Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dental prosthesis stabilizer which fully fills the clearance between artificial gums and the gums to stabilize dental prosthesis sufficiently, and which will not extrude out of the artificial gums regardless of strong occlusion pressure. SOLUTION: This dental prosthesis stabilizer 1 is formed of a nonwoven fabric which is rendered antibacterial. The dental prosthesis stabilizer 1 is formed in approximately the same shape as the adhesive surface 21a of the artificial gums 21 of dental prosthesis 2. To wear the dental prosthesis stabilizer 1, first the dental prosthesis stabilizer 1 is shaped to fit the shape of the adhesive surface 21a. Next, the adhesive surface 21a is slightly wetted and the dental prosthesis stabilizer 1 is intimately contacted therewith. The dental prosthesis stabilizer 1 is replaced each time the dental prosthesis 2 is cleaned after meal. The used dental prosthesis stabilizer 1 is disposed of as combustible.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a denture stabilizing material which stabilizes a denture by interposing between a denture composed of an artificial gum and an artificial tooth and a gum of a human body as a floor for fixing the artificial tooth. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art After the war, food culture has been becoming richer, but on the other hand, problems due to overnutrition are increasing. One such problem is an increase in alveolar pyorrhea, and there is concern that it is becoming younger. However, the improvement of denture-related technology, which is a so-called denture, has been remarkable, and more accurate and durable dentures have been made. Basically, such dentures assist the dietary life. be able to.

[0003] There are various forms of dentures, and typical ones are composed of artificial gums and artificial teeth. The denture of such a form chews food with artificial teeth by fixing artificial gums in close contact with the original gums of the wearer. However, as a major problem with such dentures, there is still a slight gap between the artificial gum and the original gum, and if foreign matter enters the gap, pain may occur when biting an object. become. In addition, the fact that a gap occurs means that the denture is not fixed stably,
Abnormal meshing may occur.

[0004] In order to solve such a problem, a gel-like material called a so-called "denture stabilizing material" has been widely used in recent years, and is commercially available in a form sealed in a tube or the like. Therefore, a denture user takes a necessary amount of this gel-like stabilizer into artificial gums, presses the gel-like stabilizer against the gums, and uses the gel-like stabilizer so as to extend and spread evenly with the artificial gums.

[0005] However, when such a gel stabilizer is used in a very small amount or is engaged with a large pressure, the gel stabilizer protrudes outside the artificial gum due to the engagement pressure, and the user feels uncomfortable. Will be.
Furthermore, the protruding part may be torn off and may be taken into the body as it is. On the other hand, if the amount of use is too small, the gap between the artificial gums and the gums will not be sufficiently filled, so that the above-described inconvenience due to the inclusion of foreign matter will occur.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and has a structure in which a gap between an artificial gum and a gum is sufficiently filled so that a denture is sufficiently stabilized and a biting pressure of the teeth is reduced. It is an object of the present invention to provide a denture stabilizer which does not protrude outside the artificial gum.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a denture comprising artificial dentures and artificial teeth, and a denture stabilizing material interposed between the dentures and the gums for stabilizing the dentures. It is formed into a sheet with a material having properties,
The artificial gums have substantially the same shape as the surface of the artificial gums in close contact with the gums.

[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention replaces the currently widely used gel-like stabilizer with a sheet-like material having low malleability, and has elasticity in its thickness direction and is a mucous membrane in the mouth. It is made of a material that does not give a feeling of incongruity even when in close contact with the gum surface.

The shape is desirably substantially the same as the surface of the artificial gum that adheres to the gums of the human body (hereinafter referred to as the "adhering surface"). Therefore, in addition to the rough shape, the shape may be perforated or the like so that the shape of the outer peripheral portion may be easily adjusted, or may be made to order according to the shape of the artificial gum of each user. Further, in the case of partial dentures, it may be provided so that the clasp portion can be removed by tearing or the like.

[0010] As a material, a method of forming a disposable type using an inexpensive material such as a non-woven fabric, and a method of forming a reusable type using silicon rubber or the like having excellent durability. However, it is desirable that any of the materials is antibacterial processed with a substance derived from a natural substance such as tannin which does not affect the human body.

Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic image diagram showing a form of a denture stabilizer of Example 1, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of the denture stabilizer of Example 1. The denture stabilizer 1 of the present embodiment is formed of a nonwoven fabric that has been subjected to antibacterial processing, and as shown in FIG. 1, is formed in substantially the same shape as the contact surface 21a of the artificial gum 21 of the denture 2 on the upper jaw side. As shown in FIG. 2, the denture stabilizer 1 is provided with a plurality of perforations 11 on its outer peripheral portion so that the outer peripheral shape can be easily adjusted at the time of mounting or after mounting. ing.

In mounting the denture stabilizer 1, first, the shape of the denture stabilizer 1 is adjusted to the shape of the contact surface 21a. Next, the contact surface 21a is slightly wet with water, and the denture stabilizer 1 is adhered to the contact surface 21a. As a result, the denture stabilizer 1 is less likely to be displaced, and it is preferable that the denture stabilizer 1 be attached to the gums of a human body in this state.

It is desirable to replace the denture stabilizer 1 every time the denture 2 is cared for after meals, and the used denture stabilizer 1 can be discarded as combustible material.

Embodiment 2 FIG. 3 is a schematic image diagram showing a form of a denture stabilizer of Embodiment 2. The denture stabilizer 3 of this embodiment is made of silicone rubber which has been subjected to antibacterial processing, and is made to order according to the shape of the denture 4 of the user.
It is formed in accordance with manufacturing. For this reason, the elasticity in the thickness direction of the silicone rubber on the surface following the shape in the mouth of the user makes it possible to appropriately stabilize the denture 4 and appropriately interfere with the meshing. Moreover, although it spreads slightly in the plane direction when strongly engaged, the denture stabilizer 3
Since it returns to its original shape due to its own restoring force, it does not protrude. Further, the denture stabilizer 3 has excellent durability and can be used repeatedly. In addition to cleaning, it is possible to perform cleaning in the same container when disinfecting and cleaning the denture 4 with chemicals.

In using the denture stabilizer 3, the denture 4 is closely attached to the contact surface 41a of the artificial gum 41 so as not to form a gap, and then attached to the gum of a human body.
The denture 4 is formed in advance according to the user.
There is no displacement or gap.

[0016]

The present invention is configured as described above, and can provide a denture stabilizer having the following excellent effects. (1) The gap between the artificial gums and the gums can be sufficiently filled without excess or shortage, and the denture can be sufficiently stabilized. (2) No matter how much biting pressure is applied, it does not protrude outside the artificial gums.
