RU53914U1 - LED DEVICE FOR TREATMENT OF PERIODONTAL DISEASES - Google Patents

Abstract

The utility model relates to medical equipment, namely to devices for phototherapy. The proposed LED device for the treatment of periodontal disease, includes a housing with wings extending from it. A self-contained power supply unit with a program control chip is located in the housing, which allows you to control the procedure time and the nature of the light flux (constant or pulsed). From the body, behind the “wings”, silicone hoses depart from the usual blood transfusion system in the form of two independent loops; Inside the hoses are light emitting diodes, cumulatively connected to the power supply and the control chip. The space between the LEDs is filled with transparent silicone. On the upper wall of the case there is a removable cover to replace the power supply. The device works as follows: the device is placed on the eve of the oral cavity with the teeth closed, while the loops of silicone hoses, due to their elasticity, under the influence of contracted chewing muscles, take on a shape that exactly follows the contours of the alveolar processes, located above and below the transitional fold of the vestibule of the oral cavity. The circular muscle of the mouth tightly fixes the wings of the body and the silicone hoses extending from it. Using a magnetic key, turn on the device by choosing a program of constant or pulsed light emission. After the procedure has expired, the device automatically turns off. The device has the following advantages: it can be used by any individual, both with a normal and a deformed bite, since elastic silicone loops completely follow the contours of the alveolar processes, tightly pressing against the mucous membrane under the action of

contracted masticatory muscles and circular muscles of the mouth (with closed mouth); the device is cheap and technically simple to manufacture and operate; allows both pulsed and continuous dosed irradiation of periodontal tissues; it has the ability to replace the power source, which makes the device more durable and reduces the cost of treatment.

Description

The utility model relates to medical equipment, namely to devices for phototherapy.

For the treatment of periodontal diseases, phototherapy procedures using lamp, laser (3) and LED light sources (1, 4) are used.

The most optimal are LED devices that emit monochromatic blue light, since optical radiation of this range has a regulatory effect on metabolic processes in the body, positively affects the state of the immune status and regenerative processes; local exposure to blue light leads to the removal of pain and inflammation, while blue light improves blood flow at the level of microcirculation (2).

Two LED devices that emit blue light are known: the ASTP-4-3 device (1) and the device presented in utility model No. 49454 (4).

The ASTP-4-3 device consists of a rectangular case in which a control panel and a working panel with a matrix of blue LEDs are mounted, the radiation wavelength is 430-450 nm, the power is supplied from the mains through an adapter. The phototherapy procedure is carried out in a non-contact manner.

A more advanced device is the “Optoelectronic device for irradiating the vestibule of the oral cavity in periodontal diseases” (4), which is taken as an analogue. The device (4) consists of a matrix of blue light emitting diodes mounted in a tray made of medical silicone and an autonomous power supply unit. The device (4) allows for the full irradiation of tissues in advance of the cavity

mouth with periodontal disease, in contrast to the device ASTP-4-3, compact, physiological.

However, the device (4) has a significant drawback - it is a device for individual use, since the shape of the mouthguard requires the exact repetition of the anatomical parameters of the patient's oral cavity.

The manufacture of mouthguards requires significant costs (close to the manufacture of removable dentures). It is especially difficult to manufacture mouthguards in patients with deformities and malocclusion of the teeth (open, direct bite, progeny, prognathy), despite the high cost and complexity of manufacture, it is a device for a single course application, since it does not provide for a change in the power source.

The objective of the utility model is to create a device for irradiating tissues of the vestibule of the oral cavity for mass use, effective and inexpensive to manufacture.

This goal is achieved by using LED light sources mounted in elastic silicone hoses located on the mucous membrane of the vestibule of the oral cavity in the form of two loops uniformly irradiating both alveolar processes of the upper and lower jaw and tightly adhering to the tissues with blue light while contracting the chewing muscles and circular muscle of the mouth. The durability of the device is provided by a replaceable power source.

The device (FIG. 1) consists of a housing 1 with wings 2 extending from it, made of plastic. An independent power supply unit 3 with a program control chip 4 is located in the housing, which allows controlling the procedure time and the nature of the light flux (constant or pulsed). Silicone hoses 5 extend from the body 1, behind the “wings” 2, from the usual blood transfusion system in the form of two independent loops; inside the hoses 5 are located

light emitting diodes 6, cumulatively connected to the power supply 3 and the control chip 4. The space between the LEDs is filled with transparent silicone. On the upper wall of the housing there is a removable cover 7 to replace the power supply 3. The device is turned on with a magnetic key 8.

The device works as follows: the device is placed on the eve of the oral cavity with the teeth closed, while the loops of silicone hoses, due to their elasticity, under the influence of contracted chewing muscles, take on a shape that exactly follows the contours of the alveolar processes, located above and below the transitional fold of the vestibule of the oral cavity. The circular muscle of the mouth tightly fixes the wings of the body and the silicone hoses extending from it. Magnetic key 8 turn on the device, choosing a program of constant or pulsed light emission. After the procedure has expired, the device automatically turns off.

The device has the following advantages:

1) It can be used by any individual, both with a normal and a deformed bite, since elastic silicone loops completely follow the contours of the alveolar processes, tightly pressing against the mucous membrane under the action of contracted masticatory muscles and circular muscles of the mouth (with a closed mouth).

2) The device is cheap and technically simple to manufacture and operate.

3) Allows for both pulsed and continuous dosed irradiation of periodontal tissues.

4) The ability to replace the power source makes the device more durable and reduces the cost of treatment.
