1 is a perspective view of a tooth tray unit provided with an ultrasonic wave generating vibrator according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the tooth tray unit including the ultrasonic wave generating vibrator according to the present invention is formed in the tray body 10 curved in the form of a bow, and formed in the U-shaped cross section. It is similar to the structure of the conventional impression tooth tray is composed of a support frame 20 that can support the occlusal pressure of the oral tissue, and the handle 30 protruding to the outside of the tray body 10.

Tooth trays are used for impressions and are used together with abnormal materials when they are popular for the reproduction of oral tissue needed for diagnosis and treatment in case of tooth defects or damages. It consists of a concave structure that can hold an impression material for popularizing the inner impression structure, and a handle formed on the outer side of the mouth to facilitate treatment.

The handle is integrally formed on the outer surface of the tray body to be formed to have a long bar shape so that it can be gripped by hand, and the handle 30 is inserted into the oral cavity while being gripped by the hand.

However, in the present invention, it is characterized in that the recessed groove 12 is formed on the inner surface of the tray body 10, the tray body 10 is preferably made of a silicon material.

A perspective view illustrating a state in which a vibrator is fixed to a tooth tray unit according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the recessed groove 12 is continuously formed on the inner surface of the tray body 10 so that the vibrator 40 generating ultrasonic waves by applying a frequency is fixed, and the user has the vibrator 40. The position at which is fixed can be changed continuously so that the vibrator can be fixed at the correct position.

The vibrator 40 will be described in detail.

The vibrator 40 emits ultrasonic waves by receiving a frequency signal and vibrates, and is formed in a plate shape.

The vibrator 40 is usually vibrated at a high frequency of about 1 ~ 5Mhz.

It is composed of a piezoelectric element that vibrates when a voltage is applied, and has a unique natural frequency. Generally, it is manufactured to have various kinds of natural frequencies such as 1Mhz, 3Mhz, and 5Mhz.

Therefore, when a signal having the same frequency as the natural frequency is input to the vibrator 40 having a unique natural frequency, the vibrator 40 causes resonance to vibrate at the maximum amplitude, thereby maximizing ultrasonic waves.

The emitted ultrasound mainly promotes metabolism by fever of the affected area, micro massage by high frequency vibration, and biological chemistry acting on other tissues, thereby promoting treatment.

In particular, when ultrasonic waves are radiated between the fixture and the adjacent alveolar bone after the implant procedure, bone formation is rapidly promoted to induce the fixation and the alveolar bone to be firmly fused.

In order to easily set the position where the vibrator 40 is fixed, it is preferable that a tooth number indicating the fixed position of the vibrator is displayed on the upper surface of the tray body 10 as shown in FIG. 2.

The vibrator 40 fixed to the recessed groove 12 is connected to the control unit 44 through the connecting line 42, the through hole 14 is formed in the tray body 10 so that the connecting line 42 can pass through. It is preferable.

The controller 44 generally generates a constant frequency and serves to apply an electrical signal to the vibrator 40. The controller 44 displays a power switch frequency generator, a frequency amplifier, a frequency selector, and various numerical values. The detailed description will be omitted.

The user inserts the vibrator 40 into the recessed groove 12 of the tray body 10 in a state in which the vibrator 40 is connected to the control unit 44, and is inserted into the oral cavity of the patient using the handle 30.

At this time, the vibrator 40 is positioned on the side surface of the gum alveolar bone 1 in which the fixture 2 is fixed, and when the position is not correct, the tray unit is removed again to adjust the position.

When the vibrator is positioned at the correct position, the user selects and operates the frequency sent to the vibrator 40 through the power switch to treat for a predetermined time.

In order to confirm the correct treatment time, the control unit may further include a timer function.
