B. aus einer Ni-Ti-Legierung) austauschbar aufgebracht (z. B. übergestülpt, aufgeklebt etc.) wird.instrument for interdental cleaning with elastic support, characterized in that the cleaning Element on the elastic support (eg from a Ni-Ti alloy) exchangeable applied (eg slipped over, glued etc.).
Description
In der modernen Zahnmedizin gewinnt die Interdentalhygiene (Zahnzwischenraumreinigung) zunehmend an Bedeutung. Saubere Interdentalräume sind eine notwendige Voraussetzung für die Vermeidung von Karies und Parodontitis (Zahnfleischentzündung) im Interdentalbereich; dabei ist wichtig, die bakterielle Plaque durch die mechanische Reinigung von den Zahnoberflächen zu entfernen.In In modern dentistry, interdental hygiene (interdental cleaning) is increasingly gaining ground in importance. Clean interdental spaces are a necessary requirement for the Avoidance of tooth decay and periodontitis (gingivitis) in the Interdental area; It is important to get through the bacterial plaque to remove the mechanical cleaning from the tooth surfaces.
Der Interdentalraum ist für die herkömmliche Zahnbürste kaum zugänglich. Die Zahnseide ist ein bekanntes Reinigungsmittel für den Interdentalraum, das allerdings oft eine nur mangelhafte Reinigung ermöglicht.Of the Interdental space is for the conventional toothbrush barely accessible. The dental floss is a well-known cleaning agent for the interdental space, the However, often only a poor cleaning possible.
Dagegen hat sich in den letzten Jahren die Interdentalbürste immer mehr als das Mittel der Wahl für eine zweckmäßige Interdentalreinigung herausgestellt, weil sie der mechanischen Reinigung des Interdentalraumes in seiner Dreidimensionalität am besten gerecht wird.On the other hand In recent years, the interdental brush has always been more than the means the choice for a convenient interdental cleaning exposed because of the mechanical cleaning of the interdental space in its three-dimensionality best meets.
Immer mehr Zahnärzte empfehlen die Anwendung von Interdentalbürsten, und immer mehr Dentalfirmen stellen Interdentalbürsten her.always more dentists recommend the use of interdental brushes, and more and more dental companies make interdental brushes ago.
Gleichzeitig wird gerade auch von den Zahnärzten beobachtet, daß die Anwendung und die Handhabung der Interdentalbürste den Patienten und Anwendern sehr oft Schwierigkeiten bereitet. Denn die richtige Nutzung der Interdentalbürste erfordert ein relativ hohes Maß an feinmotorischer Geschicklichkeit: Für die korrekte Anwendung soll die Interdentalbürste nur leicht gebogen werden; So ist ein typisches Problem dabei das plastische Abknicken des Drahtkerns der Interdentalbürste bei dem Versuch, diese in den Interdentalraum einzuführen. Dieses häufige Problem führt dazu, daß die Motivation der Anwender für die Interdentalreinigung sinkt und oft darauf verzichtet wird.simultaneously is also being used by the dentists observed that the Application and handling of the interdental brush to patients and users very often causes difficulties. Because the right use of Interdental brush requires a relatively high level of Fine motor skills: For the correct application should the interdental brush only slightly bent; Such is a typical problem with that plastic kinking of the wire core of the interdental brush at trying to introduce them into the interdental space. This common problem leads to, that the Motivation of users for the interdental cleaning sinks and is often omitted.
Der im Schutzanspruch 1 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, eine Interdentalreiniger zu schaffen, der keine plastische Abknickung des Interdentalreinigers zulässt und damit eine wesentliche Erleichterung der Anwendung mit sich bringt.Of the in claim 1 protection invention is based on the problem to create an interdental cleaner that does not have a plastic bend of the Interdental cleaner allows and thus brings a substantial relief to the application.
Dieses Problem wird mit den im Schutzanspruch 1 aufgeführten Merkmalen gelöst.This Problem is solved with the features listed in the protection claim 1.
Mit der Erfindung wird erreicht, daß das nötige wiederholte Einführen des Interdentalreinigers in die Zahnzwischenräume durch die Elastizität des Kerns des Interdentalreinigers (z. B. aus einer Ni-Ti-Legierung) ohne eine plastische Abknickung durchgeführt werden kann.With the invention is achieved that the necessary repeated insertion of the interdental cleaner in the interdental spaces by the elasticity of the core of the interdental cleaner (eg of a Ni-Ti alloy) without a plastic bend can be performed.
Da die Elastizität solch eines Interdentalreinigers eine Verdrillung für die Aufnahme von Borsten nicht zuläßt, wird der reinigende Teil des Interdentalreinigers austauschbar strumpfartig auf den elastischen Träger aufgestülpt.There the elasticity such an interdental cleaner a twist for recording of bristles is not allowed the cleansing part of the interdental cleaner interchangeably stocking on the elastic carrier turned up.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist im Schutzanspruch 4 dargestellt. Der elastische Träger des Interdentalreinigers wird in ein passendes schwammartiges Reinigungselement eingeschoben, das durch Friktion und Einrastung von verstärkten Anteilen in eine entsprechende Einkerbung am elastischen Träger festgehalten wird.A advantageous embodiment of the invention is in the protection claim. 4 shown. The elastic carrier of the interdental cleaner becomes a suitable sponge-like cleaning element pushed in by friction and locking of reinforced parts held in a corresponding notch on the elastic support becomes.
