図1は本発明の伏臥式歯科処置装置の模式図である。FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a prone dental treatment apparatus according to the present invention.

図1を参照しながら本発明の伏臥式歯科処置装置の実施例を説明する。図1において、10は伏臥式歯科処置装置、12は装置本体、14はスピットン、16は交換用ツール収納・滅菌機構、18はマニピュレータ、20は監視用ビデオカメラ、22はモニター兼入力装置、24は汚物分離手段、26は頭部固定手段、28は下顎固定手段、30は電子制御装置である。モニター兼入力装置22は例えばタッチスクリーン式入力インターフェースを備えた液晶ディスプレーにより形成することができる。   An embodiment of the prone dental treatment apparatus of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 1, 10 is a prosthetic dental treatment device, 12 is a device body, 14 is a spiton, 16 is a replacement tool storage / sterilization mechanism, 18 is a manipulator, 20 is a video camera for monitoring, 22 is a monitor and input device, 24 Is a waste separation means, 26 is a head fixing means, 28 is a lower jaw fixing means, and 30 is an electronic control device. The monitor and input device 22 can be formed by a liquid crystal display provided with a touch screen type input interface, for example.

図示した実施例においては、伏臥式歯科処置装置10は使用者が自ら口腔内を洗浄することの可能な口腔内洗浄装置の形に構成されている。このため、マニピュレータ18には歯ブラシおよび洗浄水噴射ノズルが着脱自在に装着してある。
他の口腔ケア又は歯科処置にこの装置10を使用する場合には、交換用ツール収納・滅菌機構16には、タービンドリルのような回転式歯科工具、振動式歯科工具、及び/又は往復動式歯科工具を格納し、マニピュレータ18に交換可能に装着することができる。
In the illustrated embodiment, the prone dental treatment device 10 is configured in the form of an intraoral cleaning device that allows the user to clean the oral cavity by himself. For this reason, a toothbrush and a cleaning water spray nozzle are detachably attached to the manipulator 18.
When using the device 10 for other oral care or dental procedures, the replacement tool storage and sterilization mechanism 16 includes a rotating dental tool such as a turbine drill, a vibrating dental tool, and / or a reciprocating type. A dental tool can be stored and attached to the manipulator 18 interchangeably.

この装置の使用態様を説明するに、口腔内洗浄装置10の形に構成された図示実施例の場合には、この装置は、例えば介護施設や老人ホームなどに設置しておいて、介護人が要介護者の口腔ケアをするために使用することができる。
この使用態様においては、介護人は被介護者を椅子(図示せず)に適宜着座させ、被介護者を伏臥させて、図示したようにその頭部と下顎を固定手段26、28に固定する。椅子には身長や体型の異なる被介護者を無理なく着座させるための調節手段(図示せず)を設けると共に、固定手段26、28にも頭部の大きさや形状に適合させるための調節手段を設けることができる。
伏臥した被介護者の口から入れ歯や補綴物などが落下した場合には落下物は落下物回収ネット(図示せず))に回収される。このように伏臥姿勢で口腔ケアが行なわれるので、被介護者が入れ歯や補綴物などを誤って嚥下することが防止される。
被介護者が位置決めされると、介護人はモニター兼入力装置22又は図示しないスイッチを操作することによりマニピュレータ18を作動させ、洗浄水噴射ノズルから洗浄水を噴射させながら歯ブラシを運動させて口腔内洗浄を行う。マニピュレータ18に装着された歯ブラシの運動は予めプログラムされたシーケンスに従って電子制御装置30により制御することができる。
口腔内洗浄は伏臥姿勢で行なわれ、洗浄中は洗浄液や唾液は自然に排出されるので、口腔内に唾液や洗浄液が溜まることがない。従って、洗浄液を飲み込んだり窒息したりする危険が少ない。
使用済みの洗浄水は汚物分離部24に回収され、汚物を分離した上で排出される。
使用後は、洗浄水噴射ノズルと歯ブラシは交換用ツール収納・滅菌機構16に戻され、滅菌処理を受ける。
In the case of the illustrated embodiment configured in the form of the intraoral cleaning device 10, this device is installed in a care facility or a nursing home, for example. Can be used to provide oral care for care recipients.
