Description

MKIA61N13 / 00

DENTAL MASSAGE DEVICE.

The utility model relates to medicine, namely to orthopedic dentistry and can be used for the prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases.

A well-known gingival tire for massage of the periodontium and gums (AS No. 1694138, MKI A 61H 13/00, publ. 11/30/91. Bull. No. 44), which contains two made of an elastic material and with nests for teeth mouthguards for upper and lower rows of teeth, interconnected by a jumper in the area of the bite.

The disadvantages of the design are:

4 blocks the movements of the lower jaw in all planes, which excludes both the vertical and horizontal massage effect on the upper jaw and significantly limits it on the lower jaw;

 excludes tire displacement on the upper jaw and does not provide extraction of contents from pathological gingival pockets;

4 creates the conditions for traumatization and additional infection with repeated movements of the lower jaw, due to the tight coverage of the retention zones with the tire (pathological gingival pockets, sections of the thin mucosa);

Ф does not have the effect of squeezing soft tissues due to slight deformation of the elastic bridge of the tire connecting the mouthguards;

4 occupies a large volume in the oral cavity and excludes oral breathing during the procedure;

Ф does not hold the medicinal substance under the tray, due to the absence of a gap-gap between the contacting surfaces

The useful model is aimed at solving the problem: improving the massage and therapeutic effect in the prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases, ease of use.

These tasks are achieved due to the presence of a single-jaw double-layer mouthguard with nests for teeth. The outer layer is made rigid, bearing the occlusal imprints of the teeth of the antagonists and repeating the shape of the slopes of the alveolar processes. The inner, equal-thickness elastic layer is monolithically connected to the rigid one and has cylindrical protrusions, the peaks of which bear an exact image of the microrelief of this section of the mucous membrane, the protrusions have a diameter of 2 mm, a height of 1 to 2 mm., In increments of 2 mm. between the protrusions. Elastic protrusions are located over the entire surface of the layer with the exception of the occlusal sections of the teeth and to the equator and, not 3-4 mm. to the edge of the device, as a result of this, a template space is created (w; spruce-gap) between the occlusal surface of the teeth and the surface of the corresponding nest in the mouth guard, the edge of which is made elastic.

The device is shown in the drawings, where

The dentofacial massage device consists of a hard layer (1) with imprints of the occlusal: surfaces of the teeth of the antagonists (2) monolithically connected to the elastic layer (3) bearing protrusions (4) in contact with the mucous membrane (5) and not reaching the edge of the device (6 ) by 3-4 mm, and the occlusal surfaces of the teeth (7), forming a template space (8), limited by the surface of the mouth guards (9) and a functional vacuum reservoir (10).

After the rehabilitation periodontal measures performed by the dentist by the therapist, it is necessary to include massage using the proposed device in the complex of therapeutic measures. of this, we suggest that the patient perform a massage, which consists in slowly immersing the device due to the intensifying pressure of the teeth of the antagonists on its occlusal surface. rhnost (2) (biting). In this case, the protrusions (4) in contact with the mucous membrane (5) at different angles provide all massage elements (stroking, squeezing and stretching), and the procedure itself is controlled by a muscular-reflex process. As a result of this, air reservoirs (8-10) located under the tray (between the protrusions (4) and the template space (8)) are forced out into the transition zone (6), creating zones of a sign-variable vacuum.

The gradual removal of the functional load (opening of the teeth) from the device creates the conditions for the emergence of a functional vacuum reservoir (10) and the implementation of vacuum massage.

This functional two-phase massage complex is calculated by the doctor depending on the clinical situation and the patient's age (prophylaxis, form of periodontal disease). Functional massage procedure includes from 15 or more alternating loads (biting and opening teeth), which are carried out for 3 to 10 minutes. with a different exposure of one phase 2-3 times a day. The course of treatment is 2-3 months.

The proposed device allows for massage therapy on periodontal and oral mucosa. For this purpose, a drug substance in the form of a liquid, gel, ointment is applied to the inner surface of the device in the area of nests (9). The device is also placed on its bed, while under functional pressure (when biting), the drug is redistributed along the inner surface with its preferential deposition in the area of the gingival pockets.

After the massage procedure, the device is removed from the oral cavity, washed. Storage is carried out in a box and in pairs of a disinfecting solution.

periodontal tissue disease prevention

treatment of periodontitis with localized and generalized forms.

Using the proposed device allows you to:

to increase the effect of therapeutic measures in the complex treatment of periodontium;

to provide a functional sparing periodontal training in the splinted state of the dentition;

purposefully use drugs prolonging their action;

to carry out in the first phase a functional alternating massage of the mucous membrane, including elements of stroking, compression and stretching;

to create artificially in the phase of vacuum massage functional buffer zones located between the protrusions throughout the prosthetic bed, which will provide a gradual change in regional blood flow during exercise associated with dynamic emptying of blood vessels. This process is in direct proportion to the degree of immersion of the protrusions in the mucous membrane, while maintaining an alternating character when unloading;

slow down the processes of bone atrophy and improve periodontal health, than to ensure a more stable condition of the teeth for a long period of time;

to expand indications for the manufacture of functionally valuable removable dentures;

massage periodontal and mucous membranes with partial defects in the dentition of various lengths;

to create a functional and rational general irritation zone along the prosthetic bed, which will ensure the full functioning of all parts of the organs associated with the dentofacial system.
