Description

Simple tongue barrier for oral treatment

Technical Field

The utility model belongs to oral treatment equipment field, concretely relates to simple and easy tongue barrier of oral treatment.

Background

With the development and progress of oral medicine and the increasing improvement of living standard of people, the attention of the general public to oral health is continuously improved. However, the fourth oral epidemiological survey result in China shows that the oral problems of children and adults in China are prominent and can not be ignored. On a prophylactic basis, timely oral treatment is essential.

Oral treatment is characterized in that medical care utilizes a plurality of complex and delicate instruments to operate in limited oral space of a patient, and a turbine running at high speed is one of the instruments which are extremely common in oral clinical practice. When the patient is doing the following dentition, the patient needs to pull the soft tissues of the cheek and tongue effectively and repeatedly prescribe not to move easily, except for the treatment of the affected teeth. The tongue is difficult to protect when operated by a single person in clinic due to the characteristics of the special shape and position, autonomy of movement and the like. Meanwhile, the tongue anatomy has abundant blood circulation, and plays an important role in oral sounding, chewing and other functions. If the mucous membrane is damaged, oral ulcer in a short time possibly affects the normal function of the tongue of a patient, brings unpleasant experience to the patient and affects the further implementation of oral treatment. In severe cases, excessive bleeding at the bottom of the mouth may occur, which may result in untimely treatment and suffocation of the patient.

In clinical practice, the tongue is mainly protected by means of precautionary consciousness, active traction and other actions of medical care, and an effective tongue physical barrier is not provided. Most of the tongue barrier devices designed in the past are complex, complex and fine, even comprise more than twenty components, are combined with various functional designs such as heat preservation and moisture preservation, and are comprehensive, but the clinical application is very limited. Meanwhile, in the oral treatment process such as the restoration treatment of the affected teeth, the adjustment (occlusal) treatment and the like, the patient needs to repeatedly open and close the mouth to further check the restoration space or the occlusion state, and the excessively complicated tongue barrier device is complicated in clinical application.
