Description

The invention relates to medicine, namely to surgical dentistry.

Small salivary glands (MSF) are of great importance to the body. They exercise local immunity of the oral cavity due to the production and secretion of various types of immunoglobulins. In addition, MSF, located under the mucous membrane of the cheeks, lips, tongue, sublingual region, constantly secrete salivary secretion and create comfort in the oral cavity. The amount of this secretion secreted per day is insignificant, however, if the functional activity of these salivary glands is impaired, patients experience a dry mouth (xerostomia).

Diagnosis of the functional activity of the small salivary glands is performed using the sialometry technique. Normally, 20-22 MSF function (Romacheva I.F., Yudin L.A., Afanasyev V.V., Morozov A.N. Diseases and injuries of the salivary glands. - M., Medicine, 1987, p.14).

To diagnose the functional activity of the small salivary glands, a strip of filter paper of a certain mass is used, which is applied to the mucous membrane of the lower lip and weighed again after 15-20 minutes. The difference in weight is an evaluation criterion for salivation (Yakovleva V.I. Method for the quantitative determination of the secret of small salivary glands. // Health of Belarus. - 1980 - No. 12. - P.57). In this case, it is necessary to weigh the material on a torsion balance. Along with the saliva of the MSF, mixed saliva can be partially absorbed into the filter paper, which reduces the accuracy of the diagnosis of functional activity of the MSZH.

It is known to use a metal square frame for counting the number of drops of saliva. The mucous membrane of the lower lip is pre-stained with methylene blue and a metal square frame of 2 × 2 cm is placed on it, the secretion is stimulated with a 1% solution of pilocarpine hydrochloride, after 30 minutes the number of droplets of saliva excreted by the small salivary glands is counted within 20 minutes framework. In this case, the doctor constantly holds the frame with his hand (Romacheva I.F., Yudin L.A., Afanasyev V.V., Morozov A.N. Diseases and injuries of the salivary glands.- M., Medicine, 1987, p.14). The metal frame used in this method does not have devices for fixing. Therefore, it is necessary to manually hold the frame on the lip for 20 minutes, while the frame can move beyond the selected surface, which reduces the accuracy of drop counting within it. This method is accepted by us as a prototype.

The objective of the invention is to improve the accuracy of diagnosis of the functional activity of the small salivary glands by eliminating the displacement of the frame for counting the number of drops of saliva secreted by the small salivary glands.

This is achieved due to the fact that the device is made in the form of a clamp, the working part of which is represented by a square frame measuring 15 × 15 mm with an emphasis in the form of a bracket, the outer part of which repeats the arc of the front of the dentition, and is made to move back and forth, and the auxiliary part is represented by a plate with an emphasis in the form of a bracket.

The implementation of the device in the form of a clamp, the presence of stops on its working and auxiliary parts, the repetition of the shape of the frontal part of the dentition on the stop of the working part and its execution with the possibility of moving back and forth (depending on the depth of the vestibule of the oral cavity and the severity of the frenulum of the lower lip) provides reliable fixing a square frame designed to count the number of droplets of salivary mass, and, accordingly, increases the accuracy of diagnosis. The size of the square frame 15 × 15 mm, as practice has shown, is the most optimal.

The device (figa - top view, figb - side view) consists of a working part in the form of a square frame 1 of size 15 × 15 mm with an emphasis in the form of a bracket 2, the outer part of which repeats the arc of the front of the dentition, while the emphasis made with the possibility of moving back and forth, the auxiliary part is represented by a plate 3 with a stop 4.

The device is fixed on the lower lip of the patient so that the square frame 1 is placed on the mucous membrane of the lip in the frontal region of the dentition, and the emphasis 2 is adjusted in accordance with the depth of the vestibule and the severity of the frenum. In the absence of anterior teeth (or artificial teeth), the outer side of the abutment is superimposed on the corresponding section of the alveolar process. Plate 3 with emphasis 4 is located on the skin surface of the lower lip. Diagnosis of the functional activity of the small salivary glands is carried out according to the traditional method.

Using the proposed device, firstly, prevents its displacement during the diagnosis, and secondly, facilitates the work of the doctor and saves his time.
