Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of dental local anesthesia and bite prevention, and in particular to the application of alginate impression material in the production of bite prevention model products after dental local anesthesia. Background Art

[0002] Oral local anesthesia, abbreviated as local anesthesia, refers to the use of local anesthetic drugs to temporarily block the sensory conduction of nerve endings and fibers in a certain area of the body, so that the pain in this area disappears. There will be a feeling of swelling and numbness in the surgical area for 1 - 3 hours after injecting local anesthetic drugs in the oral cavity. Especially after mandibular anesthesia, the buccal and labial mucosa will show thickening and numbness. Adults can generally follow the precautions instructed by doctors, while young children are naturally curious and are very unfamiliar and curious about the feeling of anesthesia. They may bite their lips or pick their lips, gums, and cheeks with their hands. Since there is no sensation in the anesthetized area, they don't know even if they bite and break it before the local anesthetic wears off. However, after the anesthetic wears off, if the child bites the mucosa of the numb area and causes damage, pain or ulcers will occur, and in some cases, there will even be severe swelling of the lips, affecting eating and life. Currently, in clinical practice, in order to avoid this situation, doctors usually instruct children not to touch the anesthetized area through medical advice. However, due to children's natural curiosity and their inability to fully follow medical advice, it is impossible to avoid injury to the mucosa of the anesthetized area. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a bite prevention model product, especially suitable for children. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art. By applying alginate impression material to the production of bite prevention model products after dental local anesthesia, it can better adapt to and fill the complex shapes and details in the oral cavity, preventing patients from biting.

[0004] The present invention provides an application of alginate impression material in the production of bite prevention model products after dental local anesthesia.

[0005] According to the application of alginate impression material in the production of bite prevention model products after dental local anesthesia, the present invention also discloses the specific production method, including: Step 1: Take an appropriate amount of alginate impression material and mix it with water, and stir it until it becomes a paste. Step 2: Take an appropriate amount of the paste-like alginate impression material. Step 3: Apply the paste-like alginate impression material to the mucosal area to be protected at the anesthetized site. Step 4: Gently press and shape it to make it enter the occlusal wedge space so as to fit with the mucosal area. Step 5: Let it stand still until the alginate impression material solidifies. Step 6: Take out the model formed after solidification as the bite prevention model product after local anesthesia.

[0006] Preferably, in step 1, the alginate impression material is a general-setting alginate impression powder.

[0007] Preferably, the mixing ratio of the general-setting alginate impression powder to water is 23 grams of powder : 50 milliliters of water.

[0008] Preferably, the temperature of the water in step 1 is 23°C - 30°C.

[0009] Preferably, the standing time in step 5 is 180 seconds - 200 seconds.

[0010] Therefore, by applying the alginate impression material to the production of the post-dental local anesthesia anti-bite model product as described above, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: First, the alginate impression material used in the present invention is easily obtainable in dental oral clinics, facilitating preparation and use; Second, by preparing the anti-bite model product with the alginate impression material, the present invention can better adapt to and fill the complex shapes and details in the oral cavity. On the premise that the child can close naturally or the extraction wound can bite the cotton roll without affecting saliva swallowing, it is suitable for each patient, and single-use avoids cross-infection; Third, due to the good fluidity of the alginate impression material, the anti-bite model product prepared by the present invention with the alginate impression material can cover all mucosal areas of local anesthesia and has good conformability. It can be used immediately after taking, has a soft texture, and provides high comfort for patients when used.

[0018] In the description of the present invention, it should also be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and not to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, it should be understood that after reading the content taught by the present invention, those skilled in the art make various changes or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims of this application.

[0019] 1. Application of alginate impression material in the production of anti-bite model products after dental local anesthesia The present invention discloses the application of alginate impression material in the production of anti-bite model products after dental local anesthesia.

[0020] Dental alginate impression material includes general setting type and fast setting type. The general setting type is a yellow dust-free powder based on alginate; the fast setting type is an orange-red dust-free powder based on alginate. Composition of ALGINoplast fast set / fast setting type: diatomaceous earth, potassium / sodium chromate, calcium sulfate, liquid paraffin, potassium titanate, yttrium oxide, titanium oxide, talc, sodium metaborate, eucalyptus oil, dye; Composition of ALGINoplast regular set / general setting type: diatomaceous earth, potassium / sodium alginate, calcium sulfate, liquid paraffin, potassium fluotitanate, magnesium oxide, titanium oxide, talc, sodium metaborate, eucalyptus oil, dye.

[0021] When in use, the alginate impression material needs to be put into a sealed and closable container, and replenished after use. The container should be turned over 2 to 3 times before use to loosen the powder.

[0022] The setting times of the general setting type / fast setting type alginate impression material are shown in the following table.

[0023] Table 1

[0024] The time marked with *) in Table 1 is counted from the start of mixing. The above data are obtained under the conditions of 23°C and using water with a hardness of about 13 degrees. An increase or decrease in temperature will correspondingly shorten or prolong the time; using water with different hardnesses will also cause differences in these times (when using distilled water, the total working time and setting time can be extended by 30 seconds respectively).

[0025] 2. Fabricate the dental local anesthesia anti-bite model product The present invention also provides a specific method for fabricating the dental local anesthesia anti-bite model product based on alginate impression material. The specific fabrication method includes the following steps: Step 1: Determine the patient's anesthesia method and site, and determine the anesthesia scope; Step 2: Wear disposable medical gloves, and mix the fast-setting alginate impression powder and water in a ratio of 23 grams of powder: 50 milliliters of water, and stir until it becomes a paste; Step 3: Take an appropriate amount of the paste-like alginate impression material; Step 4: Apply the paste-like alginate impression material to the mucosal area to be protected at the anesthetized site; Step 5: Gently press and shape it to enter the occlusal wedge space so as to fit with the mucosal area; Step 6: Let it stand for 180 seconds - 200 seconds until the alginate impression material solidifies; Step 7: Take out the model formed after solidification as the dental local anesthesia anti-bite model product. Example

[0026] This example takes the local infiltration anesthesia in the lower left posterior tooth area as an example to demonstrate the application of alginate impression material in fabricating the dental local anesthesia anti-bite model product.

[0027] Patient 1, with pulp disease, underwent local infiltration of the lower left 45. The anesthetized site was the buccal and lingual soft tissues and periosteum of the lower left 45. Determine the anesthesia scope of the local infiltration anesthesia in the lower left posterior tooth area. First, wash the hands using the seven-step handwashing method and wear disposable medical gloves, and take an appropriate amount of fast-setting alginate impression powder and mix it with water in a ratio of 23 grams of powder: 50 milliliters of water, and stir it until it becomes a paste, as Figure 1 shown; Then, take an appropriate amount of the paste-like alginate impression material and place it on the mucosal area to be protected on the buccal side of the lower left, and press the alginate impression material to make it fit with the mucosal area to be protected in the patient's oral cavity, as Figures 2 - 3 shown; Next, as Figure 4 shown, let it stand for 180 seconds - 200 seconds until the alginate impression material solidifies; and take out the model formed after solidification as the dental local anesthesia anti-bite model product, as Figure 5 shown; Finally, take out the fabricated dental local anesthesia anti-bite model product intact for later use. After the dental treatment, re-insert the dental local anesthesia anti-bite model product into the patient's mouth and cover the mucosal area of the anesthetized part, so as to effectively prevent the patient, especially children, from biting the mucosa. After 1 - 2 hours when the anesthesia effect wears off, take it out and discard it.

[0028] Patient 2, with pulp disease, the anesthetized area is located at the anterior teeth. The steps for fabricating the post - local - anesthesia bite - prevention model product are the same as those for Patient 1. The fabricated post - local - anesthesia bite - prevention model product is re - inserted into the patient's mouth and covers the mucosal area of the anesthetized part, as Figure 6 shown.

[0029] Patient 3, with dental caries, the anesthetized area is located at the right posterior teeth. The steps for fabricating the post - local - anesthesia bite - prevention model product are the same as those for Patient 1. The fabricated post - local - anesthesia bite - prevention model product is re - inserted into the patient's mouth and covers the mucosal area of the anesthetized part, as Figure 7 shown.

[0030] Patient 4, with retained deciduous teeth, the anesthetized area is located at the left posterior teeth. The steps for fabricating the post - local - anesthesia bite - prevention model product are the same as those for Patient 1. The fabricated post - local - anesthesia bite - prevention model product is re - inserted into the patient's mouth and covers the mucosal area of the anesthetized part, as Figure 8 shown.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions of the present invention or make equivalent replacements, and these modifications or equivalent replacements do not enable the modified technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
