Abstract
Description
l'une des revendications précédentes.one of the preceding claims.
Le secteur technique de la présente invention est celui des outils et instruments dentaires et plus particulièrement The technical sector of the present invention is that of dental tools and instruments and more particularly
celui des sondes parodontales.that of periodontal probes.
On connaît le principe des sondes parodontales qui est de mesurer la profondeur des poches parodontales en faisant pénétrer dans ces poches, entre la gencive et la dent, une We know the principle of periodontal probes which is to measure the depth of the periodontal pockets by making penetrate into these pockets, between the gum and the tooth, a
sonde graduée.graduated probe.
Les inconvénients de ce système résident dans le fait que de telles sondes sont utilisées pour sonder plusieurs poches à la suite, transmettant ainsi les germes d'une poche à l'autre. Un autre inconvénient de ce système réside dans le fait que ces sondes, qui se présentent sous la forme d'un cône, sont généralement métalliques et la pointe métallique est extrêmement dure, ce qui peut endommager l' attache épithéliale. L' invention a donc pour objet une sonde parodontale à usage unique, caractérisée en ce qu'elle comporte un moyen The disadvantages of this system lie in the fact that such probes are used to probe several bags in succession, thus transmitting the germs from one bag to another. Another drawback of this system is that these probes, which are in the form of a cone, are generally metallic and the metallic tip is extremely hard, which can damage the epithelial attachment. The subject of the invention is therefore a disposable periodontal probe, characterized in that it comprises a means
d' identification d'utilisation.use identification.
Avantageusement, la sonde est réalisée en papier, en gutta percha, en matière plastique ou tout autre matériau bio-compatible permettant de fabriquer une sonde à faible coût. Avantageusement encore, le matériau utilisé est suffisamment élastique pour permettre d'effectuer le sondage Advantageously, the probe is made of paper, gutta percha, plastic or any other bio-compatible material making it possible to manufacture a probe at low cost. Advantageously also, the material used is sufficiently elastic to allow the probing to be carried out.
sans blesser la muqueuse au fond de la poche. without injuring the mucous membrane at the bottom of the pocket.
Avantageusement encore, la sonde comporte une ou plusieurs moyens permettant de mesurer la profondeur de la poche. Avantageusement encore, son diamètre et les propriétés mécaniques du matériau dont la sonde est constituée assurent une résistance en pression jusqu'à un point de flexion déterminé permettant ainsi deffectuer un sondage Advantageously also, the probe comprises one or more means making it possible to measure the depth of the pocket. Advantageously again, its diameter and the mechanical properties of the material of which the probe is made ensure pressure resistance up to a determined point of bending, thus making it possible to carry out a probing.
reproductible, quel que soit le praticien. reproducible, regardless of the practitioner.
Selon une caractéristique, la sonde est imprégnée d'un réactif à l'humidité Selon une autre caractéristique, la sonde est imprégnée According to one characteristic, the probe is impregnated with a moisture reagent According to another characteristic, the probe is impregnated
d'un réactif aux bactéries.of a reagent to bacteria.
D'autres caractéristiques, détails et avantages de l' invention apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture du Other characteristics, details and advantages of the invention will appear more clearly on reading the
complément de description qui va suivre de modes de additional description which follows modes of
réalisation donnés à titre indicatif en relation avec des dessins sur lesquels: - La figure 1 représente une sonde parodontale qui mesure realization given as an indication in relation to drawings in which: - Figure 1 represents a periodontal probe which measures
la profondeur d'une poche parodontale. the depth of a periodontal pocket.
- La figure 2 illustre un exemple de réalisation. - Figure 2 illustrates an exemplary embodiment.
Sur la figure 1, qui représente une sonde parodontale graduée venant mesurer la profondeur d'une poche parodontale, on peut voir la sonde 1 glissée entre une dent 3 et la gencive 4 du patient qui vient jusqu'au fond de la poche parodontale 2. Cette sonde est graduée et le praticien peut In FIG. 1, which represents a graduated periodontal probe coming to measure the depth of a periodontal pocket, one can see the probe 1 slid between a tooth 3 and the gum 4 of the patient which comes to the bottom of the periodontal pocket 2. This probe is graduated and the practitioner can
donc lire sur la graduation 5 la profondeur de la poche 2. so read on the graduation 5 the depth of the pocket 2.
L'extrémité de la sonde est de faible largeur. La sonde 1 est ici un cône de gutta percha moulé et gradué. Du fait de l'extrémité arrondie, de la faible dureté de la sonde et de son élasticité, le praticien peut effectuer le sondage de la poche parodontale sans blesser les muqueuses. Lors d'un sondage, le praticien insère la sonde dans la poche, jusqu'à atteindre le fond. Lorsque le fond de la poche est atteint, le praticien ressent une résistance de la sonde. S'il continue à exercer une pression sur la sonde, celle ci va fléchir du fait de sa faible résistance mécanique. Cette 2s caractéristique permet de s' assurer d'un sondage indépendant The end of the probe is narrow. The probe 1 is here a cone of gutta percha molded and graduated. Due to the rounded end, the low hardness of the probe and its elasticity, the practitioner can perform the probing of the periodontal pocket without injuring the mucous membranes. During a survey, the practitioner inserts the probe into the pocket, until it reaches the bottom. When the bottom of the pocket is reached, the practitioner feels resistance from the probe. If it continues to exert pressure on the probe, it will flex due to its low mechanical resistance. This 2s feature ensures an independent survey
de l'habilité de praticien.of the practitioner's ability.
Le mode de réalisation illustré par la figure 2 consiste à réaliser la sonde en papier ou en carton souple. La sonde est réalisée par enroulement d'un triangle de papier ou de carton afin de réaliser un cône. Outre le faible coût et la facilité de réalisation, l'utilisation du papier possède de multiples avantages: souplesse de la sonde, possibilité d'imprimer une graduation millimétrique ou colorée, capacité du papier à absorber le liquide contenu dans la poche afin de 3s l'analyser, possibilité d'imprégner le papier d'un réactif pouvant, par exemple, se colorer en présence de bactéries The embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2 consists in making the probe out of paper or flexible cardboard. The probe is made by winding a triangle of paper or cardboard to make a cone. In addition to the low cost and ease of production, the use of paper has many advantages: flexibility of the probe, possibility of printing a millimeter or colored graduation, capacity of the paper to absorb the liquid contained in the pocket in order to 3s l '' analyze, possibility of impregnating the paper with a reagent that can, for example, be colored in the presence of bacteria
spécifiques ou d'humidité.specific or humidity.
