Abstract

One of the aims of the invention is to provide a dental stabilisation device which prevents a patient, during a dental procedure, from easily releasing their teeth from said device. To this end, the inventor proposes a dental stabilisation block which comprises internal channels that open onto the faces of the dental stabilisation block which come into contact with the patient's teeth. These internal channels are connected to an inlet via which a bite registration material can be injected, said material being intended to harden and be moulded to the patient's teeth. In this way, when the bite registration material has hardened and has moulded around the teeth, it becomes more difficult for the patient to release their teeth from the dental stabilisation block.

A dental stabilization block intended to be bitten, only on one side of a mouth, between upper and lower molars and/or premolars of a patient, called teeth, to keep the patient's mouth open during a dental procedure so as to prevent the teeth from meeting, thereby authorizing access to teeth and/or gums on an opposite side of the mouth and at a front of the mouth, without being substantially hampered by the dental stabilization block, the dental stabilization block comprising:

a body, of essentially parallelepiped shape, which comprises, when the dental stabilization block is in place in the patient's mouth,
an upper wall, having an upper outer tightening surface which is designed to come into contact with the upper teeth, the upper outer tightening surface comprising at least a first outlet orifice,
a lower wall, having a lower outer tightening surface which is designed to come into contact with the lower teeth, the lower outer tightening surface comprising at least a second outlet orifice,
a first side wall which is oriented towards an inside of the mouth,
a second side wall which is oriented towards an inner face of a cheek,
a front end wall which is oriented towards the front of the mouth,
a rear end wall which is oriented towards a back of the mouth,
at least a first inner channel which opens out towards outside of the body at a level of at least the first outlet orifice and/or at least the second outlet orifice, the first inner channel defining a flow path which is configured to be traversed by a bite registration material intended to harden and to be molded at least on the teeth,
at least a second inner channel which opens out towards the outside of the body at a level of an inlet orifice which is configured to receive at least one end portion of a device for injecting the bite registration material, the inlet orifice being disposed on an outer surface of the first side wall and/or the front end wall, and
a first inner junction region which is configured to establish fluid communication between the first inner channel and the second inner channel.
