Abstract

The method for the electrophoretical treatment of the oral cavity at home and during the travels is performed with the aid of the treatment-and-prophylactic electronic tooth-brush applying the pulses of the electrophoretic potential (positive or negative) to the oral cavity. The corresponding potential is applied employing the commuting circuit and the specific toothpaste retaining predominantly fluorine (F–) and/or calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+) and phosphorus (P5+) ions depending on the composition of the tap water in specified region and the peculiar features inherent to the patient. The pulses are separated with the pauses. The process is performed in one step. The treatment-and-prophylactic electronic toothbrush for electrophoretic treatment of the oral cavity at home and during the travels consists of the frame containing the handle and the shoe of the bristle at the opposite ends. The power supply as well as the commuting circuit is located inside. The commuting circuit comprises the switch of the electrophoresis polarity. The power supply represents the replaceable battery.

Description

Description of the invention

The group of inventions refers to the field of medicine and medical technology, specifically - to dentistry and 2 dental technology and can be used for the prevention and early therapy of caries and other diseases of the oral cavity at home and on the road.

Healthy teeth are not only a beautiful smile, but also good health, which is manifested in the normal functioning of the digestive system and the entire human body as a whole.

Prevention and therapy of caries, periodontitis, periodontitis and other diseases of the oral cavity largely depends on the method of treatment of the oral cavity, the condition of which is usually associated with the presence of a sufficient amount or deficiency of fluorine ions (E7, calcium (Ca"2), magnesium (Ma"2), phosphorus (RU) in the drinking water of the water supply source of a specific region, as well as with the individual characteristics of the patient. Since the chemical composition of human saliva is directly determined by the chemical composition of the drinking water consumed by it, only with insufficient concentration in drinking water and, therefore in saliva, ions of this or that chemical element are "washed out" of these ions from tooth enamel due to their diffusion in saliva, i.e. due to the difference in their concentrations in these environments.

A known method of treating the oral cavity by traditional brushing of the teeth using a traditional (ordinary) toothbrush and traditional (ordinary) toothpaste or tooth powder based on finely dispersed calcium oxide (Cas), i.e. chalk.

The disadvantage of the known method is its relatively low therapeutic efficiency, since the increased concentration of calcium ions (Ca") and other chemical elements in the saliva with this method of treatment of the oral cavity is maintained for no more than 1 hour. It is practically impossible to brush the teeth every hour because at the same time there is increased abrasion of tooth enamel and, as a result, the appearance of colonies of microorganisms on its defective areas, which leads to the destruction of enamel (caries).

The indicated shortcomings are partially eliminated in the well-known 3-step method of electrophoretic treatment of the oral cavity at home or in the office with the help of three medical and preventive electronic toothbrushes and three special toothpastes, which provide an increased content of ions, mainly fluorine (EE), calcium (Ca "?), magnesium (Ma"2), phosphorus (RU) by applying to the patient's oral cavity pulsed positive or Ge"! of the negative potential of electrophoresis from the voltage source through the commutation circuit and the corresponding toothpaste depending on the composition of the drinking water in the water supply source of a specific region and the individual characteristics of the patient, in the form of bundles of voltage pulses alternating with pauses between them - see, for example, "Toothbrush Ge") electrophoretic "NAVITOV" ("GSABITUS"U". Technical conditions TU 7717-001-13302369-98, 1998, l. 10 GI, as well as "Method and compounds for mineralization of teeth". - Declaration patent of Ukraine Mo 35783, date of publication -- 04/16/2001, according to the application SH-98084494, 1998, the applicant - LLC "Habitus" (OA) (21

The impulse potential of electrophoresis here and further in the text should be understood as the voltage from a constant voltage source, which is applied to the patient's oral cavity during a tooth brushing session, the duration of which is significantly shorter than the time intervals (pauses) between sessions (pulses). And series of such sessions (pulses) here and further in the text should be understood as bundles of voltage pulses. "

The essence of the known method is that at the first, preparatory stage, daily treatment (-Ш-8) of the oral cavity is carried out in a well-known traditional way, described above, using for this purpose an ordinary toothbrush and electric neutral toothpaste. "» The duration of the first stage is 2-3 minutes. At the same time, carious cavities are cleaned of microorganisms and their toxins and tooth enamel is prepared for the electrophoretic procedure of treatment of the oral cavity. In addition,

The preparatory stage serves as a rest stage, which prevents the patient's body from getting used to the action of electric 4! current during electrophoresis. with In the following, second and third stages of the known method, through the commutation circuit and the electroconductive toothpaste of the appropriate composition, a positive and negative pulse potential (Te) of electrophoresis is applied alternately to the patient's oral cavity from a voltage source. Under the action of the specified potential, the ions of about 50 chemical elements contained in the corresponding toothpaste, mainly ions of fluorine (E U and/or calcium (Ca"2), magnesium (Ma"2) and phosphorus (RU), etc.) intensively diffuse in the tooth enamel and soft tissues of the oral cavity

Me, the procedure, that is, the duration of each of the stages (2nd and 3rd), is determined by the duration of the presentation of the positive and, accordingly, negative impulse potential of electrophoresis on the patient's oral cavity and usually does not exceed 2-3 minutes. daily.

The known method provides a higher efficiency of treatment of the oral cavity in comparison with the previously described traditional method, namely: increasing the concentration of mineralizing elements in the patient's saliva, preferably increasing the concentration of fluorine ions (E3, calcium (Ca?), magnesium (Ma) and phosphorus (RU) and other mineralizing elements, and its storage for 10 hours.

However, the known method has inherent disadvantages, which consist in the fact that in order to ensure 60 electrophoretic diffusion of negative ions of remineralizing elements, mainly fluorine (PE"), according to the method, a negative electrophoresis pulse potential is applied to the patient's oral cavity and this operation is performed with the help of an electronic dental brush and toothpaste of the same type. And to ensure electrophoretic diffusion of positive ions of mineralizing elements, mainly ions of fluorine (P), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Ma"2) and phosphorus (RU), etc., according to the method, positive impulse potential of electrophoresis on the patient's oral cavity and this operation is performed with the help of an electronic toothbrush and a different type of toothpaste. Considering the 1st, preparatory, stage, each patient must have three types of brushes and three types of pastes.

Thus, the main drawback of the known method is its multi-stage nature and the need to use toothbrushes and toothpastes of three types. If we take into account the fact that electronic toothbrushes of the same type are uniformly colored for their recognition, then for an average family of 4 people (parents and two children), there is practically no possibility to use the known method in everyday life, and even more so in road conditions.

The closest in terms of technical essence and the result that is achieved to the declared one is the known two-stage method of treating the oral cavity in domestic and road conditions with the help of two medical and preventive electronic toothbrushes and two special toothpastes, which have an increased content of ions, mainly ions fluorine (E7), calcium (Ca?), magnesium (Ma"2), phosphorus (P"U), in which case from the voltage source through the commutation circuit and the corresponding toothpaste, depending on the composition of the drinking water in the water supply source of a particular region and individual characteristics of the patient, at the first stage, a positive impulse electrophoresis potential is applied to the patient's oral cavity daily for a period of 7-30 days in the form of a bundle of 75 voltage pulses lasting 2-3 minutes, with alternating pauses between them, and at the second stage - during the period For 30 days, a negative impulse potential is given daily in the form of a bundle of impulses of the same duration with the possibility of the next repetition of the cycle - see Advertising sheet f Irma "NAVITO5", 1999 - PROTOTYPE |ZI.

The known method partially eliminates the above-mentioned disadvantages by partially reducing the number of stages, as well as the number of types of toothbrushes and toothpaste for the implementation of the method.

However, the specified disadvantages, which reduce the effectiveness of the known method, still remain.

In terms of its technical essence and the achievable result, the closest to the declared technical solution is the design of a therapeutic and preventive electronic toothbrush for electrophoretic treatment of the oral cavity at home or on the road, which contains a body, one end of which is made in the form of a drive handle, and the other in the form of of a brush block with bundles of bristles installed in it, and the electrophoresis voltage source and the switching circuit, electrically connecting the voltage source and the bristle bundles, are placed in the body - see, "for example, the "NATO8" therapeutic and preventive toothbrush." - Declaratory patent of Ukraine Mo28795 , date of publication 10/16/2000, according to Mo's application SHA-97094731 dated 09/23/97 |4) and Electrophoretic toothbrush "NAVITOZV" (SGABITUS). Technical conditions TU U 7717-001-13302369-98, 1998, l. 1-5 - PROTOTYPE (5).

Unfortunately, it was impossible to accept as a prototype the therapeutic and preventive toothbrush "NAVITOV" according to the Declaratory Patent of Ukraine Mo 28795, date of publication 10/16/2000, according to the application OA-97094731 of 09/23/97 p.

The reason for this rejection is that the patent of Ukraine Мо28795 is declaratory, therefore, according to the application, the examination was not carried out in full and the patent was issued under the responsibility of the applicant, (о) who took a position in relation to the declared object that does not correspond to the current norms of law . -

Thus, in the application SHA-97094731 dated 09/23/97: 1) As a prototype, a working design was selected, one of the essential (ie necessary and sufficient) features of IC o) which is the presence of a source of electrophoretic voltage. Yes, the design of this voltage source is really unsuccessful, its weight and dimensions are so large that this source of electrophoretic voltage must be installed on a separate table in a separate place and wires must be drawn from it to connect with the elements of the toothbrush design to ensure its electrophoretic action . But all this is not a sufficient reason for the feature "presence of a source of electrophoretic voltage" to be removed from the pre-distinctive set - from the essential features of the declared medical and preventive toothbrush for the sole purpose of including it in the set of distinctive features of the claimed object . That is, it actually turns out that according to Ukrainian patent Mo28795, the object that the applicant chose as a prototype is declared. It will not be superfluous to point out that any object having a prototype can be claimed in this way (that is, any object except the pioneering one), because it is enough that in the patent

of Ukraine Mo28795, first to eliminate any significant feature of the prototype, then to include it as a significant 1 feature in the distinguishing part of the set; - 2) The presence of a supernumerary alternative in the dependent claims of the invention, which violates the principle of the unity of the invention; (Se) C) Uncertainty of the object of the invention due to the fact that the description (including the figures of the drawings) does not confirm the existence of the claimed claims, namely, for example, in relation to the switches that carry out the commutation of spatially isolated electrodes, as well as the switches of the electrophoretic voltage source , current and voltage indicators, (Che), etc.; 4) Other significant defects.

Unfortunately, the specified shortcomings do not allow us to use the object under Ukrainian patent Mo28795 as a prototype. z" Therefore, a real object was used in this capacity - "NAVITOV dental electrophoretic probe" ("CHGABITUS") according to the Technical conditions of TU U 7717-001-13302369-98, 1998, l. 1-5 - PROTOTYPE |5 ).

The disadvantage of the known design of an electronic toothbrush is that the source of electrophoretic voltage is mounted in the housing without the possibility of replacing it, for example, for repair, without the possibility of changing the polarity of the pulse potential of the electrophoresis, and even without the possibility of determining the need for such a replacement of the source or determining the readiness of the structure for functional use - - there is no signaling of readiness for work, i.e. signaling of working capacity. This narrows the functional capabilities of the known design, makes it difficult to use, since different types of toothbrushes and toothpastes are required for electrophoretic diffusion of negative and positive ions of mineralizing chemical elements, and, in addition, as a result, it necessarily makes the method of electrophoretic treatment of the patient's oral cavity multi-stage. .

The basis of this invention is the task of increasing the efficiency of electrophoretic treatment of the patient's oral cavity by reducing the number of stages of the known method and the types of toothbrushes and toothpastes used for this, as well as expanding the functional capabilities of the design of the electronic toothbrush by increasing its maintainability and the possibility of determining its operability.

The essence of this invention is disclosed below, thanks to which the task set in it is solved by the fact that in the known method of electrophoretic treatment of the oral cavity in home or on-the-go conditions with the help of a medical and preventive electronic toothbrush, an impulse (positive or negative) potential is applied to the patient's oral cavity electrophoresis from the voltage source through the commutation circuit and the corresponding 70 toothpaste, which mainly contains fluorine (BE), calcium (Ca"2), magnesium (Ma"2) or phosphorus (P" ions, depending on the composition of the drinking water in the source water supply of a specific region and individual characteristics of the patient.This potential schematically has the form of bundles of voltage pulses, which alternate with pauses between them.

According to this invention, the method is carried out with the possibility of using one type of toothbrush and one type of toothpaste, while the process is carried out in one stage (stage).

The problem set in the invention is also solved by the fact that the duration of the bundle of voltage pulses and/or their polarity is changed during one session of electrophoretic treatment of the oral cavity.

The problem set in the invention is also solved by the fact that the duration of the bundle of voltage pulses and/or their polarity is changed daily.

At the same time, the therapeutic current density of electrophoresis in the oral cavity is provided within | - 5.0 - 250.0 μA/cm7, duration of voltage pulses (of one polarity) - within

Kmp - 0.5 - 5.0 min., the duration of a bundle of unipolar pulses - within the limits

Ilachki - 0.5 min. - 1.0 month, and the duration of the pause is « 1.0 month. » She pauses

In addition, the problem set in the invention is also solved by the fact that in the therapeutic and preventive electronic toothbrush for electrophoretic treatment of the oral cavity in home or traveling conditions, which contains a body, one end of which is made in the form of a manual drive handle, and the other - in the form of a brush pad (22) with bristle bundles installed in it, and an electrophoresis voltage source and a switching circuit that electrically connects the voltage source and bristle bundles, according to the invention, the switching circuit is provided with a polarity switch of the electrophoresis voltage, and the voltage source is installed with the possibility (22) of its replacement if necessary. -

The problem set in the invention is also solved by the fact that the electrophoresis voltage polarity switch is removable. iv)

The problem is also solved by the fact that the electrophoresis voltage polarity switch is made in the form of a replaceable end cup (stem) equipped with at least one flat spring-loaded contact with the possibility of its installation on the handle in two positions to ensure the appropriate electrical connection with the switching scheme and the possibility of feeding into beams bristles of positive potential from the voltage source - in the first position (position I), of negative potential - in the second position (position II) and zero potential - - with the cup (stem) removed (position II). h The task is also solved by the fact that a device is used as a voltage source for electrophoresis, which -» is chosen from a series consisting of an electric energy accumulator, a constant voltage battery, a direct current rectifier, their combination. At the same time, the affective value of the output voltage of such a source is - 0.5-6.58. o The task is also solved by the fact that the toothbrush is additionally equipped with a device for signaling readiness for work, that is, a device for signaling operational capacity.

The signaling device can be made in the form of at least one LED, which is included in the circuit breaker of the electrophoresis voltage source. o 50 The problem set in the invention is also solved by the fact that the therapeutic current density of electrophoresis in the oral cavity of the patient is provided, which is within the range of 5.0-250,ΩmA/cm?.

Finally, the problem set in the invention is solved by the fact that the toothbrush is additionally provided with at least one pocket made on the body of the brush, for catching liquid flow from the patient's oral cavity 25 when using the brush. The essence of the claimed invention is explained below by the figures of the drawings, which schematically show:

Fig. 1 and 2 - claimed electronic toothbrush, axonometry and, accordingly, front view, longitudinal section;

Fig. 3 - connection diagram of signal LEDs;

Figs 4 and 5 - removable end cup (stem) with a source of electrophoresis voltage, axonometry and, 6O, respectively, front view, longitudinal section; Fig. 6-9 - time diagrams of the pulse potential of electrophoresis on the patient's oral cavity.

Below are explained the design features of the implementation options of the claimed design, as well as the claimed method, which become clear based on the following specific examples.

The therapeutic and preventive electronic toothbrush for electrophoretic treatment of the oral cavity in both home and travel conditions (fig. 1-8) contains a body 1, one end of which is made in the form of a handle 2 of a manual drive, and the other - in the form of a brush pad З with mounted on her with bundles of 4 bristles. The housing 1 houses the electrophoresis voltage source 5 and the switching circuit 6, which electrically connects the source 5 with the bristle bundles 4. The switching circuit 6 is equipped with a switch 7 of the polarity of the electrophoresis pulse potential, and the voltage source 5 is made removable with the possibility of replacing it if necessary.

In the variants shown in Fig. 1-5, the polarity switch 7 is made in the form of a removable end cup (stem), provided with spring-loaded metal contacts 81 and 82 with the possibility of electromechanical interaction of one of them with the contact 9 installed in the housing 1, as well as with the possibility of interaction of the patient's fingers and/or palm with the ring part 91 and/or the elongated part 92 of the contact 9, installed on the outer surface of the handle 2, and the second of them (81 or 82) - with the switching circuit 6 installed inside the housing 1 Contact 81 is electrically connected to one of the poles of the voltage source 5, while contact 82 is connected to the second pole of this source. Thus, when changing the position of the end cup (stem) 7 on the handle 2 relative to the axis of its cross-section (from the | position to the | position and vice versa), there is a possibility of changing the polarity of the electrophoresis impulse potential on the bristle bundles 4. And when /5 cup (stem) 7 is removed from handle 2, that is, if it is not on handle 2, or if there is no voltage source 5, the electrophoresis potential will be absent, which is equivalent to applying a zero potential to the patient's oral cavity.

In the variants of the specific implementation presented in Fig. 1-2 and 4-5, a galvanic battery of constant voltage of the type of battery for wrist quartz watches with 2o output voltage Ovuu, - 1.58 was used as a voltage source 5.

In the variants of the specific implementation, shown in fig. 1-5, the claimed electronic toothbrush is additionally equipped with a device 10 for signaling readiness for work, in other words, a device for signaling its operational capacity. The device 10 (Fig. 3) is made in the form of two LEDs 11 and 12 connected in the device in opposite parallel. Device 10 with its terminals 13 and 14 is included through terminals 15 and 16 in the section of the circuit of the Commutation. In addition, the claimed electronic toothbrush is additionally equipped with pockets 17 made on the body 1 for catching the flow of liquid when using the brush. "

The claimed electronic brush works as follows.

After placing a working voltage source 5 in the end cup of the shank) 7 and placing the cup (the shank) in one of the two possible positions on the handle 2 (in position I), the bundles of bristles 4 are fed with Ge! with the corresponding pulse potential of electrophoresis. The declared electronic toothbrush is ready to work.

After applying to the bundles 4 bristles of electrically conductive toothpaste, which includes ions of the necessary chemical elements in its composition, depending on the composition of drinking water in the water supply source of a particular Ge! region and individual characteristics of the patient, the patient closes the electric circuit of electrophoresis through the oral cavity, his body and the fingers of the hand with which he holds the brush, and the metal contact plates 91 and 92. At the same time, the corresponding LED lights up due to the electrophoresis current through this LED, which exceeds y value of the activation current of the LED, and the other LED does not light up, since the current through it is much lower and does not exceed the value of its activation current. At the same time, the process of electrophoretic treatment of the patient's oral cavity begins, the session of which continues for 15 minutes, preferably 2-3 minutes. Under the action of the electrophoretic potential, the corresponding ions of remineralizing chemical elements "diffuse rapidly into the tooth enamel and mucous membrane of the patient's mouth and increase their concentration there, and due to this, their concentration in saliva is then maintained for 10 hours. During the use of this electronic toothbrush according to its purpose, the excess liquid in the patient's mouth, which flows down the "" body 1 of the brush, is caught by the pockets, and this protects the source 5 of the electrophoretic potential from a short circuit and the premature need to replace it.

If it is necessary to ensure the electrophoretic diffusion of ions of a different polarity, the end cup c (stem) 7 is installed on the handle 2 in another position - position I. At the same time, the first LED -3z goes out, and when the electrophoresis current circuit is closed, the second LED lights up, signaling a change in polarity impulse potential on the bundles of 4 bristles, which is applied to the patient's oral cavity (Se) through conductive toothpaste, and the electrophoresis process continues. At the same time, ions of a different polarity intensively diffuse into the tooth enamel and soft tissues of the patient's mouth.

Mami The declared design of the toothbrush allows to ensure the therapeutic current density of electrophoresis in the (Che) range - 5.0 - 250.0μA/cm7.

At values of electrophoresis current density | "5.0μA/cm? the effectiveness of electrophoretic treatment of the oral cavity decreases, and at values |»250.0μA/cm2? possible unwanted therapeutic effects. The duration of the session of electrophoretic treatment of the patient's oral cavity is 1--5 minutes, preferably 2--3 minutes.

If it is necessary to clean the teeth with zero electrophoresis potential, the process is carried out with the end cup (stem) 7 removed, observing the time characteristics indicated above and with the possibility of using toothbrushes and toothpastes of the same type. At the same time, none of the LEDs lights up. 60 Thus, the use of the claimed electronic toothbrush provides the possibility of implementing the claimed method of electrophoretic treatment of the patient's oral cavity at home or on the road in all its variants, which are illustrated below in examples of a specific implementation.

Example 1.

They used an electronic toothbrush of one type, namely a toothbrush of the claimed design, and a toothpaste of the same type, namely a toothpaste that contained positive ions, mainly calcium ions

(Ca), magnesium (Ma), phosphorus (RU) and others, as well as negative ions, mainly fluorine ions (E and others.

The process was carried out in one stage by applying to the patient's oral cavity alternately a positive or negative electrophoresis pulse potential from the electrophoresis voltage source 5 through the switching scheme 6 and conductive toothpaste of the appropriate composition in the form of positive or negative voltage pulses.

The polarity of the pulses was alternated during one session, so that a bundle of pulses consisted of two oppositely polarized pulses with practically no pause between them, and the bundles were alternated with pauses.

At the same time (fig. b): - the duration of one pulse was

Kmp - 0.5--5.0 min., mostly build - 2.0--3.0 min., and - the duration of a bundle of pulses was

Others - 0.5--5.0 min., mainly eaters - 2.0--3.0 min.; - the duration of the pause was

Inauza 7 10-24 hours, mostly (breaks - 10--12 hours; 1.0 months with two sessions every day.

After that, the specified cycle of electrophoretic treatment of the oral cavity was continued.

The therapeutic result achieved in this case consisted in the "fixation" of remineralizing chemical elements in tooth enamel and partial regeneration of defective areas due to an increase in the concentration of remineralizing elements in the patient's saliva, mainly due to an increase in the concentration of fluorine (B), calcium (Ca), magnesium ions (Ma"2), phosphorus (RU) and other remineralizing elements, and its preservation for 10 hours. At the same time, due to galvanization, a positive therapeutic effect was observed on the biological tissues of the patient's oral cavity with an electric current of low density, as a result of which the inflammatory processes on the mucous membrane of the oral cavity were removed, the bleeding of the gums was eliminated or reduced, and pain sensations were relieved in case of increased sensitivity of the teeth to thermal, mechanical and/or chemical effects (hyperesthesia). In addition, due to the effect on the biologically active points (hereinafter referred to as BAT) of the oral cavity with an electric current, and thus during their stimulation, a kind of "energy recharging" of the patient's body was carried out, which was manifested in the correction of BAT potentials, their alignment to normal values, which was positively manifested on the tissues of the oral cavity, organs of the respiratory and digestive systems, and also improved the action of the endocrine system, including the thyroid gland, which increased the general resistance of the body. at

The latter is very valuable for the population of Ukraine in light of the liquidation of the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster. co

The technical result of the use of the invention is an increase in efficiency due to: - reduction of labor costs for the manufacture of the claimed device due to a reduction in the number of required standard sizes of electronic toothbrushes; "-- - increase in reliability due to availability of operational capability signaling; 3o - increase in maintainability associated with the replacement of a faulty voltage source; o - constant use of only one brush, which, as a result, does not get dusty, dirty, etc.; - reducing the likelihood of confusing one's brush with someone else's, which also has a limited color range. "

Example 2. With 70 The conditions of the previous example were used and the electrophoretic treatment process was carried out in one stage, bundles of pulses consisted of unipolar pulses, the polarity of which alternated from session to session.

From" At the same time (Fig. 7): - the duration of one pulse was

Kmp - 0.5--5.0 min., mainly bud - 2.0--3.0 min., and 15 - the duration of a bundle of impulses was about Ilachki - 0.5--5.0 min., mainly idachki - 2.0--3.0 min.; -th - the duration of the pause was from Inauza 7 10--24 hours, mostly also pauses - 10-12 hours. 1.0 months with two sessions every day. (95) The obtained results are similar to the results in example 1. c Example 3.

The conditions of the previous example 2 were used, however, the bundles of pulses consisted of a pair of unipolar pulses, i.e., with twice-daily sessions, the polarity was alternated every day. 5 At the same time (Fig. 8c): - the duration of one pulse, which is equal to the duration of one electrophoresis session, was bmp - 0.5-5.0 min., mostly bup - 2.0-3.0 min.; - the duration of a bundle of pulses was

Ilachki - 0.5 min. -24.0 h., mainly girls - 12.0-24.0 h.; in - the duration of the pause consisted of pauses - 10.0-24.0 hours, mainly pauses - 10.0-12.0 hours. 1.0 months with two sessions every day.

The obtained results are similar to the results in examples 1 and 2.

Example 4.

The conditions of the previous example 3 were used, the process was carried out in one stage (stage) using an electronic 65 toothbrush and toothpaste of the same type. Packs of unipolar pulses consisted of 5-30 positive pulses and/or 20-30 negative pulses, which were alternated with pauses between them. At the same time (Fig. 9):

- the duration of one unipolar pulse in a pack, that is, the duration of one electrophoresis session, was bmp - 0.5-5.0 min., mainly (Tsmp - 2.0-3.0 min.; - the duration of the pause between pulses was

Breaks 7 10-24 hours, mostly breaks 10-12 hours. with two sessions every day; - the duration of a pack of positive pulses was

Idatchki 1 2 9 days - 10 months, mainly Idatchki 1 - 9-10 days; 70 - the duration of a pack of negative pulses was

Idachki 2 At 9 days - 1.0 months, mostly Idachki 2 - 20-30 days; - the duration of the pause between packs was

Breaks 7 10-30 days 1.0 months.

The obtained results are similar to the results in example 1.
