The oral protection mouthpiece 100 for dental anesthesia patient shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2 is made of a silicone material through a single mold, and is largely made of a handle 110 and a lip occlusal part 130 where the lips touch and , the tooth occlusal part 140 where the teeth are engaged, the tongue protection part 150 to prevent the tongue from biting in a state where the anesthesia is less released, and the ball protection part to prevent the ball from being bitten in the state where the anesthesia is less released ( 160) may be included.

Here, the mouthpiece 100 shown as an example of the present invention has the shape of a banana as a whole, and the color is also yellow so that there is no objection to infants or children.

However, the shape of the mouthpiece 100 is not limited to the illustrated banana.

The handle 110 may have a circular shape or a bar shape like a banana stem for easy gripping, and is a part that protrudes out of the oral cavity when worn.

In addition, it is connected naturally from the handle 110 to form the lip occlusal portion 130 where the upper lip and the lower lip come into contact with each other when worn.

The lip occlusal part 130 is a neck part connecting the tooth occlusal part 140, and the width does not need to be very wide, and it is a part that makes the overall shape.

The prevention plate 120 may be integrally formed between the handle 110 and the lip occlusion part 130 to prevent the handle 110 from entering the mouth.

The prevention plate 120 is possible if it is in the form of a vertical plate, and may be similar to the form in the gonggal pacifier that babies wear in their mouths.

In addition, the occlusal part 140 is formed in a curved surface similar to the arrangement of the teeth and is connected to the upper and lower teeth of either the left or right side based on the incisors. .

In addition, the dental occlusal portion 140 is preferably formed in a curved surface along the molar side from the incisors of the teeth to engage the upper and lower portions of either the left or right side based on the incisors, which is slightly curved in the shape of the banana and may be similar.

In addition, the tooth occlusion unit 140 forms a recessed groove along the longitudinal direction, and a plurality of protrusions 142 are formed on the upper and lower surfaces in a regular or irregular manner, so that users with malocclusion can be brought into close contact with each other during tooth occlusion.

The shape of the protrusion 142 may be an embossed shape or a bar of a certain length.

Furthermore, the tooth occlusal portion 140 is wider from the incisor-side position toward the molar position during tooth occlusion, making it comfortable to wear, and preferably, the incisor-side position may be thicker than the molar-side position.

And one side of the tooth occlusal part 140, that is, the inner surface having a smaller radius than in the overall curved shape, forms the tongue protection part 150 that prevents the tongue from being bitten by the teeth.

The tongue protector 150 forms a wall to prevent the tongue from approaching the teeth involuntarily, but may be formed in a convex shape.

And a ball protection unit ( 160) is formed.

The ball protection part 160 may also be formed to be convex toward the ball direction.

In addition, a plurality of chambers 170 that are formed to lead to the inside of the dental occlusal part 140 on the side of the tongue protection part 150 to cushion the occlusal impact may be formed.

The chamber 170 may also be formed from the ball protection unit 160 side.

On the other hand, the lifespan of the mouthpiece 100 is usually different depending on the strength of clenching the teeth, but since the lifespan of the mouthpiece 100 itself is not permanent, it is discarded after use for a certain period of time.

At this time, the mouthpiece 100 uses silicon, and thus, environmental contamination may be a problem during the disposal process.

Since the mouthpiece 100 of the present invention contains the biodegradant in the form of microparticles, micropores can be formed in the mouthpiece according to the decomposition of the biodegradant. Thereafter, the microbiological community settles on the formed pores, so that the particulate biodegradant can serve as a starting point for promoting the biodegradation of the entire mouthpiece.

Further, in a similar context, in the mouthpiece of the present invention, it is preferable that at least one surface of the microparticles of the biodegradant in the form of microparticles is exposed to the outer surface of the mouthpiece. By exposing the microparticles to the outer surface, it is possible to enjoy the effect of promoting biodegradation of the mouthpiece of the present invention.

On the other hand, the biodegradable agent is polylactic acid (PLA), polyglycolic acid (PGA), polycaprolactone (PCL), polybutylene succinate (PBS), poly(butylenes adipate- co-terephthalate), PBAT), or a copolymer thereof may be used alone or as a mixture of two. In particular, it is preferable to use a fatty acid ester compound as a biodegradant in that it is hydrolyzed and decomposed into the organic acid of the monomer in addition to the biodegradation function. On the other hand, the decomposed organic acid may act as an oxidizing agent and serve to accelerate further chemical decomposition of the mouthpiece.

In the present invention, the 'fine particles' refer to particles that are not completely solvated. Alternatively, in the present specification, 'fine particles' are particles that can be filled in at least some of the micropores formed in the mouthpiece, and are used to easily refer to particles having a diameter of nano or micron units. It may also be understood that, depending on the context of the description, at least a portion of the particulate can be observed with the naked eye.

In one aspect of the present invention, the particulate biodegradant may be in the form of a capsule containing a natural product-derived extract exhibiting antibacterial and bad breath removal effects therein.

Specifically, the particulate-form biodegradant may include a composition comprising an extract of at least one selected from the group consisting of clove oil, onion, lemon, propolis, green tea and gardenia, therein, but is not limited thereto.

More specifically, 15 parts by weight of the clove oil, 20 parts by weight of onion, 10 parts by weight of lemon, 3 parts by weight of propolis, 3 parts by weight of green tea and 3 parts by weight of gardenia may be mixed, but the extract is not limited thereto.

The clove oil contains antibacterial ingredients, thereby reducing the number of bacteria that cause infections and has the effect of alleviating bad breath, and onions have antiseptic and antimicrobial compounds inside to treat oral problems that cause swollen gums known to be effective in In addition, onion sulfur compounds and antioxidants relieve pain and symptoms caused by bacterial growth in the oral cavity. Lemon soothes sore and swollen gums, antibacterial compounds soothe inflammation and create a protective barrier against odor-causing bacteria, and water brewed with propolis, green tea and gardenia is known to be effective in relieving swelling and healing gums.

In the present invention, the composition may be prepared including one or more extracts of the natural products, and specifically, the extract may be extracted with water, a C1 to C4 lower alcohol, or a mixed solvent thereof. More specifically, it may be extracted using water, but is not limited thereto.

Specifically, in the extraction process of the extract, one or more methods selected from the group consisting of cold chim, warm chim, heating, reflux and ultrasonic extraction may be used alone or in combination, and the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be appropriately changed and applied as necessary. can

In addition, after performing the extraction or fractionation process, the extract may be concentrated or the solvent may be removed by performing a filtration process under reduced pressure or further concentration and/or freeze-drying, specifically, the process of concentration under reduced pressure after extraction It is possible to obtain an extract through the process, but is not limited thereto and can be appropriately changed and applied.

As the use of the mouthpiece and time elapses, the biodegradant is decomposed to create micropores inside the mouthpiece, and the extract derived from the natural product contained in the biodegradant is released to naturally enjoy the antibacterial and bad breath removal effects. can Accordingly, it is characterized in that it is harmless to the human body by including only natural product-derived extracts while improving the problems of bacterial growth and severe odors of the conventional mouthpiece.

In addition, in FIG. 4 , the cover member 200 overlapped around the hinge 202 on one side so that the mouthpiece 100 can be included therein may be provided as one configuration.

The cover member 200 is for hygienically storing the mouthpiece 100. It can be made of silicone or a synthetic resin material that is harmless to the human body. The protrusion 204 may be positioned on the dental occlusal portion 140 to prevent movement.

The wearing of the oral protection mouthpiece of the dental anesthesia patient according to the present invention having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG. 3 .

For dental treatment, intraoral local anesthesia is used, and after treatment, the patient unconsciously bites the tongue or cheek with a tooth while the anesthesia is less relaxed.

Therefore, the mouthpiece 100 is bitten by either the left or right side of the oral cavity to the patient after the treatment is completed after anesthesia.

When the patient's mouth is closed by holding the handle 110, the upper and lower lip of the patient are located in the dental occlusal part 140, and the upper lip and lower lip are closed by the prevention plate 120. It is located in the lip occlusion part (130).

And in the state in which the teeth are fixed to the tooth occlusal part 140 dug into the groove, the tongue is blocked by the tongue protection unit 150 and cannot be directed toward the teeth. biting can be prevented.

As described above, the mouthpiece 100 bitten in the oral cavity of the patient is maintained to protect the tongue and cheeks of the patient, and when the anesthesia of the patient is completely released, the mouthpiece 100 may be removed from the patient.

The worn-out mouthpiece 100 is stored in the cover member 200 after sterilization and washing.

According to the above description, it is possible to protect the lips, tongue, and cheeks that may be bitten involuntarily in a state where the anesthesia is not completely released.

In addition, by allowing the upper and lower jaw to temporarily bite on either the left or right side of the front teeth before the anesthesia is completely released, infants and children can wear it without any burden.

In the detailed description of the present invention, although specific embodiments have been described, various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments and should be defined by the claims described below as well as the claims and equivalents.
