Description

[0001] ENDODONTIC TREATMENT APPARATUS [0002]

The present invention relates to a root canal treatment apparatus, and more particularly, to a root canal treatment apparatus capable of protecting the safety of a subject by preventing a tip for treating the root canal from being broken at the root canal.

Generally, when the inside of the teeth is infected by bacteria in the cavity or caused by the harmful stimuli, the contaminated tissues and dimensions in the root canal are completely removed, and the filling material is filled after washing to prevent the bacteria from intruding into the root canal. Is a method that allows a tooth to be cured healthily.

These dental neurological treatment techniques have recently become very important, and the complete removal of foreign bodies in the root canal is essential to the success of the treatment. In particular, the root canal inside the root canal is not only small in size but also in contact with tissue cells of the gum, which makes it very difficult to remove foreign matter.

There are various apparatuses for cleaning foreign substances in the root canal, and there are various apparatuses for washing the foreign substances in the root canal, such as syringeneedleirrigation, manual dynamic irrigation, brush, sonic irrigation, ultrasonic irrigation, and laser-activated irrigation.

Among these, the latest technologies that can be washed into the micro-canal are ultrasonic irrigation and laser-activatedirrigation.

Laser-activated irrigation is expensive, but its stability is not yet fully verified. Ultrasonic irrigation is the preferred treatment for actual treatment.

Ultrasonic irrigation is designed to enhance the cleaning effect by creating acoustic streaming and air bubbles with ultrasound while injecting sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) cleaning solution through a very thin needle which can be bent. .

However, since the presently used needles are very thin, there is a problem that they are easily broken or broken by the weak supporting stiffness against ultrasonic vibration. In such a case, it is necessary to continuously replace with a new needle, And it is not economical.

Furthermore, since the distal end portion of the entire needle that is first inserted into the root canal is thinner than other portions, there is a problem that when the needle is broken, a large accident that the debris is caught in the root canal occurs inevitably.

The tip 20 can be filled with a filling material, The upper side is bent at a predetermined angle so that the therapeutic medication and the like can be easily injected.

Since the detailed technical structure of the main body 10 can be understood from known techniques, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

On the other hand, the lower end of the main body 10 is mounted on a handle (not shown). The handle is held in the hand of a practitioner and is formed into a predetermined shape that is easy to grip. Although not shown, a protrusion or pad for preventing slipping and improving gripping force may be provided.

The tip 20 is for treating the root canal and is fixed to the main body 10 through a fixing part 30 which is spaced apart from the main body part 10 by a predetermined distance.

The tip 20 may be formed of a stainless steel material.

In addition, the outer surface of the distal end of the tip 20 can be easily filled with a filling material, a therapeutic agent, and a therapeutic drug to treat the root canal.

In addition, a plurality of graduations (not shown) may be displayed on the outer surface of the tip 20 so that the practitioner can grasp that a precise length is inserted into the root canal.

That is, the operator can accurately recognize the depth of the root canal through the above scale, and the tip 20 can not reach the end of the root canal, or a part of the treatment is not performed, or the root 20 is broken, To prevent penetration.

At this time, the scale may be formed on the tip 20 at intervals of 1 mm or 1 cm.

The scale may be formed to have specific colors such as black, green, and blue so that the operator can easily identify the scale.

At this time, an ultrasonic unit (not shown) is installed on either the main body 10 or the handle.

The ultrasonic wave unit may include a piezoelectric element (not shown) and a power supply unit (not shown).

The piezoelectric element is generally a polycrystalline material used for an ultrasonic oscillator, such as lead zirconate titanate (PZT), lead zirconate titanate complex perovskite (PZT), titanate (BatiO3), etc. May be used, but is not limited thereto.

When a voltage is applied to the piezoelectric element through the power supply unit, ultrasonic waves are generated by vibrating the piezoelectric element, and vibration is transmitted to the tip 20, thereby facilitating the treatment of the root canal.

That is, since the tip 20 is formed of stainless steel material, ultrasonic bubble impact is generated due to the vibration transmitted to the entire surface, and ultrasound cleaning can be performed perfectly.

The fixation unit 30 stably fixes the tip 20 to prevent the tip 20 from being easily broken during the treatment of the root canal through the ultrasonic waves. Even if the tip 20 is broken, And includes a micro tube 31 and a tube 32 made of a stainless steel material so as to protect the safety of the subject by making it fracture from the outside.

The microtube 31 fixes the tip 20 and is formed to have a larger diameter than the tip 20.

The micro tube 31 is opened on both sides and a mounting space is formed therein. The tip 20 is mounted in the mounting space of the micro tube 31.

The micro tube 31 is made of any one material selected from flexible polyimide, plastic, and synthetic resin to stably fix the tip 20, and a metal tip 20 and a tube 32).

The tube 32 fixes the tip 20 and the micro tube 31 and is formed to have a larger diameter than the micro tube 31.

The tube 32 is opened at both sides and a mounting space is formed therein. One end of the micro tube 31 is mounted in the mounting space of the tube 32.

One end of the tube 32 is mounted in the space inside the tip of the main body 10.

At this time, the micro tube 31, the tube 32, the tube 32, and the main body 10 can be firmly coupled with each other through a press or a pliers by a press method.

Next, the operation of the endodontic treatment apparatus according to the present invention and the unique effects appearing in the process will be described.

The endodontic treatment apparatus according to the present invention can treat the root canal by generating vibration through the ultrasonic wave portion of the main body 10 after filling the tip outer surface of the tip 20 with a filling material, a therapeutic agent, a therapeutic drug,

Conventionally, a metal tip is attached to a metal body to treat the root canal. In this case, however, the metal and the metal collide with each other due to the ultrasonic vibration, and the tip is easily broken.

However, in the case of the present invention, the micro tube 31 prevents the tip 20 from colliding with the tube 32, so that the tip 20 is not easily broken. As a result, strong ultrasonic waves are transmitted to the root canal The root canal treatment can be easily carried out.

On the other hand, the tip 20 and the micro tube 31 are eventually broken at the maximum support limit for ultrasonic vibration by frequent use. At this time, the portion of the micro-tube 31 that is broken by the ultrasonic vibration is broken at the point where the micro-tube 31 is attached to the tube 32, that is, the portion located outside the mouth of the subject, Therefore, it is possible to protect the safety of the subject.

As a result, the endodontic treatment apparatus (1) according to the present invention can improve the efficiency and efficiency of the root canal treatment as the tip fracture phenomenon frequently occurred in the conventional root canal treatment is not easily generated, And satisfaction of both the user and the subject can be improved.

4 is a side view showing a state in which the reinforcing portion 40 is applied to the root canal treatment apparatus according to the present invention.

A plurality of reinforcing portions 40 are formed on the outer surface of the tube 32 with a gap therebetween.

The reinforcing portion 40 may be integrally formed in a curved shape during the manufacturing process of the STS tube 32.

The reinforcing portion 40 enhances the stiffness of the STS tube 32 and uniformly disperses the ultrasonic vibration.

That is, the STS tube 32 has rigidity against the ultrasonic vibration generated in the treatment of the root canal, so that the coupling strength with the micro tube 31 is stably ensured, The bonding force of the tube 31 can be stably secured.

5 is a view showing a state in which a detachment prevention unit is applied to a root canal treatment apparatus according to the present invention.

The separation preventing portion 50 is inserted and fixed to an open portion of the main body 10 in a state where the outer peripheral edge of the other side of the tube 32 is wrapped.

The separation preventing portion 50 is made of an epoxy resin adhesive or rubber having excellent adhesion and frictional force and having tensile strength so that the coupling force between the body portion 10 and the tube 32 can be stably secured, The tube 32 is prevented from being separated from the main body 10 by the ultrasonic vibration.

This makes it possible to further improve the efficiency and efficiency of endodontic treatment, and further improve the quality of the product and the satisfaction of both the practitioner and the subject.

The present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications and other embodiments falling within the scope of the present invention can be made by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.
