Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an equine intraoral device. It is intended to predispose the mandible to maintain a position of neutrality conducive to riding in respect of biomechanical and cognitive imperatives essential to the general economy of the body and the well-being of the horse, to be a alternative to the jaws.
  • the horse To adhere to what is proposed to him, the horse must remain permeable to the solicitations of his rider. This is achieved thanks to the bits that allow to maintain an active communication with the horse. This activity becomes penalizing since the horse is no longer able to support the legitimacy of the demands, defends himself by gritting his teeth before stiffening his neck.
  • the embarrassment of the horse comes from his fear not to be able to demobilize his jaw in time for it to find a position of physiological protection, called tonic rest, in which the teeth do not touch. Because of the thresholds that he feels to be exceeded, by clenching his teeth, hoping to protect himself, he becomes the victim of his determination. Hyperactivity on the jaws can only increase the problem. Indeed, these steps lock all the protection systems of the animal organization which, parasitized, exposes itself to its decompensation.
  • the equine intraoral device of the present invention diverts the mind from painful movements and thanks to its inter-incisal plane (1) traversed by pierced reliefs (12) (8) removes dento-dental contacts, materializes and privileges the Neutrality benchmark named free space or postural rest zone, thanks to its posterior bead (13) maintain in respect of animal biomechanical rules the legitimacy of the actions of the bit (s), or is the alternative.
  • the irregularity penalizes the articular capsule of the most requested articulation, it is a source of disturbances at a distance.
  • the same patent application describes a device intended to make the horse receptive to orders in peace.
  • the great thickness of the bead, 1,8 cm, and the inclination of the random specified bead remove all possibilities of isometric contractions of the elevating muscles of the mandible and the distance of the bearing on the posterior wedging are such that the entire neuromuscular and articular balance of the manducatory apparatus is compromised.
  • the posture of the tongue, the salivary swallowing and the isometric contractions of the elevating muscles of the mandible are inseparable from the neuromuscular balance of the whole organism.
  • the tongue becomes hypertonic, distorts the effects of the bit (s), becomes serpentine, or hypotonic and hangs out of the mouth. If the foreign body remains in the mouth, nervousness is the rule.
  • the referenced patent application 2688774 describes a bead preventing closure of the jaws of equines and a clipping system, hooking or any other method used for fixing dental prosthesis on the same teeth.
  • the device of the present invention differs from the application 2688774 in that it covers the hooks (17), in that it has a palatal plane of mucous covering (10).
  • the patent application 2688774 describes a fixation on the teeth by any process used in prosthesis fixation.
  • the device of the present invention differs from the application 2688774 in that it is the interlocking mode which by a certain clearance compensated by the soft friction and balancing proportions h / 1 ⁇ 3 (15) and h / L ⁇ 1 ⁇ 1 (18), determines the positioning and width characteristics 1 of the inter-incisal plane (1), of length L of the palatal mucosal covering plane (10), ensures the stability of the device whose studied relative immobility depends on h / 1 ⁇ 3 (15) and its soft play depends on h / L ⁇ 1 ⁇ 1 (18).
  • the patent application 2688774 describes protuberances on the labial side intended to play the lips to increase the effect of relaxation.
  • the device of the present invention differs from 2688774 in that the forward or backward extension of the inter-incisal plane (1) is under the control of h / 1 ⁇ 3 (15), determines the lips to remain neutral, avoids their play. It is the general inclination of the dental (2) and lateral vestibular prolongations, which externally and in the sense of the height, by deviating from the free edge of the incisors makes spread the lower lip of the inferior one in a constant way, minimizes his play along the extension. The mandibular opening is then optimized in the calm labial and the attention of the horse is increased.
  • the device of the present invention differs from 2688774 in that it comprises a posterior bead (13) or other reliefs (13) situated behind the hooks (17) and in front of the premolars, in that it comprises an inter-incisal plane (1) traversed by pierced reliefs (12) (8).
  • the device of the present invention differs from the published patent 720.226 in that its thinness is sought towards a value which comes to the limit of the height of the free space in order to materialize it. This inter-incisal thickness tends to saturate the height of the free space, tends to 4 mm.
  • the referenced patent 720, 226 does not specify the nature of the covered teeth, the person skilled in the art knows that to improve the methods of chewing, the premololar contacts are mandatory, that the bite plan must impact all teeth. The recovery of all teeth increases dento-dental pressures. Indeed, by globalizing a bearing surface, the personal periodontal proprioception of the teeth disappears and the general masticatory force is considerably increased.
  • the premolar-molar support engages the temporal muscles to contract during the support of the opposing teeth on the premolemolar interposition plate. The premolar-molar overload amplifies the contraction of the elevating muscles of the mandible, enhances the mandibular closure.
  • the device of the present invention differs from 720, 226 in that only the incisors and the canines are covered. This partial covering frees the jaws of premolemary contact. This absence of posterior contacts eliminates dento-dental pressure, invalidates the value of the masticatory coefficient, decreases the masticatory force, inhibits contractions of the temporal muscles, enhances the mandibular opening.
  • the referenced patent 720, 226 describes an embellishment protection whose outer face follows the shape of the teeth, which is serrated to correspond to the divisions between them and allow ordinary skill of the lips between them.
  • the device of the present invention differs from 720, 226 in that it has external external and lateral vestibular surfaces, which, by moving away from the shape of the teeth, deliberately deviate from the free edge of the incisors and hooks, cause an inclination of the outer and outer lateral vestibular surfaces of the dental coverings (2) flowing towards the free edge of the lips, of the same slope for those of the vestibular surfaces of the lateral mucosal extensions in order to cause a decrease in the competence of the lips between them, labial retraction that potentiates the mandibular opening.
  • the referenced patent 720, 226 describes a protection to improve the ways of biting, shaped drawings as sharp as necessary, a sheath that externally follows the orientation of the teeth, partial gingival recovery, random.
  • the device of the present invention differs from the patent 720, 226 in that the entire maxillary or mandibular mucosal vestibular extension (3) covers the alveolar processes and the adjoining gingiva, in that the dental vestibular extension (2), in its external part, or the external lateral parts do not follow the orientation of the teeth, in that all external surfaces are polished, rounded, without a shaped pattern.
  • the upper lip in the horse is prehensile, which is an extremely sensitive organ of the touch, containing specific sensory and motor receptors (point VG 26) ...
  • the external mucosal and dental extensions as they are programmed, characterized and claimed by the present invention challenge the horse, help him to deliver unpleasant situations, the mechanical power of shear is reduced, by transfers or associations of new ideas the device relaxes, deters the horse from biting.
  • the referenced patent 720, 226 describes a protection to reduce the cariogenic risk.
  • saliva contains anti-cariogenic elements, that its fluid presence is essential.
  • the sheath of the device described in the patent 720, 226 isolates teeth from the benefits of salivary activity.
  • the device of the present invention differs from 720, 226 in that the oral fluids can creep below the extensions thanks to the palatal spacings, to be exchanged thanks to the pierced reliefs, that they bathe the dental organs.
  • the referenced patent 720, 226 discloses a guard which is internally shaped to conform to the manner of a dental prosthesis.
  • the device of the present invention differs from the device 720, 226 in that the palatal mucosal extension (10) is spaced from the mucosal surfaces by a minimum value of 5 mm. This spacing is due to the presence of the reliefs located at the intrados of the palatal mucosal covering plane (10), the posterior bead (13), or other reliefs (13).
  • the play of this extension invites the mouth opening, gives softness to the whole, mobilized by its soft play the device dice the opening mandibulaire.
  • the referenced patent 720, 226 describes a sheath whose resilience allows it to be easily removable starting from the back, shaped like a dental prosthesis.
  • the device of the present invention differs from the device 720, 226 in that its retention, its stability and its soft play depend neither on its resilience nor its picking, but on its nesting mode conditioned by the proportions h / 1 ⁇ 3 (15), h / L ⁇ 1 ⁇ 1 (18) and its parameters (h: height of the vestibule at the level of the central incisors, forceps in the horse, including the height of the teeth, alveolar processes up to the anterior vestibular cul de sac, 1: width of the inter- incisor (1) in its sagittal dimension, L: length of the palatal covering plane (10)); nesting mode programmed by playing on these parameters.
  • the device of the present invention differs from the referenced patent 720, 226 in that its disinsertion can not be done from the back to the front. Indeed, the language of the horses has a strong power, great possibilities of sagittal and lateral extensions without comparison with our limited human possibilities; hence the evidence to prevent the device from being removed from the back to the front.
  • the height h of the dento-mucous vestibular extension (2), (3), being three times greater or more than the width 1 of the inter-incisal plane (1) allows the disinsertion to be done only from the front to back.
  • the referenced patent 720, 226 discloses a possible use on the teeth of horses, including that of improving chewing without mentioning other characteristics than those that can be exploited in humans.
  • chewing in horses lasts between 16 and 18 hours per day.
  • the continuous growth of the horses' teeth is compensated by the wear caused by chewing.
  • the protection proposed by the device of the patent 720, 226 This would prevent this wear from occurring and rapid tooth erosion would cause an unbearable overocclusion for the horse.
  • the device of the present invention differs from the patent 720, 226 in that its time of use being done only during the equestrian times, periods except meal, remains without influence on the dental égression.
  • the set of characteristics disclosed by the patent 720, 226 are not transposable on the teeth of horses can not potentiate the mandibular openings or boost the mandibular bilaterality. Because of the essential differences between the masticatory apparatus of our two species, these differences mean that if generalities can be universalized, specific corrigatives must control particularisms.
  • the purpose of the device of the present invention is to eliminate the problems denounced above; to provide an inter-incisal plane (1) traversed by pierced reliefs (12) (8) whose thickness is at the limit of the value of the free space; whose inclination blends perfectly with the incisive occlusal plane, stimulates the mandibular bilaterality, and allows the tongue to perform its function of swallowing.
  • the nociceptive reflex of inhibition of the trigeminal nerve can take place, reduces the intensity of the contractions of the temporal muscles, releases the organism from the muscular hypertonicities which disorganize it; to provide a posterior bead (13) or other reliefs (13) located at the rear of the incisors and in front of the premolars whose overall height is the sum of the height of the enclosed canines and an added value which depends on the felt of each horse but always higher than the height of the postural field of rest therefore of the inter-incisal plane (1).
  • the posterior bead (13) or other reliefs (13) included in the underside (16) of the posterior palatal covering (10) oversized relative to the free space does not cause any physiological disturbance because of the presence of the diastems separating the premolar wedges at the level of both maxillae in horses (equine peculiarity).
  • the posterior bead (13) or other reliefs (13) primarily participate in potentiating the mandibular opening through the mental representation of the new sensation they provide against the tongue.

  • the device comprises as a second characteristic the obligation to insinuate itself in limit of the value of the free space.
  • This postural rest field is genetically programmed in each animal species. It is around 4 mm in equines. It is determined in time when the contractions of the elevating muscles of the mandible perfectly compensate those of the lowering muscles (digastrics).
  • a myotatic reflex of occlusal release materialized by the free space of 4 mm which puts at rest the musculo-tendinous system of the maxillae necessary to maintain the harmony between the different systems of the general organization of the animal.
  • the device has as its third characteristic its relative immobility on the incisal block and / or incisivo-canine. Indeed, the physiological obligation to swallow saliva periodically requires the hyoid bone (tongue bone) to provide a fixed posterior anchoring point so that the tongue can perform its specific movement of swallowing. This fixity depends on a firm and stable support of the dental arches between them, support determined on the inter-incisal plane (1) thanks to the end-to-end occlusion, an equine specificity.
  • the device comprises, as a fourth characteristic, the obligation to respect the inclination of the incisive (reference) occlusal plane.
  • the thickness of the incisal plane (1) must be identical on the 6 incisors. Indeed, when the 6 antagonistic teeth meet the device, the support must be distributed equally.
  • the muscular engagement of the elevating muscles must be isotonic and isochronous so as not to disrupt the symmetry of the support and to ensure decompression of the temporomandibular joints equivalent to right and left during the disengagement.
  • the device comprises as a fifth characteristic a palatal plane of mucous covering (10) when it is maxillary. This prolongation encourages the opening of the mandible to manifest.
  • the intrados of the plane (16) can be covered with half balloon shapes and its posterior edge (11) is embellished with a posterior bead (13) more or less high protruding transversely at the level of the bars in the space between incisors and premolars, in contact with the palatal mucosa. They potentiate the mandibular opening. Their heights depend on the feeling of each horse. The height of the posterior bead (13) is always greater than the thickness of the inter-incisal plane (1).
  • the palatal mucosal recovery plan (10) stimulates the organ of Jacobson (flehmens associated with its mouthing), saturates the arteriovenous and / or nervous system of this organ, calms whole males.
  • the posterior bead (13) allows the horse to make a mental representation of his mandibular closure, the path and the imminent arrival of the incisal contact on the incisal plane (1). So, after this spotting, it is possible for him to stop closing before finishing this action; (search for lightness in riding).

  • the device has as an eighth characteristic a soft-friction dento-mucous friction to avoid proprioceptive avoidance or rejection reactions. Indeed, any foreign body in the mouth is a nuisance to which the horse can adapt only if the comfort provided is superior to the interference.
  • the device comprises as a ninth characteristic a perfect adaptation of its reliefs and internal recesses corresponding to those on which it is based. Its internal sculpture faithfully reproduces the dental contours, the interdental spaces, the alveolar processes, the undercuts. This dental adjustment depends on the retention of the device.

It must exceed the line of greatest contour (14) of their profiles to remain stable.
  • the device comprises as a twelfth characteristic adequate elasticity conferred thanks to good flexibility and high strength of the material. It must not crack or tear when the opposing teeth reach the bite plane even if the mechanical stresses are frequent and powerful.
  • the device comprises, as thirteenth characteristic, a biocompatibility obligation with the mucous tissues. It must be non-cytotoxic, non-genotoxic and hypoallergenic. It must not be able to degrade easily under usual conditions.
  • the device comprises, as the fourteenth characteristic, an inter-incisal plane (1) formed of several sub-layers fused to one another to obtain the ideal thickness.
