Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medical auxiliary instruments, relates to oral medical auxiliary instruments, and specifically relates to an intraoral saliva suction supporter. Background Art
[0002] The statements herein merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] The oral cavity is the starting part of the digestive tract. It is connected to the outside world through the fissure in the front and connected to the pharynx through the isthmus in the back. There are organs such as teeth and tongue in the oral cavity. The front wall of the oral cavity is the lip, the side wall is the cheek, the top is the palate, and the floor of the oral cavity is the mucosa and muscle structures. The oral cavity is divided into the oral vestibule in the anterior and lateral part and the proper oral cavity in the posterior and medial part by the upper and lower dental arches; when the upper and lower teeth are occluded, the oral vestibule and the proper oral cavity can communicate through the gap behind the third molar. In clinical practice, when the patient's teeth are tightly closed, an opener or intubation can be placed through this channel to inject drugs or nutrients, while preventing tongue bites.
[0004] In clinical oral operation, water spraying or cooling is often required, and the patient's saliva secretion usually requires the use of a saliva suction tube. Conventional saliva suction devices are head-shaped saliva suction devices, which need to be constantly moved in clinical applications and often require the cooperation of assistants. The suction force is mainly concentrated on the head. The inventors of the present disclosure have found that such conventional saliva suction devices are noisy and may accidentally suck the soft oral mucosa and cause damage. At the same time, according to the oral clinical operation experience of the inventors of the present disclosure, oral clinical operations often take a long time, sometimes up to several hours. The patient's long-term mouth opening will cause fatigue of the masticatory muscles and even cause diseases of the temporomandibular joint. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to solve the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide an efficient saliva suction device with a mouth-opening function that does not require frequent position changes.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the present disclosure is:
[0007] An intraoral saliva suction supporter is composed of a supporting component, a connecting component and a saliva suction tube.
[0008] The supporting component is a block structure, and the opposite surfaces of the block structure are configured as contact surfaces for contacting the tooth crown;
[0009] The connecting component is a component that connects the supporting component to the saliva suction tube, and the connection between the connecting component and the supporting component and the connection between the connecting component and the saliva suction tube are set at a distance, and one side of the connecting component is fixedly connected to the edge of the contact surface of the supporting component;
[0010] The saliva suction tube is a U-shaped tube, the side wall of the U-shaped tube is fixedly connected to the other side of the connecting component, the U-shaped tube is connected to the connecting tube for connecting the negative pressure generating device, the outer wall of one side of the U-shaped tube serves as a U-shaped working plane, the U-shaped working plane is parallel to the plane where the U-shaped tube is located, and a plurality of saliva suction holes are provided on the U-shaped working plane;
[0011] The U-shaped working plane and the connecting component are located on both sides of the plane where the U-shaped tube is located, and the supporting component and the U-shaped tube are located on both sides of the plane where the connecting component is located.
[0012] In the present disclosure, the support component is firstly combined with the saliva suction tube, and the patient's mouth is stretched open by the support component to avoid fatigue of the masticatory muscles. Secondly, in clinical practice, when the dentist performs intraoral operations, the patient is generally in a sitting position or with the head tilted back, and the saliva or flushing water in the mouth will eventually flow to the bottom of the mouth, that is, the bottom of the mouth located on the inside of the mandibular teeth and the outside of the tongue. Therefore, the present disclosure adopts a bionic design-providing a U-shaped tube to enable the saliva suction tube to fit with the bottom of the mouth located on the inside of the mandibular teeth and the outside of the tongue. At the same time, the connecting component provided can not only connect the saliva suction tube with the support component, but also enable the saliva suction tube to further fit with the bottom of the mouth located on the inside of the mandibular teeth and the outside of the tongue. Thirdly, a U-shaped working plane is set in the present disclosure to form a planar saliva suction, which can not only cover the entire bottom of the mouth and avoid the continuous movement of the saliva suction position, but also achieve efficient and continuous saliva suction.
[0013] The beneficial effects of the present disclosure are:
[0014] 1. The intraoral saliva suction support device disclosed herein has high saliva suction efficiency, is a porous surface saliva suction device, and can continuously suction saliva.
[0015] 2. The intra-oral saliva suction support device disclosed herein has a wide saliva suction range, and the bottom of the mouth in front of the first molars on both sides is within the effective saliva suction range.
[0016] 3. The intraoral saliva suction support device disclosed herein saves time and effort, is easy to use, does not require frequent adjustment of the position of the saliva suction device, and can effectively shorten the operation time of oral treatment.
[0017] 4. The saliva suction tube of the intraoral saliva suction support device disclosed herein is provided with a plurality of saliva suction holes to reduce the damage to the mucosa by negative pressure suction, and the connecting tube is connected to the suction device to prevent accidental suction.
[0018] 5. The intraoral saliva suction support device disclosed in the present invention has a mouth-opening function, and the patient does not need to actively maintain an open mouth state, which can effectively reduce the fatigue of the patient's facial muscles and temporomandibular joints.

[0027] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and are intended to provide further explanation of the present disclosure. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure belongs.
[0028] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present disclosure. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, it indicates the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.
[0029] A typical embodiment of the present disclosure provides an intraoral saliva suction supporter, which is composed of a support component, a connecting component and a saliva suction tube.
[0030] The supporting component is a block structure, and the opposite surfaces of the block structure are configured as contact surfaces for contacting the tooth crown;
[0031] The connecting component is a component that connects the supporting component to the saliva suction tube, and the connection between the connecting component and the supporting component and the connection between the connecting component and the saliva suction tube are set at a distance, and one side of the connecting component is fixedly connected to the edge of the contact surface of the supporting component;
[0032] The saliva suction tube is a U-shaped tube, the side wall of the U-shaped tube is fixedly connected to the other side of the connecting component, the U-shaped tube is connected to the connecting tube for connecting the negative pressure generating device, the outer wall of one side of the U-shaped tube serves as a U-shaped working plane, the U-shaped working plane is parallel to the plane where the U-shaped tube is located, and a plurality of saliva suction holes are provided on the U-shaped working plane;
[0033] The U-shaped working plane and the connecting component are located on both sides of the plane where the U-shaped tube is located, and the supporting component and the U-shaped tube are located on both sides of the plane where the connecting component is located.
[0034] In the present disclosure, the support component is firstly combined with the saliva suction tube, and the patient's mouth is stretched open by the support component to avoid fatigue of the masticatory muscles. Secondly, in clinical practice, when the dentist performs intraoral operations, the patient is generally in a sitting position or with the head tilted back, and the saliva or flushing water in the mouth will eventually flow to the bottom of the mouth, that is, the bottom of the mouth located on the inside of the mandibular teeth and the outside of the tongue. Therefore, the present disclosure adopts a bionic design-providing a U-shaped tube to enable the saliva suction tube to fit with the bottom of the mouth located on the inside of the mandibular teeth and the outside of the tongue. At the same time, the connecting component provided can not only connect the saliva suction tube with the support component, but also enable the saliva suction tube to further fit with the bottom of the mouth located on the inside of the mandibular teeth and the outside of the tongue. Thirdly, a U-shaped working plane is set in the present disclosure to form a planar saliva suction, which can not only cover the entire bottom of the mouth and avoid the continuous movement of the saliva suction position, but also achieve efficient and continuous saliva suction.
[0035] The plane where the U-shaped tube is located is the plane where the U-shaped line of the central axis of the U-shaped tube is located. The surface where the connecting component is located can be a plane or a curved surface. For example, when the connecting component is a flat plate structure, the surface where the connecting component is located is a plane, and the plane is a flat plate structure.
[0036] In one or more embodiments of this implementation, the diameter of the saliva suction hole is 1 to 1.5 mm. Setting the saliva suction hole within this diameter range causes less damage to tissues, and combined with the U-shaped working plane, it can prevent saliva from vibrating in the saliva suction hole, thereby avoiding noise generated during saliva suction.
[0037] In one or more embodiments of this embodiment, the connection between the connecting tube and the U-shaped tube is located at 1 / 4 to 1 / 3 of the total length of the U-shaped tube. If the connection is located at both ends of the U-shaped tube, it is easy to cause the negative pressure in the U-shaped tube at both ends to be unbalanced. If the connection is located in the middle of the U-shaped tube, it will affect the clinical operation of oral surgery.
[0038] In this series of embodiments, the number of saliva suction holes at both ends of the U-shaped tube is greater than the number of saliva suction holes at the middle portion of the U-shaped tube. The two ends of the U-shaped tube are in contact with more saliva, which can ensure that the two ends of the U-shaped tube absorb more saliva.
[0039] In one or more embodiments of this implementation, the connection part between the connecting component and the U-shaped tube is located within 1 / 4 to 1 / 3 of the total length of the U-shaped tube. The supporting component supports the teeth on both sides of the oral cavity, ensures the opening of the oral cavity, and facilitates the clinical operation of oral surgery.
[0040] In one or more embodiments of this implementation, the supporting component and the connecting component are provided with a channel, and the connecting tube is led out through the channel, so as to reduce the space occupied by the intraoral saliva suction supporter in the mouth, and free up a larger operating space for the clinical operation of oral surgery.
[0041] In one or more embodiments of this implementation, the angle between the two contact surfaces of the support component is 5-10°, and the projections of the two contact surfaces of the support component on the plane where the U-shaped tube is located coincide with each other, so as to ensure that the contact surface fits tightly with the teeth.
[0042] In one or more embodiments of this implementation, the contact surface of the support component is provided with an anti-slip layer, so as to ensure the stability of the support component in supporting the teeth.
[0043] In one or more embodiments of this embodiment, the support component is provided with a handle, so as to facilitate the placement of the intraoral saliva suction supporter in the patient's oral cavity.
[0044] In one or more embodiments of this embodiment, the material of the intraoral saliva suction support is silicone. Compared with plastic and other rubbers, silicone has the best safety performance. At the same time, it can better fit the intraoral saliva suction support to the patient's oral cavity, ensuring the saliva suction effect of the intraoral saliva suction support in the patient's oral cavity.
