Tongue phototherapy device and phototherapy method

Abstract

The invention discloses a tongue phototherapy device and a phototherapy method. The device comprises a connecting rod, a tongue depressor, a first camera and a control module, wherein the connecting rod is clamped inside or outside an alveolar cavity so as to fix the phototherapy device in an oral cavity; the end part of the tongue depressor is fixed on the connecting rod; a plurality of first phototherapy areas are arranged on the bottom surface of the tongue depressor; each first phototherapy area is provided with a first light source and a corresponding mirror board; the included angle between each mirror board and a first direction is an obtuse angle; the first direction is the direction from the end center of the tongue depressor to the center of the connecting end of the tongue depressor and the connecting rod; the first camera is arranged on the inner side of the connecting rod, located below the tongue depressor and used for obtaining a first image of each mirror board; the control module is used for receiving the first image; the first phototherapy area covering diseases is determined as a treatment area according to the first image; and the first light source in the treatment area is turned on for phototherapy. The first light source in the treatment area is turned on for phototherapy, therefore, accurate recognition and treatment of tongue diseases are realized, and invalid treatment of non-disease regions is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to the technical field of photomedicine, and specifically relates to a tongue phototherapy device and a phototherapy method. Background technique [0002] Oral ulcers refer to localized defects and ulcers on the surface of the oral mucosa, and the surface will be covered with necrotic tissue. The most common oral ulcers are recurrent aphthous oral ulcers, also known as recurrent aphthous ulcers. This lesion is a benign lesion, with pain as the main symptom, self-limiting, and self-healing in about 10 days, but it will recur, and the attack cycle and frequency are related to the severity of the disease. [0003] Most of the treatment of oral ulcers in the prior art is to take oral medicines in the mouth, and in almost all drug treatment methods, people will worry about the side effects of drugs to varying degrees, so many people are willing to wait for their self-healing, but waiting Patient comfort is very poor...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Most of the treatment of oral ulcers in the prior art is to take oral medicines in the mouth, and in almost all drug treatment methods, people will worry about the side effects of the medicines in different degrees, so many people are willing to wait for their self-healing, but waiting Patient comfort is very poor during the

[0004] Some mechanical treatments use phototherapy, which can greatly reduce side effects, but among these devices: all need to use brackets installed outside the oral cavity, and the auxiliary dental equipment can be treated on the premise of keeping the patient's posture still , requires the patient to have a very fixed time and posture, which brings a lot of inconvenience
