Description

Ultrasonic therapeutic device for dental use {Ultrasonic therapeutic device for dental clinic}

The present invention relates to a dental ultrasound therapy device, and more particularly, to a dental ultrasound therapy device that can generate ultrasonic waves and can be inserted into the oral cavity to treat teeth, alveolar bone, gums and the like in the dentist.

As is commonly known, ultrasonic waves are applied to living tissues to facilitate the flow of blood or lymph to blood vessels, cells, and lymphatic vessels, and to increase the temperature of subcutaneous cells to promote the production of destroyed tissues. The deposited waste is separated from tissue cells and purified, as well as promoting bone formation, which is widely used for medical purposes. In particular, it is often used for the purpose of implantation, gum treatment, alveolar bone formation and treatment for dental implants.

Conventional general dental ultrasound therapy is as shown in FIG.

As shown, a probe (1) disposed in close proximity to an area requiring treatment in the oral cavity, a vibrator (2) installed inside the probe (1) and irradiating ultrasonic waves to the treatment site, and one side of the probe (1) It is made of a handle (3) extending to the hand and a frequency generator for vibrating the vibrator (2) by applying an appropriate frequency signal to the vibrator (2), although not shown. Of course, the vibrator 2 and the frequency generator are connected to the wire (4) and the wire is generally built along the inside of the handle (3).

The conventional dental ultrasonic therapy device of this structure has the following disadvantages.

Probes that are directly introduced into the oral cavity of a patient are usually made of metal or synthetic resin. When the vibrator generating ultrasonic waves vibrates, heat, electromagnetic waves, and the like are generated. In particular, the synthetic resin probe may melt due to heat generated in the vibrator, or, in the case of metal probes, may cause burns in the oral cavity due to heat transfer, and it is well known that electromagnetic waves are harmful to the human body.

In addition, synthetic probes are lightweight but may be weak and toxic, while metal probes are high in weight, heavy in weight, and expensive to produce.

In addition, since the probe made of synthetic resin or metal is not deformed by external force, it does not adhere to the skin when it comes in contact with the curved surface such as the gum, so that it cannot be properly delivered to the subcutaneous layer where ultrasound is required. Difficult to do

The present invention has been made to solve the conventional problems as described above is an object of the present invention is a ceramic material having a strength, adiabatic, electromagnetic wave shielding, antibacterial, non-toxic, etc. that is introduced into the oral cavity of the patient in contact with the treatment site It is to provide a dental ultrasonic therapy device.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a dental ultrasonic therapy device that the probe is made of a flexible material can be in close contact with the treatment site of the curved surface.

The present invention for achieving the above object is a dental ultrasonic therapy device, a probe formed in the oral cavity and recessed receiving portion, the oscillator accommodated in the receiving portion to generate an ultrasonic wave, and is formed extending on one side of the probe user It comprises a handle that can be gripped by the hand, characterized in that the probe is made of ceramic.

In another aspect, the present invention provides a dental ultrasonic therapy device comprising: a probe formed in the oral cavity and having a concave accommodating part, a ceramic part made of ceramic material embedded in the outer part of the accommodating part, a vibrator accommodated in the accommodating part and generating ultrasonic waves; It is formed on one side of the probe characterized in that it comprises a handle that can be gripped by the user's hand.

In another aspect, the present invention is a dental ultrasonic therapy device, a probe made of a flexible elastic material to be inserted into the oral cavity and deformable by external force, a vibrator embedded in the probe to generate ultrasound, coupled to one side of the probe user's hand It characterized in that it comprises a handle that can be gripped by.

Preferably, the probe is characterized in that made of silicon.

Preferably, the probe is characterized in that it contains a plurality of ceramic particles.

Preferably, the probe has a quadrangular shape, and a plurality of vibrators are embedded in the probe.

The effect of the present invention by the above-described configuration is as follows.

Since the material of the probe that is inserted into the patient's mouth and comes in contact with the treatment area is made of ceramic, it has the same strength as metal and at the same time, it is not harmful to the human body because it has insulation, electromagnetic wave shielding, non-toxicity and antimicrobial properties, but also radiates far infrared rays, anions, etc. Because of the action of ultrasound and biological tissues to shorten the treatment period.

In addition, since the probe is made of a flexible material such as silicon, the probe is in close contact with a wide treatment area, and thus ultrasonic waves are evenly penetrated into all the treatment areas, thereby enabling efficient treatment.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Figure 2 is a perspective view showing a dental ultrasonic therapy device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown, the present invention is largely divided into a probe 10, a vibrator 20, and a handle 30.

The probe 10 is a cylindrical case having a receiving portion 12 formed therein, and one side is open and the other side is sealed. And the receiving portion 12 is inserted and installed with a vibrator 20 to be described later.

In the present invention, the material of the probe 10 is made of ceramic and is generally manufactured by sintering ceramic powder.

As is known, ceramic is a non-metallic inorganic solid material baked at high temperature and has various characteristics. First of all, the ceramic is semi-permanent and has excellent wear resistance and heat resistance.

It also has the effect of absorbing or extinguishing electromagnetic waves. In addition, ceramics are harmless to the human body, have excellent antibacterial effects, and have pores to deodorize. In addition, it emits far infrared rays and anions that promote microvascular expansion, promote blood circulation and metabolism, and discharge waste and harmful metals.It is known that far-infrared emissivity is about 90%, and anions emit about 800 ~ 1000 ea / cc. Therefore, it is attracting attention as an environmentally friendly material.

The vibrator 20 to be described later in the present invention is a vibrating body vibrating at a high frequency by the input of an external signal, so vibration and heat are generated.

Unlike the conventional probe made of synthetic resin, the probe 10 made of ceramic maintains strength and abrasion resistance against vibration of the vibrator 20, and does not cause rust due to heat generated from the vibrator 20. In addition, it is non-toxic and has excellent antibacterial effect, which is hygienic and emits far infrared rays and negative ions, thus doubling the therapeutic effect.

In addition, compared to the conventional probe made of metal, the strength is guaranteed and semi-permanent, it blocks electromagnetic waves and blocks the heat generated from the vibrator, there is no fear of burn due to heat transfer when the probe 10 is introduced into the mouth of the patient.

Next, the vibrator 20 and the handle 30 will be described together.

The vibrator 20 receives a frequency signal and vibrates ultrasonic waves by vibrating, and is formed in a disc shape and inserted into the receiving part 12 of the probe 10.

More specifically, the vibrator 20 is composed of a piezoelectric element that vibrates when a voltage is applied and radiates with a unique natural frequency. The radiated ultrasound stimulates the treatment by mainly promoting metabolism by fever of the affected area, promoting bone tissue formation, micro massage by high frequency vibration, and other biological chemistry acting in the living tissue.

In addition, the handle 30 extends to one side of the probe 10 to form a long bar shape to be gripped by hand, and a passage 34 is formed therein so as to communicate with the receiving part 12. . The wire 32 is disposed through the passage 34 to be connected to the vibrator 20 and an external frequency signal generator (not shown). The material of the handle 30 is generally a synthetic resin.

Another embodiment of the present invention will be described.

3 is a perspective view showing another preferred embodiment of the present invention.

The invention shown in FIG. 3 consists of a probe 10, a ceramic part 40, a vibrator 20, and a handle 30.

Unlike the invention shown in FIG. 2, the probe 10 is made of a general material and embedded in the probe 10 on the probe 10, that is, outside the receiving portion 12 as shown. The part 40 is provided and the ceramic part 40 is made of a ceramic material.

The ceramic part 40 may be provided in a form in which a plurality is embedded, may be embedded in a lump shape, and may be mixed with the probe 10 in a small particle form to be molded.

In addition, since the ceramic part 40 exhibits the functions and effects of the ceramic as described above, the effect of the treatment is increased.

Description of the vibrator 20 and the handle 30 is the same as described above will be omitted.

Look at another embodiment of the present invention.

4 is a perspective view showing still another preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 is a perspective view showing a case where there are a plurality of vibrators in FIG.

The present invention shown in Figure 4 consists of a probe 10, a vibrator 20 and the handle 30, the probe 10 is made of a flexible and elastic material is easily bent or bent by an external force.

Therefore, a material such as silicone is preferable, but since silicone is flexible and elastic, it is elastic and comfortable to wear, and there is no feeling of foreign body in the oral cavity because it feels soft to touch the treated area. As well as harmless to human body.

In addition, the silicone bends well in nature, so it adheres well to the cured portion of the curved surface to cover a wide range of treatment, and the transmission characteristics of the ultrasound can be maximized, thereby maximizing the effect of treatment.

In addition, a plurality of ceramic particles 42 may be included in the probe 10. In other words, when the probe 10 is made of silicon, the ceramic particles 42 are blended to form and integrally manufacture the probe 10. As described above, the ceramic particles 42 also provide a beneficial effect on the treated area to promote the treatment.

Of course, it is also possible to embed a large lump-shaped ceramic, not particles, such as the ceramic portion 40 shown in FIG.

The probe 10 may be molded into various shapes and is generally made of a rectangular parallelepiped.

On the other hand, the vibrator 20 is embedded in the probe 10, which can be made by molding integrally with silicon so as to include the vibrator at first.

Here, in the case of the electric wire 32 connected to the vibrator 20, the silicon may be molded so that the general copper wire is included in the silicon, but the wire connection pattern required for the flexible and soft fine copper fiber or the beryllium copper thin plate is used for etching. It is desirable to have a flexibility so as to correspond to the bending of the silicon.

As shown in FIG. 5, the vibrator 20 may be provided in plural in the probe 10, which is also put together when molding the probe 10 made of silicon.

FIG. 6 shows a state diagram of the use of the present invention shown in FIG. 5. In general, when the handle 30 is gripped by hand and a set frequency signal is input, the vibrator 20 emits ultrasonic waves while vibrating.

At this time, the probe 10 is introduced into the oral cavity of the patient, contacts the treatment site (implant procedure, etc.) and performs treatment for a prescribed time.

At this time, when treatment is required on the curved gum as shown in FIG. 6, the probe 10 made of a flexible material is pressed against both gums, and bent to be used in close contact with the gum. If the position between the lip and the gum, the probe 10 is pressed by the lip so that it naturally comes in close contact with the gum, and the plurality of vibrators 20 also come in close contact with the gum, so that the treatment is effectively performed.

As described above in detail with reference to the drawings is only an embodiment of the present invention, the true scope of the present invention will be determined by the claims to be described later.
