Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically to a dental treatment auxiliary device with isolation and support functions. Background Technology

[0002] The saliva suction devices widely used in dental clinics today cannot effectively absorb the waste and fluids generated during treatment. These waste and fluids can cause discomfort in the patient's throat, leading to reactions such as gagging. This not only causes pain for the patient but also often interrupts the procedure due to the patient's gagging reaction, resulting in a prolonged treatment time.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN111714242B discloses an oral isolation device, including a vestibular septum and a lip expander. The vestibular septum is adapted to the human dentition, and the connecting end of the lip expander is connected to the vestibular septum. The lip expander is arched along its length and adapted to the inner side of the human lips. In use, the lip expander and the vestibular septum are positioned anteriorly and posteriorly, with the human dentition positioned behind the vestibular septum and the lip expander positioned inside the lips, in contact with the lips and buccal mucosa. This allows the lip expander to open the lips into an arch shape consistent with the lip expander. The lip expander, vestibular septum, and lower lip constitute an independent vestibular space. This invention avoids contact between the surgical area and contaminated areas, greatly reducing the chance of postoperative fluid accumulation and soft tissue infection in the surgical area.

[0004] However, the inventors have discovered that in practical applications, patients experience facial stiffness due to prolonged stretching of the lips during treatment, which reduces patient comfort. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a dental treatment auxiliary device with an isolation and receiving function. After the teeth are placed in the socket, the sealing component seals the teeth to prevent waste liquid from flowing into the patient's throat during treatment. The opening and closing component assists the patient in supporting the lips by inflating the air ring during treatment. When treatment is temporarily suspended, the lips can be relaxed by deflating the air ring, which greatly improves the patient's comfort and effectively isolates waste liquid from contact with the oral cavity.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A dental treatment auxiliary device with isolation and support function includes an outer isolation membrane and an inner isolation membrane. The inner isolation membrane has a groove adapted to the dental arch, and a sealing component is provided in the groove. The outer isolation membrane has an opening and closing component. The sealing component is used to seal the dental arch after it is located in the groove, and the opening and closing component is used to drive the outer isolation membrane to close or open.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the sealing assembly includes an airbag fixedly disposed within the groove, a connecting tube fixedly connected between the airbags, and an air tube fixedly connected to the airbag.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the opening and closing assembly includes an inflatable ring fixedly disposed within an outer insulating membrane, wherein an inflation tube is disposed on the outer insulating membrane and the inflation tube is connected to the inflatable ring via a quick-release buckle.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the inner separator is made of silicone.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the outer separator is a polyester film.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the outer insulating membrane is provided with a number of protrusions.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the inner isolation membrane is provided with vent holes.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0015] 1. This invention is equipped with an outer isolation membrane and an inner isolation membrane, which expose the teeth to the outside of the outer and inner isolation membranes, providing an independent space for treatment. The dentition is sealed by a sealing component, and the patient's oral cavity is supported by an air ring, reducing the fatigue of the patient actively opening their mouth for a long time. When treatment is temporarily suspended, the expansion of the air ring is reduced, allowing the patient to close their mouth appropriately, reducing the range of mouth opening, and avoiding the soreness and swelling caused by prolonged mouth opening.

[0016] In summary, the present invention has the advantages of good isolation effect and high comfort, and is suitable for the field of medical device technology. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a dental treatment auxiliary device with isolation and support functions includes an outer isolation membrane 1 and an inner isolation membrane 2. The inner isolation membrane 2 has a groove 3 adapted to the dentition, and a sealing component 4 is provided in the groove 3. The outer isolation membrane 1 has an opening and closing component 5. The sealing component 4 is used to seal the dentition after it is placed in the groove 3. The opening and closing component 5 is used to drive the outer isolation membrane to close or open. During treatment, the upper and lower teeth are exposed through the outer isolation membrane 1 and the inner isolation membrane 2 to facilitate treatment. Waste liquid is isolated from the oral cavity. The outer isolation membrane 1 isolates the buccal surfaces on both sides and the inner sides of the upper and lower lips. After the outer isolation membrane 1 expands, its outermost side will extend beyond the patient's lips to facilitate support of the lips and to facilitate connection to the air tube 52. The inner isolation membrane 2 depresses the tongue, so that the patient's lips are opened and form an arch shape consistent with the outer isolation membrane 1 and the inner isolation membrane 2 to facilitate treatment.

[0029] It is worth mentioning that, such as Figure 2 As shown, the sealing assembly 4 includes an airbag 41 fixedly disposed in the slot 3, a connecting tube 42 fixedly connected between the airbags 41, and an air tube 43 fixedly connected to the airbag 41. An air pump is connected to the air tube 43. When in use, medical staff place this auxiliary device into the patient's mouth, align the slot 3 with the upper and lower teeth, and then lock it onto the dental arch. The air pump delivers gas through the air tube 43 into the airbag 41, causing the airbag 41 to inflate and fit tightly against the teeth. At the same time, the airbag 41 can be adapted to different sizes of teeth. The teeth and the airbag 41 fit tightly together to seal, preventing waste liquid from flowing into the oral cavity during tooth treatment.

[0030] In addition, such as Figure 6As shown, the opening and closing assembly 5 includes an inflatable ring 51 fixedly installed inside the outer isolation membrane 1. An inflation tube 52 is provided on the outer isolation membrane 1 and is connected to the inflatable ring 51 via a quick-release buckle 53. A suction device is connected to the inflation tube 52. During use, after the teeth are aligned with the socket 3, the suction device injects air into the inflatable ring 51 through the inflation tube 52. The inflatable ring 51 inflates and expands outwards to support the patient's oral cavity and reduce inflammation. The patient experiences fatigue from prolonged mouth opening. When medical staff use a suction tube to clean up waste fluid or temporarily pause treatment, the suction device draws the air back, reducing the expansion of the air ring 51, allowing the patient to close their mouth appropriately and reducing the range of mouth opening. This avoids the soreness and swelling caused by prolonged mouth opening. In addition, the air tube 52 is quickly connected to the air ring 51 using a quick-release buckle 53. This auxiliary device is disposable, and the air tube 52 can be reused after removal, saving costs.

[0031] It needs to be emphasized that, such as Figure 2 As shown, the inner isolation membrane 2 is made of silicone material. The inner isolation membrane 2 has a certain degree of hardness, which gives this auxiliary device a certain shape and plays a supporting role.

[0032] It should be further explained that, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the outer isolation membrane 1 is made of polyester film, which reduces the overall weight of the auxiliary device. At the same time, the membrane can be stretched and closed by the air ring 51.

[0033] It is worth mentioning that, such as Figure 1 As shown, the outer isolation membrane 1 is provided with several protrusions 6. The protrusions 6 prevent the entire auxiliary device from fitting into the oral cavity and causing discomfort to the patient.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the inner isolation membrane 2 is provided with a ventilation hole 7, which is connected to the outside world, making it convenient for the patient to breathe through the mouth.

[0035] Work process

[0036] After the patient lies on the dental treatment table and opens their mouth, the medical staff places the auxiliary device into their mouth and aligns the slot 3 with the upper and lower teeth to engage it. Then, the air bladder 41 is inflated, allowing it to fit against the teeth. During treatment, the air ring 51 inflates and expands in all directions to support the patient's oral cavity and reduce fatigue from prolonged mouth opening. When the medical staff cleans up waste liquid using a saliva suction tube or temporarily pauses treatment, the air is withdrawn, reducing the expansion of the air ring 51 and allowing the patient to close their mouth appropriately, reducing the range of mouth opening and avoiding soreness and swelling caused by prolonged mouth opening.
