Abstract:
A dental coupling member related comprises: a first elongated body including, in a first-orientation end region, a first coupling part to be coupled with a first attaching part of a first dental appliance and including, formed in a second-orientation end region, a screwing part; an outer tube including, in a second-orientation end region, a second coupling part to be coupled with a second attaching part of a second dental appliance, and being open at an end on a first-orientation end region side; a third elongated body including a screwed part formed in a first-orientation end region and is inserted into the outer tube in a second-orientation end region of the outer tube, the screwed part being for screwing with the screwing part; and a protrusion projecting from an inner peripheral surface of the outer tube and facing an end surface of the third elongated body on the second-orientation end region side.
Abstract:
A dental coupling member related to a first aspect of the invention comprises: a rod having, at one end region, a first coupling part that is coupled to a first attachment part of a first dental tool, and having a screw part at the other end region; and a cylindrical body having, in an inner circumferential surface of one end region, a screwed part into which the screw part is screwed, and having, at the other end region, a second coupling part that is coupled to a second attachment part of a second dental tool. This dental coupling member comprises a different-torque part at the screw part and/or the screwed part, the different-torque part having a different torque for screwing against the other of the screw part and the screwed part. This dental coupling member suppresses the occurrence of loosening between the screw part and the screwed part.
Abstract:
The present invention addresses the problem of providing: a mouthpiece having a shape that adequately conforms to the teeth rows, etc., of a user, the mouthpiece having an excellent feel during wearing; and a method for manufacturing the mouthpiece. A mouthpiece for solving the abovementioned problem includes a mouthpiece body part having a hard section, which has a groove for accommodating the teeth rows and/or the gums, and a soft section, which contains a material having a lower bending elasticity than that of the hard section. The proportion of the maximum thickness of the soft section to the minimum thickness of the soft section is 5 or greater.
Abstract:
The present invention addresses the problem of providing a mouthpiece that has an excellent fit and that is not prone to breakage or deformation. This mouthpiece for solving the above problem has: a pair of mouthpiece body parts configured from an upper-jaw mouthpiece body part mounted to the upper jaw, and a lower-jaw mouthpiece body part mounted to the lower jaw; a positioning member for restricting rearward displacement of the lower-jaw mouthpiece body part; and a support part that is disposed between the positioning member and the body parts and that supports the positioning member, so as to cover a portion of a surface that faces a surface of the upper-jaw mouthpiece body part and/or the lower-jaw mouthpiece body part that is mounted to a tooth row, the support part including a material that has a different flexural modulus than the mouthpiece body parts.
Abstract:
An oral appliance may include a first jaw retainer piece, a second jaw retainer piece, a holding member, and a rod. The holding member may be mounted on a front-facing portion of the first jaw retainer piece, and have an opening for receiving a rod. The rod may have a leading end slidably inserted into the opening of the holding member and a trailing end mounted on a front-facing portion of the second jaw retainer piece. The oral appliance may further include a restrictor that restricts sliding of the rod relative to the holding member.
Abstract:
A mouthpiece includes a maxillary piece that is mounted to maxillary dentition, a mandibular piece that is mounted to mandibular dentition, a coupling member that positions the mandibular piece with respect to the maxillary piece, and a spacer. The spacer includes an anchor portion that includes an indentation and that is formed at an inner wall face of the maxillary piece, a protrusion that is fit into the indentation of the anchor portion, and a clamped portion that is clamped between the maxillary piece and the mandibular piece.
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for efficiently producing an olefin (co)polymer containing a constituent unit derived from 1-butene, the (co)polymer having a molecular weight that is sufficiently high even for high temperature conditions that are beneficial for industrial production methods. This purpose can be achieved by means of a method for producing an olefin (co)polymer containing a constituent unit derived from 1-butene, wherein at least 1-butene and, if necessary, an α-olefin having 2 or more carbon atoms (excluding 1-butene) and other monomers are (co)polymerized in the presence of an olefin polymerization catalyst that contains (A) a crosslinked metallocene compound represented by general formula [I] and (B) at least one type of compound selected from among (b-1) an organic aluminum oxy compound, (b-2) a compound that forms an ion pair upon a reaction with the crosslinked metallocene compound (A), and (b-3) an organic aluminum compound, at a polymerization temperature of 55-200° C. and a polymerization pressure of 0.1-5.0 MPaG.
