Abstract:
Objective To develop a new-type animal dental stent for the experiment of canine pulp regeneration.Methods The stent was composed of an upper support frame,an oral limit bracket and a lower support frame,which were aligned from top to bottom.A sleeve joint was made for the connection structure of the bracket,and the height and the width both could be adjusted to adapt to different animals' mouths.The rubber dam could be spread into tension and concave form by rotating the upper and lower support frames' ends.Results By resizing the animal dental stent based on the structure of animal facies maxillaris,medical staffs could proceed the examination and treatment to animals effectively,including the throat examination,oral examination,oral care,dental treatment (such as root canal therapy and dental filling) and other medical behaviors.Conclusion The experimental result shows the feasibility of utilizing the stent in the process of animal experiment or diagnosis and treatment.Moreover,the stent proves the capacity in protecting the soft tissue,widening the vision of operation field,getting rid of the saliva contamination,which is worthy popularizing in animal experiments and animal medical care.
