Description

本発明は、口腔及び歯の清掃装置に関するもので、更に詳細には、例えば食後の歯磨き、すすぎ等では除去困難な食べ滓や汚れなど、更には歯の裏側などの清掃困難な汚れ、特に歯の根元近傍、歯周ポケットにあるミュータント菌や歯垢や歯石の除去清掃装置に関する。  The present invention relates to an oral and dental cleaning device, and more particularly, for example, eating candy and dirt that are difficult to remove by brushing after eating, rinsing, etc., and dirt that is difficult to clean, such as the back side of teeth, especially teeth. The present invention relates to a cleaning device for removing mutant bacteria, plaque and calculus in the vicinity of the roots of the teeth and periodontal pockets.

一般に、従来の基本的な口腔及び歯の清掃装置においては、口腔内部全体や歯の根元、裏側、歯と歯との隙間などに粘着し固着した汚れは依然として除去が困難である。特に非専門治療器具として個人が簡便に使用する器具などの場合、個々人の口腔内の細菌分布と密度状態や歯の大きさ等、個人差が特に大きいため、頑固な汚れを除去清掃する機能としては十分なものものではなかった。一方、歯科医が使用する、専門歯科医療器具としての歯垢や歯石除去装置は、患者の口腔形状とその狭い空間や、歯列状態、唾液の分泌状況によってこの歯垢歯石除去装置の操作が難しくなり、患者の歯肉を損傷出血させ、嫌な機械的振動とその音などを介して患者に苦痛と恐怖を与えることも多かった。そのため使用者、患者の立場からは安心して治療に通院出来、かつ患者に対し簡便に安全に使用し、利用できる装置が望まれていた。  In general, in a conventional basic oral cavity and tooth cleaning device, it is still difficult to remove dirt that adheres to and adheres to the entire interior of the oral cavity, the root of the tooth, the back side, and the gap between the teeth. In particular, in the case of devices that are easily used by individuals as non-specialized treatment devices, there are particularly large individual differences such as bacterial distribution and density in the oral cavity of individuals and the size of teeth, so as a function to remove and clean stubborn dirt Was not enough. On the other hand, the dental plaque and calculus removal device used by dentists as a specialized dentistry instrument can be operated depending on the shape of the patient's oral cavity and its narrow space, dentition, and saliva secretion status. It became difficult, often caused the patient's gums to bleed and bleed, causing pain and fear to the patient through unpleasant mechanical vibrations and sounds. Therefore, there has been a demand for a device that can be used for treatment with peace of mind from the standpoint of the user and patient, and that can be used safely and conveniently for the patient.

このような従来の基本的な口腔及び歯の清掃装置に対し、近年、特に非侵襲仕様の専門治療器具として個人が簡便に使用する場合や、歯科治療専門医が使用する場合にも性能がかなり向上しているものとして、特に高速振動波歯ブラシ、超音波振動歯ブラシなどが見受けられるようになって来ている。(特許文献1参照)、(特許文献2参照)。しかし、やはり前述したような欠点、特に歯周ポケット内の歯垢、歯石などを除去する等の課題を十分満足する程度に解決するには至っていなかった。(特許文献3参照)、(特許文献4参照)。
その中でも比較的、歯科解剖学的見地から、歯科治療専門医が使用する場合に対応する超音波式治療器具が開発使用されているが、その先端は金属製で患者の歯肉や歯頸および歯根表面を損傷しないで治療することはかなりの熟練を要する。
この様な欠点を改良した方法、構成を開示したものも一部見受けられるが、ブラシ先端部や、ブラシ毛先との接触摩擦力で歯垢、歯石を除去する、と言う発想から脱却できないものであった。そのため、依然としてこのブラシ先端部、毛先と接触できない歯の表面や歯根表面および歯頚表面の歯垢および歯石は除去は困難であった。(特許文献5参照)。
Compared to such conventional basic oral and dental cleaning devices, the performance has improved considerably in recent years, especially when individuals easily use it as a non-invasive specialized treatment instrument or when used by a dental specialist. In particular, high-speed vibration wave toothbrushes, ultrasonic vibration toothbrushes, and the like have come to be seen. (See Patent Document 1), (See Patent Document 2). However, it has not yet been solved to the extent that the above-mentioned drawbacks, in particular, the problem of removing plaque, tartar and the like in the periodontal pocket are sufficiently satisfied. (See Patent Document 3), (See Patent Document 4).
Among them, from the viewpoint of dental anatomy, ultrasonic treatment devices that are used by dental care specialists are being developed and used, but their tips are made of metal and the patient's gingiva, cervical and root surfaces Treating without damaging it requires considerable skill.
Some of the methods and configurations that have improved such drawbacks can be seen, but they cannot be removed from the idea of removing plaque and tartar by the frictional force of contact with the brush tip and brush tip. Met. Therefore, it is still difficult to remove plaque and calculus on the brush tip, tooth surface, root surface, and cervical surface that cannot contact the hair tip. (See Patent Document 5).

このように、従来の技術、装置、方法では家庭や学校、歯科医院などでも使えるような、汎用的で経済的で安全、且つ簡便なものが少ない、等の問題点があった。

以上説明したように、本発明によれば、上記のように構成されているので、以下のような効果が得られる。  As described above, according to the present invention, since it is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained.

請求項1記載の発明によれば、超音波振動エネルギーが口腔内に含むボトル液を介して直接的に歯周および歯頸、歯冠、および歯肉を介して間接的に歯根表面に供給されて、その表面に付着した歯垢やその石灰化した歯石もその振動数の相違から、歯表面部から歯垢や歯石を剥離して、除去出来るという効果を奏する。  According to the first aspect of the present invention, ultrasonic vibration energy is supplied to the root surface directly via the periodontal and cervical, crown, and gingiva directly through the bottle liquid contained in the oral cavity. The plaque and the calcified calculus adhering to the surface can also be removed by removing the plaque and calculus from the tooth surface portion due to the difference in frequency.

請求項2記載の発明によれば、超音波振動部が歯の裏表面位置から口腔内方へ移動自在に位置調整が容易になっているので、口臭の一因としての舌表面のコケ、カビ、よごれなども剥離除去出来るという効果を奏する。  According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the position of the ultrasonic vibration part can be easily moved from the position of the back surface of the tooth to the inside of the oral cavity, moss and mold on the tongue surface as a cause of bad breath , Dirt and the like can be removed and removed.

請求項3乃至5記載の発明によれば、超音波振動エネルギーが集束的に歯周および歯頸、歯冠、歯根表面に供給されて、その表面に付着した歯垢やその石灰化した歯石もその振動数の相違から、歯表面部から剥離して、除去出来るという効果を奏する。  According to the third to fifth aspects of the present invention, ultrasonic vibration energy is convergedly supplied to the periodontal and cervical, crown, and root surfaces, and plaque adhered to the surface and calcified tartar are also obtained. Due to the difference in frequency, there is an effect that it can be removed from the tooth surface portion and removed.

請求項6乃至10記載の発明によれば、歯溝または歯周ポケットへの挿入を容易にするのに適した扁平形状を有する先端部であって、その先端部はまた二股状に最先端部が分岐しており、その分岐基底部は凹面状になって超音波振動部材が振動自在に設けられているため、超音波振動エネルギーが強力に集束して直接的に歯周および歯頸、歯冠、歯根表面に供給されて、その表面に付着した歯垢やその石灰化した歯石もその振動数の相違から、歯表面部から剥離して、除去出来るという効果を奏する。  According to the invention described in claims 6 to 10, the distal end portion has a flat shape suitable for facilitating insertion into a tooth gap or a periodontal pocket, and the distal end portion is also bifurcated in a leading end portion. Since the branch base is concave and the ultrasonic vibration member is provided so as to freely vibrate, the ultrasonic vibration energy is focused strongly and directly on the periodontium, neck, and teeth. The plaque and the calcified calculus that are supplied to the crown and root surfaces and peeled off from the tooth surface due to the difference in the frequency can be removed.

請求項11記載の発明によれば、前記先端部の前記各内外周先端部が歯溝または歯周ポケットに挿入前は互いに所定の距離を保持して内方方向にて対向しているが、挿入直後から互いに外方方向へ反って離間するようになるので、結果として前記超音波振動体が高効率で振動できる空間を確保できる。このため、この超音波振動体の振動エネルギーを歯肉や歯根等に接触して超音波振動周波数が急変して低パワーの振動状態になったり、場合によっては、超音波共振が共振モードからはずれて振動自体が停止したり、歯根近傍歯肉を損傷したりすることも回避出来て、狭い空隙での超音波振動子から歯周ポケット深部近傍の歯根表面に在る歯石等に集束的に照射して強力な超音波振動を伝達できるため、歯石を効率良く剥離除去出来るという効果を奏する。  According to the invention of claim 11, the inner and outer peripheral front end portions of the front end portion are opposed to each other in the inward direction while maintaining a predetermined distance from each other before being inserted into the tooth gap or the periodontal pocket. Since they are warped away from each other immediately after insertion, a space in which the ultrasonic vibrator can vibrate with high efficiency can be secured as a result. For this reason, the vibration energy of this ultrasonic vibrating body comes into contact with the gums or roots, and the ultrasonic vibration frequency changes suddenly, resulting in a low-power vibration state. The vibration itself can be stopped or the gingiva near the root can be damaged, and the ultrasonic transducer in a narrow gap can be focused on the dental calculus on the root surface near the deep part of the periodontal pocket. Since strong ultrasonic vibrations can be transmitted, the tartar can be efficiently peeled and removed.

請求項12記載の発明によれば、前記挿入部を含むキャップ部は各個別歯毎に装着して使用したり、あるいは各個人の治療すべき患部の状況に応じて各前記挿入部を含むキャップ部を所望の個数だけ連結して一体的に使用したりすることも可能であり、各患者の治療対象形状に最適な所望の個数だけ歯列に適合する形状に横手方向に湾曲状に直列接続されて装着して使用することも出来るという効果を奏する。  According to the invention of claim 12, the cap portion including the insertion portion is used by being attached to each individual tooth, or the cap portion including the insertion portion according to the situation of the affected area to be treated by each individual. It is also possible to connect a desired number of parts and use them together, and connect them in series in the transverse direction to the shape that fits the desired number of teeth that is optimal for the shape to be treated for each patient. It has the effect that it can be worn and used.

請求項13乃至15に記載の発明は、超音波振動部材および前記超音波振動部材に嵌合した棒状の支持部材を含む構成であり、該棒状の支持部材は長手方向の管状の連通孔を有することを特徴とし、前記棒状の支持部材は更に液体保持部材と嵌合し、前記長手方向の管状の連通孔の一端が該液体保持部材内側に接続されている事を特徴とし、前記棒状の支持部材は更に歯、唇、歯茎のうち少なくとも1つと接することによって前記超音波振動部材の位置を固定する、位置固定部材を有する事を特徴とすることから、所望の位置に超音波振動部材を固定でき、かつ口腔内を適宜所望の洗浄液で満たして、超音波振動伝達空間とし効率良く、所望の歯、唇、歯茎表面の汚れ、特に歯垢や歯石等を容易に除去出来るという効果を奏する。  The invention described in claims 13 to 15 includes an ultrasonic vibration member and a rod-like support member fitted to the ultrasonic vibration member, and the rod-like support member has a tubular communication hole in the longitudinal direction. The rod-like support member is further fitted with a liquid holding member, and one end of the longitudinal tubular communication hole is connected to the inside of the liquid holding member, and the rod-like support member Since the member further includes a position fixing member that fixes the position of the ultrasonic vibration member by contacting at least one of teeth, lips, and gums, the ultrasonic vibration member is fixed at a desired position. In addition, the inside of the oral cavity is appropriately filled with a desired cleaning liquid, so that an ultrasonic vibration transmission space can be efficiently formed, and the desired teeth, lips, gum surfaces, particularly plaque and tartar can be easily removed.

(第1の実施形態)
本発明の第1実施形態における口腔及び歯の清掃装置は、水などの内容液を含むボトル開口部の先端にある1対の超音波振動子によって、上下の歯の前後で超音波振動エネルギーを与えられて、口腔内および歯冠や歯頸部の表面や、歯根近傍の歯表面部にある歯垢や歯石を剥離し除去するようになっている。
Hereinafter, an oral cavity and a tooth cleaning apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
(First embodiment)
The oral cavity and tooth cleaning device according to the first embodiment of the present invention generates ultrasonic vibration energy before and after the upper and lower teeth by a pair of ultrasonic vibrators at the tip of a bottle opening containing content liquid such as water. Given, it is intended to peel and remove plaque and calculus on the surface of the oral cavity, the surface of the crown and neck, and the tooth surface near the root.

図1は、本発明の第1実施形態における口腔及び歯の清掃装置の一例を示す要部の概略断面図であり、水、イオン水、口臭消臭剤等などの内容液108を収容した容器、ボトル106のボトル開口部107の先端に設けられ且つ互いに10から100ミリメートルまで調整可能に離間した1対の超音波振動体103が、使用者の上下の歯101、102をそれら1対の超音波振動体の前後で直接これらの歯と接触しない空間的離間状態で囲んで超音波振動し、その振動エネルギーを空間周囲に与える。その結果、口腔104内へ導入されたボトル内容溶液108の水分子を叩いて歯冠や歯頸部、歯根近傍の歯表面部に直接超音波振動エネルギーを与え、それらの表面部に固着している歯垢や歯石を強力に歯表面部から剥離し除去するように作用する。この超音波振動エネルギー供給電気配線105は、ボトル中に内臓されてその一端部は前記超音波振動体103へ接続され、他端部は電源109(内部、外部)に連結されている。  FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a main part showing an example of an oral cavity and tooth cleaning device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and a container containing a content liquid 108 such as water, ionic water, bad breath deodorant and the like. The pair of ultrasonic vibrators 103 provided at the front end of the bottle opening 107 of the bottle 106 and spaced from each other in an adjustable manner from 10 to 100 millimeters are used to connect the upper and lower teeth 101 and 102 of the user to the pair of supersonic vibrators 103. The ultrasonic vibration is generated by enclosing the ultrasonic vibration body in a spatially separated state that does not directly contact these teeth before and after the ultrasonic vibration body, and the vibration energy is given to the surrounding space. As a result, the water content of the bottle content solution 108 introduced into the oral cavity 104 is struck to directly apply ultrasonic vibration energy to the tooth surface near the crown, tooth neck, and root, and adhere to the surface.
