Dental caries monitoring, prevention and control integrated oral phototherapy device

Abstract

The invention discloses a dental caries monitoring, prevention and control integrated oral phototherapy device. The monitoring, prevention and control integrated oral phototherapy device comprises a tongue holder, a tooth holder, a saliva monitor and a phototherapy apparatus; the phototherapy apparatus is respectively connected with the tongue holder and the tooth holder, and the phototherapy apparatus is used for outputting the therapeutic light; the tongue holder is used to lift the tongue, and the saliva secreted by the sublingual gland and the submandibular gland is transported to the saliva monitor for monitoring, and the therapeutic light is introduced into the sublingual gland and the submandibular gland to perform phototherapy on the sublingual gland and the submandibular gland; the tooth holder is used to support the maxillary dental arch, and the saliva secreted by the parotid gland is transported to the saliva monitor for monitoring, and the therapeutic light is introduced into the parotid gland to perform phototherapy on the parotid gland; The saliva monitor is used to monitor salivary flow rate and the saliva pH and to analyze whether saliva is abnormal or not. The device realizes daily monitoring and physical therapy for the oral environment in real time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of stomatology instruments, in particular to an integrated dental phototherapy device for caries monitoring, prevention and control. Background technique [0002] Xerostomia syndrome is a subjective symptom of dry mouth caused by salivary gland dysfunction, mouth breathing, functional decline, systemic diseases, taking drugs, wearing dentures, head and face radiotherapy, trauma, surgical injury, and psychological factors. , the disease is closely associated with decreased salivary flow rate and decreased buffering capacity of saliva. At present, according to conservative estimates, as a common oral disease, the overall prevalence of the disease is about 20%, for women, its prevalence rises to 30%, and for the elderly, its prevalence is as high as 50%. At the same time, affected by factors such as the aggravation of aging, the increase of cancer patients, and the increase in the incidence of various metaboli...

Problems solved by technology

These prevention and control methods only consider the conventional sterilization and anti-caries, and the effect of the above prevention and control methods is not obvious because the patients with xerostomia syndrome have less saliva and the oral environment is extremely poor

At the same time, the above-mentioned prevention and control methods cannot realize real-time monitoring of the oral environment of patients with xerostomia syndrome, so such patients are extremely prone to outbreaks of violent caries due to poor oral hygiene care for a short period of time. An oral monitoring phototherapy device for patients with xerostomia syndrome and concurrent severe caries, to realize real-time daily monitoring of the oral environment, phototherapy
