摘要:
A method includes capturing images at a device and analyzing the images at the device using a first analysis model to obtain information regarding an observed object that corresponds to a predetermined object. The method also includes determining whether the information regarding the observed object is consistent with stored mapping information, and, in response to determining that the information regarding the observed object is not consistent with the stored mapping information, modifying the stored mapping information based on the observed object.

摘要:
A dental device for removing saliva and retracting the tongue comprising a retraction unit (22) having a tongue shield (28). A bite handle (30) is connected to the tongue shield (28) to stabilize the unit (22), and is held between the biting teeth. At least one tube holder (36) is secured to the tongue shield (28) adjacent to a rearmost molar tooth, and a suction tube (24) is attached to each tube holder (36). A Y-tube adapter (26) may be used to connect two suction tubes (24) with a single conventional fitting of the operatory suction system. A method for removing saliva and retracting the tongue within an oral cavity including retraction with a tongue shield (28), and stabilizing the tongue shield (28) with a bite handle (30). The method further includes removing saliva along a tube holder (36) secured to the tongue shield (28) adjacent to a rearmost molar tooth.
摘要:
The present invention is a device (18) and method for applying posteriorly directed pressure to a patient's upper posterior tooth, and anteriorly directed pressure to the lower teeth and lower jaw (50). The device includes a tooth attachment (22) fixed to a lower posterior tooth. A mounting base (20) is connected to the tooth attachment, and serves to mount a bumper unit (62), which extends from the lower posterior tooth to the upper posterior tooth. The bumper unit includes a bite bumper (32), for contacting the upper tooth. In the patient's retruded or uncorrected jaw position, the obstruction surface (38) of the bite bumper strikes the occlusal surface (41) of the upper posterior tooth, obstructing full closure of the jaws. Because this obstruction causes discomfort to the patient, the lower jaw is protruded into the forward or corrected jaw position. During protrusion, the bite bumper slides forwardly and upwardly into the adjacent opening (54) immediately anterior to the upper posterior tooth. The functional pressure generated by this jaw posture urges the upper posterior tooth in a posterior direction and the mandibular jaw in a forward direction. Over a period of time, the dental bite and jaw position become stable in the corrected jaw position.
