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: A mouthpiece with which the advancement amount of a lower jaw mouthpiece can be more easily adjusted, without increasing the size of the mouthpiece, is provided. The mouthpiece has: a pair of upper jaw and lower jaw mouthpieces facing each other; a male screw; a female screw; a front holding part provided to one of the mouthpieces, holding the male screw or the female screw; and a rear holding part provided to the other mouthpiece, holding the female screw or the male screw further rearward than the front holding part. The female screw and the male screw position the lower jaw mouthpiece in the front-rear direction with respect to the upper jaw mouthpiece, as a result of the turning of the male screw which is screwed into the female screw at a denture tooth surface or further rearward than the denture tooth surface.

Abstract: In an adjuster for an airway securing device, a base member fixed to one of an upper jaw side attachment body and a lower jaw side attachment body is provided with a base member side half tube part and a slide member fixed to the other of the upper jaw side attachment body and the lower jaw side attachment body is provided with a slide member side half tube part. The base member side half tube part and the slide member side half tube part form a tube part in which an adjusting bolt is disposed on its inner peripheral side. A base member side flange part is formed at a base end of the base member side half tube part and a slide member side flange part shape is formed at a base end of the slide member side half tube part.

Abstract: A stent is formed of a shape-memory alloy and is to be inserted and placed inside a three-dimensional model of a biological organ manufactured for training, under a state in which the stent is mounted on a balloon of a balloon catheter. The stent is expandable under a room temperature environment. When heated to a predetermined temperature higher than room temperature, the stent is contracted until an inner diameter of the stent becomes smaller than an outer diameter of the balloon in a contracted state, and returns to an original shape thereof.
