Description

[規則37.2に基づきISAが決定した発明の名称] ファイバースコープを利用した根管充填システム[Name of invention determined by ISA based on Rule 37.2] Root canal filling system using fiberscope
 本発明は歯科根管治療に関するものである。 The present invention relates to dental root canal treatment.
 従前は、根管内に感染した細菌を死滅させることによって無菌化することが歯科治療の治療目標であったが、一度感染を起こした象牙細管を完全に無菌かするは不可能であり、無菌化が根管治療の成績に及ぼす相関が乏しいという事実から、現在では歯科根管治療の最終目標は、機械的に根管を拡大し、緊密に根管充填(特に根尖部閉鎖)することによって歯牙の内部と体内の交通を遮断する加圧根管充填法が根管治療のエビデンスである。この目的を達成するためには根管長測定、根管形成、根管充填の各ステップが正確に実施されることが要求されるが、根管長測定は、平均的根管長を考慮した手指の感覚、出血、疼痛、電気抵抗値、レントゲン検査、などの方法の組み合わせが採用され、根管長測定によって獲得された作業長に従って根管形成を行い、規格化された根管形成の後、根管充填には、ガッタパーチャポイントとシーラーを併用した加圧根管充填が行われている。
特願2001?352714
Previously, the goal of dental treatment was to sterilize by killing infected bacteria in the root canal, but once infected dentinal tubules cannot be completely sterilized, it is aseptic. Due to the fact that there is little correlation between rooting and the outcome of root canal treatment, the ultimate goal of dental root canal treatment is now to mechanically enlarge the root canal and close the root canal (especially apical closure) Evidence for root canal treatment is the pressurized root canal filling method, which blocks the inside of the tooth and the body. To achieve this objective, the root canal length measurement, root canal formation, and root canal filling steps must be performed accurately, but root canal length measurement takes into account the average root canal length. A combination of methods such as finger sensation, bleeding, pain, electrical resistance, X-ray examination, etc. are adopted, and root canal formation is performed according to the working length obtained by root canal length measurement, after standardized root canal formation In root canal filling, pressure root canal filling using a gutta percha point and a sealer is performed.
Japanese Patent Application 2001-352714
 しかしながら、根管治療の最も重要なファーストステップである根管長測定方法において平均的根管長を参考値とした手指の感覚は、術者の個人的な経験と感覚に頼る科学的根拠に乏しい計測法であり、根管内からの出血、あるいは疼痛を利用した極めて原始的な方法では、根管治療器具であるリーマーやファイルを根管外組織に穿孔する危険性あるいは穿孔することによって組織に少なからず障害を与える事になり、電気抵抗値を採用する場合では、一般的に湿潤下、特に根管清掃が完了する以前に感染歯髄、老廃物等が残留している状況では正確な値を求める事が困難である。また、根管内にリーマーやファイルを挿入してレントゲン撮影を行い、レントゲンフィルム上で補則計測をする方法では、根管の解剖学的な形状によっては二次元フィルム上の根尖が実際の根尖孔の位置と一致する確率は約30パーセント以下に留まるために正確な測定を行う事は困難であった。然るに本発明に於ける第一の課題は、湿潤下、あるいは感染歯髄、老廃物等が残留している状況であっても測定可能とし、不可視領域である根尖孔を視覚的に確認し、精密な根管長の測定を行う事である。また、前述の如く、微細で屈曲した根管に対してガッタパーチャを用いて死空無く加圧根管充填閉塞することは高度な技術と膨大な作業時間を要し、断面が円形のガッタパーチャマスターポイントとガッタパーチャアクセサリーポイントに化学重合樹脂、ジンクオキサイトセメントなどのシーラーを併用する場合、根管充填材を根尖部で加圧充填するためには根管口部を相当量拡大したテーパー状の根管拡大形成を行う事を余儀なくさせる。直線的な根管形状であればまだしも、回転切削器具であるリーマーやファイルを彎曲した根管に使用した場合は、根尖近くの拡大部に扇状のZipを作り加圧根管充填の妨げになり、根管中央部では根管壁が薄くなるStripが発生しやすく、同部で穿孔することによって予後不良となる危険性がある。第二の課題は、最小限の根管拡大量でありながら根尖から根管充填剤が突出あるいは死空を形成することなく根管充填深度を調節可能とし、さらに、根管充填材の硬化を自在にコントロール可能とする根管治療システムを提供しようとするものである。 However, in the root canal length measurement method, which is the most important first step in root canal treatment, the finger sensation with the average root canal length as a reference value is poor in scientific basis that relies on the operator's personal experience and sense. This is a measurement method, and it is a very primitive method using bleeding from the root canal or pain. The risk of drilling a reamer or file, which is a root canal treatment device, into the tissue outside the root canal or by drilling into the tissue. In the case of adopting the electrical resistance value, the correct value is generally obtained under wet conditions, especially in the case where infected pulp, waste, etc. remain before the root canal cleaning is completed. It is difficult to ask. In addition, when X-rays are taken by inserting a reamer or a file into the root canal and performing supplementary measurements on the X-ray film, the apex on the two-dimensional film may be the actual root apex depending on the anatomical shape of the root canal. Since the probability of matching with the position of the apex remains at about 30% or less, it is difficult to perform accurate measurement. However, the first problem in the present invention is that it can be measured even under wet conditions, or even in a situation where infected pulp, wastes, etc. remain, visually confirming the apical hole that is an invisible region, The precise measurement of root canal length. In addition, as described above, filling and closing a pressurized root canal without using a gutta percha to a fine and bent root canal requires advanced technology and enormous work time, and a gutta percha master point with a circular cross section. When using sealers such as chemically polymerized resin and zinc oxide cement together with the gutta-percha accessory point, in order to pressurize the root canal filling material at the apex, the root of the root canal is considerably enlarged. Force the tube to form. If it is a straight root canal shape, if a reamer or file, which is a rotary cutting tool, is used for a bent root canal, a fan-shaped Zip is created in the enlarged part near the apex to prevent pressure root canal filling. Therefore, a strip with a thin root canal wall tends to occur in the central portion of the root canal, and there is a risk of poor prognosis due to drilling in that portion. The second problem is that the root canal filling depth can be adjusted without protruding or forming a dead sky from the apex while the amount of root canal enlargement is minimal. It is intended to provide a root canal treatment system that can be controlled freely.
 本発明は、これまで不可視領域に対する処置であるが故に熟練の技に頼っていた根管治療の各治療ステップを明視下で施術可能とすることによって、偶発事故を防止し、治療の成績を向上させると共に、患者の放射線被爆をさけ、安全で予知性の高い根管治療システムを提供するために考案された物であり、第一の発明は、先端部視野画像を接眼レンズ、あるいは撮像装置接続してモニターに表示するスコープ機能と共に、光源から発光される光を伝搬発光する機能を持つ、複合構造、芯鞘構造あるいは単一構造の彎曲根管にも対応する適度な弾性と可撓性を有するファイバーで構成された多機能ファイバーを利用した根管治療システムである。この適度な弾性と可撓性を有するファイバーは、彎曲根管であっても根管内壁に沿ってスムースに根尖まで挿入可能であるので、光を伝搬発光する機能を照明として利用することによってスコープ機能で根尖部の状況を拡大画像として観察する事が可能となる。このように根管内を明視することによってファイバー先端部が根尖孔に到達した状況も視覚的に把握する事が可能となるので、前記ファイバー根管内挿入部挿入深度を直視可能な口腔内歯冠部の任意に設定した基準点に相当する位置にラバーストッパー、マーキングあるいはファイバー上に記入したメジャー値を直接読み取ることによって根管長を正確に測定する事が可能となる。 The present invention prevents accidents by making each treatment step of root canal treatment that has been relied on skilled techniques because it is a treatment for the invisible region so far, thereby preventing accidents and improving the results of treatment. The first aspect of the present invention is designed to provide a safe and highly predictable root canal treatment system while avoiding radiation exposure of a patient. Appropriate elasticity and flexibility for complex roots, core-sheath structures, or single-structure bent root canals that have the function of propagating and emitting light emitted from the light source as well as the scope function to connect and display on the monitor This is a root canal treatment system using a multifunctional fiber composed of fibers having This fiber with moderate elasticity and flexibility can be inserted smoothly into the root apex along the inner wall of the root canal even if it is a bent root canal. It becomes possible to observe the state of the apex as an enlarged image by the scope function. Since the inside of the root canal can be clearly seen, it is possible to visually grasp the situation where the fiber tip has reached the apical hole. It is possible to accurately measure the root canal length by directly reading the measure value written on the rubber stopper, marking or fiber at a position corresponding to the arbitrarily set reference point of the inner crown.
 更に、手元の多目的ファイバーのコントローラーあるいは口腔内保持装置部の操作でファイバーを根管内で移動、あるいは回転させ先端の向きを自在に変えられるので、根管口から根尖孔の直径約直径0.1?0.2mm程度の穴からファイバー先端入校部を突出させ、最狭窄部である根尖孔を破壊することなく根尖孔外周辺組織の観察も可能であるので診断機器としての有用性も高い。
 この根管内観察機能を利用して、根管清掃の終了後、根管充填を光硬化樹脂で行えば根管充填の各ステップに従って根管内壁に視覚的に認識できる色調あるいは蛍光色に調整した光硬化樹脂象牙質接着剤塗布後の塗布状態を多機能ファーバーのファイバースコープで確認し、次ぎに透明度の高い光硬化樹脂根管充填材を流し込んだ際の填塞状態、あるいは気泡の巻き込みによる死腔の有無等を視覚的に確認することが可能となる。この確認操作の段階では光硬化樹脂象牙質接着剤と光硬化樹脂根管充填材が重合する事が無い様に、各材料の重合波長とは異なった波長の光源の照明を採用する事は言うまでもない。また、光硬化樹脂象牙質接着剤塗布後の塗布と、光硬化樹脂根管充填材の充填は、別の経路(チャネル)のアプリケーターチューブを利用して行うことも可能である。さらにこのアプリケーターチューブは根管の洗浄や、吸引による乾燥や清掃作業にも応用するものである。
In addition, the direction of the tip can be freely changed by moving or rotating the fiber in the root canal by operating the controller of the multipurpose fiber at hand or the intraoral holding device, so that the diameter of the apical canal from the root canal opening is about 0.1 The fiber tip entrance part protrudes from a hole of about 0.2 mm, and it is possible to observe the tissue around the apical foramen without destroying the apical hole that is the most narrowed part.
Using this observation function in the root canal, after root canal cleaning is completed, if the root canal is filled with a photo-curing resin, it is adjusted to a color tone or fluorescent color that can be visually recognized on the inner wall of the root canal according to each step of root canal filling. After applying the light-curing resin dentin adhesive, the application state is confirmed with a fiberscope of a multifunctional fiber, and then the filling state when a highly transparent light-curing resin root canal filling material is poured, or death due to entrainment of bubbles It is possible to visually confirm the presence or absence of a cavity. Needless to say, light source illumination with a wavelength different from the polymerization wavelength of each material is adopted so that the photocuring resin dentin adhesive and the photocuring resin root canal filling material do not polymerize at the confirmation operation stage. Yes. Moreover, application | coating after photocuring resin dentin adhesive application | coating and filling of photocuring resin root canal filling material can also be performed using the applicator tube of another path | route (channel). Furthermore, this applicator tube is also applied to root canal washing, suction drying and cleaning operations.
 この様にして光硬化樹脂根管充填材が緊密に充填された状況を視覚的に確認後、同ファイバーに並列に配置した別の経路(チャネル)の光ファイバーで光源から光を伝搬拡散し、ファイバー全周を発光させることによって光硬化樹脂象牙質接着剤と、光硬化樹脂根管充填材を光重合し根尖部を化学的接着により閉塞し根管充填を完了する事が可能となる。根管充填後ファイバーは根管内にスリーピングさせるかあるいはファーバーに分離材を塗布し光硬化樹脂根管充填材中から引き抜く事も可能である。 After visually confirming that the photo-curing resin root canal filling material is tightly filled in this way, the light is propagated and diffused from the light source with the optical fiber of another path (channel) arranged in parallel to the fiber, and the fiber By making the entire circumference emit light, the photocurable resin dentin adhesive and the photocurable resin root canal filling material are photopolymerized, and the root apex is closed by chemical bonding, thereby completing the root canal filling. After filling the root canal, the fiber can be slept into the root canal, or can be pulled out of the photocured resin root canal filling material by applying a separating material to the fiber.
 前記多機能ファーバーのファイバースコープを利用した根管治療システムによって、不可視領域である根管治療の各ステップを全て明視下で施術確認する事が可能となるので非常に予知性の高い治療を行う事が可能となる。 The root canal treatment system using the fiber scope of the multifunctional fiber allows the operation of each of the root canal treatments, which are invisible areas, to be confirmed with clear vision, so that the treatment is highly predictable. Things will be possible.
 第二の発明の超音波内視鏡は、ファイバー先端に文字通り超音波(エコー)装置を装着した内視鏡で、根管内に挿入して根管内及び歯牙支持組織を超音波検査するものである。歯根外体表からのエコー検査と異なり、硬組織に妨げられる事無く歯牙の歯根根管内状況を観察可能であり、更に根管内に薬液、感染歯髄、老廃物等が残留している状況であっても、エコーをとらえて画像にする際に妨げになることもなく、観察目的の近くから5?30MHzという比較的高い周波数の超音波により、高い分解能の超音波観察をすることが可能である。第一の発明は、多機能ファーバーのファイバースコープによって視覚を確保する物であるので根管内に感染歯髄、老廃物等が残留している場合視覚的障害物となり視野の確保が困難であるが、超音波は組織のエコーによって画像を表示する物であるのでイニシャルワーキングレングスの測定には好適である。 The ultrasonic endoscope of the second invention is an endoscope in which an ultrasonic (echo) device is literally attached to the tip of the fiber, and is inserted into the root canal to ultrasonically inspect the root canal and the tooth supporting tissue. It is. Unlike echography from the external surface of the root of the root, the dental root canal status can be observed without being obstructed by the hard tissue, and the drug solution, infected pulp, and waste products remain in the root canal. Even so, it is possible to perform high-resolution ultrasonic observations with a relatively high frequency ultrasonic wave of 5 to 30 MHz from the vicinity of the observation purpose, without interfering with capturing the echo and creating an image. It is. The first invention is a thing that ensures vision with a fiber scope of a multifunctional fiber, so if infected dental pulp, waste, etc. remain in the root canal, it becomes a visual obstacle and it is difficult to secure a visual field. Ultrasonic waves are suitable for measuring the initial working length because they display an image by echoes of tissue.
 また、根尖病巣が存在する場合、超音波装置先端部を根尖孔外に僅かに突出させてエコー検査することによって病巣の広がりを把握する事も可能である。 In addition, when apical lesions exist, it is possible to grasp the spread of the lesions by performing an echo inspection by slightly protruding the tip of the ultrasonic device out of the apical holes.
 第三の発明は、第一および第二の発明の多機能ファイバー根管内に挿入する場合、スペースの限られた口腔内に於いて手圧では挿入深度を微調整し、更に決定したワーキングレングスで多機能ファイバーを維持固定する事は困難である。しかし、本発明においては、口腔内の治療対象の歯牙あるいは同一歯列内の歯牙を不動的な固定源に間接、直接的に根管内に挿入した多機能ファイバーを維持すると共に、その挿入量を調整する調節機構を設けることによって、調節ピッチに従って挿入深度を微調節する事が可能となる。この調節機構は、解剖学的な平均的根管長を目安に、多機能ファーバーを所定の位置まで手圧で挿入保持した後に微調整することも可能であるので、スピーディーな作業が可能となる。更に、多機能ファイバーあるいは調節機構に付与した目盛りによって治療対象の歯牙に設定した任意の基準点から根尖孔までの距離=正確な根管長を獲得する事が可能となる。これらの機構に加えて、任意の挿入深度に於いて多機能ファイバー先端軸を回転させることが可能であるので、根管側枝を発見するために根管壁の全周を確認する場合、あるいは極度に彎曲した根管のファイバー先端の挿入方向前方視野を確認する場合、ファイバー自体の反発力で入射口が根管内で外側側壁に圧接されるので撮像方向が外側壁方向に向き視野が障害される事になる。この様な場合、本発明の多目的ファイバー先端部には適当なプレアングルを付与してあるのでファイバーを回転させれば自在に視野方向を変更して側方視野を獲得する事が可能である。回転調節によっては、ファイバーを根管略中央に視野を保つ事も可能であるので、常に適切な視野を獲得する事が可能であるばかりか、側壁に視野を変更する事も可能であるのでレントゲン上では観察する事が困難である根管側枝の発見や、感染象牙質の状態を観察する事も可能となる。また、多機能ファイバーに付与したプレアングルが根管内挿入時の妨げとなる事を防止するためには、温度変化によって形状が変化する適度な弾力性と可撓性を有する形状記憶樹脂等を使用することが好ましい。 In the third invention, when inserted into the multifunctional fiber root canal of the first and second inventions, the insertion depth is finely adjusted by manual pressure in the oral cavity where space is limited, and the working length is further determined. It is difficult to maintain and fix multifunctional fibers. However, in the present invention, the multifunctional fiber in which the tooth to be treated in the oral cavity or the tooth in the same dentition is inserted directly into the root canal indirectly and directly into the root canal is maintained, and the insertion amount thereof By providing an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the insertion depth, the insertion depth can be finely adjusted according to the adjustment pitch. This adjustment mechanism can be fine-adjusted after inserting and holding the multifunctional fiber to a predetermined position by manual pressure with the anatomical average root canal length as a guide, so that speedy work is possible. . Furthermore, it is possible to obtain the distance from an arbitrary reference point set on the tooth to be treated to the apical canal = accurate root canal length by a scale provided to the multifunctional fiber or the adjusting mechanism. In addition to these mechanisms, it is possible to rotate the multifunctional fiber tip axis at any insertion depth, so if you want to check the entire circumference of the root canal wall to find the root canal side branch, or extremely When confirming the forward view of the insertion direction of the fiber tip of the root canal that is bent in the direction, the incident direction is pressed against the outer side wall in the root canal due to the repulsive force of the fiber itself, so the imaging direction is directed toward the outer wall and the field of view is obstructed. It will be. In such a case, since a suitable pre-angle is given to the tip of the multipurpose fiber of the present invention, it is possible to obtain a side view by freely changing the viewing direction by rotating the fiber. Depending on the rotation adjustment, it is possible to keep the field of view in the center of the root canal, so it is possible to always obtain an appropriate field of view, and it is also possible to change the field of view on the side wall, so It is also possible to discover root canal side branches that are difficult to observe and to observe the state of infected dentin. In addition, in order to prevent the pre-angle imparted to the multifunctional fiber from interfering with the insertion into the root canal, a shape memory resin having appropriate elasticity and flexibility that changes its shape due to temperature changes, etc. It is preferable to use it.
 このようにして獲得した根管長に対して最小限の根管拡大で予知性の高い根管充填を行うために、根管拡大器具の形状と多機能ファイバー根管内挿入部分のテーパー形状を相似形状とし更に前記多機能ファイバーの表面に光硬化樹脂象牙質接着剤及び光硬化樹脂根管充填材の溢出溝を設けた多機能ファイバーを利用した根管治療システムである。根管治療のゴールは、各種根管充填材を根尖まで到達せしめ、その根管に挿入した根管充填材を水平あるいは垂直方向から加圧して根尖孔を緊密に充填し閉鎖することによって歯牙の内部と体内の交通を遮断することにある。しかし、根管口から平均的に16ミリ以上ある天然歯根根管の先端に存在する0.1ミリ程度の根尖孔を加圧根管充填するためには、先ず根尖孔の根管側に根管充填材が根尖孔から突出、あるいは漏出することが無い様に、根尖孔の直近にアピカルシートを正確に形成する必要がある。このため一般的に加圧根管充填を実施する場合、#40以上の根管拡大(歯科用リーマーの規格元部で約1ミリ)が要求され、湾曲根管に於いては根管拡大時にジップ、あるいはストリップを形成する事が無い様に可及的に拡大根管形状が直線的な形状となる様に根管拡大が行われる。この拡大量は天然歯の解剖学的な根管形状を3倍から14倍まで拡大する事になり、修復後の咬合圧負担を考慮すると機能解剖学的には好ましい事ではない。しかし、本発明においては第1の発明の様に、根尖部を加圧する事無く光重合レジンによって閉鎖する物であり、従って彎曲根管であっても適度な弾性を備える多機能ファイバーは必要最小限の根管拡大量で根尖まで挿入し根管充填を完了することが可能である。然るに一般的な金属製の歯科用根管拡大器具が挿入可能な根管で形状であれば、金属製のファイルと同様に根尖まで到達させることが可能な柔軟でしかも腰のある多機能ファイバーを利用して、更に第4の発明は、根管拡大器具の形状と多機能ファイバー根管内挿入部分のテーパー形状が規格化された相似形状である事に加えて、前記多機能ファイバーの表面に光硬化樹脂象牙質接着剤及び光硬化樹脂根管充填材の溢出溝を設けてあるので、余剰光硬化樹脂象牙質接着剤及び光硬化樹脂根管充填材は前記溢出溝を伝って根管口から排出され、根管内に残留する光硬化樹脂象牙質接着剤及び光硬化樹脂根管充填材を可及的に減少させることが可能となるのでレジンの重合収縮による微小漏洩を最小限にとどめつつ最小限の根管拡大で予知性の高い根管充填を行うことが可能となる。 In order to perform root canal filling with a high degree of predictability with minimal root canal enlargement for the root canal length obtained in this way, the shape of the root canal enlargement tool and the taper shape of the insertion part in the multifunctional fiber root canal This is a root canal treatment system using a multifunctional fiber having a similar shape and further provided with an overflow groove of a photocurable resin dentin adhesive and a photocurable resin root canal filling material on the surface of the multifunctional fiber. The goal of root canal treatment is to allow various root canal filling materials to reach the apex, press the root canal filling material inserted into the root canal from the horizontal or vertical direction, close the apical hole and close it tightly. The purpose is to block traffic inside and inside the teeth. However, in order to fill a pressure root canal with a root apex of about 0.1 mm existing at the tip of a natural root canal that is 16 mm or more on average from the root canal, first the root canal side of the apical canal In order to prevent the root canal filling material from projecting or leaking out from the apical hole, it is necessary to accurately form the apical sheet in the immediate vicinity of the apical hole. For this reason, in general, when root canal filling is performed, root canal enlargement of # 40 or more (about 1 mm at the standard base of a dental reamer) is required. The root canal is expanded so that the expanded root canal shape is as straight as possible so that no zip or strip is formed. This expansion amount enlarges the anatomical root canal shape of natural teeth from 3 times to 14 times, and is not preferable in terms of functional anatomy considering the burden of occlusal pressure after restoration. However, in the present invention, as in the first invention, the root apex is closed by the photopolymerization resin without pressurizing, and therefore a multifunctional fiber having moderate elasticity is necessary even for a bent root canal. It is possible to insert the root apex with a minimum amount of root canal expansion and complete the root canal filling. However, if the shape of a root canal that can be inserted into a general metal dental root canal enlargement device, it is a flexible and waisty multifunctional fiber that can reach the apex in the same way as a metal file. In addition to the fact that the shape of the root canal enlargement device and the taper shape of the multifunctional fiber root canal insertion portion are standardized, the fourth invention uses the surface of the multifunctional fiber. Are provided with overflow grooves for the photocurable resin dentin adhesive and the photocurable resin root canal filling material, so that the excess photocured resin dentin adhesive and the photocurable resin root canal filling material pass through the overflow groove to obtain a root canal. Light curing resin dentin adhesive and light curing resin root canal filling material discharged from the mouth and remaining in the root canal can be reduced as much as possible, minimizing microleakage due to polymerization shrinkage of the resin. High predictability with minimal root canal expansion while remaining It is possible to perform root canal filling.
 加えて、第4発明においては、根管の太さと光硬化樹脂根管充填材の粘稠度によって光硬化樹脂根管充填材が根尖部から漏出することも懸念される。これに対して第5の発明は、根管孔部から光硬化樹脂根管充填材が根尖部から漏出することを防止するために、多機能ファイバー先端部に前記多機能ファイバーの直径と比較してより大きな外形を持つ栓止形状と、その栓止形状直近の根管口側に多機能ファイバー内に設置したアプリケーターチューブ(管)排出口を、設置した多機能ファイバーである。 In addition, in the fourth invention, there is a concern that the photocurable resin root canal filler leaks out from the apex due to the thickness of the root canal and the viscosity of the photocurable resin root canal filler. On the other hand, the fifth invention is compared with the diameter of the multifunctional fiber at the tip of the multifunctional fiber in order to prevent the photocurable resin root canal filler from leaking out of the root canal. Thus, a multi-functional fiber in which a stopper shape having a larger outer shape and an applicator tube (tube) discharge port installed in the multi-function fiber on the root canal opening side closest to the stopper shape is installed.
 このシステムは、根管を光重合レジンで充填してしまうため残存歯質が少ない場合など支台築造を考慮する必要がある。そもそも支台築造は根管治療の治療範囲であり、このため第6の発明では、多機能ファイバーの弾性と可撓性を損なうことが無い炭素繊維、ガラス繊維、樹脂繊維あるいは金属のメッシュチューブで多機能ファイバーを被覆し、根管充填後、あるいは根管充填時に多機能ファイバーを発光させることによって、支台築造時に根管内および実質欠損部に充填されるコア築造用光重合レジンと共に前記メッシュチューブ繊維内に含浸したコア築造用光重合レジンを重合し前記発光ファイバーを繊維強化プラスチックポストと成す根管治療システムである。
 これら根幹挿入部分が特殊な形状を持ったファイバーは、多機能ファイバーを用いて根管長を把握し根管拡大形成終了した後、根管充填のステップのみ使用する専用マスターポイントとして光源から光を伝搬拡散し、ファイバー全周を発光させ光硬化樹脂象牙質接着剤と、光硬化樹脂根管充填材を光重合し根尖部を化学的接着により閉塞し根管充填を完了してもよい。
In this system, since the root canal is filled with a photopolymerization resin, it is necessary to consider the construction of an abutment such as when there are few remaining teeth. In the first place, abutment construction is a treatment range of root canal treatment. Therefore, in the sixth invention, carbon fiber, glass fiber, resin fiber or metal mesh tube that does not impair the elasticity and flexibility of the multifunctional fiber is used. The mesh together with the photopolymerization resin for core construction filled in the root canal and the substantial defect part when the abutment is built by covering the multifunctional fiber and emitting the multifunctional fiber after filling the root canal or when filling the root canal This is a root canal treatment system in which a core-building photopolymerization resin impregnated in a tube fiber is polymerized and the light-emitting fiber is formed into a fiber-reinforced plastic post.
Fibers with special shapes in the root canal insertion part are used as multi-function fibers to grasp the root canal length and complete the root canal enlargement. The root canal filling may be completed by propagating and diffusing, photo-polymerizing the photo-curing resin dentin adhesive and the photo-curing resin root canal filling material by blocking the root of the root by chemical bonding.
 上記手段によれば、以下のような作用が得られる。 According to the above means, the following actions can be obtained.
 本発明の請求項1~5に記載の多目的ファイバーによれば、根管口から根尖孔間での根管内の状況を先端部視野画像スコープ機能あるいは超音波装置で根尖孔位置を明視確認する事ができるので、多目的ファイバーの根尖到達を肉眼的に確認して正確な根管長測定が可能となる。順次各ステップでは根管清掃後の根管の状況、光硬化樹脂象牙質接着剤根管塗布状況、光硬化樹脂根管充填材の填塞状況も全て視覚的に確認することが可能であるのでこれまでの不可視領域に対するブラインドテクニックとは異なり、極めて確実性の高い根管治療を施術する事が可能となる。加えて、前記多機能ファイバー根管内挿入部分の概形形状を回転切削器具規格根管拡大のテーパー形状に適合させると共に溢出溝を設けることによって根管内残留する光硬化樹脂根管充填材が最少量となるのでレジンの重合収縮による微小漏洩を最小限にとどめつつ最小限の根管拡大で根尖孔を緊密に接着閉鎖可能となる。さらに、多機能ファイバー先端部に前記多機能ファイバーの直径と比較してより大きな外形を持つ栓止形状と、その栓止形状直近の根管口側に多機能ファイバー内に設置することによって、あらかじめ根管孔は前記栓止形状によって物理的に閉鎖されているので、アプリケータチューブ(管)から排出された光硬化樹脂根管充填材が根尖部根管孔から漏出することを防止できる。 According to the multipurpose fiber according to claims 1 to 5 of the present invention, the state of the root canal between the root canal opening and the apical canal is clarified by the distal end visual field image scope function or the ultrasonic device. Since it can be visually confirmed, it is possible to accurately measure the root canal length by visually confirming the arrival of the apex of the multipurpose fiber. Sequentially, in each step, it is possible to visually check the status of the root canal after cleaning the root canal, the application status of the photocurable resin dentin adhesive root canal, and the filling status of the photocurable resin root canal filling material. Unlike blind techniques for invisible areas up to, it is possible to perform root canal treatment with extremely high certainty. In addition, a photocurable resin root canal filling material that remains in the root canal by adapting the rough shape of the insertion portion in the multi-function fiber root canal to the tapered shape of the root canal enlargement of the rotating cutting tool standard and providing an overflow groove Since the amount is minimal, the apical canal can be tightly closed with minimal root canal expansion while minimizing microleakage due to polymerization shrinkage of the resin. Furthermore, by installing the stopper shape with a larger outer shape at the tip of the multifunctional fiber compared to the diameter of the multifunctional fiber, and installing it in the multifunctional fiber on the root canal side closest to the stopper shape, Since the root canal is physically closed by the stopper shape, it is possible to prevent the light-curing resin root canal filling material discharged from the applicator tube (tube) from leaking out from the apical root canal.
 さらに根管治療の治療範囲である支台築造を考慮するために、第6の発明を利用すれば、多機能ファイバーの弾性と可撓性を損なうことが無い炭素繊維、ガラス繊維、樹脂繊維あるいは金属のメッシュチューブで多機能ファイバーを被覆し、根管充填後、あるいは根管充填時に支台築造時に根管内および実質欠損部に充填されるコア築造用光重合レジンと共に前記メッシュチューブ繊維内に含浸したコア築造用光重合レジンを多機能ファイバーを発光させることによって、重合し前記発光ファイバーを繊維強化プラスチックポストと成すことが可能となるので、根幹充填と同時に支台歯の強度を飛躍的に向上させることができる。
 これら安全性の高い根管充填システムによって予知性の高い根管治療を実施可能となるという優れた効果を奏し得る。
Further, in order to consider abutment construction which is a treatment range of root canal treatment, if the sixth invention is used, carbon fiber, glass fiber, resin fiber or the like that does not impair the elasticity and flexibility of the multifunctional fiber. Multifunctional fiber is covered with a metal mesh tube, and after filling the root canal or in the mesh tube fiber together with the photopolymerization resin for core construction that fills the root canal and the substantial defect part when the abutment is built when filling the root canal The impregnated photopolymerization resin for core construction can be polymerized by emitting light from the multifunctional fiber, so that the light-emitting fiber can be made into a fiber reinforced plastic post. Can be improved.
These highly safe root canal filling systems can have an excellent effect of enabling highly predictive root canal treatment.

 以下、本発明の実施の形態を図示例と共に説明する。図1~図8は発明を実施する形態の一例であって、図中、図と同一の符号を付した部分は同一物を表わしており、基本的に本発明の多目的ファイバーの構成は同様であるが、本図示例の特徴とするところは、根管治療の各ステップを明視下で実施可能とすることによって、図1に示す如く、根管長を正確に計測する点と、図4に示す様に光重合象牙質接着剤の塗布状況の確認、および図5に示す様に光重合樹脂根管充填材の填塞状態の確認を可能とした点、更に、図8に示す様に多目的ファイバーあるいは、多目的ファーバーと置き換えた光拡散ファイバー表面に漏出溝を設けて充填レジン量を可及的に減少させた点にある。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 8 are examples of embodiments for carrying out the invention. In the drawings, the same reference numerals as those in the figure denote the same parts, and the configuration of the multipurpose fiber of the present invention is basically the same. However, the feature of the illustrated example is that the root canal length can be accurately measured as shown in FIG. 1 by enabling each step of root canal treatment to be performed under clear vision. As shown in FIG. 8, it is possible to confirm the application state of the photopolymerizable dentin adhesive, and to confirm the filling state of the photopolymerized resin root canal filling material as shown in FIG. The amount of the filling resin is reduced as much as possible by providing a leakage groove on the surface of the light diffusion fiber replaced with the fiber or the multipurpose fiber.
 次に、治療手順を図示例に従って説明する。一般に上皮障壁感染防御免疫を超えて感染源がこの障壁を突破し生体内に細菌が侵入した場合の防護メカニズムが、自然免疫あるいは自然免疫を突破した感染源に対応する獲得免疫は、抗体や補体などの血中タンパク質による体液性免疫の他に、リンパ球などの細胞による細胞性免疫によって担われている。従って、感染、あるいは壊死歯髄を除去した健全組織と血行の存在しない根管および象牙質内の細菌に対しては免疫力を発揮する事が不可能である。故に、歯科根管治療の概念は、歯牙根管内歯髄の細菌感染に起因する感染根管内の感染歯髄を清掃除去し、空洞となった根管をセメント質被覆範囲に於ける根管最狭窄交通部位である根尖孔で閉鎖することによって、根管孔部で体外(根管内、口腔内)と体内(生体内)を分離し、生体の上皮障壁感染防御免疫の様に新たなる感染を機械的に遮断することによって障壁を創造、維持することで生体を防御するというものである。 Next, the treatment procedure will be described according to the illustrated example. In general, when the source of infection exceeds the protective immunity against epithelial barrier infection and the invasion source breaks through this barrier and bacteria enter the living body, the acquired immunity corresponding to the infectious source that broke through the natural immunity or innate immunity is the antibody or complement. In addition to humoral immunity by blood proteins such as the body, it is carried by cellular immunity by cells such as lymphocytes. Therefore, it is impossible to exert immunity against healthy tissue from which infected or necrotic pulp has been removed, and bacteria in the root canal and dentin without blood circulation. Therefore, the concept of dental root canal treatment is to clean and remove the infected pulp in the infected root canal caused by bacterial infection of the dental pulp in the root canal, and to remove the hollow root canal from the root canal in the cementitious coating area. By closing at the apical canal, which is a stenotic traffic site, the outside of the body (inside the root canal and oral cavity) and the inside of the body (in vivo) are separated at the root canal and renewed like epithelial barrier infection defense immunity in the body. It protects the living body by creating and maintaining a barrier by mechanically blocking infection.
 しかしながら、前述の様に、根管は根管口以先根管孔まで肉眼的に明視する事は不可能であるために、終末処置である根管充填に至る根管清掃消毒、根管拡大、根管形成のステップを全てブラインドオペレーションで施術することになり、熟練を積んだ歯科医師であっても術後評価は長期予後で判断する以外に無く、不可視領域に於ける機械的閉鎖処置であるだけに治療完了直後に予知性を判断する事は困難であった。本発明は、この不可視領域の根管治療を明視野下で実施する物であり、図1に示す様に、先端部の視野を投射するスコープ機能を備えた多目的ファイバー1を口腔内保持装置2で歯牙に対して維持して根管内を観察する物である。多目的ファイバー1は、図2に示す様に、昇降ダイヤル4を回転させると一体となって昇降ネジ2が上下に移動(E方向)し、適度な弾力と可撓性を備えた多目的ファイバーを根管壁に沿って根管内で挿入輩出する事ができる。また、多目的ファーバー1は、先端直近の彎曲部10で根管の彎曲形状に応じてプレベンディングされているので、口腔内使用状況では図7に示す様に、コントローラー18の旋回ダイヤル19を操作することによって図2に示す様に多目的ファイバー1は、昇降ネジ2内の自在回転ローラー11と共に回転するので、根管内に於いてE`の様に旋回し先端部視野を自在に変更する事が可能となるので根管の隅々まで観察する事が可能となる。更に昇降ダイヤル4を回転させ多目的ファイバー1を根尖方向に進めてゆくと根管孔を明視発見することができる。この時点で多目的ファイバー先端を注意深く根管向上で停止し、マスターポイント到達深度目盛り13の値を測定することによって根管長を視覚的に確認し、確定的に作業長を把握する事が可能となる。更に本発明のシステムでは一連の治療行為の間、口腔内保持装置3を、アーム7を介して保持装置クランプ17によって歯牙に直接固定し、基準点として利用しているので治療の各ステップは整合性を与える事が可能となる。このようにして獲得した根管長で、昇降ダイヤル4を緩めて多目的ファイバー1と一体の昇降ネジ2を取り外し、最小限の根管拡大量で根管内の感染歯髄等の軟組織を清掃除去した根管に図3に示す様にペーパーポイント5を利用して光重合象牙質接着剤15を塗布する。光重合象牙質接着剤15根管内塗布状況は、図4に示す様に再度多目的ファイバー1を根管内に戻して根尖部まで観察する。この際には視野を確保するための光源は、光重合象牙質接着剤15が反応を起こす事無い波長の光を使用する事は当然であるが、光重合象牙質接着剤15自体に蛍光色等の着色を施すことによってより明視性を向上する。前処置に続けて図5に示す様に多目的ファイバー1を獲得根管長に従って根尖孔直近に位置させて、ファーバー先端より光重合根管充填材16を根管内輩出し気泡なとの発生による死腔形成が無く緊密に根管が充填されているかを視覚的に確認しながら填塞の上、多目的ファイバー1を発光し、光重合象牙質接着剤15と光重合根管充填材16を重合し根管を閉塞する。また、光重合根管充填材16に象牙質接着力を有する材料を用いた場合は、前記光重合象牙質接着剤15の塗布と光重合根管充填材16填塞ステップを分けて個別に使用する必要は無い。
 このようにして根管充填が終了した後は、多目的ファイバーは、根管口26で切断すると、図6に示す様に、正確な根管長測値を根拠とした、最小限の根管拡大量で、無加圧で根管口26から根尖孔14まで根管内象牙質に光重合象牙質接着剤15によって光重合根管充填材16が接着した予知性の高い根管充填状態を獲得する事が可能となる。
However, as mentioned above, since the root canal cannot be visualized macroscopically from the root canal to the root canal hole, root canal cleaning and disinfection and root canal leading to root canal filling, which is a terminal treatment, are possible. All the steps of enlargement and root canal formation will be performed by blind operation, and even a skilled dentist will have a postoperative evaluation other than judging long-term prognosis, and mechanical closure treatment in the invisible region Therefore, it was difficult to judge the predictability immediately after the completion of treatment. In the present invention, the root canal treatment in the invisible region is performed under a bright field. As shown in FIG. 1, the multipurpose fiber 1 having a scope function for projecting the field of view of the distal end is provided in the oral cavity holding device 2. It is a thing to observe the inside of the root canal while maintaining the teeth. As shown in FIG. 2, the multipurpose fiber 1 is integrally moved when the elevating dial 4 is rotated, and the elevating screw 2 moves up and down (E direction), and the multipurpose fiber 1 having appropriate elasticity and flexibility is rooted. Insertion can be produced in the root canal along the tube wall. In addition, since the multipurpose fiber 1 is pre-bended in the bent portion 10 near the tip according to the bent shape of the root canal, the swivel dial 19 of the controller 18 is operated as shown in FIG. Thus, as shown in FIG. 2, the multipurpose fiber 1 rotates together with the freely rotating roller 11 in the lifting screw 2, so that it can turn like E` in the root canal to freely change the tip field of view. It becomes possible to observe every corner of the root canal. Further, when the elevating dial 4 is rotated and the multipurpose fiber 1 is advanced in the apical direction, the root canal can be clearly detected. At this point, the tip of the multi-purpose fiber is carefully stopped by root canal improvement, and the root canal length can be visually confirmed by measuring the value of the master point arrival depth scale 13 so that the working length can be determined deterministically. Become. Further, in the system of the present invention, the oral cavity holding device 3 is directly fixed to the tooth by the holding device clamp 17 through the arm 7 and used as a reference point during a series of treatment actions. It becomes possible to give sex. With the root canal length obtained in this way, the lifting dial 4 is loosened, the lifting screw 2 integrated with the multipurpose fiber 1 is removed, and soft tissue such as infected pulp in the root canal is cleaned and removed with a minimum amount of root canal enlargement. As shown in FIG. 3, the photopolymerization dentin adhesive 15 is applied to the root canal using the paper point 5. As shown in FIG. 4, the photopolymerization dentin adhesive 15 is applied to the root canal again, and the multipurpose fiber 1 is returned to the root canal again and observed up to the apex. In this case, as a light source for securing a visual field, it is natural to use light having a wavelength that does not cause the photopolymerization dentin adhesive 15 to react, but the photopolymerization dentin adhesive 15 itself has a fluorescent color. Visibility is further improved by coloring such as. Following the pretreatment, as shown in FIG. 5, the multi-purpose fiber 1 is positioned in the immediate vicinity of the apical canal according to the acquired root canal length, and the photopolymerization root canal filling material 16 is generated from the tip of the fiber so that no bubbles are generated. After confirming whether the root canal is tightly filled without formation of dead space due to, the multi-purpose fiber 1 emits light, and the photopolymerization dentin adhesive 15 and the photopolymerization root canal filling material 16 are polymerized. The root canal is occluded. When a material having dentin adhesive force is used for the photopolymerization root canal filling material 16, the application of the photopolymerization dentin adhesive 15 and the photopolymerization root canal filling material 16 filling step are used separately. There is no need.
After the root canal filling is completed in this way, the multipurpose fiber is cut at the root canal opening 26, and as shown in FIG. 6, the minimum root canal enlargement based on the accurate root canal length measurement is performed. A highly predictable root canal filling state in which the photopolymerization root canal filling material 16 is bonded to the dentin in the root canal from the root canal opening 26 to the apical hole 14 without pressure by the photopolymerization dentin adhesive 15. It becomes possible to acquire.
 また、本発明の根管充填システムは、多目的ファーバーを従来のマスターポイントに置き換えた場合シングルポイントテクニックの範疇にはいるが、前歯部の様に根管が解剖学的に太い形状を持つ物に前述の図1から図6に至る根管充填を実施した場合、当然光重合樹脂根管充填材の体積は大きな物となる。樹脂の性能に関らず基本的に重合収縮は発生する物である事を考えれば、重合樹脂体積は可及的に少なくある事が望ましい。それゆえ比較的根管の太い物に対し、図8に示様に、多機能ファイバー1の根管内挿入部分のテーパー形状と規格化された相似形状のテーパー形状の根管拡リーマー25を利用してCの様に根尖に向けて根管拡大を行う。このように規格根管形成された根管に、同様に規格化した多機能ファイバー1の表面に光硬化樹脂根管充填材16を塗布して根尖方向に挿入すると多機能ファイバーの表面に設けた溢出溝24を伝って光硬化樹脂象牙質接着剤及び光硬化樹脂根管充填材16の溢出溝を設けてあるので、余剰光硬化樹脂象牙質接着剤及び光硬化樹脂根管充填材は根管口から排出され、根管内に残留する光硬化樹脂象牙質接着剤及び光硬化樹脂根管充填材を可及的に減少させることが可能となる。従ってレジンの重合収縮による微小漏洩を最小限にとどめつつ最小限の根管拡大で予知性の高い根管充填を行うことが可能となる。又、光重合レジンの粘調度によっては第8の発明を用いても根尖孔からレジンの流出が懸念される場合、図9に示すように、多目的ファイバー1の先端に根尖ストッパー28を装着した状態でb2に示す様に根尖孔に適合させアプリケーターチューブ30を利用して排出口29から重合樹脂象牙質接着剤15を排出すればb4に示す様に根尖部分から根管口方向に向けて死空なく光重合樹脂根管充填材が根幹を満たす。このときb3に示す様にメッシュチューブ27の多目的ファイバーの周囲に配置しておけば光重合レジンが含浸されたメッシュチューブ27も同時に光硬化するのでb5に示す様に根幹充填と同時に強固な支台築造処置を完了することができる。 In addition, the root canal filling system of the present invention falls within the category of the single point technique when the multipurpose fiber is replaced with the conventional master point, but the root canal has an anatomically thick shape like the anterior teeth. When the root canal filling from FIG. 1 to FIG. 6 is performed, the volume of the photopolymerized resin root canal filling material is naturally large. In consideration of the fact that polymerization shrinkage basically occurs regardless of the performance of the resin, it is desirable that the volume of the polymerization resin be as small as possible. Therefore, for a relatively thick root canal, as shown in FIG. 8, a taper-shaped root canal reamer 25 having a tapered shape similar to a standardized taper shape of the insertion portion of the multifunctional fiber 1 is used. Then, expand the root canal toward the apex as in C. When the photo-curing resin root canal filling material 16 is applied to the surface of the multi-function fiber 1 that has been similarly standardized and inserted in the apical direction, the root canal thus formed is provided on the surface of the multi-function fiber. Since the overflow groove of the photocuring resin dentin adhesive and the photocuring resin root canal filling material 16 is provided along the overflow groove 24, the surplus photocuring resin dentin adhesive and the photocuring resin root canal filling material are not rooted. It becomes possible to reduce as much as possible the photocurable resin dentin adhesive and the photocurable resin root canal filling material that are discharged from the tube port and remain in the root canal. Accordingly, it is possible to perform root canal filling with high predictability by minimizing root canal expansion while minimizing microleakage due to polymerization shrinkage of the resin. Also, depending on the viscosity of the photopolymerization resin, if there is a concern about the outflow of the resin from the apical hole even if the eighth invention is used, the apical stopper 28 is attached to the tip of the multipurpose fiber 1 as shown in FIG. In this state, if the polymer resin dentin adhesive 15 is discharged from the discharge port 29 by using the applicator tube 30 with the apical hole as shown in b2, the apical portion in the direction of the root canal as shown in b4. The photopolymerization resin root canal filling material fills the foundation without dying. At this time, if arranged around the multipurpose fiber of the mesh tube 27 as shown in b3, the mesh tube 27 impregnated with the photopolymerization resin is also photocured at the same time. You can complete the build-up procedure.
  尚、本発明の光拡散樹脂ファイバーと光硬化樹脂および光硬化樹脂象牙質接着剤を応用した歯科根管治療システムは、上述の図示例にのみ限定されるものではなく、多目的ファイバー1あるいは溢出溝24の形状や数は、歯種や根管の解剖学的形態に応じ変更され、また、多機能ファーバーについてもコントラーラーに設置される撮像装置、光源、さらに口腔内保持装置、旋回装置、および昇降装置についても本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲内において機械的構造に種々変更を加え得ることは勿論である。 The dental root canal treatment system to which the light diffusing resin fiber, the light curable resin, and the light curable resin dentin adhesive according to the present invention are applied is not limited to the above-mentioned illustrated example, but the multipurpose fiber 1 or the overflow groove The shape and number of 24 is changed according to the tooth type and the anatomical form of the root canal, and an imaging device, a light source, an intraoral holding device, a turning device, It goes without saying that various modifications can be made to the mechanical structure of the lifting device without departing from the scope of the present invention.
 この非常に細い形状の多機能ファーバーのファイバースコーブを利用すれば前述の様な歯科根管治療以外にも口腔内に於いて歯周ポケット内に挿入して歯根表面の観察や、瘻孔に挿入して組織の炎症状態の観察および診断にも応用する事が可能である。これら全ての診断要素としては、何も完全な画像情報を必要とする物では無く、モノクロ画像あるいは明度、再度、色調などの単純な画像情報が診断要素の単純化に貢献するケースも想定される物である。然るに歯科領域以外に一般医科領域に於ける応用としては、以下の様な利用が考えられる。これまで組織確定診断をする場合、患部の損傷を最小限に抑えるために細い注射針で病巣に穿刺して内容物を吸引採取し臨床検査を実施していた。一般的にこの方法では、採取サンプルをラボで検査を行うために確定診断を行うために相応の時間を要する事が否めない。しかし、本発明の非常に細い多機能ファイバーを患部病巣に挿入し、拡大画像を病理組織検査ラボに送信することによって短時間に確定診断を実施することが可能となる。このように0、1ミリ程度の非常に細い多機能ファイバーを利用すれば心臓カテーテル手術の臨床に於いてもこれまで二次元造影モニターを使用して熟練した医師が手探りで施術していた検査あるいは手術を、血管内を直接明視して挿入することが可能となるので、手術時間の短縮は下より、確実性と、安全性に向上に寄与する物である。 In addition to the above-mentioned dental root canal treatment, this extremely thin multi-function fiber fiber scrub can be inserted into the periodontal pocket in the oral cavity to observe the root surface and insert into the fistula. Thus, it can be applied to observation and diagnosis of an inflammatory state of a tissue. All of these diagnostic elements are not things that require complete image information, and it is also assumed that monochrome image or simple image information such as brightness and color tone will contribute to simplification of diagnostic elements. It is a thing. However, the following uses can be considered as applications in the general medical field besides the dental field. In the past, when making a tissue diagnosis, in order to minimize damage to the affected area, the lesion was punctured with a thin needle and the contents were aspirated and collected for clinical examination. In general, it cannot be denied that this method requires a certain amount of time to make a definitive diagnosis in order to examine a collected sample in a laboratory. However, a definitive diagnosis can be performed in a short time by inserting the very thin multifunctional fiber of the present invention into an affected lesion and transmitting an enlarged image to a histopathology laboratory. In this way, if a very thin multi-functional fiber of about 0, 1 mm is used, even in the clinical practice of cardiac catheter surgery, an examination that has been performed by a fictitious doctor using a two-dimensional contrast monitor until now, Since surgery can be inserted with direct visualization of the inside of the blood vessel, shortening of the operation time contributes to improvement in reliability and safety.
