Description

Tooth Protection Wear

The improvement is related to the wear of the tooth protection in more detail can be worn on the upper or lower teeth of the oral cavity, as well as the protection of the normal teeth and can prevent the secondary damage of the treated and the teeth that require treatment, It is manufactured in a size corresponding to the average value, and is composed of soft synthetic rubber and hard synthetic rubber so that it is easy to wear and fix. Therefore, it does not need to be customized to wearer's teeth. This possible analysis means is provided with respect to the wear protection device that can be checked in real time the health status of the wearer.

Teeth (齒牙) is the first part of the digestive system is arranged in a bow-shaped (arch arch) symmetrically formed in the upper and lower jaw up and down pairs. It occupies about 20% of the surface area of the mouth, and the surface of the upper jaw teeth is larger than the surface area of the lower jaw teeth, and the teeth of the upper jaw slightly intersect the teeth of the lower jaw. The surface that appears in the mouth is enamel (enamel), the hardest tissue in our body, making it easier to chew, crush, and digest food in the mouth. In addition, the teeth are arranged in the proper position with the shape suitable for the jawbone, face shape, bite force (chewing force), etc., and also helps in correct pronunciation and speech.

Such teeth are very important because their teeth are extracted and grown for a lifetime. In addition to the normal care of the teeth, the treated teeth, such as implants also require careful care to prevent secondary damage.

Tooth damage is usually caused by chewing hard foods or by sandwiching foods between teeth and as a result of bacteria. If one tooth is damaged or a problem occurs, it will continue to chew on the undamaged side, even if the tooth is damaged.

Therefore, there is a need for a mouthpiece-type wear protection device that can be worn on the tooth to protect the entire tooth. However, because each individual oral structure and the arrangement of the teeth are different, there is a problem that the cost is burdened because the use of the dental protective wear must be made in a custom form at the dentist.

On the other hand, a biosensor is a biological receptor such as bacteria, DNA or blood sugar, as well as biological receptors that have the ability to recognize common chemicals are combined with electrical or optical transducers to convert biological interactions and recognition reactions into electrical or optical signals. It is a device that can selectively detect a material to be desired.

In recent years, research on biosensors related to medical care has been more actively conducted. For example, a patient directly extracts blood using a glucose sensor and connects the glucose sensor to a mobile phone to monitor his or her blood sugar level. Analyzes have also developed techniques that allow patients to recognize their own blood sugar levels.

Meanwhile, in order to obtain bacterial information in the oral cavity in the conventional dental hospital, a method of culturing bacteria in the oral cavity is used. However, the conventional method usually takes 2-3 days for bacterial culture and is cumbersome to visit a hospital.

Therefore, when a loss or correction of teeth is necessary or various fastening means provided in the oral cavity such as dentures, braces and tooth protectors used to protect the teeth, the biosensor analysis means is provided and mixed with the saliva or needle in the oral cavity. This is a time when a technology for checking health status in real time by analyzing the ingredients of food is required.

Tooth protection wear according to an embodiment of the present invention is a tooth protection wear that is worn on the teeth so that the entire upper teeth or lower teeth are protected at one time and is formed in a "∪" shape, located on both ends of the tooth protection wear mouth molar A first wearing part provided on the side and having a partition member having elastic restoring force so that adjacent molar teeth and the molar teeth are independently partitioned, and integrally connected with the first wearing part so as to be located inside the first wearing parts at both ends; A second wearing portion is formed and worn on the remaining teeth except the molar.

Hereinafter, with reference to Figures 1a to 2 will be described in detail the working relationship between the component and the member of the wear protection device 1 for a tooth protection according to an embodiment of the present improvement.

Here, the first wearing part 10 is worn on the molars of the wearer and serves to protect the molars, and is formed at both ends of the tooth protection wearing tool 1 formed in a “U” shape such as a horseshoe.

The first wearing part 10 is made of a soft synthetic rubber material of a flexible material so that it can be easily worn even if the tooth arrangement or size is slightly different. And since the number of molars for each wearer is different, it is formed to a length that can accommodate two to four molars, and two, three, four molars are made of an acceptable product, and the wearer can select and wear them. In addition, if necessary, the first wearing part 10 is detachably connected by a perforation line, and may be used separately according to the number of molar teeth. That is, although the first wearing part 10 is formed to accommodate four molar teeth, one or two are formed to be detachable, and thus may be separated as necessary according to the number of molar teeth of the wearer.
