Intelligent multifunctional oral implant and its cloud platform

This creation is about oral implants and their cloud platform, especially a smart multifunctional oral implant with at least a detection unit in the oral implant to detect physiological signals, and transmits the physiological signals to the cloud platform for query.

Dentures can be divided into two categories: fixed and removable. Fixed dentures are fixed in the oral cavity by the dentist with adhesives or other methods, and users cannot remove them by themselves. Removable dentures can be removed and put on by users themselves. According to the clinical experience of dentists, many users who wear dentures have encountered many problems in use, such as: wearing dentures for too long, wrong use of the way causes bone absorption and dentures are not suitable, and improper dentures affect the occlusal Masticatory function, even precancerous mucosal lesions, and some long-term care patients who are bedridden and have high aspiration lungs, plus their immune resistance is insufficient (degeneration), as long as there are too many bacteria in the mouth, plus these patients It is difficult to swallow, and bacteria can easily enter the trachea and lungs, which is very life-threatening.

For those who wear removable dentures, the most common reason for wearing them for too long is that users feel that it is quite troublesome to take off the dentures and clean them every day before going to bed or after each meal, so they are unwilling to take off the dentures for cleaning. And then cause the aforementioned various oral problems. In addition, it is also difficult for other people (such as relatives) other than the user to confirm whether the user has taken off the dentures for cleaning, and it is often known that the user has not cleaned the dentures for a long time when the aforementioned symptoms occur.

Furthermore, in addition to the above-mentioned problems in wearing dentures, many conditions in the oral cavity of ordinary dental patients may also be caused by long-term improper chewing, occlusal or other problems, but patients often do not know why these problems occur. Problems and their causes, dentists often can only provide the patient's experience and judgment to explain the possible causes, but other reasons may also cause these diseases.
