EA037454B1 - Protective cover for dental handpiece - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to medicine, namely to dentistry, and is intended to protect the tissues of an oral cavity during treatment, to increase the safety of dental reception, to increase the infectious safety in a clinic, as well as to reduce the psychological discomfort during a dental reception of children. The technical result of the invention is the creation of the protective cover for a dental handpiece, allowing to prevent trauma to the oral cavity during treatment, to increase the level of infectious safety, and create a favorable emotional background at the dental reception. The claimed technical result is achieved by the creation of the protective cover for a dental handpiece that is a medical product in the form of a thin-walled elastic tube 15-20 cm long with one closed end and an inlet hole at the other end that exactly repeats the shape of the handpiece when put on. The cover is made of latex and differs by a thickening that prevents traumata of the tissues of teeth and is located at a distance of 3 cm from the closed end of the elastic tube, and a round-shaped latex plate with a diameter of 1-3 cm, which is located on a leg 3-4 cm long and soldered at a distance of 12 cm from the closed end of the elastic tube. The presence of the structure of a plate on a leg allows to place a sticker on the plate to distract the attention of a patient during treatment.

Description

The invention relates to medicine, namely to dentistry, and is intended to protect the tissues of the oral cavity during treatment, increase the safety of dental admission, increase the infectious safety in the clinic, as well as reduce psychological discomfort at children's dental admission.

One of the analogues is the protective cover of the dental handpiece [RU 88950 publ. 11/27/2009]. The technical result of the claimed utility model is to increase the reliability of protecting the oral cavity from damage at the time of incomplete stop of the carbon tip nozzle, when it is still in the patient's oral cavity. The disadvantages of this device include the inconvenience of using a massive protective casing located on the head of the tip, which is impossible with insufficient opening of the patient's oral cavity and the small size of the oral cavity, for example, in children.

Other analogs include a protective device for the dental handpiece [RU 104057 publ. 05/10/2011], which is a protective device for an angular dental handpiece, made in the form of a nozzle containing a body with a longitudinal section of a springy material, as well as a protective casing in the form of a hollow volumetric symmetric figure attached to the body, the dimensions of which correspond to the dimensions of the placed in it handpiece heads. The hollow volumetric symmetric figure is made of two parts, one of which is attached to the body so that it is its continuation, and is a volumetric symmetric figure truncated on both sides, and the other is a part of the hollow volumetric symmetric figure, made in the form of a cover with the possibility of its installation on the first part with the help of spring projections along the edge of the lid, placed during the installation of the lid in a groove made on the inner surface of the first part, and a wing-shaped screen is rigidly attached to the lid. The disadvantages of this analogue are not only the above mentioned disadvantages, but also the presence of a wing-shaped screen, which creates a deficit of the working space in the oral cavity.

The prototype is a device for preparing teeth [RU 2011122844 publ. 12/20/2012], containing a cover in which the tip is placed. The cover has a shape that allows the tip to oscillate inside it around the axis at the threaded connection with the pneumatic hose. Contacts are located inside the case so that when the tip is turned by a certain angle, they are closed by the tip surface. The wires from the contacts go to a detachable connection for the possibility of disconnecting the electrical unit from the tool. Wire springs are also fixed inside the sheath that go to the handpiece and set the position of the handpiece without applying a load to the bur in the center of the sheath. The disadvantages of this prototype include both the complexity of the technical device and the inconvenience in the process of use caused by the enlargement of the head of the dental handpiece, which complicates the visualization of the working field and creates additional discomfort for the patient.

Currently, the use of rotary instruments in dentistry is the main method of necroectomy in the treatment of caries, preparation of hard tooth tissues in the process of preparing teeth for the installation of orthopedic structures and performing surgical operations for hemisection of teeth. However, the use of dental handpieces causes anxiety, excitement and fear in the patient. In most cases, this complication, when using this type of instruments, negatively affects the quality of the treatment. Often, in a state of emotional stress, the patient involuntarily clenches his teeth, which can lead to injury to the soft tissues against the dental handpiece body. Most often, a dentist is faced with this problem in the process of treating children. Due to the increased emotionality, children are often afraid of a dental appointment. All these factors indicate the need to create a disposable sterile product that allows, on the one hand, to secure the process of dental treatment, on the other hand, to avoid the patient's fear of dental manipulation, to distract from the treatment process. With all this, this device should not interfere with the doctor in carrying out the necessary manipulations, not worsen the visualization of the working field and not affect the tactile sensations of the dental handpiece.

The technical result of the invention is the creation of a protective cover for a dental handpiece, allowing to prevent trauma to the oral cavity during treatment, to increase the level of infectious safety and create a favorable emotional background at the dental appointment.

The claimed technical result is achieved in the creation of a protective cover (2) for a dental handpiece (1), which is a medical product in the form of a thin-walled elastic tube 15-20 cm long with one closed end and an inlet at the other end, exactly repeating the shape of the handpiece when put on ... The cover is made of latex and differs in that it has a thickening (3), which prevents trauma to dental tissues, located at a distance of 3 cm from the closed end of the elastic tube, and a round-shaped latex plate (5) with a diameter of 1-3 cm, located on the leg ( 4) 3-4 cm long, soldered at a distance of 12 cm from the closed end of the elastic tube. The presence of a structure, which is a plate on a leg, makes it possible to place on a plate

- 1 037454 Wall sticker to distract the patient's attention during treatment.

Description of the drawing

1) Dental handpiece.

2) Protective cover

3) Thickening, preventing tooth trauma

4) Leg of the plate for fixing the sticker.

5) Plate for fixing the sticker.

6) Hole for fixing the bur in the handpiece collet.

The essence of the proposed method is as follows:

1) Before using the dental handpiece, the dental assistant removes the proposed cover from the individual packaging.

2) The cover fits over the dental handpiece.

3) The assistant sticks a standard sticker on the structure for distraction to distract the patient's attention during the treatment.

3) The dentist performs the necessary manipulations with the dental handpiece in a protective cover.

4) At the end of the patient admission, the assistant removes the cover from the handpiece and disposes of it in class B waste.

5) The dental handpiece is treated with an antiseptic.

Due to the presence of a thickening that prevents trauma to the tissues of the teeth, the proposed cover allows you to protect the tissues of the oral cavity during treatment, to increase the safety of dental reception. It becomes possible to increase the infectious safety in the clinic, as well as to reduce the psychological discomfort at the children's dental appointment, due to the presence of an element in the design that allows the patient to focus on it during the treatment process.
