Description of the Invention (1) The present invention relates to a dental treatment device having at least one extruded polymer cleaning element, and a cleaning device for dental treatment devices Method of element 〇 The dental treatment apparatus with the aforementioned structure includes both monofilament and plexifilamentary fibers, especially a toothbrush with bristle trimming for forming a washing element. This type of known dental treatment device has a unique mechanical cleaning effect by friction between the cleaning element and the tooth surface. It also has a massage effect on the gums. The cleaning elements of the dental treatment apparatus are usually extruded from a polymer to form fibers, bristles, and the like. The problem of the present invention is to extend the range of operation of known dental instruments. According to the present invention, the way to solve this problem is to wash the polymer of the element at least close to the surface with a solid extremely dispersing additive that is soluble in water and / or saliva and has teeth cleaning and / or antibacterial functions. The use of liquid and paste dentifrices with dentifrice, antibacterial or deodorant additives is well known in the industry. The additive is particularly added to the dentifrice as a fluorine compound to take advantage of its hardening effect. This effect is based on the fact that the outermost layer of human tooth enamel has a relatively high fluorine concentration, which decreases rapidly with increasing tooth depth. The amount of fluoride supplied by food and water is usually not enough to keep the fluoride content in tooth enamel stable. In addition, the fluorine content is a decisive factor for the resistance of the teeth to the bacterial and acid attacks that cause the most common dental disease, namely tooth decay. The action mechanism of fluorine is to form a calcium fluoride (C a F 2) coating on the tooth surface by lightly dissolving fluoride ions, and release fluoride when the saliva P Η 値 changes, without consuming the dental fluoride enamel stock. . The antibacterial effect of fluorine has also been described, which can reduce the acid production of bacteria in plaque.

Description of the invention (2 The additive is usually dissolved in the dentifrice. Please read the notes on the back and fill in I. This page is in a dental treatment device constructed according to the present invention. Dental and / or antibacterial active additives are added to polymer washing elements in a very dispersed solid form. The additives are soluble in water and / or saliva. Especially the ultra-fine embedded in the area near the surface of the washing elements The particles form a storage tank, and the active substance slowly dissolves from there, and is transported to the oropharynx, especially near the entire mouth. The commonly used polymer absorbs a certain degree of moisture, which enters the interior of the cleaning element, or after use Exudation during drying. As a result of physical processing, the additive oozes out of the surface of the core of the cleaning element over time, thereby exerting its effect. The additive used is a fluorine compound or xylite that releases from inorganic fluorine. Preferably, it is selected from, for example, sodium fluoride (N a F), sodium monofluorophosphate (N a P0 3 F), zinc fluoride (Z n F 2), and ammonium fluoride (NH4F) and fluorosilicate Embedded in polymer Form I, especially the fluorine compound exposed on the surface, forms a slowly flowing fluoride source together with saliva or water used for rinsing during the use of the dentifrice, fixedly replenishing the natural fluoride storage tank of tooth enamel, Corresponding doped dentifrice is optionally stored at the same time. The polymer of printed cleaning elements printed by employees' cooperatives of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs may incorporate other insoluble additives in dispersed form to increase mechanical cleaning. For the bristles of toothbrushes, this strategy is known to produce specific abrasive effects. For the additives of the present invention, such purely mechanical additives need to be inert. In particular, they need to have no surface activity. The surface should not be enlarged during use. When using a tooth cleaning device, these extremely dispersed abrasive particles need to be washed out. Therefore, the polymer exposes a new surface on the cleaning element, thus exposing teeth cleaning or antibacterial activity. The scale is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X 297 mm) -5- 492851 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (3) Agent. It is structured like a toothbrush with a large number of filled polymer bristles used to form washing elements. In order to determine the effective effect of the additives, it is recommended that the steel hairs have a shape that diverges from the smooth and self-stretching shape, such as longitudinal section, wave It is twisted in a spiral or spiral shape to increase its surface. Alternatively, the cleaning element may be formed by clustered bristles, and the clustered fibers are also filled with additives. Another preferred embodiment is characterized in that the bristles include a core and an outer skin, It is co-extruded, and additives are added to the outer skin. In this structure, the core can be formed, in particular, from a polymer, giving the washing element the necessary characteristics such as tensile strength, bending ability, and resistance to alternating flexing (Resilience), and the polymer for the skin is mainly selected for the embedding of additives and its continuous transportation. An advantage of the present invention is the use of a toothbrush equipped with a washable element, the so-called head-changing toothbrush. Regular replacement of toothbrushes according to the present invention is more important because the bristles are worn and the washing function is reduced or the risk to the gums is increased, and toothbrushes are often replaced. Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economics, which are next to each other (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page). The hair toothbrush is very good. It can be installed on the conventional toothbrush head up to 2 0 0 0 root 0 The dental treatment instrument can also be constructed according to a conventional method, such as a plexifilamentary interdental scrubber, used to form another polymer fiber filling additive. The present invention also relates to a method of rinsing elements, such as polymer bristles for use in dental instruments by extruding polymers from a melt. According to the present invention, the method is characterized in that the polymer melt is doped with water and / or saliva and has the paper size applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) -6-492851 A7 —___ B7 V. Description of the invention (4) Extremely dispersed form additive with dentifrice and / or antibacterial effect. Please fill in the matter first, and then fill in the pages. Actual tests show that the known fluorine-releasing fluorine compounds have a dentifrice effect, which are crystalline or amorphous salts or hydrofluoric acid, or anti-dental xylose salts. It is chemically and physically harmless when blended in a polymer mixture, that is, it has sufficient thermal stability and is stored in an extruded purified polymer in an unchanged form. The extremely dispersed distribution of additives can be achieved in the same way as other solids, which are processed in polymers in extremely dispersed forms, such as dyes and pigments. The additive is preferably selected from sodium fluoride (NaF), sodium monofluorophosphate (Na2PO3F), zinc fluoride (ZnF2), ammonium fluoride (NH4F), and fluorosilicate. The preferred amount of the additive in the melt is from 150 to 450 P P m. The exact ratio depends on the nature of the fluorinated compound and its reaction on the polymer surface when used in dental treatment equipment. It is beneficial for polymer melts to incorporate inert and insoluble additives to increase the mechanical rinsing effect, which are slowly washed out during the use of dental treatment equipment, while exposing new non-dental additives containing dental treatment additives. Contact surface. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. The polymer used for cleaning elements is selected from the group consisting of polyamide, polyolefin, polyester, polyacetal, sulfur polymer and its copolymer. When forming a two-component bristles with core and shell, additives are incorporated into the polymer melt used for the outer skin.
