RU2804440C1 - Method for manufacturing temporary silicone obturator for defects of the upper jaw - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related to a method for manufacturing a temporary silicone obturator for defects of the upper jaw. To fill and obturate the included defect of the upper jaw, silicone material of soft elastic consistency is used. A rigid base plastic is cold-cured to form a rigid base to prevent silicone from flowing out of the defect. A non-polymerized silicone mass is applied to the hard base and defect of the hard palate and clinical relining is performed in the oral cavity. The silicone plug is removed from the oral cavity, the silicone obturator is separated from the hard plastic, the excess silicone lining is removed with scissors, the silicone obturator is adjusted to the oral cavity, and the silicone obturator is adjusted.

EFFECT: method ensures production of a temporary obturator of reduced volume, which prevents water from entering the nasal cavity and provides the ability to perform dental treatment in one clinical session, while reducing the production time, ensuring easy application and removal of the palatal prosthesis, as well as the absence of trauma to the mucous membrane when applying the prosthesis.

Description

The invention relates to medicine, in particular to dentistry, and can be used in orthopedic dentistry with included defects of the upper jaw without violating the occlusal rows.

Currently, after resection of the upper jaw, permanent obturator prostheses are used. There is a known method of prosthetics for post-resection palate defects and a prosthetic palate obturator [See. patent RU 2 349 284 C2. This method is successfully used in medicine, but has disadvantages, as it requires a lot of time for production (more than one visit). The participation of a dental technician is required to manufacture this prosthesis. There are no analogues of the temporary obturator.

The invention is based on the task of creating a temporary palatal obturator that can be produced clinically in dentistry in one visit.

This problem is solved by the fact that the method proposes the manufacture of a palatal obturator using a silicone elastic lining (silicone of soft elastic consistency) by a dentist in one clinical appointment of 15-30 minutes.

The inventive method makes it possible to produce a palatal obturator in one clinical session. This obturator helps the patient carry out dental treatment, eat and drink water, as it separates the oral cavity from the nasal cavity. The average operating time is 3-6 months.

The method for manufacturing a silicone palatal obturator is carried out as follows.

1. A rigid base plastic is cold-cured to form a rigid base to prevent silicone from flowing out of the defect.

2. A non-polymerized silicone mass is applied to the hard base and defect of the hard palate and clinical relining is performed in the oral cavity. Fig 1.

3. Remove the silicone plug from the mouth.

4. Separate the silicone obturator from the hard plastic. Fig.2

5. Remove excess silicone lining with scissors.

6. The silicone obturator is fitted in the oral cavity. Fig 3.

7. Correction of the silicone obturator is carried out.

The proposed method for manufacturing a temporary silicone obturator has the following advantages in comparison with traditional methods for manufacturing this type of orthopedic dental structures:

1. Reducing the time spent on producing an obturator. For 1 clinical appointment.

2. Reducing the volume of the finished structure compared to a permanent structure.

3. The ability to perform dental treatment, preventing water from entering the nasal cavity.

4. Easy application and removal of the palatal prosthesis.

5. No trauma to the mucous membrane when applying the prosthesis.

6. Quick production of a new design in case of loss or damage.

7. The absence of residual monomer in the construction materials, in contrast to acrylic plastics traditionally used for the manufacture of removable dentures, allows one to avoid possible allergic and toxic reactions.

8. Increasing the economic efficiency of manufacturing a silicone prosthesis due to the fact that the amount of consumables used is reduced. Reducing the cost of the final product.

9. No need for a dental laboratory.

Examples of the use of a temporary obturator shown in the illustrations.

Example 1.

Patient P., 53 years old, was diagnosed with Z93.8 Presence of another artificial orifice.

The examination revealed an acquired defect of the upper jaw associated with surgical treatment of a malignant neoplasm.

The defect was closed with a temporary obturator made of elastic silicone material.

During further observation for a week, the patient used the obturator during meals and dental treatment.

Example 2.

Patient P., 47 years old, was diagnosed with Z93.8 Presence of another artificial orifice.

The examination revealed an acquired defect of the upper jaw associated with surgical treatment of a malignant neoplasm.

The defect was closed with a temporary obturator.

Upon further observation during the dental appointment, water did not enter the nasal cavity and it was possible to carry out dental treatment.
