Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dental image display mechanism provided for dental treatment.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a dentist carries out medical treatment, a doctor or an assistant is required each time to obtain necessary data such as medical record data, image data, insurance data and medical image information. There are inconveniences that it takes time to collect required information from a place or set a display device, and it is not possible to view data within the same field of view.

[0003]

By the way, with the progress of computerized information processing in recent years, a computer terminal or a desktop computer is placed in the dental treatment device or its vicinity and input to the input device on the spot between medical treatments. As a result, there has been a demand for an information transmission means by which data of various patients can be obtained. In addition, it is becoming more and more desirable for a doctor to explain a treatment area to a patient while showing an image of the inside of the oral cavity by using a CCD camera or the like in dental treatment. Further, in order to prevent a doctor from giving a pain or fear to a patient at the time of medical treatment, a means to distract him / her by TV, video and audio has been desired.

[0004]

In order to solve these problems in the present invention, there are provided an information recording means for recording dental treatment information and an image display means comprising an image display section on a spectacles type holding member. It is characterized in that the recorded information from the information recording means is transmitted to the image display means via the connection means via the command selection means, and in the above, instead of the eyeglass type holding member, a helmet type holding member. Is also used, and preferably each of the holding members is provided with headphones. Specifically, the eyeglass-type holding member has a see-through portion facing both eyes, a cutout portion provided in the middle thereof for engaging the nose head, and a hooking rod for hooking on both ears. The helmet-type holding member includes a see-through portion having an image display portion on the cap body. The image display unit includes a liquid crystal display, a lens and a half mirror, and the information recording unit includes at least one of a CCD camera and a computer. Further, in order to relieve the pain and fear of the patient, an entertainment electric transmission means is provided in addition to the information recording means. Specifically, the entertainment transmission means includes at least one of a television tuner and a video.

[0005]

When the doctor or the patient wears the spectacles-type holding means on the face or the helmet-type holding member on the head and operates the command selecting means in this state, the required information recording means outputs the necessary dental treatment information. The image signal and the audio signal are input to the image display section and the headphones of the holding means, the doctor or the patient can capture the dental treatment information within his or her own field of view, and when both the doctor and the patient wear the holding means, Both can capture dental treatment information in the same field of view. Also, by selecting the entertainment transmission means, those images and sounds can be viewed and heard.

[0006]

1 is a general view showing the basic construction of a dental image display mechanism, in which an image display means A has a notch 2 which engages with the nose head between a transparent portion 1 and a transparent portion 1 facing each eye. And a half-mirror 5, a lens 6, a liquid crystal display 7 and headphones 8, 8 on a spectacle-type holding member 4 having locking rods 3, 3 that can be hooked on the ears on both sides. By using this, doctors and patients can see data and images floating in the same field of view as they are seeing, and also hear audio. You can Further, when the user is not looking at an image or the like, he or she can see a normal field of view as if he / she were wearing sunglasses.

Further, this mechanism is provided with a television tuner 11 and a video 12 as a means for transmitting electric power for entertainment, and a CCD camera 1 as a recording information means for recording dental treatment information.
3. In addition to the computer 14, the video board 15 for inputting the video signal of the computer 14, the audio board 16 for inputting the audio signal of the computer 14, and the liquid crystal drive circuit 1
Equipped with 7.

Therefore, the TV tuner 11 and the video 1
2. The respective image signals a from the CCD camera 13 and the video board 15 are projected on the liquid crystal display 7 through the liquid crystal drive circuit 17 through the image line 18 and the connecting means 19, and the image thereof is reflected by the lens 6 and the half. It can be seen through the mirror 5 and each audio signal b passes through the audio line 20 and via the connecting means 21 the headphones 8
You can listen to the desired voice by typing into.

Therefore, when the doctor or the patient wears the spectacles type holding member 4 on the face and operates the command selecting means 22 in this state, the dental care information recorded in the CCD camera 14 to the computer 14 is converted into an image signal. And audio signals are transmitted via the lines 18 and 20, respectively, to the liquid crystal display 7
And input to the headphones 8 so that the doctor or the patient can capture the image within his or her field of view while listening to the sound.

Further, when both the doctor and the patient wear the holding means 4, the same image and sound can be captured within the common field of view of both, so that the doctor can explain the medical condition to the patient.

Furthermore, when the TV tuner 11 to the video 12 are selected by the command selecting means 22, the image signal a to the audio signal b pass through the image line 18 and the audio line 20, respectively, and these are connected via the connecting means 19 and 21. Input to the liquid crystal display 7 or headphones 8. FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the mechanism of the present application, and this embodiment shows a case where the holding member D is formed in a helmet shape.
That is, the helmet-shaped cap body 25 is provided with a see-through part 27 having an image display part 26 composed of the liquid crystal display, a lens and a half mirror described above, and headphones 28 at a position facing both eyes. The body 25 is vertically tiltably attached to the headrest C of the dental treatment chair B via the support shaft 29, and its operation is basically the same as that of the first embodiment.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, dental treatment information such as various data and images can be captured within one's own visual field or within the same visual field between a doctor and a patient during medical treatment as needed. Therefore, the doctor can explain the treatment area to the patient while looking at the image, which is extremely rational and effective for dental treatment. Particularly, according to the configuration of claim 5, it is possible to prevent cutting powder of teeth from adhering to the face, and according to the configuration of claim 6, since the holding member does not touch the head, the patient The present invention has advantages such as no fear of giving discomfort or burden to the user. Further, according to the ninth and tenth aspects of the present invention, since the electronic means for entertainment is provided, it is possible to see the image by the means. Since it is possible to listen to the voice, it is convenient because it can relieve the pain and fear of the patient during the treatment.
