DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an occlusal plane lifting plate (sprint) used by being inserted between the teeth of the upper and lower jaws of a person.
The present invention relates to an occlusal plane lifting plate manufacturing kit for easily and quickly manufacturing an occlusal plane, and an occlusal plane lifting plate manufactured by the kit.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a syndrome called temporomandibular arthrosis has attracted attention. This is because people under sustained stress unknowingly clench their teeth, clench their teeth, and also have tension in facial muscles. By the temporal muscle around the temporomandibular joint,
This syndrome is thought to be caused by muscles such as masseter muscle, lateral pterygoid muscle, medial pterygoid muscle, sternocleidomastoid muscle, trapezius muscle, etc., being kept tense for a long time.

[0003] The clenching and bruxism of teeth that are performed unconsciously by a person under stress are caused by Bruxism.
m), which may occur not only during sleep but also during awakening. Recently, an increasing number of people have clenched their teeth unconsciously, for example, while driving a car or operating a computer. When this braxism occurs, the dentition of the upper and lower jaw bites with almost the maximum bite force, so in the case of malocclusion or disability, the frequency of temporomandibular disorders increases and the symptoms worsen It is said that.

[0004] Direct symptoms of temporomandibular disorders include
Pain and muscle fatigue of the various temporomandibular joints, muscle spasm, etc. Low back pain, chronic headache, numbness of limbs, high blood pressure, certain diabetes, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, arrhythmia, angina, rheumatoid arthritis, lack of perseverance and concentration, etc. It is said to be due to abnormal muscle group tension and malocclusion.

Heretofore, as means for alleviating the symptoms of temporomandibular disorders, some proposals have been made, but none of them is satisfactory.

[0006] For example, Japanese Patent Publication No. Sho 62-38985 discloses an orthodontic device arranged in the oral cavity to relieve pressure and pain caused by masticatory muscles based on the difference in occlusal pressure along the upper and lower dental arches. This corrector is composed of an elastic body having a fluid containing passage therein, and the fluid contained therein compensates hydrostatically for a pressure difference caused by an occlusal force. However, since this correction device has a structure in which a fluid such as water is sealed in an elastic body, there is a risk that the correction device may be damaged during use and the fluid contained therein may flow out into the oral cavity. In particular,
In the case where the upper and lower dentitions bite with almost the maximum occlusal force as in the case of the above-mentioned braxism, it cannot be tolerated at all.

[0007] US Patent Nos. 3,488,848 and 3,532,091 also disclose a straightening device similar to Japanese Patent Publication No. 62-38985. Each of these is a straightening device composed of an elastic body containing a fluid inside, not only with the danger of breakage during use and the outflow of the internal fluid, but also taking no measures against brachismism. Was a problem.

Further, there is an occlusal plane raising plate in which a hardening material is hardened in accordance with the tooth profile of the wearer. It is separately manufactured on the basis of the method described above, and has a drawback that it requires time and technology to manufacture.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and there is no danger of internal fluid leaking out during use. An object of the present invention is to provide a simple and effective occlusal plane lifting plate that can be manufactured in a short time.

[0010]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention comprises a lower member that is soft and thin, and an upper member that is less flexible than the lower member, and has a hollow portion capable of containing a curable material therein. The above object has been attained by providing a kit for producing an occlusal plane lifting plate having at least an occlusal plane lifting plate production member main body.

[0011] The occlusal plane lifting plate manufacturing kit of the present invention comprises:
The curable material may be further provided, and the curable material is injected or arranged in a hollow portion of the occlusal plane lifting plate forming member main body, where the curable material is cured while receiving hydrostatic pressure due to biting, and the wearer's teeth are hardened. An occlusal plane lifting plate conforming to the shape of the above is manufactured. The injection is performed by relatively simple means, and the curable material cures quickly, so that anyone can easily produce the occlusal plane lifting plate in a short time. Further, since the occlusal plane lifting plate of the present invention is made of a hardened material, there is no possibility that the internal fluid leaks due to breakage or the like during use.

The lower member of the occlusal plane raising plate production member body of the present invention is made of a soft and thin material. For this reason, the lower member can be deformed along the shape of the occlusal surface of the lower dentition of the wearer in contact with the lower member, and the occlusal surface shape of the lower dentition is accurately copied to the hardened surface of the hardenable material. .

On the other hand, the upper member of the occlusal plane lifting plate producing member body of the present invention is made of a material having less flexibility than the lower member. For this reason, the upper member is deformed only to the extent that an indentation of the cusp tip of the abutting upper dentition is obtained. As a result, as a hardened surface corresponding to the upper dentition of the wearer, there is an indentation of the cusp tip. A substantially flat cured surface is formed.

The hardened curable material is used as an occlusal plane lifting plate by peeling off (or not peeling off) the main body of the occlusal plane raising plate containing the curable material.

As described above, the lower surface of the occlusal plane raising plate manufactured by the manufacturing kit of the present invention accurately corresponds to the uneven shape of the occlusal surface of the lower dentition of the wearer. Fits snugly into the lower dentition of the wearer and does not slip. On the other hand, the upper surface of the occlusal plane elevating plate manufactured by the manufacturing kit of the present invention is almost flat except for having an impression of the upper cusp of the upper jaw of the wearer, and roughly captures the surface shape of the upper occlusal surface. As such, the maxillary dentition can slide back and forth and left and right with respect to the adjuster. This is one of the major features of the present invention, in which the upper surface of the occlusal plane raising plate has a certain degree of freedom so that the wearer can hold the upper and lower jaws even while wearing the occlusal plane raising plate of the present invention. It is possible to move freely back and forth and left and right. by this,
Even if the wearer does not suffer from unnecessary stress and has a bruxism such as bruxism or clenching of teeth during sleep or awakening, the movement is not directly transmitted to the other dentition and the jaw.

In the present invention, the term "soft and thin" means that, as described above, when a curable material is housed inside and lightly bitten, it can be deformed in response to minute irregularities on the biting surface. The characteristics of such a material, and less inferior than that, the same as containing a hardening material inside, when lightly bite, when the material is softer and thinner to the fine irregularities on the occlusal surface It refers to the property of a material that does not deform correspondingly, for example, deforms to the extent that at most the cusp tip is indented.

The terms upper member and lower member are relative, and do not mean that the upper member is always used above the lower member. As will be described later, it is also possible to turn the occlusal plane lifting plate production member body upside down so that the lower member is in contact with the upper dentition and the upper member is in contact with the lower dentition. The occlusal plane raising plate of the present invention can be used as an occlusal plane raising plate for the lower dentition by fitting the occlusal plane raising plate to the lower dentition as described above, or by fitting the upper dentition exactly to the upper dentition. It can also be used as an occlusal plane raising plate for dentition.

[0018]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The kit for producing an occlusal plane lifting plate of the present invention can be composed of, for example, the elements shown in FIG. That is, in FIG. 1, the occlusal plane raising plate manufacturing kit indicated by reference numeral 1 is composed of an occlusal plane raising plate manufacturing member main body 2, a curable material injector 4, a file 7, and a difference 8. . Occlusal plane lifting plate production member body 2
Inside the occlusal plane raising plate manufacturing member main body 2, as shown in FIG.
(In this case, powder) is stored in advance, and the other material B constituting the curable material is contained in the curable material injector 4.
(In this case, liquid). Note that reference numeral 3
Is a hardening material injection port provided on the occlusal plane lifting plate manufacturing member main body 2, 5 is a needle of a hardening material injector, 6
Denotes the piston of the curable material injector.

As will be described later, the file 7 is for shaping and shaping the marks of the injection port 3 left on the hardened occlusal plane raising plate. This is for measuring the dimensions of the upper and lower jaw dental arches. As the wearer knows the dimensions of his or her own dental arch, as described later, it is possible to select an occlusal plane lifting plate making member main body 2 of various dimensions prepared in advance that suits the user. It will be easier.

In this example, the occlusal plane lifting plate manufacturing kit 1 is assembled by combining the occlusal plane raising plate manufacturing member main body 2, the curable material injector 4, the file 7, and the object difference 8.
However, if necessary, a kit having only the occlusal plane lifting plate producing member main body 2 may be used, in which case, a separately prepared curable material is also supplied by a separately prepared curable material injector. Is injected into the body 2 of the occlusal plane lifting plate.

FIG. 2 shows only the main body 2 of the occlusal plane lifting plate production member. The same members as those in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals. 9 is a lower member of the occlusal plane raising plate producing member main body 2 and 10 is an occlusal plane raising plate producing member main body 2
Is the upper member. The lower member 9 and the upper member 10 are liquid-tightly connected to each other by an appropriate connecting means such as a heat seal or an adhesive, and form a hollow portion 11 for housing a curable material therein. Reference numeral 12 denotes a peeling lip for peeling the lower member 9 and the upper member 10 after the curable material is cured.

The lower member 9 is made relatively soft and thin, and as shown in FIG. 3, when it is inserted between the upper and lower teeth and lightly bite, the occlusal surface of the lower tooth row 13 which comes into contact therewith. It is configured to deform exactly along the shape of No. 15. As a material to be used, since it is inserted into the oral cavity, it goes without saying that it must be harmless to the human body, but it does not matter in particular as long as the conditions are satisfied, for example, polyethylene, polypropylene,
Synthetic resin films such as polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl chloride, polybutadiene, nylon and polyethylene glycol terephthalate are preferably used. The thickness is preferably thin, and at most 100 μm or less, preferably 30 μm or less, and more preferably 10 μm or less.

On the other hand, the upper member 10 is relatively thicker and less flexible than the lower member 9, and as shown in FIG. 3, is inserted between the upper and lower tooth rows and lightly bite. Sometimes, it does not deform following the shape of the occlusal surface 16 of the maxillary dentition 14, but deforms only to the extent that an indentation at the cusp tip indicated by reference numeral 17 (the maxillary lingual cusp tip in this case) is made. Not configured. As the material to be used, a synthetic resin film such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl chloride, polybutadiene, nylon, and polyethylene glycol terephthalate, which is harmless to the human body, is preferably used as in the case of the lower member 9; Of these, a polyvinyl chloride resin film or a polyethylene film is particularly preferably used. The thickness depends on the flexibility of the material used, but is preferably such that it is lightly bite and substantially flat when subjected to hydrostatic pressure from the inside. In the case where it is difficult to obtain predetermined characteristics with a single-layer film, the same type or different types of films may be laminated.

FIG. 3 shows an example in which the lower member 9 is in contact with the occlusal surface 15 of the lower dentition 13 and the upper member 10 is in contact with the occlusal surface 16 of the upper dentition 14. It is also possible to use the relationship in reverse. That is, the occlusal plane raising plate production member body 2 is turned upside down and inserted between the upper and lower teeth of the wearer, and the lower member 9 accurately captures the surface shape of the occlusal surface 16 of the maxillary teeth 14. Take, on the other hand,
The upper member 10 captures the surface shape of the occlusal surface 15 of the lower dentition 13 to such an extent that an indentation at the cusp tip is formed.

Further, the occlusal plane lifting plate producing member main body 2 of the present invention may have an intermediate member 18 between the upper member 10 and the lower member 9 as shown in FIG. 4, for example. . The intermediate member 18 is made of a material that is less flexible than the lower member 9, and when the occlusal plane elevating plate is manufactured, even when subjected to the pressure due to biting as shown by the up and down arrows. This is effective in preventing the side surface of the occlusal plane lifting plate production member main body 2 from unnecessarily expanding in the lateral direction. The degree of flexibility of the intermediate member 18 is preferably intermediate between the upper member 10 and the lower member 9, but may be the same as the upper member 10.

FIG. 5 is a horizontal cross-sectional view of the occlusal plane lifting plate production member main body 2, showing a state where the curable material injector 4 is inserted into the injection port 3. As shown in the figure, the injection port 3 can communicate with the internal hollow portion 11 by the penetration of the needle 5 of the curable material injector 4, and returns to its original state by its own elasticity when the needle 5 is withdrawn. Is configured to be closed. In the drawing, the injection port 3 is also integrally formed by the material forming the upper member 10. However, when there is a problem in the elasticity of the upper member 10, the injection port 3 is separately formed by elastic rubber or the like, It may be combined with the upper member 10. The injection port 3 may be closed after the curable material B is injected by pressing the injection port 3 with a finger, twisting, or the like.

As the curable material, any material may be used. However, since it is used in the oral cavity after curing, it must be harmless to the human body. It is preferable to use an instant polymerization resin such as methyl methacrylate or a photopolymerization resin that is used. Immediately polymerized resins are usually composed of two kinds of materials, a material in a powder state and a material in a liquid state. Immediate polymerization occurs and hardens when both materials come into contact with or mix with each other. On the other hand, a photopolymerizable resin is a resin that is polymerized and cured by light.

In the example described above, the material A in the powder state is previously filled in the inner hollow portion 11 of the occlusal plane lifting plate manufacturing member main body 2.
The material B in a liquid state is injected into the hollow portion 11 by the curable material injector 4 at the time of use. However, depending on the curable material to be used, the injection timing and the injection means are different. Not limited to For example, when the two types of materials that start curing by mixing or contacting are both liquids, both may be injected into the hollow portion 11 at the time of use. It is also possible to load one of the two types of materials into the microcapsule and store it together with the other material in the hollow portion 11 in advance. In use, light occlusion or finger compression breaks the microcapsules, causing the two materials to mix.

When a photopolymerizable resin is used, the curable material is desirably stored in advance in the main body 2 of the occlusal plane raising plate. It is preferable that the main body 2 and / or the occlusal plane lifting plate manufacturing kit 1 be wrapped with a light-impermeable material. In use, light is applied and cured in a state where the occlusal plane lifting plate manufacturing member main body 2 is inserted between the upper and lower tooth rows of the wearer. In this case, as a matter of course, the curable material injector 4 and the file 7 are not required for the occlusal plane lifting plate manufacturing kit 1. In addition, it goes without saying that the occlusal plane lifting plate production member main body 2 is produced from a light transmissive material.

FIG. 6 is a sectional view showing another example of the curable material injector 4. In this example, the curable material injector 4 and the occlusal plane lifting plate producing member main body 2 are integrally formed, and the hollow portion 11 communicates with the internal space of the curable material injector 4 by pressure. Blocked by a possible thin diaphragm 19. Due to the presence of the diaphragm 19, the hollow portion 11
Curable material A contained in the curable material injector 4
Contact or mixing with the curable material B contained therein is prevented. In use, the pressure in the curable material injector 4 is increased by pressing the curable material injector 4 with a finger or the like, and finally, the diaphragm 19 communicates, and the curable materials A and B come into contact with each other. Mix and start curing. After the injection, the curable material injector 4 may be threaded at the constricted portion of the connecting portion with the occlusal plane lifting plate production member main body 2, or may be left as it is until the curing is completed.

When the curing is completed, the lower member 9 and the upper member 10 of the occlusal plane raising plate forming member main body 2 are peeled off from the cured occlusal plane raising plate using the peeling lip 12 or the like. . To make the peeling work,
It is preferable that the insides of the lower member 9 and the upper member 10 are previously coated with petrolatum or the like. It is also possible to use an occlusal plane lifting plate without peeling the lower member 9 or the upper member 10, but during use, it is inevitably partially damaged and peeled off. preferable.

FIG. 7 is a view showing a state of use of the occlusal plane lifting plate 20 from which the lower member 9 and the upper member 10 have been peeled off. Prior to use, use the file 7 included in the kit for production,
It is desirable to polish and remove protrusions and the like at the injection mark of the curable material. It may be worn at the time of sleep or at the time of awakening, and it is desirable to wear it continuously for as long as possible.

As described above, the occlusal plane lifting plate 20 of the present invention is used.
Is used between the upper and lower teeth.
By mounting the occlusal plane lifting plate 20 of the present invention, the upper and lower dentition of the wearer is always spaced by the distance X at the central incisor and by the distance Y at the molar as shown in FIG. Will be kept. The distance X depends on the condition of the wearer.
To 20 mm, preferably 6 to 10 mm
It is particularly preferable to keep the interval between the spontaneous discharges in order to reduce spontaneous discharge at rest and alleviate various symptoms. On the other hand, as the distance Y, 1.5 to 10 mm is preferable, and in particular, it is preferable that the distance of 3 to 5 mm is always maintained to reduce spontaneous discharge at rest and alleviate various symptoms. Is particularly preferred. Such adjustment of the interval can be easily adjusted by adjusting the volume of the hollow portion 11 of the occlusal plane lifting plate manufacturing member main body 2 and / or the amount of the curable material that hardens in the hollow portion 11. .

It is not clear why such an interval between the dentitions of the upper and lower jaws is particularly preferable, but the condition in which such an interval is maintained is such that the muscles supporting the upper and lower jaws have no unnecessary tension and most This is probably because he was in a relaxed state.
Thus, the occlusal plane raising plate of the present invention is effective for keeping the space between the upper and lower dentition in the most natural and relaxed state.

In the above example, the occlusal plane raising plate covers all the occlusal surfaces of the upper and lower jaw teeth. However, if necessary, only the molar teeth or the molar teeth and the small molars are used. It is also possible to use an occlusal plane lifting plate that covers only molars.

In the example shown in FIG. 8, the hollow portion 11 in the occlusal plane lifting plate manufacturing member main body 2 is constituted by an enlarged portion on the left and right and a narrow portion at the center. The central narrow portion may be thinner than the other portions, if necessary. On the other hand, the right and left enlarged portions have normal thickness and width. It is made so as to cover teeth after the third canine. Thus, at least No. It is important from the viewpoint of action and effect to cover the canine No. 3 with the occlusal plane lifting plate of the present invention.

In FIG. 8, the left and right enlarged portions communicate with each other. However, the hollow portion 11 may be divided into two right and left portions, each of which may be provided with a hardening material injection port.

FIGS. 9 and 10 are views showing an example of mounting of the occlusal plane raising plate 20 manufactured using the occlusal plane raising plate manufacturing member main body 2 of FIG. 8, and FIG. FIG. 10 shows an example of mounting the occlusal plane raising plate 20 for the lower dentition.

As is clear from FIGS. 9 and 10, when the occlusal plane raising plate 20 for the upper dentition is mounted, the left and right central incisors and the left and right side incisors of the lower dentition are the same as the upper dentition. At the time of attachment of the occlusal plane raising plate 20 for the lower dentition, the left and right central incisors and the left and right side incisors of the upper dentition are the lower teeth Without biting into the row,
Maintained at regular intervals. In this way, by preventing the left and right central incisors and lateral incisors of the upper dentition or the lower dentition from engaging with the corresponding dentition, the symptoms of temporomandibular disorders can be further alleviated.

The shape of the occlusal plane lifting plate manufacturing member main body 2 is substantially U-shaped in cross section, and it is natural that the shape and size match the shape and size of the wearer's dental arch. However, beforehand, several or dozens of shape patterns are prepared based on data such as race, gender, age, etc., and an occlusal plane lifting plate preparation kit according to age, gender, race, etc. It is preferable to prepare in advance. It is natural that the amount of the curable material is also changed according to the shape and size of the occlusal plane lifting plate production member main body 2. By preparing several or dozens of occlusal plane raising plate preparation kits in this way, an occlusal plane raising plate suitable for the wearer can be manufactured simply and in a short time.

[0041]

The present invention will be described below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

[0042]

Example 1 An occlusal plane raising plate was manufactured using a kit for manufacturing an occlusal plane raising plate as shown in FIG.

As the lower member, a polyethylene wrap film is used, and as the upper member, a thickness of about 0.04 m is used.
m polyethylene film was used. After both were formed into an appropriate shape, they were adhered to prepare an occlusal plane lifting plate production member main body. As the curable material, an immediate polymerization resin “Ortho First (manufactured by GC Dental Products Co., Ltd.)” is used, and the powdery material as a curing adjunct is bonded to the upper member and the lower member. On this occasion, the occlusal plane lifting plate was housed in a hollow portion in the main body. On the other hand, the liquid material as the hardening main agent was housed in a syringe-like hardening material injector, and was used as an occlusal plane lifting plate manufacturing kit.

At the time of use, an injector is inserted into the injection port of the occlusal plane raising plate producing member main body, and the hardening agent is injected into the occlusal plane raising plate producing member main body, and then the finger is dislodged.
The mixing of the curable material was promoted, and the material was inserted between the upper and lower teeth of the wearer with the material starting to harden into a rice cake. Curing started in about 30 seconds and completed in a short time. The time required from injection of the curable material to curing was about 3 minutes. After curing, it was taken out, the upper member and the lower member were peeled off, and the injection trace was polished and removed with a file.

When the prepared occlusal plane raising plate was actually worn by the wearer, the spacing between the central incisors was kept at about 7 mm, and the spacing at the molars was kept at about 3 mm. Also, the relative movement of the upper and lower jaws to the front, rear, left and right was relatively free.

[0046]

Example 2 Using the same material as in Example 1, an occlusal plane lifting plate production member main body was produced. As a curable material,
Photopolymerized resin (trade name “Silax Plus # 5703”
J ", sold by 3M Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.). Before completely bonding the upper member and the lower member, inject the photopolymerization resin from the opening remaining between the upper member and the lower member,
The opening was adhered to prepare an occlusal plane lifting plate production member main body, which was covered with a light shielding sheet to obtain an occlusal plane elevation plate production kit.

In use, the light shielding sheet is broken to take out the occlusal plane lifting plate production member main body, and the light is radiated with the occlusal plane elevation plate production member main body inserted between the upper and lower tooth rows. Cured. As the light irradiation device, a product name “Optilux 400” (sold by 3M Chemical Co., Ltd., wavelength: 740 nm) was used. The resin was cured about 3 minutes after the light irradiation, and was taken out and the upper member and the lower member were peeled off. However, the surface was smooth, there was no injection mark, and there was no need for sanding.

When the prepared occlusal plane lifting plate was actually worn by the wearer, the spacing between the central incisors was maintained at about 7 mm, and the spacing at the molars was maintained at about 3 mm. Also, the relative movement of the upper and lower jaws to the front, rear, left and right was relatively free.

[0049]

As described above, according to the occlusal plane raising plate manufacturing kit of the present invention, the occlusal plane raising plate can be manufactured extremely easily and in a short time. Moreover, since the manufactured occlusal plane lifting plate does not contain a fluid such as water inside, there is no danger that no matter how strongly the occlusal occlusal will be broken, the internal fluid will leak out. In addition, relative movement of the upper and lower jaws is also possible, without giving unnecessary wear to the wearer,
It is an invention that can effectively alleviate or eliminate various symptoms of temporomandibular disorders due to irregular braxism and bite, and is extremely useful in practical use.
