Description
DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION
La presente invenzione riguarda un apparato e un metodo per la personale igiene orale quotidiana, che consenta di rimuovere dal cavo orale residui, placca e tartaro con estrema efficacia e facilit?, pur con modesta invasivit?. The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for personal daily oral hygiene, which allows residues, plaque and tartar to be removed from the oral cavity extremely effectively and easily, albeit with modest invasiveness.
Com?? noto, una buona pulizia orale ? indispensabile per la salvaguardia da carie e da altre malattie dentali e gengivali. How?? known, a good oral cleaning ? essential to protect against tooth decay and other dental and gum diseases.
Nel settore degli ausili per la pulizia orale domestica figurano attrezzi di sfregamento (spazzolini, scovolini, filo interdentale ... ), eiettori d?acqua, dentifrici e collutori. In the domestic oral cleaning aids sector there are scrubbing tools (toothbrushes, interdental brushes, dental floss ... ), water ejectors, toothpastes and mouthwashes.
Tali sistemi, tuttavia, non sono in grado di rimuovere con la necessaria efficacia i materiali estranei dal cavo orale, particolarmente a causa della loro consistenza ed ostinata adesione ai tessuti organici, per la complessa conformazione del cavo orale, con presenza di fessure e cavit?, e per la ridotta accessibilit? e visibilit?. However, these systems are not able to remove foreign materials from the oral cavity with the necessary effectiveness, particularly due to their consistency and stubborn adhesion to organic tissues, due to the complex conformation of the oral cavity, with the presence of fissures and cavities. , and for the reduced accessibility? and visibility.
Nella bibliografia brevettuale si riscontra il sistema illustrato nel documento DE3726349A1, che presenta significativi inconvenienti. In the patent bibliography we find the system illustrated in document DE3726349A1, which has significant drawbacks.
Il primo riguarda la grandezza eccessiva dell'ugello di aspirazione, non dichiarata ma calcolabile dal disegno in circa 2 mm di diametro. The first concerns the excessive size of the suction nozzle, not declared but calculable from the drawing in about 2 mm in diameter.
Ma una tale grandezza preclude l?accesso ai siti del cavo orale che pi? necessitano di pulizia. But such a size precludes access to sites in the oral cavity that most? need cleaning.
Inoltre, per aspirare la placca dentale adesa alle superfici ? frequentemente necessario prima smuoverla per frizione con un corpo rigido, mentre invece la bocchetta di aspirazione proposta ? di materiale plastico curvabile. Furthermore, to suck up the dental plaque adhered to the surfaces ? frequently necessary first to move it by friction with a rigid body, while instead the suction nozzle proposal ? of bendable plastic material.
L?aspirazione, inoltre, ? efficiente solo se precisamente mirata ma il sistema proposto non contempla nulla al riguardo. The aspiration, moreover, ? efficient only if precisely targeted but the proposed system does not contemplate anything in this regard.
La presente invenzione si pone pertanto l'obiettivo di fornire un apparato ed un metodo per una profonda pulizia orale pur di semplice realizzazione e di costi di acquisto e gestione minimi. The object of the present invention is therefore to provide an apparatus and a method for thorough oral cleaning while being simple to produce and having minimal purchase and management costs.
Tale obiettivo ? raggiunto tramite un apparato secondo la rivendicazione 1 , e mediante un metodo secondo la rivendicazione 10. This goal? achieved by an apparatus according to claim 1, and by a method according to claim 10.
Le rivendicazioni dipendenti da queste mostrano forme di realizzazione preferite o vantaggiose. The claims dependent on these show preferred or advantageous embodiments.
L'oggetto della presente invenzione verr? ora descritto con l'ausilio della figura 1, fornita a puro titolo esemplificativo e non limitativo, che mostra una schematizzazione di un apparato per la pulizia orale secondo una forma di realizzazione della presente invenzione. The object of the present invention will come now described with the aid of figure 1, provided purely by way of non-limiting example, which shows a schematization of an oral cleaning apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Come sar? evidente dalla seguente spiegazione, tale apparato ? particolarmente adatto all'individuazione ed alla rimozione puntuale di residui, placca e tartaro da denti e gengive. How will it be? evident from the following explanation, this apparatus ? particularly suitable for the identification and punctual removal of residues, plaque and tartar from teeth and gums.
L'apparato in figura 1 comprende un sistema aspirante (2) collegato con tubo flessibile (4) ad una cannula rigida di suzione, facilmente intercambiabile al bisogno con altre di diverso disegno e grandezza (5, 6, 7) per il migliore adattamento alle diverse conformazioni dei punti da aspirare. The apparatus in figure 1 comprises a suction system (2) connected with a flexible tube (4) to a rigid suction cannula, easily interchangeable as needed with others of different design and size (5, 6, 7) for better adaptation to the different conformations of the points to be aspirated.
A puro titolo esemplificativo, all'interno del presente testo brevettuale con il termine "cannule" si intendono condotti rigidi di vario materiale, forma e dimensioni. Purely by way of example, within the present patent text the term "cannulas" means rigid ducts of various materials, shapes and dimensions.
Preferibilmente, le cannule avranno forma cilindrica di grandezza compresa tra 1,3 mm e 0,70 mm di diametro e bocche aspiranti con superfice libera compresa tra 0,5 mm2 e 0,1 mm2. Preferably, the cannulas will have a cylindrical shape with a diameter of between 1.3 mm and 0.70 mm and suction mouths with a free surface between 0.5 mm2 and 0.1 mm2.
Secondo una variante preferita le cannule recheranno a circa met? lunghezza piegature dai 30? ai 90?. According to a preferred variant, the cannulas will have about half bending length from 30? at 90?.
In altre parole, le cannule presentano un ingombro sufficientemente ridotto e sono conformate iri maniera tale da risultare idonee ad essere facilmente movimentate nel cavo orale e consentire il pi? agevole raggiungimento dei corpi estranei presenti, anche in profondit?, nelle cavit?, negli spazi interdentali e nel solco gengivale. In other words, the cannulas have a sufficiently small size and are shaped in such a way as to be suitable for being easily moved in the oral cavity and allow the most? easy reaching of foreign bodies present, even in depth, in the cavities, in the interdental spaces and in the gingival sulcus.
La rimozione dei corpi estranei ? operata mediante risucchio e/oppure effetto ventosa e, se necessario, potr? essere preceduta da un?azione meccanica di sgretolamento dell?eventuale concrezione presente mediante frizioni operate con la stessa cannula di aspirazione. The removal of foreign bodies ? operated by suction and / or suction effect and, if necessary, can? be preceded by a mechanical action of crumbling of any concretion present by means of friction operated with the same suction cannula.
La suzione risulta particolarmente vantaggiosa anche nelle cavit? da estrazione dente e/o inserimento vite per impianto dentale, dov?? facilitato lo sviluppo della flora batterica con aggressione ai tessuti organici sottostanti. Suction is particularly advantageous even in cavities? from tooth extraction and/or screw insertion for dental implant, where?? facilitated the development of bacterial flora with aggression to the underlying organic tissues.
Secondo una variante ulteriore, l?apparato comprende inoltre un meccanismo per la regolazione fine del flusso di aspirazione. According to a further variant, the apparatus further comprises a mechanism for the fine adjustment of the suction flow.
Secondo una variante preferita, l?apparato comprende una telecamera dotata di illuminazione (8) che ottimizza l?osservazione di dettaglio del cavo orale (9) su uno schermo (10), e consente pertanto di centrare con la massima facilit? e precisione il giusto punto di aspirazione per un?efficace rimozione del materiale estraneo. According to a preferred variant, the apparatus comprises a video camera equipped with lighting (8) which optimizes the detailed observation of the oral cavity (9) on a screen (10), and therefore allows centering with maximum ease and precision the right point of suction for effective removal of foreign material.
Secondo una variante realizzativa, la telecamera ? collegata mediante cavo elettrico ad uno schermo dedicato o altro dispositivo elettronico dotato di display. According to a construction variant, the camera ? connected by electric cable to a dedicated screen or other electronic device equipped with a display.
Secondo una variante ulteriore, il sopra citato collegamento ? realizzato attraverso un sistema cordless, ad esempio tramite Wi-Fi, Bluetooth o similari. According to a further variant, the aforementioned connection ? made through a cordless system, for example via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or similar.
Secondo una variante preferita, l?apparato comprende una trappola per liquidi (3) o sistema analogo a prevenzione della dispersione nell?ambiente dei liquidi salivari e dei materiali aspirati dal cavo orale e, se necessario, a protezione della pompa di aspirazione. According to a preferred variant, the apparatus comprises a trap for liquids (3) or similar system to prevent the dispersion of salivary liquids and materials aspirated from the oral cavity into the environment and, if necessary, to protect the suction pump.
Secondo varianti realizzative gli elementi dell?apparato possono essere alimentati tramite batteria e/o presa elettrica e/o pannello fotovoltaico. According to embodiment variants, the elements of the apparatus can be powered by a battery and/or electric socket and/or photovoltaic panel.
Innovativamente, l'apparato e il metodo oggetto della presente invenzione realizzano un sistema che presenta semplicit? di costruzione, di gestione e manutenzione, e che consente l?individuazione estremamente facile e precisa nel cavo orale dei materiali estranei di diversa natura e la loro rimozione. Innovatively, the apparatus and the method object of the present invention realize a system which presents simplicity? of construction, management and maintenance, and which allows the extremely easy and precise identification of foreign materials of different nature in the oral cavity and their removal.
Di conseguenza, l'apparato oggetto della presente invenzione consente di migliorare drasticamente la qualit? della pulizia orale domestica rispetto agli attuali ausili in commercio. Consequently, the apparatus object of the present invention allows to drastically improve the quality? of domestic oral cleaning compared to the current aids on the market.
Vantaggiosamente, l'apparato oggetto della presente invenzione ? economico sia dal punto di vista della realizzazione, sia per la gestione operativa. Advantageously, the apparatus object of the present invention ? economic both from the point of view of the realization and for the operational management.
Vantaggiosamente, l?apparato oggetto della presente invenzione ? adatto a ben inserirsi nel contesto di impiego, risultando poco ingombrante ed appariscente. Advantageously, the apparatus object of the present invention is suitable for fitting well into the context of use, making it not bulky and flashy.
Vantaggiosamente, l'apparato oggetto della presente invenzione esercita un forte stimolo verso il mantenimento di comportamenti igienici corretti, potendosi osservare con estremo dettaglio l?elevato grado di pulizia conseguito con l?uso dell?apparato. Advantageously, the apparatus object of the present invention exerts a strong stimulus towards the maintenance of correct hygienic behaviors, being able to observe in extreme detail the high degree of cleanliness achieved with the use of the apparatus.
Al fine di soddisfare esigenze specifiche, alle forme di realizzazione dell'apparato e del metodo suddetto possono essere apportate varianti o sostituzioni di elementi con altri funzionalmente equivalenti. In order to satisfy specific needs, variants or replacements of elements with other functionally equivalent ones can be made to the embodiments of the above mentioned apparatus and method.
Anche tali varianti sono contenute neN'ambito di tutela come definito dalle seguenti rivendicazioni. Also these variants are contained in the scope of protection as defined by the following claims.
Inoltre, ciascuna variante descritta come appartenente ad una possibile forma di realizzazione ? realizzabile indipendentemente dalle altre varianti illustrate. Furthermore, each variant described as belonging to a possible embodiment ? feasible independently of the other illustrated variants.
La pulizia orale domestica eseguita periodicamente con l?apparato proposto assicura la cessazione dei processi di mineralizzazione dei residui di placca, non rimossi invece con gli attuali metodi di pulizia orale, che li trasforma in concrezioni dure, il tartaro. Home oral cleaning performed periodically with the proposed apparatus ensures the cessation of the mineralization processes of plaque residues, which are not removed with current oral cleaning methods, which transforms them into hard concretions, tartar.
L?assenza di tartaro render? anche meno fastidiosa la pulizia professionale periodica eseguita dagli specialisti sanitari. The absence of tartar will make? even less annoying is the periodic professional cleaning performed by health specialists.
