Abstract

This invention is of a set of devices for effective removal of oral dental plaque, bacteria and stain. The technology of production of micro-nano bubble water has been very matured and applied in many fields. In this device, a proper size micro-nano bubble water apparatus is made, the exit of the pressured water is lead by a conducting tube to a special designed fit to human dental arches troy(S). At the certain part of the tube in between the Micro-nano Bubble Water Producer and the troy(s), there is an adjustment apparatus to control the pressure and volume of the water and air. There are small hose and holes in the troy that the pressured micro-nano bubble water is lead into the troy, the water may exit and spurt around the surfaces of the teeth and surrounding mucosa and gingival pockets. Because the troy is made of soft composite resin and fit to dental arches, the water will keep stirring in the tiny spaces, that will accelerate the contact and impact of micro-air molecules to the dental plaque and cause the effectiveness of cleaning of teeth. The whole devices including three parts: 1. Micro-nano bubble water production device with water and air insertion apparatus. 2. Soft conducting tubes with pressure/volume adjusting apparatus. These tubes are for conduction of water from Micro-nano bubble water production device to troys. 3. Fit to human dental arches soft composite resin troy(s). There are entrance tube, that will lead the water into the troy, and small hoses and holds in the inner side of the troys that will lead the bubble water through and out of troy and into the spaces between the troy and teeth.

Description

Micro bubble cleaning device

The invention belongs to a device for cleaning plaque by using the principle of cleaning micro-bubbles, especially for driving microbubbles to the oral cavity.

The traditional method of cleaning teeth is to attach a toothbrush and a toothpaste and a tooth powder to the oral cavity by mechanical action, remove the food residue and plaque on the surface of the tooth, and then remove it with a water rinse. There are several missing methods: (1) The toothbrush can't be covered, the teeth have five faces, the lip cheeks are easier to brush, the tongue is rubbed, and the posterior teeth, especially the distal face of the last tooth, are often ignored. The adjacent faces of the teeth are almost impossible to brush. (2) There are many wrinkles on the surface of the teeth. There are bites and grooves in the occlusal surface. Even the etched cavity is that the toothbrush cannot be completely cleaned. (3) There are 1-2mm or more pockets between the teeth and the soft tissue of the gums. The pockets of periodontal diseased teeth even reach 5-10mm or more. It is a corner where plaque is easy to bury, but it is not a place where the toothbrush can not be constructed. (4) If you miss the opportunity, for example, 48 hours after eating, the plaque gradually hardens and is not easy to clean. After 10 days, it becomes more powerless to become a stone. The above-mentioned toothbrush defects have also been invented and strengthened. For example, electric toothbrushes, dental floss, and red teeth machines directly wash the teeth with high-speed water flow. Although it is helpful, it can only be used as a subsidized tooth cleaning tool.

Micro-Nano Bubble Cleaning uses a very small bubble with oxygen content and stability in normal pressure water as a cleaning treatment. This micro (nano) bubble has been used in medical and industrial applications as follows: (1) The drug is injected into the target lesion with a nano-CO ² bubble package for treatment. The dose of the drug can be reduced, the effect is increased, and the side effects are reduced. This is called the Drug Delivery System. (2) Cleaning: A detergent solution is injected into the micro-nano bubbles. The cleaner will adsorb around the bubbles to increase the contact area of the cleaner with the dirt, which can improve the cleaning performance and reduce the amount of detergent used. (3) Sterilization: Ozone itself has a sterilization effect, such as microbubble, and even application of impulse and heating is more effective. (4) Purification: The micro-bubbles will absorb the pollutants in the water to make them float on the surface without decomposition, thus achieving the function of purifying the lake water, pool water or water source.

The above-mentioned range of micro-nano bubble cleaning does not directly affect the oral hygiene, and the volume (water) contained in the oral cavity does not exceed 250 cc, and the required amount of bubbles is quite small, which is about 10 cm x 5 cm x 5 The cube of centimeters, water volume and flow rate (water flow and bubble content can be adjusted), combined with cleaning and oral hygiene.

The present invention is directed to the use of a high-speed water stream to clean plaque, but it is not possible to penetrate the capsular bag and the abutment surface. The cleaning effect of micro-nano bubbles is extremely anti-fouling and anti-bacterial, and the micro-nano bubbles (between 5 and 20 micrometers (um) in diameter) can enter the hair. In the sac pocket, the plaque is removed, thus reducing the oral bacteria; and because the oral pathogens (Oral Pathogens) are mostly Anaerobic bacteria, when acute symptoms are used, Oxygen microbubbles generate water flow introduction. It is also effective for people who are suffering from periodontal disease at the beginning. Reduce plaque and improve oral hygiene.

The microbubble generator converts the water in the container into an oxygen-containing or oxygen-free microbubble water flow through an inlet/outlet hose. The water outlet connector connects the microbubble generator and the tray through a conduit, and the adapter is provided with an adjuster to adjust the water flow and the number of bubbles. The high-speed water flow drives the micro-bubbles to stimulate the mucosa in the entrance cavity, the periodontal pockets and the plaque around the teeth, thereby disintegrating the bacteria and tartar, and achieving the efficiency. The size of the micro-bubble generator can be set to the home or Carry it, every time you clean your teeth, it can be cleaned in five minutes.

The device for cleaning plaque by microbubbles covers: (1) a connector: a microbubble outlet hose of the microbubble generating machine is combined with a flexible catheter that connects the tray. (2) Adjuster: Adjust the bubble size and flow rate, and adjust the micro-bubbles exported by the micro-bubble generator according to individual needs. (3) Soft catheter: transport microbubbles. The length of the catheter line is between 100 millimeters (mm) and 1000 millimeters (mm). The catheter has a radius of between about 1 mm (mm) and 5 mm (mm). The catheter can be adjusted according to the need to connect the water flow conduit of the microbubble generator to the conduit joint protruding from the front end of the tray. (4) The dental tray conforming to the human dental arch, made of soft polymeric resin conforming to the human upper jaw and lower jaw arch, with a depth of about 1.0cm to 2.0cm. Two are connected, or only one is made and used twice. The front end of the incisor in the dental tray is provided with a protruding conduit joint for introducing the microbubble water flow, and is connected as a flexible conduit to facilitate the flow of microbubble water. The gas tube is provided with a gas conduit and a water outlet, and (5) the outlet hole is in an orderly or freely distributed position. Before the tooth tray Department, small molars and large molars. Introduce a flow of water containing microbubbles, flushing each face and point of the entrance cavity and teeth, even reaching every corner of the periodontal pocket and the abutment surface of the tooth.
