Description

Capsule-type protective film and functional dental chair having the same {Capsule protector and dental chair with the same}

The present invention relates to a capsule-type protective film and a functional dental chair having the same, and more particularly, a dental treatment or procedure can be performed in a state in which the patient's affected area or mouth is covered, whereby teeth peeled from the teeth It relates to a capsule-type protective film capable of preventing contamination of the surrounding air as well as preventing viral infection as various foreign substances mixed with powder, dust, saliva, etc. are scattered, and a functional dental chair having the same.

Dental (periodontal) disease can appear in various forms depending on the cause and depending on the person. Therefore, after diagnosing the disease, the dentist establishes a meticulous and meticulous treatment plan, and then proceeds with treatment or dental treatment such as caries treatment, scaling, implant, denture, orthodontics, according to the cause.

Recently, even if it is not a dental disease, lamination or teeth whitening is sometimes performed to maintain a good impression, which can also be performed at the dentist.

A dental chair is essential in dentistry so that the above-described various treatments or dental procedures can be performed. The patient or operator may receive the various treatments or procedures described above while lying on the dental chair.

As such, it is common for a patient to receive treatment or treatment while lying on the dental chair, but during such treatment or procedure, dust or saliva generated in the patient's mouth may splash or scatter and spread to the surrounding area of the dental chair, making the operation environment worse. In severe cases, it may provide the cause of the viral infection route by droplet.

This will be described in more detail by taking dental caries treatment as an example. During caries treatment, the doctor approaches the patient's mouth while lying on a dental chair and looks inside the mouth to clean the teeth and remove the rotten area. When removing the rotted part, dig out or grind the rotted part with a separate grinder.

When digging up or grinding a rotten part (affected part), washing water is sprayed into the affected part. In addition, foreign substances such as tooth powder or dust that are peeled off (falling off) from the teeth are sucked and discharged through a suction tool so that the foreign substances do not pass to the patient's neck.

However, since this classical method proceeds with the patient's mouth open without any other means of shielding the patient's mouth, considerable foreign substances scatter around the dental chair during dental treatment and contaminate the air around the dental chair. A doctor or nurse can become infected with the virus by droplets from a patient.

Therefore, it is common for doctors or nurses to wear a mask to perform the procedure, but considering that it is difficult to prevent the transmission of bacteria or viruses by contaminating the air around the dental chair with only basic protective measures such as a mask, The need for a new concept of a capsule-type protective film to solve this problem arises.
