Abstract
The present invention provides effective protection of radiation that can adversely affect teeth and periodontal tissues regardless of treatment or diagnosis in radiotherapy or radiology diagnosis.
To this end, the present invention provides an arch-shaped mouth guard detachably mounted on upper and lower teeth and periodontal tissues constituting a dental arch; A mouth guard for radiation protection is provided inside the mouthguard body, in which a radiation shielding material of a radiopaque material is buried so that radiation protection against teeth and periodontal is possible.
Description
The present invention relates to a mouse guard, and more particularly, to a mouse guard that can effectively protect tooth periodontal tissue in radiation therapy such as cancer treatment and radiation diagnosis.
Generally, radiation therapy for cancer treatment affects the health of the whole body. Particularly, cancer sites exposed to radiation can have a negative impact on nearby tissues, especially teeth and periodontal tissues from a dental point of view.
In addition, even in the case of radiography for diagnosis, it can have a bad influence on the adjacent tissues, especially the teeth and the periodontal tissue from the viewpoint of the dentist, irrespective of the diagnosis.
Therefore, when performing radiotherapy and radiography, it is important to protect organs with anatomical structures irrelevant to medical diagnosis or treatment, and to prevent radiation from being exposed to unnecessary areas such as diagnosis.
However, in the past, there was no equipment to protect teeth or periodontal tissues during radiation therapy, and the thyroid and chest were protected during cephalo radiography such as panoramic photographing or cephalopod photography. When the chest radiograph was taken, the chest was exposed to radiation There is only radiation protection equipment that protects the thyroid gland, but there is no protective equipment considering radiation protection of teeth and periodontal tissue.
Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem [8] Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a mouse guard which can effectively protect the teeth and periodontal tissue from radiation, regardless of treatment or diagnosis, It has its purpose.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a mouth guard of an arch shape detachably mounted on upper and lower teeth and periodontal tissues constituting a dental arch; A mouth guard for radiation protection is provided on the inside of the mouth guard main body, in which a radiation shielding material of a radiopaque material is embedded so as to enable radiation protection against teeth and periodontal diseases.
In the above-described configuration, the radiation shielding material has a structure buried along the tooth row, and is formed over the entire region along the tooth row from the anterior portion to the left and right molar portions.
In the above-described configuration, the radiation shielding material is formed so as to shield the front and back surfaces of the teeth and the periodontal teeth on the maxillary side, and the front and rear surfaces of the teeth and the periodontal on the mandible side.
On the other hand, in the above-described configuration, the mouth guard main body is divided into an upper side guard body and a lower side guard body, and the radiation shielding material of the radiopaque material is contained in the separated upper side guard body and the lower side guard body And can be buried.
The radiation shielding material may be embedded in the mouthguard body as a foil, and the radiation shielding material may be at least one of lead and zirconia, or may be a nano-tungsten-based radiation shielding material.
In the above-described configuration, the radiation shielding material may further comprise a resin sheath.
The effect of the mouse guard for radiation protection of the present invention is as follows.
According to the present invention, it is possible to safely protect a patient's teeth and periodontal tissues by effectively protecting radiation, which can adversely affect teeth and periodontal tissues, regardless of treatment or diagnosis in radiotherapy or radiology diagnosis.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Prior to the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the present invention has been given the same name as the mouth guard for protecting the teeth and the jaw joint from the conventional external impact in terms of the intraoral structure, but the functional side and structural features It is presumed that the mouse guards of the present invention can be manufactured in a customized manner in accordance with the ready-made products and individual oral structures as in the conventional mouse guards.
[Example 1]
Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the mouth guard according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes an upper and lower teeth T1 and T2 and an arch-like shape detachably mounted on the periodontal As a mouth guard, a
At this time, it is preferable that the
The
Therefore, the
More specifically, the mouth guard of the present embodiment is a case where there is no through hole (refer to Figs. 4 to 6) for assisting breathing in the mouth guard
The
The
The nano-tungsten-based radiation shielding material is produced by uniformly dispersing a nano-sized radiation shielding material on a polymer substrate, and then molding the nano-tungsten-based radiation shielding material by dispersing the surface-treated nanotungsten powder in a polymer resin in a high density.
The
Particularly, when the
In the present embodiment, the mouth guard
The operation of the mouse guard for radiation protection according to the first embodiment of the present invention constructed as described above is as follows.
The radiological guard mouth guard of the first embodiment of the present invention is intended to be worn by the patient in the oral cavity during radiotherapy or radiology diagnosis and thus, unlike the conventional one, a bad influence on the teeth and periodontal tissue It is possible to effectively protect the radiation that can give the radiation.
That is, in the case of conventional radiation therapy and radiography, regardless of medical diagnosis or treatment, teeth and periodontal tissues may be exposed to radiation and adversely affect tooth and periodontal tissue.
However, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, since the
[Example 2]
4 to 6, the mouse guard according to the second embodiment of the present invention basically follows the configuration of the mouse guard according to the first embodiment described above. However, the mouse guard according to the present embodiment is a mouse guard Due to the difference in the configuration of the
