preparation example Construction

[0015] The preparation method of one embodiment of the present invention:

[0016] 1. Put the thin, flat, U-shaped insert into the foam tray.

[0017] 2. Dispense the liquid curable silicone composition into the tray, fill to nearly the top edge, and completely submerge the insert.

[0018] 3. Keep it for a period of time to make it partially, non-sticky and solidify. The time depends on the curable composition selected.

[0019] 4. Place the tray (with partially cured polymer resin) on the anterior arch of the tooth.

[0020] 5. Slowly, fully and decisively bite down into the deformable still curing resin, maintaining the bite.

[0021] 6. Allow the resulting resin to cure completely. The time depends on the curable composition selected.

[0022] 7. Lift off the completed assembly, ie the tray and insert / silicone combination. This is easily accomplished by applying light pressure to the device with the tip of the index finger and along the edge of the gum line.

Embodiment 1

[0030] A U-shaped 1 mm thick polypropylene (PP) nonwoven insert was placed into the flat-bottomed groove of the U-shaped foam tray. Build the tray and insert in such a way that the lowest edge of the two open ends of the tray is flush and about 1 mm below the edge of the front wall of the foam tray. This layout is easily accomplished by placing the foam tray between the two edges of two 1 / 4 inch thick boards about 25mm apart. Make sure the insert lies flat in the groove of the tray. Dispense enough liquid silicone rubber material into the tray such that the liquid completely submerges the insert and is approximately 1mm below the front edge of the tray.

[0031] Allow the silicone to partially cure, about 15 minutes. Immediately turn the tray and contents over and carefully position it so that the teeth barely touch the silicone. Once the position is deemed satisfactory, bite straight down on the device, imprinting the lower teeth in the still curing silicone. Hold the bit...

Embodiment 2

[0035]Put the U-shaped leather insert into the flat bottom groove of the U-shaped foam tray. Build the tray and insert in such a way that the lowest edge of the two open ends of the tray is flush and about 1 mm below the edge of the front wall of the foam tray. This layout is easily accomplished by placing the foam tray between the two edges of two 1 / 4 inch thick boards about 25mm apart. Make sure the insert lies flat in the groove of the tray. Dispense enough liquid silicone rubber material into the tray such that the liquid completely submerges the insert and is approximately 1mm below the front edge of the tray.

[0036] Allow the silicone to partially cure, about 15 minutes. Immediately turn the tray and contents over and carefully position it so that the teeth barely touch the silicone. Once the position is deemed satisfactory, bite straight down on the device, imprinting the lower teeth in the still curing silicone. Hold the bite in place for 5 minutes to allow the s...

Abstract

The invention discloses a removable prosthodontic device for treating or diagnosing bruxism. The present invention also provides a method for making a removable prosthodontic device. The present invention further provides a prosthodontic device for administering pharmacologic, tooth whitening and breath freshening compounds.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to flexible oral restoration devices. More particularly, the present invention relates to prosthodontic devices for use in methods of diagnosing bruxism, and for use as guards to prevent tooth damage from nighttime tooth grinding. Background of the invention [0002] People who don't have healthy teeth and gums may chew on things that are too soft or too hard, and over time their teeth can become sensitive. They experience jaw pain, muscle tension, and headaches, along with excessive tooth wear. Bruxism is the term for this type of grinding and grinding that causes tooth wear and facial pain. People who grind and grind their teeth are called bruxists, and they grind their teeth involuntarily and violently at inappropriate times such as sleep. In addition to grinding their teeth, bruxists chew on nails, pencils, and chew on the inside of their cheeks. Bruxists are usually not diagnosed until there is obvious damage t...
