Abstract

Device comprises a mono-block made using dental prosthesis techniques after making impressions of the upper and lower jaw. The resulting prosthesis in worn in the mouth and has an electronic chip and two plus and minus poles. The poles are used to apply electrical impulses to the mucous membrane in the mouth and vestibulum from a battery.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein elektronisches Gerät zur Behandlung des geschwächten Tonus der Mund, und-oder Gesichtsmuskulatur sowie der geschädigtem, eingeschränkten Nervenfunktionen im Mund, und-oder Gesichtsbereich des Menschen. Es handelt sich um ein Gerät, das elekt­ ronisch regulierte Elektrostimulationen produziert, die einen Einfluß auf die Nervenäste ausüben, die die Muskeln im Mund und-oder Gesichtsbe­ reich innervieren. Es besteht aus einem Monoblock, der individuell nach vorheriger Abdrucknahme des Ober- und Unterkiefers gefertigt wird um dadurch einen exakten Sitz im Mundbereich zu gewährleisten. Der Stoff aus dem der Block besteht, wird in der Zahnheilkunde verwendet und ist folglich geprüft und zugelassen. Der Block ist so anzufertigen, dass die fertigungsbedingten Anwendungsnachteile entfallen und die erzielbaren therapeutischen Ergebnisse gewährleistet werden. Er kann ohne Beden­ ken, wie jede herausnehmbare Zahnprothese auch desinfiziert werden um entstehendes Bakterienwachstum zu verhindern. Er enthält eine e­ lektronische Platine, die Elektrostimulationen auf Pole aussendet, die in Reihen angeordnet sind. Aus diesen Polen, die im direkten oder indirek­ ten Kontakt mit der Mundschleimhaut stehen, werden die Nervenäste der Mund und-oder Gesichtsmuskeln elektrostimuliert. Um schädliche Reaktionen zu verhindern sind die aus dem Block austretenden Pole hartver­ goldet, bzw. aus Legierungen gefertigt, die ebenfalls in der Zahnheilkun­ de verwendet werden. Die elektrische Versorgung ist durch ladbare DC- Batterien gewährleistet.The invention relates to an electronic device for the treatment of weakened tone of the mouth, and or facial muscles as well as the damaged, impaired nerve functions in the mouth, and-or Facial area of man. It is a device that elect Ronically regulated electrical stimulations are produced that have an impact on Exercise the nerve branches that affect the muscles in your mouth and / or face innervate richly. It consists of a monoblock that can be customized previous impression of the upper and lower jaw is made to ensure an exact fit in the mouth area. The fabric the block is made of, is used in dentistry and is therefore tested and approved. The block must be made so that the Manufacturing-related application disadvantages are eliminated and the achievable therapeutic results can be guaranteed. He can do it without hesitation like any removable denture can also be disinfected to prevent emerging bacterial growth. It contains an e electronic circuit board that sends electrical stimulations to poles that are in Rows are arranged. From these poles, the direct or indirect contact with the oral mucosa, the nerve branches of the Mouth and or facial muscles electrostimulated. About harmful reactions  the poles emerging from the block must be prevented goldet, or made of alloys that are also used in dentistry de can be used. The electrical supply is through chargeable DC Batteries guaranteed.

Diese befinden sich an einem dafür vorgesehenen und vorgefertigten Platz im Monoblock.These are located on a designated and prefabricated one Space in the monoblock.

Die Batterien werden über zwei der Pole geladen Alle im Monoblock­ platzierten Teile sind dort wasserdicht eingebettet und verschlossen. Es ist kein Feuchtigkeitseintritt, bzw. -austritt möglich. Die Funktionen des Geräts bestehen darin, dass Elektrostimulationen aus den Polen im feuchten Milieu des Mundes die Nervenendäste über die Mundschleim­ haut aktivieren. Die Elektrostimulationen sind so geregelt, dass keine Ermüdung oder Stress der Mund, und-oder Gesichtsmuskulatur durch Akkumulationen entstehen. Es können so keine elektrisch bedingten Veränderungen der Mundschleimhaut entstehen. Die Vorteile der Elekt­ rostimulation sind die Verhinderung von Muskelatrophien, Förderung des Wiederaufbaus atrophierter Muskulatur sowie durchblutungsför­ dernder und trophisch verbessernder Wirkungen. Dadurch kann eine Straffung der erschlafften Mund und-oder Gesichtsmuskulatur entstehen. Die geschädigten Nervenfunktionen können positiv beeinflusst werden. Die Anwendungsdauer wird individuell bestimmt.The batteries are charged via two of the poles, all in the monoblock placed parts are embedded and sealed watertight. It no moisture entry or exit is possible. The functions of the Device is that electrical stimulation from the poles in the moist environment of the mouth the nerve end branches over the oral mucus activate skin. The electrical stimulations are regulated so that none Fatigue or stress from the mouth, and or face muscles due to Accumulations arise. So there can be no electrical ones Changes in the oral mucosa arise. The advantages of elect rust stimulation are the prevention of muscle atrophy, promotion the reconstruction of atrophied muscles and blood circulation changing and trophic improving effects. This can cause a Firming of the slackened mouth and or facial muscles arise. The damaged nerve functions can be influenced positively. The duration of use is determined individually.
