Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical braces for treating tooth decay, and in particular to a medical brace. Background Art

[0002] At present, the main method for treating pulpitis is indirect pulp capping and filling. This method requires covering the tooth with a mixture of zinc oxide and clove oil to complete the filling after the tooth is anti-inflammatory. At the same time, if the inflammation of the tooth is severe, root canal treatment is required to clean the pulp first and then fill it with a mixture of zinc oxide and clove oil.

[0003] However, the manual application of medicine in the indirect pulp capping and filling method in the prior art is troublesome, and the decayed teeth are easily exposed to air. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a medical mouthpiece, which has the effect of preventing caries from contacting the air and improving the speed of caries healing. At the same time, the medical mouthpiece of the present application also has the advantage of easy operation.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, a medical brace of the present application includes a brace body, wherein the brace body includes a treatment chamber and a plurality of invisible braces, and the two sides of the treatment chamber are each connected to a plurality of invisible braces;

[0006] The treatment chamber has an open top and is hollow inside, and the treatment chamber is used for filling with medicine.

[0007] In the present application, the medicinal material in the treatment chamber allows the user to treat tooth decay while wearing braces, thereby avoiding the step of manually covering the teeth with a zinc oxide-eugenol oil mixture. At the same time, since the braces reduce the chance of teeth contacting the air, the medical braces of the present application can increase the speed of healing of tooth decay.

[0008] In a preferred example, the present application can be further configured as follows: an injection hole is provided on one side of the treatment chamber facing the oral opening, and an operator injects and extracts medicine into and out of the treatment chamber through a syringe through the injection hole.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the medical staff needs to replace the medicine inside the treatment chamber, they only need to insert the needle tube of the syringe into the injection hole and extend the injection end of the needle tube into the treatment chamber; absorb the old medicine and clean the inside of the treatment chamber, and finally inject the new medicine into the treatment chamber; there is no need for the operator to remove the treatment chamber to add medicine, which simplifies the operating steps of the medical staff when replacing the medicine, improves work efficiency, and further avoids the contact between cavities and air, thereby increasing the speed of tooth decay healing.

[0010] In a preferred example, the present application may be further configured as follows: a packaging film is provided at the treatment chamber (11) facing the oral opening, and the packaging film is glued to the treatment chamber (11) facing the oral opening.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when replacing medicine, the packaging film can be torn off and then the medicine can be placed in the treatment chamber. When the medicine is placed, the packaging film can be glued again to the opening of the treatment chamber facing the oral cavity, thereby further simplifying the steps of replacing medicine.

[0012] In a preferred example, the present application can be further configured as follows: the packaging membrane is a semi-permeable membrane.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, saliva in the human mouth can penetrate into the treatment chamber 11 through the semipermeable membrane and dissolve with the medicine powder in the treatment chamber 11, so there is no need for additional injection of solvent, thereby further simplifying the steps of applying and changing medicine.

[0014] In a preferred example, the present application can be further configured as follows: a shrink sleeve made of elastic material is integrally provided on the top of the surface where the opening of the braces body is located, and the opening size of the shrink sleeve is smaller than the cross-sectional size of the tooth.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the braces body is sleeved on the tooth surface, due to the elastic properties of the shrink sleeve itself, the shrink sleeve is tightly bound to the tooth surface, so that the braces body is tightly connected to the tooth, reducing the probability of separation between the braces body and the tooth.

[0016] In a preferred example, the present application can be further configured as follows: a clamping component is provided on the inner wall of the braces body.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping component increases the actual volume inside the braces body, and further reduces the probability of the braces body being separated from the teeth through the clamping part.

[0018] In a preferred example, the present application can be further configured as follows: a chewing portion is provided on the braces body.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the chewing part makes it convenient for the operator to eat, while also reducing the wear degree of the brace body and increasing the service life of the brace body.

[0020] In a preferred example, the present application can be further configured as follows: the chewing portion includes a protrusion, and the protrusions are arranged on both sides of the outer length direction of the brace body.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the raised portion protects the surfaces on both sides of the brace body.

[0022] In a preferred example, the present application can be further configured as follows: the chewing portion includes a contact portion made of a hard material, the contact portion is located at the bottom of the brace body, and the contact portion is flush with the bottom of the remaining teeth.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the contact part cooperates with the other good teeth to crush the food.

[0024] In a preferred example, the present application can be further configured as follows: a self-tightening rope is provided on the upper half of the braces body, and the self-tightening rope is repeatedly passed through the treatment chamber.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, when the braces are put on the teeth, pulling the self-tightening rope can reduce the probability of the medicine flowing out from the gap between the teeth and the braces body.

[0026] In a preferred example, the present application can be further configured as follows: the brace body is fixed to the remaining teeth that are not matched with the brace body by a metal clip.

[0027] In a preferred example, the present application can be further configured as follows: the self-tightening rope covers the injection hole, and the self-tightening rope is not located inside the injection hole.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, when the self-tightening rope is in a natural state, the injection hole is not subjected to other external forces, and the injection hole is in a closed state under the action of the elastic force of the self-tightening rope, thereby reducing the probability of the medicine inside the braces body flowing out of the braces.

[0029] In a preferred example, the present application can be further configured as follows: the clamping component is a spherical protrusion.

[0030] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0031] 1. The medicinal material in the treatment chamber allows the user to treat tooth decay while wearing the braces, thereby avoiding the step of manually covering the teeth with the zinc oxide-clove oil mixture. At the same time, since the braces reduce the chance of teeth contacting the air, the medical braces of the present application can increase the speed of healing of tooth decay.

[0032] 2. By opening the injection hole on the brace body, medical staff can replace the medicine without removing the brace, which simplifies the operation steps of medical staff when replacing the medicine, improves work efficiency, avoids the contact of caries with air, and increases the speed of caries healing.

[0033] 3. Through the chewing part and the clamping parts, the connection between the teeth and the braces body is more stable, reducing the chance of the braces body and the teeth being separated.

[0034] 4. By arranging a self-tightening rope on the periphery of the injection hole, when the injection hole is not opened by the injection needle, the self-tightening rope keeps the injection hole in a closed state, thereby reducing the probability of the medicine flowing out from the inside of the braces body.

[0035] Other features and advantages of the present application will be described in detail in the subsequent detailed description. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0041] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0042] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "inside", "outside", etc. indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the product of the application is usually placed when in use, which is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on this application. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0043] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "disposed" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0044] See also Figure 1 In this embodiment, a medical brace is described, including a brace body 1. The brace body 1 includes a treatment chamber 11 and a plurality of invisible braces 12. In this embodiment, the number of the invisible braces 12 is two. A placement opening is provided on the side of the two invisible braces 12 away from the treatment chamber 11. The two invisible braces 12 are respectively integrated with the two sides of the treatment chamber 11. An opening is provided at the top of the brace body 1, and the interior of the brace body 1 is hollow. The interior of the treatment chamber 11 is connected to the interior of the invisible braces 12.

[0045] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top of the opening of the mouthpiece body 1 is integrally formed with a shrink sleeve 3 made of elastic material. In a natural state, the opening size of the shrink sleeve 3 is smaller than the cross-sectional size of the tooth being covered. When the mouthpiece body 1 is completely covered on the tooth, since the shrink sleeve 3 is in a deformed state at this time, the spring restoring force of the shrink sleeve 3 itself causes the inner wall of the shrink sleeve 3 to tightly wrap around the tooth surface.

[0046] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The upper half of the braces body 1 is repeatedly penetrated with self-tightening ropes 6, and the self-tightening ropes 6 are arranged along the edge direction of the braces body 1. The self-locking ropes are sewn on the braces body 1 like threads. When the self-tightening ropes 6 are not subjected to external forces, the telescopic sleeve is in a natural state. When the braces body 1 is sleeved on the teeth, the self-locking ropes are deformed by force. At this time, due to the elastic restoring force of the self-tightening ropes 6 themselves, the self-tightening ropes 6 and the telescopic sleeves are forced on the teeth together. The probability of the braces body 1 being separated from the teeth is reduced.

[0047] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to make the inside of the mouthpiece body 1 fit with the tooth itself, a clamping part 4 is provided on the inner wall of the mouthpiece body 1. The clamping part 4 can be a spherical protrusion made of elastic material. The clamping part 4 increases the actual volume inside the mouthpiece body 1, and further reduces the probability of the mouthpiece body 1 being separated from the tooth through the clamping part.

[0048] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2In order to facilitate the operator to chew food, a chewing part 5 is provided on the mouthpiece body 1. The chewing part 5 includes a protrusion 51 and a contact part 52 made of a hard material. The protrusions 51 are arranged on both sides of the outer length direction of the mouthpiece body 1. The protrusions 51 protect the two side surfaces of the mouthpiece body 1 from being worn by food. The wear degree of the mouthpiece body 1 itself is reduced. The contact part 52 is located at the bottom of the mouthpiece body 1, and the contact part 52 is flush with the bottom of the remaining teeth. The contact part 52 cooperates with the remaining good teeth to crush the food.

[0049] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to facilitate medical staff to replace the medicine inside the mouthpiece body 1, an injection hole 2 is opened on the side of the treatment chamber 11 facing the oral opening. The mouthpiece body 1 can be made of elastic self-contracting or viscous materials, such as a drip bottle cap with a needle hole that does not leak liquid. When the needle tube is separated from the mouthpiece body 1, the injection hole 2 is automatically closed.

[0050] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to further ensure that the medicine does not flow out from the inside of the brace body 1, the self-tightening rope 6 covers the injection hole 2, and the self-tightening rope 6 is not located inside the injection hole 2. When the self-tightening rope 6 is in a natural state, the injection hole 2 is not subjected to other external forces, and the injection hole 2 is in a closed state under the elastic force of the self-tightening rope 6, which reduces the probability of the medicine inside the brace body 1 flowing out of the brace.

[0051] When the dental brace body 1 needs to be installed, the medical staff uses a tool, such as a metal hook similar to a pair of scissors, to spread the left and right sides of the shrink sleeve 3 apart.

[0052] Embodiment 2

[0053] See also Figure 3 ,like Figure 3 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the mouthpiece body 1 can also be fixed to the remaining teeth that are not equipped with the mouthpiece body 1 through the metal clip 7.

[0054] The implementation principle of the above embodiment is: the operator uses a tool to open the shrink sleeve 3 so that the brace is put on the teeth.

[0055] Then the medical staff injects the medicine into the treatment chamber 11 through the injection hole 2 ; the medical staff can also extract the medicine from the treatment chamber 11 through the injection hole 2 .

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the medicine can be a combination of powdered medicine and a solvent, or a liquid medicine. Preferably, the medicine is a combination of powdered medicine and a solvent. When the medicine is a combination of powdered medicine and a solvent, the powder can be pre-loaded into the treatment chamber 11. When in use, the medical staff injects the solvent into the treatment chamber 11 through the injection hole 2, and the powder and the solvent dissolve to form the medicine. The medicine is a combination of powdered medicine and a solvent, which can facilitate the pre-selection and storage of the powdered medicine in the treatment chamber 11.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, preferably, a packaging film is provided at the opening of the treatment chamber 11 facing the oral cavity, and the packaging film is glued to the opening of the treatment chamber 11 facing the oral cavity. When powdered medicine needs to be pre-loaded inside the treatment chamber 11, the packaging film can be torn open to replenish the medicine powder when it is needed, and the packaging film is re-glued to the opening of the treatment chamber 11 facing the oral cavity after the replenishment is completed.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, it is further preferred that the packaging membrane is a semipermeable membrane, so that the saliva in the human mouth can penetrate into the treatment chamber 11 through the semipermeable membrane and dissolve with the medicine powder in the treatment chamber 11, thereby eliminating the need for additional injection of solvent, thereby further simplifying the steps of applying and changing medicine.

[0059] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.

[0060] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application may be combined with each other.

[0061] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
