Description
(1.発明の分野)
本発明は、一般的に、歯科矯正学の分野に関する。より詳細には、本発明は、改善された歯科器具および歯科システム、ならびにこれらを使用および作製するための方法に関する。
WO98/5896および同時係属出願番号08/947,080は、上記に参照される。歯科矯正処置を仕上げるための歯のポジショナーは、Keslingによって、Am.J.Orthod.Oral.Surg.31:297−304(1945)および32:285−293(1946)に記載される。患者の歯の包括的な歯科矯正的再配列のためのシリコーンポジショナーの使用は、Warunekら(1989)J.Clin.Orthod.23:694−700に記載される。歯の位置を仕上げかつ維持するための透明プラスチック保持装置は、Raintree Essix,Inc.,New Orleans,Louisiana 70125、およびTru−Tain Plastics,Rochester,Minnesota 55902から市販されている。歯科矯正ポジショナーの製造は、米国特許第5,186,623号;同第5,059,118号;同第5,055,039号;同第5,035,613号;同第4,856,991号;同第4,798,534号および同第4,755,139号に記載される。
本発明は、改善された歯科器具およびそのような器具の使用および製造方法を提供する。個々の器具は、ポリマーシェルを備え、このシェルは、そのシェル中に形成された、歯を受け入れるキャビティを有する。このシェルは、歯上にその器具を安定に固定するために必要な剛性を有し、歯の整復に必要な制御された力を提供する。以下に詳細に議論されるように、その器具の歯からの取り外しを容易にするための、1以上の取り外し特性および機構が提供される。この取り外し機構は、そのシェルの不可欠な性質または特徴であり得、そして/またはそのシェルに付加される別個の構成要素であり得る。例示的なシェルの性質としては、異なる環境条件(例えば、温度変化、pHの変化、イオン強度の変化など)へのシェルの曝露によって誘導される、剛性または形状における変化が挙げられる。例示的な付加的構成要素としては、接着剤、界面層(シェルと歯との間)、歯アンカー、強化構成要素(層、フィラメント、編組など)が挙げられ、ここで、このような構成要素は、剛性、寸法、方向などを変化して、シェルを歯上に選択的に保持または解放し得る。通常、付加的構成要素における変化は、シェルに性質変化を誘導するために使用される同じ型の環境変化によって誘導される。あるいは、別個の構成要素を備える取り外し機構は、外部エネルギー源への曝露によって刺激され得、この外部エネルギー源、例えば、機械的、電気的、光学的、磁気的になどで誘発されて、シェルの歯からの解放を、生じるかまたは可能にする変化を誘導する。
図1を参照して、本発明に記載の器具、システムおよび方法は、歯上に取り外し可能に配置可能な、少なくとも1つの器具100を備える。通常、器具100は、複数の漸進性位置調整器具のうちの1つである。この器具は、顎の個々の歯の漸進性整復をもたらすことが意図される。この器具100は、任意の、公知のポジショナー、保持装置、または歯科矯正処置と組み合わせて歯の位置を仕上げかつ維持するために公知の他の取り外し可能な器具に置き換えて使用され得る。本発明の器具は、先行の器具およびシステムと対照的に、漸進的な歯の整復を達成するための、患者による首尾よい使用に特に適切である。例示的な整復器具の完全な記載は、1997年10月10日に出願された、同時係属米国特許出願番号08/947,080(代理人整理番号18563−000110)(全ての目的のために参考として本明細書中に援用される)に記載される。本発明の取り外し可能な機構と共に使用するための、この例示的な歯科器具の記載は、以下に記載される。
245またはPerkadox 16Nの代わりに添加され得る。実施例22および23の材料を、上述のように、シェル内またはアンカー内に使用し得る。
Claims (1)
- 患者の歯を再配置するための複数の器具を備えたシステムであって、
該複数の器具のそれぞれは、
該歯を収容するように成型されたキャビティを有するポリマーシェルと、
