Description

[0001] A communication system for dental treatment [0001]

More particularly, the present invention relates to a dental sign delivery system for dental treatment. More particularly, the present invention relates to a dental sign delivery system for dental treatment, and more particularly, To a physician indicating delivery system for dental treatment.

Generally, in dentistry, removal of teeth, grinding, suturing of teeth, and treatment of implants are the main factors.

Such a treatment procedure is performed by using a chair having a head rest which supports the patient's head and a cradle in which the patient's arm is suspended.

Because of the nature of the dental treatment, the patient is treated with the mouth always open throughout the treatment process, so that the saliva builds up in the patient's mouth. Accordingly, there is a problem that it is difficult for the patient to transmit the accurate indication to the practitioner during the treatment process.

In addition, since the entire face except the mouth is covered with the surgical gown, there is a problem that it is difficult to transmit the accurate indication to the practitioner during the treatment.

In addition, most of the patients experience pain when suturing, implanting, and scaling the teeth, but the practitioner can not accurately determine the degree of pain. As a result, resistance to dental treatment is increasing.
