Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of biomedical science and technology, and specifically discloses a multi-layer dental diaphragm made of TPU material for stress relaxation resistance and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the improvement of people's aesthetic taste, more and more patients with malocclusion are beginning to seek orthodontic treatment. For orthodontic treatment, people need to avoid affecting their normal life as much as possible without affecting their aesthetic appearance. As an auxiliary treatment, orthodontic treatment can adjust the coordination between the facial bones, teeth, and maxillofacial nerves and muscles, making it easier for patients to eat and drink; at the same time, it can also make the patient's oral and maxillofacial system more balanced and beautiful. In recent years, the social recognition of removable bracketless invisible braces has gradually increased. Invisible braces have controllable efficacy, are comfortable and beautiful to wear, and the correction force and treatment period can be controlled to a certain extent. Therefore, they are widely accepted by doctors and patients. The invisible braces market has an annual growth of 40%. However, invisible braces have certain problems: for example, the correction force is lower than that of bracket straight wire braces, and the correction effect is poor for cases such as large incisor movement. In addition, removable bracketless invisible braces usually have high stress attenuation, which may lead to a longer correction period.

[0003] To solve the stress relaxation problem, patent application number 202210798699.5 provides a process for preparing a multilayer diaphragm. This process greatly improves the relaxation performance of the diaphragm through the multilayer structure of the diaphragm, allowing the diaphragm to withstand long-term use and still maintain a high correction force. However, compared with a single-layer diaphragm, this multilayer diaphragm causes the correction force to be reduced to varying degrees. Patent application number CN 113773462 A provides a method for preparing a polyurethane diaphragm for invisible orthodontics. This patent uses in-situ polymerization technology to dope nanohydroxyapatite into the formed polyurethane elastomer, and utilizes the covalent bond density between nanohydroxyapatite and the polymer material and its own physical cross-linking effect to improve the strength and rebound rate of the material. The TPU diaphragm obtained by this method can adjust the maximum correction force, but the stress relaxation performance is still defective, and the correction force is greatly attenuated in a relatively short period of time.

[0297] The following are the test results:

[0298]

[0299] Combined with Comparative Examples 4, 5 and other embodiments, it can be considered that when the multilayer diaphragm is compounded, the performance will be neutralized to a certain extent, and the relaxation performance and bending modulus of the composite diaphragm are between the two single-layer diaphragms. Examples 1-4 show that as the content of trimethylolpropane monoallyl ether (TMPME) in the formula increases, the relaxation performance of the diaphragm becomes better. This is because the cross-linking effect of the chemical bond makes it more difficult for the molecular chain of the material to move. Combined with Comparative Example 4 and other embodiments, when the multilayer material is compounded, the bending modulus is greatly reduced, which means that the patient's wearing comfort may be better. Examples 5-11 show that the final performance of the diaphragm is almost unaffected by arbitrarily replacing diisocyanates, small molecule diols, and oligomer diols of the same molecular weight. When high molecular weight oligomers are used to replace raw materials, the relaxation performance of the diaphragm decreases, the bending modulus decreases, and the elongation at break increases. To sum up, the advantage of the composite diaphragm is that it can make up for the shortcomings of the performance of a single diaphragm. In the present invention, the outer layer material with high relaxation performance is compounded with the inner layer material with low bending modulus. The prepared composite diaphragm retains better relaxation performance, while improving the hardness of the diaphragm and improving the wearing comfort of the patient. At the same time, the outer layer material and the inner layer material produce chemical bonds through chemical reactions, rather than thermal bonding at the material level, which further improves the performance of the diaphragm.
