Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of dental treatment aids, specifically to a periodontal brace for treating periodontitis using Uyghur medicine. Background Technology

[0002] Chronic periodontitis is a common dental disease in clinical practice. Current treatment options are based on mechanical therapy (supragingival scaling and subgingival scaling), which uses mechanical means to remove plaque and control the condition. However, experiments have shown that bacteria can re-attach and multiply on the root surface within minutes to ten minutes after periodontal scaling. If no subsequent intervention is taken, the condition is prone to relapse. Therefore, mechanical therapy has obvious limitations.

[0003] To compensate for the limitations of mechanical therapy, clinical practice often combines it with drug therapy: systemic treatment mainly involves oral antibiotics (such as nitroimidazoles, tetracyclines, penicillins, and macrolides), while local treatment relies on rinsing solutions, mouthwashes, lozenges, gels, and other formulations. However, existing local treatment drugs have significant drawbacks: firstly, most are chemically synthesized drugs, and long-term use can easily lead to dysbiosis, drug resistance, and may trigger allergic reactions; secondly, mouthwashes and other formulations have a short residence time in the oral cavity, resulting in insufficient contact between the drug and periodontal tissues, making it difficult to maintain the therapeutic effect.

[0004] Uyghur medicine, as a purely natural preparation, has the advantages of wide applicability and few side effects. If it can be used for local treatment of periodontitis, the side effects of chemical drugs can be avoided. However, among existing dental treatment aids, there is a lack of a dedicated carrier that allows Uyghur medicine to remain in the periodontal area for an extended period of time, thus preventing its therapeutic potential from being fully realized.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a periodontal brace for the treatment of periodontitis using Uyghur medicine to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a periodontal brace for treating periodontitis using Uyghur medicine.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a periodontal brace for treating periodontitis with Uyghur medicine, comprising a brace body, wherein the brace body is a customized structure conforming to the patient's oral dentition and gingival morphology, and is formed by pressing a semi-soft film; the inner side of the brace body, corresponding to the perigingival position, is provided with a continuous drug storage groove, which is integrally formed by "filling the perigingival area with plaster to form a buffer layer during impression taking", and is used to contain Uyghur medicine ointment; the base of the brace body is adjusted according to the actual oral condition of the patient, covering only the dentition and gingival area related to the treatment, ensuring wearing comfort and stability.

[0008] Furthermore, the semi-soft membrane is made of a biocompatible elastic material that is resistant to saline disinfection but not resistant to high temperatures (≥100℃), thus avoiding deformation caused by boiling water disinfection. Beneficial effects

[0009] This invention provides a periodontal brace for treating periodontitis with Uyghur medicine. The brace uses a drug reservoir to fix Uyghur medicine ointment around the gum line, extending the contact time between the medication and periodontal tissue to over 30 minutes, thus solving the problem of short-lived efficacy of mouthwashes and improving drug utilization. When used with pure natural Uyghur medicine, it avoids the bacterial imbalance, drug resistance, and allergic reactions caused by chemically synthesized drugs, resulting in fewer side effects. Customized by taking an impression from the patient's mouth, the brace conforms to the shape of the teeth and gums, ensuring stable and comfortable wear, avoiding the poor compatibility issues of universal devices. After use, it can be reused after cleaning and disinfection with saline solution, reducing treatment costs. Furthermore, the durable semi-soft membrane material can meet the needs of multiple treatments. Attached Figure Description

[0014] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0015] Please see Figure 1 This invention provides a periodontal brace for treating periodontitis using Uyghur medicine. The specific operating steps are as follows: Preliminary preparations The patient underwent basic periodontal treatment, including supragingival scaling and subgingival scaling to remove plaque and calculus. Dental impression materials (such as silicone rubber impression materials) are used to take impressions of the patient's mouth to obtain three-dimensional morphological data of the dentition and gingiva.

[0016] Braces making On the obtained oral model, medical plaster is filled around the corresponding gum line to form a buffer layer. The outline of the buffer layer is the shape of the subsequent drug storage tank 2. A semi-soft membrane (such as a medical elastic resin membrane) is heated to a softened state and placed on a dental model with a plaster cushioning layer. The membrane is then pressed using a molding machine to conform to the shape of the model. After the diaphragm cools and sets, it is removed from the model, excess edges are trimmed, the base area is determined (only the part covering the treated teeth and gums is retained), and the plaster buffer layer is removed to form the main body 1 of the dental crown with the drug reservoir 2.

[0017] Use and maintenance Take an appropriate amount of ointment made from Uyghur medicine and fill it evenly into the medicine reservoir of the braces, ensuring that the ointment completely covers the reservoir without overflowing. Instruct the patient to put the medication-filled dental crown into their mouth, ensuring it fits snugly against the teeth and gums, and wear it for 30 minutes. After wearing the braces, the patient removes them, rinses the inside of the braces with saline solution to remove any remaining medication, then soaks them in saline solution for 10 minutes to disinfect them, and finally dries them for storage until the next treatment. Precautions: Do not use boiling water or high temperature to sterilize, to avoid deformation of the main body of the braces; check the medicine reservoir before each use to ensure it is intact, and if it is damaged, it needs to be remade.

[0018] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
