Abstract
An x-ray film holder is provided to attach to a dental simulation model and to support an x-ray film. The x-ray film holder includes a base with a releasable contact fastener for attaching the dental simulation model thereto. The x-ray film holder also includes a support member to releasably hold an x-ray film. The support member can be configured as an adjustable support member for accommodating x-ray films of various film thicknesses.
Claims24
A radiolucent x-ray film holder comprising:
- a base member that includes:
- a substantially planar surface to receive a dental simulation model, and
- a releasable contact fastener positioned proximate the planar surface to releasably fasten the dental simulation model to the base member;
- and
- a support member connected to the base member, the support member including a support fastener to releasably support an x-ray film.
A dental x-ray training system comprising:
- a dental simulation model that includes at least one sextant having a first fastener;
- and
- an x-ray film holder that includes:
- a first member having a second fastener, wherein the second fastener operatively engages the first fastener to releasably and adjustably fasten the sextant to the first member, and
- a second member connected to the first member and configured to receive and releasably support an x-ray film, and wherein the second member includes a radiopaque marker.
A holder for supporting a dental simulation model and a film comprising:
- a base that includes:
- a substantially planar surface to receive the dental simulation model,
- a releasable contact fastener positioned proximate the planar surface to releasably fasten the base to the dental simulation model, and
- a first support member connected to the planar surface;
- and
- an extension slidably connectable with the base, the extension including a second support member that operatively engages with the first support member to releasably support the film.
A dental x-ray training system comprising:
- a dental simulation model that includes at least one sextant having a first fastener;
- and
- a holder that includes:
- a first member having:
- a second fastener that operatively engages the first fastener to releasably and adjustably fasten the sextant to the holder, and
- a first support extending from the first member, and
- a second member slidably connectable with the first member, the second member including a second support that operatively engages with the first support to releasably support a film.
A radiolucent device comprising:
- a base configured to releasably receive and fasten to a dental simulation model;
- and
- an adjustable clamp connected to the base to secure the base to an x-ray film, the adjustable clamp including a radiopaque marker configured between the dental simulation model and the x-ray film.
