Description

The invention relates to medicine, namely to dentistry. This device can be used to massage the gums in order to prevent and treat periodontal tissue diseases.

Periodontal disease [PD] is the most common adult disease worldwide. This is confirmed by the latest WHO data, according to which the prevalence of periodontal disease (PD) in the adult population in the world reaches 98%.

Studies show that patients suffering from periodontal disease have a 2-3 times higher risk of heart attack and stroke. Violation of the act of chewing caused by periodontal diseases leads to dysfunction of the entire digestive system, contributes to speech impairment, deterioration in the quality of life (Dmitrieva A.A., 2018, Herbert F Wolf, 2008, Kalutskaya, 2015).

The relevance of the problem of treatment and prevention of periodontal diseases causes the emergence of a large number of scientific studies over the past decades aimed at studying it. According to the results of numerous epidemiological studies of domestic and foreign authors, the most common periodontal pathologies in the elderly are periodontitis and periodontal disease. (Kilmukhametova Yu.Kh., 2017). Patients with chronic liver disease have microcirculation disorders in tissues, causing a sharp decrease in tissue perfusion with blood, which indicates a deterioration in periodontal trophism (Krechina E.K., Zorina O.A., Molchanov A.M., Shilov A.M., 2016) .

The process of complex treatment of periodontal diseases can be divided into several consecutive and logically interconnected stages. At each stage, to solve any problem, therapeutic methods should be used together: professional cleaning of teeth (removal of dental deposits), relief of the inflammatory process, elimination of periodontal pockets, normalization of microcirculation and homeostasis in periodontal tissues; surgical: curettage, patchwork operations, restoration of the alveolar process; orthopedic: selective grinding, temporary splinting treatment methods. The treatment regimen also includes physiotherapeutic methods of treatment and massage that normalize metabolic processes, microcirculation and stimulate the regeneration of periodontal tissues (Zorina O.A., Grudyanov A.I., 2010, Yanushevich O.O., 2018.)

Massage helps to increase blood flow, causing the expansion of the lumen of the capillaries; normalization of the permeability of the vascular wall, due to which more nutrients and oxygen enter the tissues; acceleration of metabolic processes in soft and hard tissues; decrease in the volume of interstitial fluid in the periodontium, thereby reducing pain; increased excretion of metabolic products; increase local immunity and activation of the salivary glands and organs of the gastrointestinal tract. All this strengthens periodontal tissues and helps prevent tooth loss (Zyulkina L.A., Sabaeva M.N., Ivanov P.V., Shastin E.N., 2017)

Thus, the possibility of correcting microcirculatory disorders and homeostasis caused by periodontal diseases is pathogenetically justified (Krechina E.K. 2016, Grigoryan V.A., 2017).

Of the known methods of gum massage, the following analogues are most common: finger massage and the use of medium-hard toothbrushes.

Disadvantages of the finger massage technique:

- the impossibility of disinfection and sterilization;

- low efficiency of procedures, due to the smooth surface of the working field;

- possible injury to the gums with nails.

Disadvantages of using a medium-hard toothbrush for gum massage: contraindicated in patients with sensitive gums, because:

- injure the mucous membrane, causing discomfort, pain and prolonged healing.

Advantages of the oral massage device:

- the possibility of antiseptic treatment;

- high efficiency;

- simplicity and safety in use;

- low cost;

- the possibility of simultaneous finger massage in combination with the use of the device.

The problem to be solved by the use of our proposed device is to correct microcirculatory disturbances and homeostasis of periodontal tissues caused by HP.

The problem is solved by the fact that this device is used daily for the purpose of massaging periodontal tissues.

The result of using the claimed device is the improvement of microcirculation processes in periodontal vessels, the normalization of the permeability of the vascular wall, the acceleration of metabolic processes in soft and hard tissues; a decrease in the volume of intercellular fluid in the periodontium, which will help strengthen periodontal tissues and prevent tooth loss.

The solution of the problem is provided by the use of this device for massage of the oral cavity. The device for performing oral massage for the elderly is different in that it is made of latex with a thickness of 1.3-1.5 millimeters by 3D printing the forms of the thumb and forefinger of the right and left hands with protrusions on the surface. Empirically, the specific area of the working surface with protrusions was determined to achieve the maximum therapeutic effect. The range of surface area with projections on the thumb shape is 8.0 to 10.5 square centimeters, and on the index finger shape is 15.0 to 18.0 square centimeters. The number of protrusions ranges from 65 to 80 on the thumb and 110 to 120 on the index; protrusion height from 1 to 1.3 millimeters; protrusion diameter from 1.8 to 2.1 millimeters; location density: 3-4 protrusions per 1 square centimeter. If the working surface area is smaller, the number of protrusions with a smaller height and a smaller diameter, then there will be a decrease in efficiency when using this device for its intended purpose (see Fig.).

The main properties that latex possesses are as follows: elasticity - this material stretches and bends, but easily takes its former shape; a high level of elasticity, the ability to “sit on the hands” well and maintain tactile sensitivity, which is especially important when performing a massage; hygiene - hevea juice initially has bactericidal properties, latex retains them, so dirt, dust, mold do not accumulate in a product made of this material for a long time; durability - with careful use, latex items retain their properties for a long time; the device has softness, thermal conductivity and hydrophobicity; resistance to various chemicals; acceptable combination of price and quality of the product.
