BG112714A - Collapsible ion hygiene brush and oral cavity treatment procedures - Google Patents

Abstract

The collapsible ion brush is intended for mass use by the humans in their constant care of the dental hygiene and therapy of the oral cavity. It consists of two parts: a universal handle and three working heads (see Fig. 1, Item 1, Item 1.3 , 1.4, 1.5). In the upper section of the universal handle there is located a lighting (see Fig. 1, Item 1.2) and a plate of titanium dioxide (TiO2), (see Fig. 1, Item 1.6). Figure one shows the ready-to-use brush in the lower right corner. After getting wet and turning on the lighting, it is put into action in the oral cavity. The plate of titanium dioxide (semiconductor) produces negative ions (see Fig. 1, Item 1, , Item 1.3), which interact with the plaque on the teeth, the plaque disintegrates and so the teeth are cleaned without mechanical pressure. The light that we use can be white or ultraviolet, or both types at the same time. It is known that ultraviolet rays with a certain light wavelength and acceptable doses have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and other positive properties. Thus, with the brush we can perform dental hygiene, antibacterial procedures and constant care of the oral cavity, on all surfaces and difficult of access places. From what procedure we will perform, we also select the respective mode of operation from the control mounted at the lower end of the handle (see Fig. 1, Item 1, Item 1.1) . The set of working heads includes those with massaging elements (see Fig. 1 Item 1.4, Item 1.5) . With them we can do a massage (deep) on the gums. This massage is a main factor in the prevention and treatment of gingival and paradontal structures in the oral cavity. When using these working heads, the gums gain a pink (healthy) colour. The so designed brush has a wide range of options for current and future dental health and the costs for its maintenance will be lower.

Description

The light we use can be white or ultraviolet, or both. It is known that ultraviolet rays with a certain light wavelength and acceptable doses have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and other positive properties. Thus, with the brush we can perform dental hygiene, antibacterial procedures and current therapy of the oral cavity, on all surfaces and hard to reach places. From what procedure we will perform, we also select the respective mode of operation from the control mounted at the lower end of the handle (see Fig. D, item 1, item 1).

The set of working heads includes those with massaging elements (see Fig. 1, pos. 1.4, pos. 1.5). With them we can do a massage (deep) on the gums. This massage is a major factor in the prevention and treatment of gingival and periodontal structures in the oral cavity. When using these working heads, the gums acquire a pink (healthy) color.

The brush created in this way has a wide range of options for current and future dental health and the costs for its maintenance will be lower.

Prefabricated ionic brush for hygiene and healing procedures of the oral cavity

The invention relates to a prefabricated ionic brush for hygiene and treatment procedures of the oral cavity with built-in lighting. It consists of two parts: a universal handle (see fig.1 pos.1) and a set of working heads (see fig.1 pos.1.3, 1.4, 1.5). The lighting (see Fig. 1, item 1.2) and the titanium dioxide (TiO2) plate (see Fig. 1, item 1.6) are built into the upper part of the universal handle. The working heads are placed in a suitable way in the upper part of the universal handle (see fig.1 pos.1.3), as shown in fig. 1 bottom right. Thus the prefabricated brush is ready for use.

An ionic brush (Japanese) is known, which has a built-in rod of titanium dioxide (T1O2) in the handle, outside the oral cavity. When light falls on the wet

On 1/5 of a stick, negative ions are released, which, falling into the oral cavity, neutralize the dental plaque from the teeth and it disintegrates. The teeth are cleaned without mechanical effort. The disadvantages of this brush are that it has to take a special position with its mouth open against the light source in order to be able to generate an ion cloud to enter the oral cavity. What part of the ion cloud falls into the mouth cannot be determined and whether it is sufficient to perform a quality procedure. The brush is used only for dental and oral hygiene.

The object of the invention is to provide an ionic brush which generates an ion cloud which falls entirely into the oral cavity and does not require a special posture. In addition to hygiene with the brush to perform prophylaxis and treatment procedures of the gums and oral cavity. The problem is solved by creating a prefabricated ion brush, consisting of a universal handle (see Fig. 1 item 1), to which the working heads are coupled (see Fig. 1 item 1.3, 1.4, 1.5). Depending on the design of the brush, a plate of titanium dioxide (TiO2) is placed in a suitable place, which is illuminated. It can be placed in the upper part of the universal handle (see fig. 1 pos. 1, pos. 1.6) or in the base of the working heads (see fig. 1a, pos. 1.3.1, 1.4.1, 1.5.1). The light needed to illuminate the plate may be white or ultraviolet light from an incandescent lamp. In white light, the wavelength of light is from 400 to 700 (four hundred to seven hundred) nanometers (nm), in ultraviolet light from 100 to 400 (from one hundred to four hundred) nanometers. Another light source may be light derived from LEDs: white light with a wavelength of 400 to 700 (from four hundred to seven hundred) nanometers (nm) or ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 10 to 400 (from one hundred to four hundred) nanometers (nm). What kind of light we will illuminate the plate depends on what procedure we will apply and what wavelength of light will be needed. We can brush our teeth by generating a white light ion cloud and a subsequent antibacterial procedure with ultraviolet light. Different combinations are possible, only ultraviolet light can be used for both procedures.

Ultraviolet light with a certain light wavelength and permissible doses is used in medicine for the prevention and treatment of many diseases. Increases the body's resistance to colds of the upper respiratory tract. It is known to cause photobiological processes in the human body the formation of vitamin D. Under the influence of ultraviolet rays affects calcium-phosphorus metabolism. The brush created in this way has a wide range of combinations to meet the needs of dental hygiene, ie. options, which is a significant advantage. When using the brush, in addition to the current prophylaxis, it is also performed preventively, on the teeth and the tooth structures in the oral cavity. With the working heads having massage elements (see Fig. 1, 1a, pos. 1.4, 1.5), an effective deep massage of the gums and periodontal tissues can be performed. The gums acquire a pink (healthy) color.

As a major advantage, it can be said that so far there is no toothbrush with such options on the consumer market.

An exemplary embodiment of the prefabricated ionic brush for hygiene and treatment procedures of the oral cavity is shown in Fig.1 and Fig. 1a. The figures reflect the overall construction of the brush from above and from the side. The figures show what the universal handle is. The batteries for the power supply are placed in the lower part of the handle, in the same part the control is located (see fig. 1 and fig. 1a pos. 1.1). The lighting (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 1a pos. 1.2) and the titanium dioxide plate (see Fig. 1 pos. 1.6) are located in the upper part. In FIG. 1a shows a variant of a universal handle without a titanium dioxide plate, with lighting only. In this case, the titanium dioxide plate is placed at the base of the working head (see Fig. 1a pos.1.3.1, 1.4.1,1.5.1).

The mounting of the working heads to the universal handle is on the principle of the secret button (by fastening) shown in fig.1 and fig. 1a bottom right (pos. 1.3). From what procedure we will perform, the corresponding working head is placed, they are: the working head for brushing teeth (see fig. 1 and fig. 1a pos. 1.3), the working head for brushing teeth and at the same time brushing and massaging the gums ( see Fig. 1 and Fig. 1a pos. 1.4) and working head for massage only (Fig. 1, Fig. 1a, pos. 1.5). In addition to the choice of the working head, we also choose the type of lighting or with what wavelength we will generate the production of the ion cloud (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 1a pos. 1, 1.3). From what kind of light we will use - only white, only ultraviolet or mixed, we can get a different size ion cloud, which is a condition for good hygiene of the oral cavity on all surfaces and hard to reach places. The principle of operation of the prefabricated ion brush is as follows: on a wet embedded plate of titanium dioxide (photosensitive semiconductor), after light, it is converted into negatively charged ions. These ions, falling into the saliva, attract the positive hydrogen ions from the acid in the dental plaque. Thus the acid is neutralized and the dental plaque disintegrates (see Fig. 1 pos.1, 1.3). The hygiene of the teeth, gums and oral cavity is performed with smooth movements of the ionic brush without pressure, or in the most gentle way, without damaging the surfaces. The procedure is performed without the use of toothpaste, it can be placed on the brush quite a bit.

Regular use of the prefabricated ion brush is a guarantee for good current and future dental health. The cost of maintaining it will be relatively low.
