Description

本発明は、義歯床に人工歯を配列した義歯に係り、特に人の口元の表情を変化させることができる口元表情の可変機能を有する義歯に関する。   The present invention relates to a denture having artificial teeth arranged on a denture base, and more particularly to a denture having a mouth facial expression variable function capable of changing a human facial expression.

歯牙を喪失すると、顔特に口元の表情は著しく変化する。歯を支えていた歯槽骨も吸収され、歯茎までやせ細る。義歯を装着する土台(歯槽堤)が小さくなるからである。その結果、図12に示すように、口の内側から頬、唇を支えていた「ふくらみ」が減少し、頬はこけ、シワや溝が深くなり、頬骨が目立つようになり、老人特有の老け顔へ変化する。特に、口元周辺では、鼻唇溝xやオトガイ唇溝y等の溝が深く、明確に目立つようになる。   When teeth are lost, the facial expression, especially the mouth, changes significantly. The alveolar bone that supported the teeth is also absorbed and thins down to the gums. This is because the base (alveolar ridge) on which the denture is mounted becomes smaller. As a result, as shown in FIG. 12, the “bulge” that supported the cheeks and lips from the inside of the mouth decreased, the cheeks became dull, wrinkles and grooves deepened, cheekbones became conspicuous, Change to face. In particular, in the periphery of the mouth, grooves such as the nasal lip groove x and the chin lip groove y are deep and clearly visible.

これらを回復するためには、義歯により口の内側からふくらみを増し皮膚を支え、張りを持たせるようにする必要がある。特に、上口唇の周りにできる小さい無数の縦シワは、歯の厚みで支えないと消すことができない。   In order to restore these, it is necessary to increase the bulge from the inside of the mouth with dentures to support the skin and to provide tension. In particular, a myriad of small vertical wrinkles around the upper lip cannot be erased unless supported by the thickness of the teeth.

次に歯牙を喪失することにより起こる外見的問題は顎の位置が変わることである。即ち、上顎歯の歯槽壁は、口蓋側が厚く、唇頬側では薄いので、歯牙を喪失すると唇頬側の歯槽壁の吸収が大きくなり、上顎では歯牙の喪失後、歯槽頂は口蓋側(内側)へ変位する。一方、下顎の前歯部及び小臼歯部では内外側の骨の厚みや構造にあまり差がなく、歯牙を喪失すると垂直方向に高さを減じる。そこで、噛む位置が低くなったり、顎が前に出てきたり、左右へ偏位する。顎の位置や噛む位置が変わると顔貌も変わる。噛み合わせの位置が低くなると、上顎と下顎の間隔が狭くなり、図12に示したように、くしゃっとしたつぶれた顔になり、シワが目立ち老け顔になる。このように顎の位置に偏位が起こると左右の目や目尻の高さ、唇の両端の口角の位置が違ってくる。頬のふくらみまで差がでて、顔全体がゆがむようになり、全身の姿勢にも影響が出てくる。歯牙を喪失した状態を長く続けると、顔つきも変わり姿勢もゆがみ、実年齢以上に老けて見える。   The next cosmetic problem caused by the loss of teeth is a change in jaw position. In other words, the alveolar wall of the maxillary teeth is thick on the palate side and thin on the labial cheek side, so if the teeth are lost, the absorption of the alveolar wall on the labial cheek side increases, and in the upper jaw, after the loss of the teeth, the alveolar crest is on the palate side (inside ). On the other hand, there is not much difference in the thickness and structure of the inner and outer bones in the anterior teeth and premolars of the lower jaw, and when the teeth are lost, the height decreases in the vertical direction. Therefore, the biting position is lowered, the chin comes out forward, or is deviated left and right. The face changes when the position of the chin or the position of chewing changes. When the meshing position is lowered, the distance between the upper jaw and the lower jaw is narrowed, and as shown in FIG. 12, the face is crushed and the wrinkle is noticeably old. When deviation occurs in the position of the chin like this, the height of the left and right eyes and the corners of the eyes and the positions of the mouth corners at both ends of the lips are different. There is a difference between the cheeks and the whole face is distorted, affecting the posture of the whole body. If you continue to lose your teeth for a long time, your face will change and your posture will be distorted.

一方、歯の見える量は加齢によって変化し、主に30歳〜40歳から、上の中切歯の見え方は減少し始めて、逆に下の中切歯の見え方が増加する。これは加齢によって軟組織の変化により筋肉が弛緩し皮膚が薄くなり、鼻や唇にシワや溝ができるようになるからである。上下の唇は中切歯によって膨らみが保たれているが、一旦中切歯が磨耗したり、形が欠けたり、中切歯を失ったりすると唇の張りも失われ、唇の赤い部分が内側に巻き込まれて、厚みがなくなり、唇にヒダが増して垂れてくる。40歳をすぎると、唇や口の周りの筋肉の張りが緩んで口全体に「弛み」ができ、唇も下方に垂れてきて「への字口」になる。そのため上の唇の動きも少なくなり、話しているときでも「への字口」となり、上の前歯を被ったままになる。話は下の唇の動きだけでするため、下の前歯だけが見えるようになり、口元が老けて見える。そこで、口の内側からふくらみを増し皮膚を支え、張りを持たせるためにも義歯は重要な意義を有する。   On the other hand, the amount of visible teeth varies with aging, and mainly from 30 to 40 years old, the appearance of the upper central incisor begins to decrease, and conversely, the appearance of the lower central incisor increases. This is because aging causes soft muscles to relax muscles and thin skin, and wrinkles and grooves on the nose and lips. The upper and lower lips are kept bulging by the central incisors, but once the central incisors are worn out, lack of shape, or lose the central incisors, the lip tension is lost and the red part of the lips is inside It gets caught in the skin, loses its thickness, creases on the lips and hangs down. After the age of 40, the muscles around the lips and mouth loosen and the entire mouth becomes “sagging”, and the lips also hang down and become “healthy”. Therefore, the movement of the upper lip is reduced, and even when talking, it becomes a “curve” and keeps on the upper front teeth. Since the story is only the movement of the lower lips, only the lower front teeth can be seen, and the mouth looks old. Therefore, dentures have an important significance in order to increase the swelling from the inside of the mouth, support the skin, and provide tension.

このような義歯に関する技術が種々提案されている。例えば特許文献1の特開平10−94553号公報「人工歯配列試適支援システム」のように、データベース化した各種人工歯前歯部配列済み画像データの中から至適人工歯配列画像を選択し、これと患者顔面画像とを画像処理ソフトによって合成、編集し、義歯装着後の患者の容貌をシュミレートした合成画像データと、選択人工歯データを、パソコン通信によって転送する人工歯配列試適支援システムが提案されている。
特開平10−94553号公報
Various techniques relating to such dentures have been proposed. For example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-94553 “Artificial Teeth Arrangement Trial Appropriate Support System” in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-94553, an optimal artificial tooth arrangement image is selected from image data of various artificial tooth anterior teeth arranged in a database. Proposal of an artificial tooth arrangement trial support system that synthesizes and edits the patient's facial image with the patient's facial image and transfers the synthetic image data that simulates the patient's appearance after the denture is mounted and selected artificial tooth data via personal computer communication ing.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-94553

しかし、この特許文献1の「人工歯配列試適支援システム」は、各種の人工歯によって6前歯が配列され、各種前歯列を1単位として取り扱いができるので、義歯装着後の容貌を簡便に短時間にシュミレートすることができるが、本発明が課題にしている口元の表情を積極的に変えるものではなかった。   However, the “artificial tooth arrangement trial support system” of Patent Document 1 has six front teeth arranged by various artificial teeth and can handle each front tooth row as one unit, so that the appearance after denture installation can be easily and quickly performed. However, the expression of the mouth, which is the subject of the present invention, was not actively changed.

そこで、本発明の発明者は、人の口元は、この口元を形成する筋肉群と、その顔の表情に大きく影響することに着目した。例えば、図3と図4の表情筋(口筋)の説明図に示すように、口元の表情を担当する口筋の大部分は、上下顎骨体前面よりおこり、口角の直ぐ外方にある結節に向かって集まり、これを通って可動性の口唇に拡がり、口筋の構成に関与している。そこで、これらの口輪筋、口角挙筋、口角下制筋等の筋肉は、本来の筋肉の緊張に左右されるが、歯槽部、歯列によりある程度支持され、その位置と形状を保持している。即ち、人の口元の表情は、この歯槽部、歯列により形成されている。   Accordingly, the inventors of the present invention have focused on the fact that a person's mouth greatly affects the muscle groups that form the mouth and the facial expression of the face. For example, as shown in the explanatory diagrams of facial muscles (mouth muscles) in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, most of the mouth muscles responsible for facial expressions of the mouth occur from the front of the upper and lower jaw bones and are located just outside the corner of the mouth. It gathers towards and spreads through the movable lips through this, and is involved in the composition of the mouth muscles. Therefore, muscles such as the muzzle muscles, the levator ani muscles, and the suboral mandibular muscles depend on the tension of the original muscles, but are supported to some extent by the alveolar part and the dentition, and maintain their position and shape. Yes. That is, the facial expression of the person's mouth is formed by the alveolar portion and the dentition.

このように形成された口元の表情について、例えば歯牙が喪失し、歯槽部の吸収が起こると、図12に示したように、口唇は後退し、鼻唇溝yは深くなり、口元の表情が変化する。同様に、歯並びが悪いと口筋にも変化を及ぼし、顔面の美的バランスが崩れる。更には、上下の咬合関係も不安定になり、上下口唇の接触範囲が広くなり口元の表情に大きな変化が生じる。   With regard to the facial expression formed in this way, for example, when the tooth is lost and absorption of the alveolar portion occurs, the lip recedes and the nasal lip groove y deepens as shown in FIG. Change. Similarly, if the teeth are poorly aligned, the mouth muscles also change, and the aesthetic balance of the face is lost. Furthermore, the upper and lower occlusal relations are also unstable, the contact range of the upper and lower lips is widened, and a large change occurs in the facial expression of the mouth.

本発明は、かかる問題点を解決するために創案されたものである。すなわち、本発明の目的は、義歯の人工歯そのものを可変し、又は人工歯の配列を変更することで、主に口腔の周囲筋肉を人工歯で押圧することにより人の口元の表情を変化させることができる口元表情の可変機能を有する義歯を提供することにある。   The present invention has been developed to solve such problems. That is, an object of the present invention is to change the facial expression of a person by mainly pressing the muscles around the mouth with artificial teeth by changing the artificial teeth themselves or changing the arrangement of the artificial teeth. An object of the present invention is to provide a denture having a function of changing the expression of the mouth.

The present invention is a denture (1) having a function of changing the facial expression of a person's mouth, in which an artificial tooth (3) is arranged on a denture base (2) to be in close contact with an alveolar ridge (TB), and before tooth loss The artificial teeth (3) of the premolar (T4) group and the molar (T5) group arranged on the alveolar crest line (TL) formed by the long axis of natural teeth (NT) the zygomatic major muscle of the mouth in the upper and lower jaw bone body front, which accounts for a large part of the mouth muscles in charge, mainly lifting the large-zygomatic muscle to press from the oral cavity, hit in the shallow layer of the face that is in conjunction with the zygomatic major muscle upper lip nose wings levator, have a wall thickness that upper lip levator and small cheek shoulder muscles also Ru lifting, protruding meat Atsuryou of each artificial tooth (3) in order to vary the expression of human mouth, said by pressing the artificial teeth (3) of the zygomaticus major muscle, der those determined by measuring whether it lifted the extent to which the large zygomatic muscles .
For example, it is preferable to form only the upper artificial teeth (3) thick.

上記構成の発明では、このように構成した人工歯(3)から成る義歯(1)を歯槽堤(TB)に装着することで、上下顎骨体前面における口輪筋、口角挙筋、口角下制筋等の口筋を口腔内から上外方又は下外方へ押圧することにより、その人の口元の表情を変化させることができる。即ち、歯牙の喪失又は歯列の凹んだ特定部位の歯が原因して、口筋に変化を及ぼし、顔面の美的バランスが崩れていることを改善することができる。更に、上下の咬合関係を安定にすると共に、上下口唇(L)の接触範囲を広くすることなく口元の表情を改善することができる。   In the invention having the above-described configuration, the denture (1) composed of the artificial tooth (3) thus configured is attached to the alveolar ridge (TB), so that the orbital muscle, the levator ani muscle, the sub-angular control on the front surface of the maxilla and mandible The facial expression of the person's mouth can be changed by pressing the mouth muscle such as a muscle from the inside of the mouth upward or outward. That is, it is possible to improve the aesthetic balance of the face by changing the mouth muscles due to the loss of teeth or the teeth of a specific part of the dentition. Furthermore, it is possible to stabilize the upper and lower occlusal relationships and improve the expression of the mouth without widening the contact range of the upper and lower lips (L).

中切歯(T1)から犬歯(T3)までの人工歯(3)を主に口唇(L)側へ肉厚に形成したときは、口輪筋を持ち上げることができる。そこで、口元の表情の中で口唇(L)の幅を調整することにより、赤唇(L1)が反転して、いわゆる薄い口唇(L)が厚くなる。   When the artificial teeth (3) from the central incisor (T1) to the canine (T3) are formed thick mainly on the lip (L) side, the muzzle muscles can be lifted. Therefore, by adjusting the width of the lip (L) in the facial expression of the mouth, the red lip (L1) is inverted, and the so-called thin lip (L) becomes thick.

小臼歯(T4)群の人工歯(3)を主に頬(C)側へ肉厚に形成したときは、口角挙筋を持ち上げることができる。そこで、この口角挙筋と連動している大頬骨筋を後上方に引き上げて、頬全体をリフトアップすることができる。更に、この口角挙筋に連動する口角下制筋も引き上げられるので、顎の線がシャープになる。大頬骨筋に連なる眼輪筋にも影響するので目元も上げることができる。   When the artificial teeth (3) of the premolar (T4) group are formed thick mainly on the cheek (C) side, the levator ani can be lifted. Therefore, it is possible to lift up the entire cheek by pulling up the greater zygomatic muscle that is interlocked with the angle levator ani muscle. Furthermore, the lower-mouth angle control muscle that is linked to the levator ani muscle is also raised, so that the jaw line becomes sharper. It also affects the ocular muscles that connect to the greater zygomatic muscle, so you can raise your eyes.

小臼歯(T4)群と大臼歯(T5)群の人工歯(3)を主に頬(C)側へ肉厚に形成したときは、大頬骨筋を持ち上げ、この大頬骨筋と連動している顔面の浅層にあたる上唇鼻翼挙筋、上唇挙筋及び小頬肩筋も持ち上げることにより、頬全体を持ち上げることができる。   When the artificial teeth (3) of the premolar (T4) group and the molar (T5) group are formed thickly mainly on the cheek (C) side, the large zygomatic muscle is lifted and interlocked with this large zygomatic muscle The entire cheek can be lifted by lifting the upper lip nasopharyngeal muscle, the upper lip levator muscle, and the small cheek shoulder muscle, which are the shallower layers of the face.

本発明の口元表情の可変機能を有する義歯は、天然歯と比較して人工歯を肉厚にすることにより、この義歯で人の口元の表情を担当する口筋を口腔内から押圧して、この口筋の緊張を緩和して、人の口元の表情を可変させるものである。   The denture having a variable function of the facial expression of the present invention is to press the mouth muscle responsible for the facial expression of the person's mouth from the oral cavity by making the artificial tooth thicker than the natural tooth, It relaxes the tension of the mouth muscles and changes the facial expression of the person's mouth.

以下、本発明の好ましい実施の形態を図面を参照して説明する。

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1A and 1B show a denture having a function of changing the expression of the mouth in Example 1, wherein FIG. 1A is a bottom view of a maxillary denture and FIG. 1B is a plan view of a mandibular denture. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the denture of Example 1 is mounted on the upper jaw. FIG. 3 is an explanatory front view showing the positional relationship of each facial muscle (mouth muscle). FIG. 4 is an explanatory side view showing each facial muscle (mouth muscle). 5A and 5B are explanatory side cross-sectional views showing a change state of the teeth and facial muscles in FIG. 4, wherein FIG. 5A is a positional relationship between the central incisor and the lip, FIG. c) is the positional relationship between the molar and the mouth muscle, and (d) is the positional relationship between the molar and the mouth muscle.
The denture 1 of Example 1 has artificial teeth 3 arranged on a denture base 2 that is in close contact with the alveolar ridge TB. As shown in FIG. 2, these artificial teeth 3 are pressed by the artificial teeth 3 arranged on the alveolar crest line TL formed by the long axis of the natural tooth NT before the tooth loss from the mouth so that each mouth muscle is It is thick enough to lift upwards. When the denture 1 of the present invention is attached only to the upper jaw, a normal denture is attached to the lower jaw. In the embodiment of FIG. 2, the thick portion is indicated by hatching, and the artificial tooth 3 is pasted with a member having a thickness. However, in addition to such a structure, the artificial tooth 3 itself may be formed with a thick portion indicated by hatching.

このように作成した義歯1は、通常の義歯と同様に口に装着すると、人の口元の表情を担当する口筋の大部分を占める上下顎骨体前面における口元の特定の筋肉を、口腔内から押圧して各口筋を主に上方へ持ち上げることができる。その結果、その口元の表情を可変させることができる。   When the denture 1 created in this way is attached to the mouth in the same manner as a normal denture, a specific muscle of the mouth on the front surface of the upper and lower jaw bones that occupies most of the mouth muscles responsible for the facial expression of the person's mouth is taken from the oral cavity. Each mouth muscle can be lifted mainly upward by pressing. As a result, the facial expression of the mouth can be varied.

特に口元の表情を変えるために、義歯1の人工歯3が口筋を押圧して、各口筋をどの程度上方へ持ち上げるかを測定し、その人工歯3の突出する肉厚量を決定する。人の口元の表情を変化させるために、口筋をどの程度上方へ持ち上げればよいかを測定する。   In particular, in order to change the facial expression of the mouth, the artificial tooth 3 of the denture 1 presses the mouth muscles and measures how much each mouth muscle is lifted upward to determine the protruding thickness of the artificial teeth 3. . In order to change the facial expression of a person's mouth, it is measured how much the mouth muscles should be lifted upward.

図3、図4に示すように、人の口元の表情を可変させるために、口元の筋肉を形成する口輪筋、口角挙筋、口角下制筋等の口筋を押圧し、この口筋を主に上方へ持ち上げる程度の肉厚を有する人工歯3を配列した義歯1を口に装着する。例えば、図5(a)、(b)に示すように、肉厚に形成した、中切歯T1と犬歯T3に相当する人工歯3は、口輪筋を持ち上げることができる。そこで、口元の表情の中で口唇Lの幅を調整することにより、赤唇L1が反転して、いわゆる薄い口唇Lが厚くなる。   As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in order to change the facial expression of a person, the mouth muscles such as the muzzle muscles, the levator levator muscles, and the subangular control muscles that form the muscles of the mouth are pressed. A denture 1 in which artificial teeth 3 having a thickness enough to lift up the teeth is arranged is attached to the mouth. For example, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the artificial teeth 3 corresponding to the central incisors T1 and the canines T3 formed thick can lift the muzzle muscles. Therefore, by adjusting the width of the lip L in the facial expression of the mouth, the red lip L1 is inverted, and the so-called thin lip L becomes thick.

図5(c)に示すように、口唇Lの幅を調整すると同時に口角を挙げ、口筋(口輪筋)を持ち上げるときは、主に小臼歯T4に相当する人工歯3を肉厚に形成し、これを配列した義歯1にする。この口輪筋は口元を円状に囲んでいる筋肉で、口を閉じたり唇Lを突き出す筋肉である。この口輪筋が弱ってくると老けた顔になるといわれている表情筋(口筋)である。この口輪筋を持ち上げることにより、口元の微妙な表情を可変し、張りのある口元を演出することができる。   As shown in FIG. 5 (c), when the width of the lip L is adjusted and the angle of the mouth is raised and the mouth muscle (muzzle muscle) is lifted, the artificial tooth 3 corresponding mainly to the premolar tooth T4 is formed thick. And this is made into the denture 1 which arranged this. The muzzle muscle is a muscle that surrounds the mouth in a circle, and is a muscle that closes the mouth and protrudes the lips L. Facial muscles (oral muscles) that are said to become old when the muzzle muscles weaken. By lifting the muzzle muscles, it is possible to change the delicate expression of the mouth and produce a tight mouth.

図5(d)に示すように、大頬骨筋を持ち上げるときは、大臼歯T5に相当する人工歯3を肉厚に形成し、これを配列した義歯1にする。この大頬骨筋は頬全体を持ち上げるように、顔面の浅層にあたる上唇鼻翼挙筋、上唇挙筋及び小頬肩筋と連動している。この大頬骨筋は、口角を高く上げ、笑顔をつくる筋肉である。この大頬骨筋を押し上げることにより、豊麗線を消してシワを伸ばし、生き生きとした肌に変えることができる。   As shown in FIG. 5 (d), when lifting the greater zygomatic muscle, the artificial tooth 3 corresponding to the molar tooth T5 is formed thick and the denture 1 is arranged. The large zygomatic muscle is interlocked with the upper lip and levator levator muscles, the upper lip levator muscle, and the small cheek shoulder muscles, which are the shallow layers of the face, so as to lift the entire cheek. This great zygomatic muscle is a muscle that raises the corner of the mouth and creates a smile. By pushing up this large zygomatic muscle, you can erase the rich lines and stretch the wrinkles, and turn it into lively skin.

小臼歯T4群に相当する人工歯3を肉厚に形成し、これを配列した義歯1は、口角挙筋を持ち上げ、この口角挙筋と連動している大頬骨筋を後上方に引き上げて、頬全体をリフトアップする。更に、この口角挙筋に連動する口角下制筋も引き上げられるので、顎の線がシャープになる。大頬骨筋に連なる眼輪筋にも影響するので目元も上がる。この大頬骨筋を押し上げることにより、豊麗線を消してシワを伸ばすことができる。口角下制筋は口角を下や斜め下に引く筋肉である。この口角下制筋が弱ると、口角から下顎にかけて縦ジワができてやすい。そこで、この口角下制筋を後上方に引き上げ、頬全体をリフトアップすることができる。また、眼輪筋は目の周りを囲んだ筋肉であり、目を開けたり閉じたりする筋肉である。この眼輪筋は全体に薄いため、素早い動きをしてシワになりやすいが、連関している表情筋の影響によりこれを伸ばすことも可能である。   The artificial tooth 3 corresponding to the premolar tooth T4 group is formed thick, and the denture 1 in which this is arranged lifts the levator ani muscle, and pulls the greater zygomatic muscle linked to this antrum levator muscle upward, Lift up the entire cheek. Furthermore, the lower-mouth angle control muscle that is linked to the levator ani muscle is also raised, so that the jaw line becomes sharper. It also affects the ocular muscles that are connected to the greater zygomatic muscles, so that the eyes rise. By pushing up the large zygomatic muscle, the rich lines can be erased and wrinkles can be stretched. The lower-mouth corner control muscle is a muscle that pulls the mouth corner downward or diagonally downward. If this lower-mouth muscle is weak, vertical wrinkles are likely to form from the mouth corner to the lower jaw. Therefore, the lower mouth corner control muscle can be lifted rearward and upward to lift up the entire cheek. Further, the ocular muscle is a muscle that surrounds the eyes, and is a muscle that opens and closes the eyes. Since this ocular muscle is thin overall, it tends to wrinkle quickly, but it can also be stretched due to the influence of the associated facial muscles.

小臼歯T4群と大臼歯T5群に相当する人工歯3を肉厚に形成し、これを配列した義歯1は、大頬骨筋を持ち上げ、この大頬骨筋と連動している顔面の浅層にあたる上唇鼻翼挙筋、上唇挙筋及び小頬肩筋も持ち上げることにより、頬全体を持ち上げることができる。小頬骨筋は口元を斜めに引き上げ、笑顔づくりに大切な筋肉である。頬のこわばりをなくし、それによって自然な笑顔にする筋肉である。この小頬骨筋を押し上げることにより、小頬骨筋の衰えによる頬のたるみを伸ばすことができる。   The artificial tooth 3 corresponding to the molar T4 group and the molar T5 group is formed thick, and the denture 1 in which the artificial teeth 3 are arranged lifts the large zygomatic muscle and corresponds to the shallow layer of the face interlocked with the large zygomatic muscle. The entire cheek can be lifted by lifting the upper lip nasopharyngeal muscle, the upper lip levator muscle, and the small cheek shoulder muscles. The small zygomatic muscle is an important muscle for making a smile by raising the mouth diagonally. It is a muscle that eliminates the stiffness of the cheeks and thereby makes a natural smile. By pushing up the small zygomatic muscle, it is possible to increase the sagging of the cheek due to the decline of the small zygomatic muscle.

図6は実施例1の義歯を上下顎両方に装着した状態を示す断面図である。
本発明の義歯1は、図2に示したように噛合性を考慮すると上顎用のみが好ましいが、必ずしも上顎のみに限定されず、図6に示すように、上下顎両方に装着することができる。なお、上の口唇Lが薄いときは上の赤唇L1があらわれるように、下顎用義歯1の肉厚より、上顎用義歯1の肉厚を厚くする。
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing a state where the denture of Example 1 is mounted on both upper and lower jaws.
The denture 1 of the present invention is preferably only for the upper jaw in consideration of meshability as shown in FIG. 2, but is not necessarily limited to the upper jaw, and can be mounted on both the upper and lower jaws as shown in FIG. . When the upper lip L is thin, the upper denture 1 is thicker than the lower denture 1 so that the upper red lip L1 appears.

図7は実施例1の口元表情の可変機能を有する義歯の製作方法を示すフロー図である。
本発明の義歯を製作するときは、図示するように、大きく分けて「訓練用義歯の製作」、「本番用義歯の製作」、「歯の排列」及び「微調整」とから成る。
「訓練用義歯製作」
先ず、現在使用している義歯の型どりをする。正中線に対して平行になるように、フェース・ボーと呼ばれる器具を使って測定する。ここで、正中線とは身体の中央を頭頂から縦に真っ直ぐ通る線をいう。
合成樹脂でコピー義歯を作り、この義歯で台を広げたり、小さくしたり、中切歯の前後、臼歯の高低・左右の幅を調節する。台を広げて、当たっているところは削り、足りないところは補充して、その人の口に合うように調整する。
噛み合わせを調整するために、咬合器を用いて上顎用と下顎用義歯がまっすぐに平行になるように調整する。実際に、口に装着して口中で当たって痛い所と痛くない所を見分け、痛い所を削り、凹んだ箇所を埋める。
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a method of manufacturing a denture having a function of changing the expression of the mouth according to the first embodiment.
When the denture of the present invention is manufactured, as shown in the drawing, it is roughly divided into “production of training denture”, “production of denture for production”, “arrangement of teeth” and “fine adjustment”.
"Production of training dentures"
First, shape the dentures currently in use. It is measured using an instrument called a face bow so that it is parallel to the midline. Here, the median line is a line that passes straight through the center of the body vertically from the top of the head.
Make a copy denture with a synthetic resin. Use this denture to widen or shrink the base, and adjust the height and width of the molars before and after the central incisor. Spread out the table, scrape where it hits, replenish where it is missing, and adjust to fit the person's mouth.
In order to adjust the meshing, the maxillary and mandibular dentures are adjusted to be straight and parallel using an articulator. Actually, wear it in the mouth and hit it in the mouth to distinguish between the painful and non-painful places, scrape the painful places, and fill the recessed parts.

「本番用義歯」
次に、粘膜調整材で粘膜を調整し、訓練用義歯が正確に装着できたら、石膏を注ぎ、上顎用と下顎用の模型を作る。上顎用と下顎用の模型を軽く口を閉じて、噛みやすい高さを探す。きれいな顔になるところが、その人の高さになる。
"Production dentures"
Next, the mucous membrane is adjusted with the mucosa adjusting material, and when the training denture is correctly mounted, the plaster is poured to make models for the upper jaw and the lower jaw. Close the mouth lightly for the upper and lower jaw models and search for a height that is easy to bite. The place where the face becomes beautiful becomes the height of the person.

「歯の列」
頬の型と、舌の型を採取する。舌と頬粘膜の間に歯を並べるので、舌の大きさは非常に重要である。
顎関節の左右の位置及び、中心位を調べる。当人の顎の傾斜角度を計るために、石こう模型を作る。また、左右の関節の角度を咬合器で計る。
フェース・ボー測定器を用いて上顎と下顎の位置を咬合器上に再現し、歯を並べて調整する。
"Array of teeth."
Collect cheek mold and tongue mold. The size of the tongue is very important because the teeth are arranged between the tongue and the buccal mucosa.
The left and right positions and the central position of the temporomandibular joint are examined. A gypsum model is made to measure the inclination angle of the person's jaw. In addition, the angle of the left and right joints is measured with an articulator.
The position of the upper and lower jaws is reproduced on the articulator using a face and bow measuring instrument, and the teeth are aligned and adjusted.

更に、本発明では、人の口元の表情を担当する口筋の大部分を占める上下顎骨体前面における口元の特定の筋肉を、口腔内から押圧して各口筋を主に上方へ持ち上げ、その口元の表情を可変させるように肉厚にした人工歯3を配列する。即ち、人工歯3を、歯牙喪失前の天然歯NTの長軸が形成する歯槽頂間線TLより口唇L及び頬C側へ肉厚にした人工歯3を配列する。   Furthermore, in the present invention, specific muscles at the front of the upper and lower jaw bones, which occupy most of the mouth muscles responsible for facial expressions of the person's mouth, are pressed from within the oral cavity to lift each mouth muscle mainly upward, The artificial teeth 3 having a large thickness are arranged so as to vary the facial expression of the mouth. That is, the artificial teeth 3 are arranged such that the artificial teeth 3 are thicker toward the lip L and cheek C side than the alveolar crest line TL formed by the long axis of the natural tooth NT before tooth loss.

本発明の義歯1は、人の口元の表情を可変させることを目的としているので、この義歯1の形状と厚みは重要な意義を有する。口に義歯1を装着した状態から、その人の口元の表情を顔面シミュレーションしながらその形状を特定する。あるいは、顔面等高線を用いて貼着歯1の適正な厚みや形状を測定しながら人工歯3を配列する。   Since the denture 1 of the present invention is intended to change the facial expression of a person's mouth, the shape and thickness of the denture 1 are important. From the state in which the denture 1 is mounted on the mouth, the shape of the person's mouth is identified while performing facial simulation on the facial expression of the person's mouth. Alternatively, the artificial teeth 3 are arranged while measuring an appropriate thickness and shape of the sticking teeth 1 using facial contour lines.

「微調整」
最後に、義歯1を口に装着し、感能を確認して、削ったり、補充したりする。義歯床2の粘膜の最終調整が終われば、生体用シリコーン裏装をして完成する。審美的な面での最終チェックを行い、歯並びや口元の確認をする。
"Tweak"
Finally, the denture 1 is attached to the mouth, and the sensitivity is confirmed, and then shaved or replenished. When the final adjustment of the mucous membrane of the denture base 2 is finished, the biomedical silicone lining is completed. Make a final aesthetic check and check your teeth and mouth.

なお、上述した義歯1は、プラスチックの義歯床2からなるものを示したが、これに限定されない。例えば、歯の根が何本か残っている場合に、根に磁石を付けて入れ歯の保持する「マグネット義歯」にすることができる。このマグネット義歯は、特に下顎の総入れ歯の場合、浮き上がりが少なく、より良く噛むことができるという特徴がある。   In addition, although the denture 1 mentioned above showed what consists of the plastic denture base 2, it is not limited to this. For example, when several tooth roots remain, a magnet can be attached to the root to make a “magnet denture” that the denture holds. This magnet denture has a feature that it can be bitten better with less lifting, especially in the case of a full denture of the lower jaw.

また、プラスチックの義歯床2を、金属で作った金属床義歯にすることができる。この金属床義歯は、通常プラスチックに比べて金属は歯茎の形をより正確に再現できるため、歯茎との密着度が増して、より噛めるようになる。また入れ歯安定剤なども不要になるという特徴がある。   Moreover, the plastic denture base 2 can be made into a metal base denture made of metal. In this metal denture, metal can reproduce the shape of the gum more accurately than normal plastic, so the degree of adhesion with the gum increases and it becomes more chewable. Another feature is that a denture stabilizer is not required.

本発明の義歯1は、必ずしも総入れ歯に限定されない。歯の一部が残っているときは、それに留め金をかける部分入れ歯にすることができる。例えば、部分入れ歯の留め金の部分が雄雌の差込み式になっている「アタッチメント入れ歯」にすることができる。このアタッチメント入れ歯は通常の留め金のように噛んだ時の留め金の動きがないので入れ歯が安定し、しっかり噛めるという特徴がある。   The denture 1 of the present invention is not necessarily limited to a full denture. When part of the tooth remains, it can be a partial denture that clasps it. For example, it can be set as the “attachment denture” in which the clasp portion of the partial denture is a male and female insertion type. This attachment denture is characterized by the fact that the denture does not move when chewed like a normal clasp, so that the denture is stable and can be chewed firmly.

通常の部分入れ歯の材料よりも弾力がある材料から成る「フレキサイト入れ歯」にすることができる。このフレキサイト入れ歯は、入れ歯の床自体で歯に固定するので、留め金が無い入れ歯にできる。また入れ歯を薄くできるので、装着感が良く、違和感が少ないという特徴がある。   It can be a “flexite denture” made of a material that is more elastic than a normal partial denture material. Since this flexite denture is fixed to the tooth by the denture floor itself, it can be a denture without a clasp. In addition, since the denture can be made thin, it is characterized by good wearing feeling and less discomfort.

図8は筋肉の物理モデルを示す説明図ある。
表情筋(口筋)には、図示するように、大頬骨筋や笑筋といったプレート型の筋肉と、眼輪筋や口輪筋といった環状の筋肉が存在する。環状の筋肉については、プレート型の筋肉モデルのパラメタに若干の加工を施し、これらをセグメント化して接続し、ひと続きのループを形成することでモデル化する。即ち、骨表面に接続した筋肉は、その中間(長さに関する影響範囲)に刺激、移動を加えると、この筋肉の多端に接続した皮膚表面(幅に関する影響範囲)に大きく影響する。これは、皮膚表面を動かす筋肉を可変することにより、その表情が大きく変化することを意味する。
本発明はこのような表情筋(口筋)の中間(長さに関する影響範囲)を、義歯1で刺激し、移動を加えることにより、皮膚表面(幅に関する影響範囲)に大きく影響を与えるようにしたものである。
FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing a physical model of muscle.
As shown in the figure, the facial muscles (mouth muscles) include plate-type muscles such as the great cheekbone muscles and laughing muscles, and ring-shaped muscles such as the ocular muscles and the muzzle muscles. Annular muscles are modeled by applying some processing to the parameters of the plate-type muscle model, segmenting them and connecting them to form a continuous loop. That is, when the muscle connected to the bone surface is stimulated and moved in the middle (influence range relating to the length), it greatly affects the skin surface (influence range relating to the width) connected to multiple ends of the muscle. This means that the expression changes greatly by changing the muscles that move the skin surface.
In the present invention, the skin surface (influence range related to width) is greatly affected by stimulating the middle of the facial expression muscle (mouth muscle) (influence range related to length) with denture 1 and adding movement. It is a thing.

図9は実施例2の義歯を上下顎に装着した状態を示す断面図である。
実施例2の義歯21では、歯牙喪失前の天然歯NTの長軸が形成する歯槽頂間線TLより口唇L及び頬C側へ偏位させて配列したものである。このような構造の人工歯3でも、人の口元の表情を担当する口筋の大部分を占める上下顎骨体前面における口元の特定の筋肉を、口腔内から押圧して各口筋を上方へ持ち上げることができる。
FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view showing a state where the denture of Example 2 is mounted on the upper and lower jaws.
In the denture 21 of Example 2, the dentures 21 are arranged so as to be deviated from the alveolar crest line TL formed by the long axis of the natural tooth NT before tooth loss toward the lip L and cheek C. Even in the artificial tooth 3 having such a structure, specific muscles at the front of the upper and lower jaw bones, which occupy most of the mouth muscles responsible for the facial expression of a person's mouth, are pressed from within the oral cavity to lift each mouth muscle upward. be able to.
