Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and also to an apparatus
- the invention for measuring the tightness between two contiguous bodies.
- appliances are placed in the mouth to maintain the accomplished result.
- the wearing time of the retentive appliances is successively reduced until
- recovery process is individual, and therefore if the recovery process is not
- US Patents 4,571 ,181 , and 4,664,627 describe mechanical type dental thickness gauges for measuring the spacing between teeth, but such mechanical gauges are relatively inaccurate and generally unsuitable for use
- An object of the present invention is to provide another method and
- the insertion element is forcibly inserted between the two teeth by attaching
- the insertion element is a
- strip of predetermined thickness preferably of stainless steel.
- the peak of the insertion force is preferably measured by one or
- strain gauges It is possible, however, to measure the peak insertion
- Orthod. Dentofac. Orthop. 97; 41-4, 1990 is based on the insertion of a
- the measurements are thus primarily a

- Fig. 3 illustrates typical results obtained when using three of the four
- Fig. 4 illustrates results produced when using a strip of single
- Fig. 5 is a typical strain curve
- Fig. 6 shows an embodiment of a device according to the present
- FIG. 1 there is illustrated one form of
- the instrument illustrated in Fig. 1 includes a holder, generally
- the measurement includes
- the insertion force increases as the insertion element is pushed downward
- Holder 2 includes a manually-graspable handle 10 mounting a U-
- frame 12 includes one or more strain gauges 16 which measures the strain
- the U-shaped frame 12 is constituted of a rod bent into a U-shape
- end extensions 18, 20 of the U-shaped frame serve as attaching elements
- the recording and/or displaying the measured insertion force Preferably, the
- measuring circuit 30 (which may be a Wheatstone Bridge) and the data
- acquisition system 32 are housed within the handle 10 for ease of use of
- the handle 10 ( Figure 6) preferably also includes a power supply 31 and preferably also a suitable display 33 for displaying the
- the one or more strain gauges 16 may be located outside of the one or more strain gauges 16
- handle 10 (as in Figure 1) or may alternatively be located within the
- strip 4a is of 0.05 mm
- strip 4b is of 0.10 mm
- strip 4c is of 0.15 mm
- strip 4d is of 0.20 mm.
- a strip 4 of suitable thickness is selected according to the particular case
- Handle 10 is attached to the ends 18, 20 of the U-shaped frame 12. Handle 10
- the 30 measures the insertion force, preferably including the peak insertion
- Fig. 3 illustrates the results of using the instrument illustrated in
- strip 4 was applied between the same two teeth, i.e., at the same single
- Curve A in Fig. 3 indicates the microstrain (in arbitrary tightness
- curve B indicates the results when the insertion
- Fig. 4 illustrates further typical results when a strip thickness of 0.15
