치과용 장치 및 치과용 장치의 구동 방법Dental devices and methods of driving dental devices
본원은 치과용 장치 및 치과용 장치의 구동 방법에 관한 것이다.The present application relates to a dental device and a method of driving the dental device.
일반적으로 치아관리의 문제점으로 인하여 자주 발생되는 치주질환이란 치아를 지탱하는 치아 주위의 치조골, 잇몸 뼈, 잇몸부위에 염증이 발생되는 것을 의미한다. 이러한 치주질환은 여러 가지 요인에 따라 발생되는 것이나, 대개 구강 내 위생상태가 불량한 경우에 발생되는 것으로, 음식을 섭취하고 남은 음식물의 찌꺼기가 구강 내에 잔류하게 되는 문제로 인하여 구강 내 미생물의 작용에 따라 치주질환이 발생하게 된다.In general, periodontal disease, which occurs frequently due to problems of dental care, means that inflammation occurs in the alveolar bone, the gum bone, and the gum area around the tooth supporting the tooth. These periodontal diseases are caused by various factors, but are usually caused by poor hygiene in the oral cavity. Due to the problem of food residues remaining after ingestion of food in the oral cavity due to the action of microorganisms in the oral cavity Periodontal disease occurs.
치주질환뿐만 아니라 치주 질병의 주요 원인으로는 치아 표면에 지속적으로 형성되는 무색의 세균막인 치태 및 치석의 침착이 있다. 치태는 치석의 전단계에 해당하며 치태에 있는 세균은 잇몸을 상하게 하는 독소와 유리산소를 생성하여 치아를 둘러싸고 있는 조직을 파괴하게 되고, 이에 따라, 잇몸체에 염증이 발생하게 되어 잇몸이 붓거나 피가 나는 질환을 일으킬 수 있다.In addition to periodontal disease, the main cause of periodontal disease is the deposition of plaque and tartar, a colorless bacterial film that is continuously formed on the surface of teeth. Plaque is the preliminary stage of tartar, and the bacteria in the plaque produce toxins and free oxygen that can damage the gums, destroying the tissue surrounding the teeth. I can cause disease.
위와 같은 다양한 형태의 치주질환을 치료하기 위해서는 치주질환의 주 원인인 치태 및 치석등을 제거하거나 치주질환이 발생된 부위를 치료하기 위해 환자가 치과를 방문하여 치료를 이루는 것이 일반적이다.In order to treat various types of periodontal disease as described above, it is common for a patient to visit a dentist to remove plaque and tartar, which are the main causes of periodontal disease, or to treat a site in which periodontal disease occurs.
그러나, 생업이 바쁘거나 거동이 불편한 환자들은 치과진료 및 치료를 위한 병원 방문이 어려운 문제점이 있고, 나아가 치과질환을 방치한 채 시간이 흐르게 되면, 더 큰 질환으로 발전할 수 있는 위험성이 존재한다.However, patients who are busy or uncomfortable with mobility are difficult to visit the hospital for dental care and treatment, and furthermore, if time passes without dental disease, there is a risk of developing a larger disease.
