Abstract
Description
図1は本発明の実施形態1に係る睡眠時無呼吸症候群症状改善用補助器具1の平面図であり、図2は左側面図であり、図3は底面図であり、図4は正面図である。睡眠時無呼吸症候群症状改善用補助器具1は、図12に示すように睡眠時無呼吸症候群患者100の口腔101に挿入されるものである。この実施形態の説明では、睡眠時無呼吸症候群症状改善用補助器具1を口腔101に挿入した状態で、挿入方向手前側(図12における上側)を「前」といい、挿入方向奥側(図12における下側)を「後」というものとする。また、睡眠時無呼吸症候群症状改善用補助器具1を口腔101に挿入した状態で、患者100の右側を単に「右」といい、患者100の左側を単に「左」というものとする。
図12に示すように、睡眠時無呼吸症候群症状改善用補助器具1を睡眠時無呼吸症候群患者100の口腔101に挿入する。そして、患者100が上の前歯110及び下の前歯111によって被挟持部10を噛むことで被挟持部10が挟持されて睡眠時無呼吸症候群症状改善用補助器具1が固定される。このとき、下の前歯111が被挟持部10の前歯挿入用凹部13に挿入されるので、下の前歯111が前歯挿入用凹部13に嵌まり、このことで被挟持部10と前歯111との相対的な位置ずれが抑制される。そして、空気通路R1〜R4によって呼吸を行うことができる。また、睡眠時無呼吸症候群改善用補助器具1が口腔101内で固定されると、舌押圧部20が患者100の軟口蓋105近傍まで延びるように位置して舌102を押圧するので、就寝時の体勢が仰臥位であったとしても舌102が下がり難くなる。よって、睡眠時無呼吸症候群の症状が改善される。
また、唾液を分泌する唾液腺は、睡眠時無呼吸症候群症状改善用補助器具1を挿入する口腔101、舌102及び頬周りに、舌下腺や顎下腺の大唾液腺と、口唇腺、頬腺、口蓋腺、臼歯腺、舌腺などの口腔粘膜に多数散在している粘膜腺とも称される小唾液腺とがある。口腔101に挿入した睡眠時無呼吸症候群症状改善用補助器具1は弾力性を有するので舌102や歯などを動かすことによって口の中で形態を微妙に変えることから、睡眠時無呼吸症候群症状改善用補助器具1が、口唇112、頬、舌102、口蓋に広く分布している小唾液腺を刺激することになり、唾液が出やすくなる。これにより、唾液によって、食物の消化、口腔粘膜の摩擦・保護や歯の摩耗防止・保護、自浄作用による虫歯や歯周病の発生抑制、細菌の発生抑制、味の認知力低下防止、口腔内乾燥症の防止等の効果を奏することができる。
図13〜図15は、本発明の実施形態2に係る睡眠時無呼吸症候群症状改善用補助器具1を示すものである。この実施形態2では、睡眠時無呼吸症候群症状改善用補助器具1に舌102を差し込むことができるように構成されている点で実施形態1のものとは異なっており、以下、実施形態1と同じ部分には同じ符号を付して説明を省略し、異なる部分について詳細に説明する。
図16、図17は、本発明の実施形態3に係る睡眠時無呼吸症候群症状改善用補助器具1を示すものである。この実施形態3では、舌102を上下方向に挟むことができるように構成されている点で実施形態1のものとは異なっており、以下、実施形態1と同じ部分には同じ符号を付して説明を省略し、異なる部分について詳細に説明する。
図20は、本発明の実施形態4に係る睡眠時無呼吸症候群症状改善用補助器具1を示すものである。この実施形態4では、舌102をあてがう部分がブリッジ状に構成されている点で実施形態1のものとは異なっており、以下、実施形態1と同じ部分には同じ符号を付して説明を省略し、異なる部分について詳細に説明する。
図21、図22は、本発明の実施形態5に係る睡眠時無呼吸症候群症状改善用補助器具1を示すものである。この実施形態5では、前歯挿入用凹部13の代わりに空洞部43が設けられている。以下、実施形態1と同じ部分には同じ符号を付して説明を省略し、異なる部分について詳細に説明する。
