentially appear available, repeating the corresponding steps, as many times as needed until completing the measurement.

主权项

1. DEVICE OF COMPUTERIZED DENTAL MEASUREMENT, which is intended to measuring teeth and different dental spaces, with computerized management of said measurement, comprising:
Measuring instruments of said teeth, Connection means to a computerized system able to process information, such as a computer, alone or associated to local or remote data networks, through any means of communication,wherein it comprises:
A measuring clamp which comprises a set of mobile arms, Said set of mobile arms ending in each exploration extremities prepared to recognize teeth and dental spaces, so that the exploring displacement of said extremities determines the joint displacement of said mobile arms, At least one transducer which turns the relative displacement movement between the mobile parts of said measuring clamp, into signals that match the positional parameters determined by said relative displacement, Connection means by which said measuring signals are transmitted to computerized systems prepared to process them; and Record driving means of said positional parameters.
