Background Technology

[0002] During dental treatment, foreign substances such as water, saliva, and blood continuously accumulate in the patient's oral cavity. If these substances remain in the mouth, the working field of the treatment area is obstructed, and the risk of viral or bacterial infections increases. Therefore, it is essential to remove the foreign substances generated during the dental procedure using suction during treatment.

[0003] In order to perform tasks such as suctioning or taking photographs for oral diagnosis during the dental treatment process, even if suction equipment or suction aids are utilized, skilled personnel with separate qualifications, such as dental hygienists or dental nurses' assistants, must be involved in the dental treatment process.

[0004] Currently, a significant proportion of qualified personnel, such as dental hygienists, registered in the dental industry are maintaining their qualifications without actually working. Consequently, the industry is facing a labor shortage in recruiting such personnel, and the resulting increase in labor costs for these related staff is inevitably leading to higher dental treatment costs.

[0005] Therefore, when a smart suction system (dental treatment system) is introduced through sensing technology, automation technology, etc., during dental treatment processes such as suctioning to assist or replace tasks such as performing suctioning work or taking photographs for oral diagnosis, the workload of existing dental hygienists or dental assistants can be significantly reduced, which can ultimately lead to the resolution of the labor shortage in the dental industry and the reduction of dental treatment costs, so the need for such a system is increasing.

[0025] Preferred embodiments of a dental treatment system utilizing a suction robot according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that identical components in the drawings are represented by the same reference numerals wherever possible. Unless otherwise specifically defined, all terms in this specification have the same general meaning as understood by a person skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. In the event of a conflict with the meaning of a term used in this specification, the definition used in this specification shall prevail. Throughout the specification, when a part is described as "comprising" a certain component, this means that, unless specifically stated otherwise, it does not exclude other components but may include additional components. Furthermore, terms such as "...part," "...module," etc., described in the specification refer to a unit that processes at least one function or operation, which may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software.

[0027] Referring to FIG. 1 and the like, a dental treatment system utilizing a suction robot according to one embodiment of the present invention is characterized by being formed with a structure comprising: a marker (10) mounted in the oral cavity of a patient; a suction robot (30) that senses the marker (10) to recognize the range of activity and location according to the patient's treatment area and performs dental treatment assistance tasks; and a management terminal (50) that allows an administrator to input information, set, and manage the suction robot (30). As previously explained, in existing dental treatment systems, even if suction equipment or suction aids are utilized for tasks such as performing suction work or taking photographs for oral diagnosis during the dental treatment process, skilled personnel with separate qualifications, such as dental hygienists or dental assistants, must be deployed in the dental treatment process. Consequently, there is a shortage of personnel to recruit dental hygienists or dental assistants, and various problems have arisen due to the rising labor costs of these personnel. Therefore, the present invention provides a system in which a smart suction system (dental treatment system) is introduced through sensing technology and automation technology during the dental treatment process, such as suction, to assist in or replace tasks such as performing suction work or taking photographs for oral diagnosis, thereby significantly reducing the workload of existing dental hygienists or dental assistants and ultimately leading to the resolution of the labor shortage in the dental industry and the reduction of dental treatment costs. This will be explained in detail below.

[0028] The above marker (10) is configured to be installed in the patient's oral cavity to serve as a reference for a specific location, and based on this, to accurately sense and verify the three-dimensional spatial area within the patient's oral cavity. In particular, the above marker (10) used in the present invention has a feature that allows for the recognition of not only the location where the marker itself is installed, but also the front and back, left and right, and up and down based on the marker. Therefore, during the dental treatment process, the suction robot (30) described later can clearly recognize the location and range of the corresponding treatment area based on the marker (10) simply by recognizing the presence of the above marker (10).

[0029] To this end, the marker (10) may preferably be formed in a shape having a surface facing the front (lip-side) direction of the patient's tooth and a surface facing the occlusal (masticatory) direction of the tooth while mounted in the patient's oral cavity, wherein the surface facing the front (lip-side) direction of the tooth may include a first direction module (110) for specifying the front (lip-side) direction of the tooth, and the surface facing the occlusal (masticatory) direction of the tooth may include a second direction module (120) for specifying the occlusal (masticatory) direction of the tooth. Through this structure, the sensing module (330) of the suction robot (30) described later recognizes the first direction module (110) of the marker (10) mounted on the patient's oral cavity teeth to recognize the front direction (lip side), recognizes the second direction module (120) to recognize the occlusal surface direction (mastication side), and links the directional relationship between the first direction module (110) and the second direction module (120) to accurately recognize the left / right direction of the corresponding tooth, respectively. If necessary, the first direction module (110) and the second direction module (120) may also transmit separate signal information.

[0030] Meanwhile, the above marker (10) may include a first marker (10-1) mounted on the upper teeth and a second marker (10-2) mounted on the lower teeth within the patient's oral cavity, i.e., multiple markers (10) may be utilized. By mounting and utilizing multiple markers (10) on the upper and lower teeth respectively within the oral cavity in this manner, information such as the patient's oral movement can be accurately recognized and provided based on information regarding the distance between the first marker (10-1) and the second marker (10-2).

[0031] The suction robot (30) is configured to sense the marker (10), recognize the range of activity and location according to the patient's treatment area, and perform dental treatment assistance tasks. That is, it is characterized by being able to recognize the marker (10) inside the patient's oral cavity or the handpiece used for dental treatment, and independently recognize the range of activity and location based on information regarding the input dental treatment item or area, and perform treatment assistance tasks, or to perform precise control of the suction process, optimal position setting / control, and image capturing of the patient's treatment area through the analysis of information regarding the marker (10) inside the patient's oral cavity recognized through the sensing module (330), the analysis of handpiece movement information recognized through the sensing module (330), and the analysis of chair position information of the doctor and patient for dental treatment through the sensing module (330). To this end, the suction robot (30) more specifically comprises a first suction unit (310) that suctions liquid accumulated inside the oral cavity while applying pressure to the patient's tongue, and a device that precisely suctions liquid generated in a specific area during the dental treatment process by targeting it. A second suction unit (320), a marker (10) installed in the patient's oral cavity, a sensing module (330) that identifies information such as the movement of a handpiece used in the dental treatment process and the movement of the chair positions of the doctor and the patient, an image module (340) that monitors the situation in the patient's oral cavity in real time and provides the information, an activity area recognition module (350) that recognizes the activity range and activity restriction range of the patient's treatment area by analyzing information about the treatment item or area entered through the work information input module (510) of the management terminal (50) and information about the marker (10) recognized through the sensing module (330), and a position setting module (360) that recognizes the chair positions of the doctor and the patient for dental treatment through the sensing module (330) and sets and controls the optimal position of the suction robot (30) based on information about the treatment item or area entered through the work information input module (510) of the management terminal (50).It may include an image capturing module (370) that performs image capturing work on the patient's treatment area by analyzing information about the treatment item or area entered through the work information input module (510) of the management terminal (50) and information about the marker (10) recognized through the sensing module (330); a suction control module (380) that identifies the suction area and precisely controls the suction based on information about the treatment item or area entered through the work information input module (510) of the management terminal (50) and handpiece movement information recognized through the sensing module (330); and an abnormal situation response module (390) that controls the movement of the suction robot (30) including the suction unit by predicting a dangerous situation based on movement information of the marker (10), handpiece movement information, and chair position movement information of the doctor and patient entered through the sensing module (330) during the process of performing dental treatment assistance work.

[0032] The first suction unit (310) is configured to suction liquid accumulated in the oral cavity while applying pressure to the patient's tongue. The suction robot (30) used in the present invention is characterized by being able to perform customized suction work for each purpose through a plurality of suction units. In particular, the first suction unit (310) is configured to basically perform the function of draining liquid, such as saliva, that accumulates in the mouth of a patient who keeps their oral cavity open during dental treatment by suctioning.

[0033] The second suction unit (320) is configured to precisely suction liquid generated in a specific area during the dental treatment process. While the first suction unit (310) described above is configured to discharge liquid accumulated in the patient's most basic open mouth through suction, the second suction unit (320) is configured to perform precise suction by targeting liquid generated in the area where actual dental treatment is being performed. It can perform the function of precisely discharging liquid generated during the treatment process through suction in the vicinity of the area where treatment is performed using a handpiece, that is, the area where the handpiece is working. It is not excluded that additional separate suction units may be included in addition to the second suction unit (320) if necessary.

[0034] The above-described sensing module (330) is configured to identify information such as the movement of a marker (10) installed in the patient's oral cavity, the movement of a handpiece used during dental treatment, and the movement of the chair position of the doctor and the patient. In other words, it performs the function of identifying the movement of the patient's oral cavity during dental treatment as well as the position and movement of the handpiece or chair used on-site, and providing related information. Various sensing methods may be utilized in the above-described sensing module (330), such as a method of receiving and identifying a signal transmitted from the marker (10), or a method of identifying the marker (10) or handpiece in an image to specify its position or movement.

[0035] The above-mentioned image module (340) is configured to monitor the condition inside the patient's oral cavity in real time and provide the relevant information, that is, it may include a function to monitor and capture images of the process of dental treatment being performed inside the patient's oral cavity, and to analyze and provide the relevant image information when necessary.

[0036] The above activity area recognition module (350) is configured to recognize the activity range and activity restriction range of the patient's treatment area by analyzing information regarding the treatment item or area entered through the work information input module (510) of the management terminal (50) and information regarding the marker (10) recognized through the sensing module (330). To this end, the above activity area recognition module (350) more specifically comprises a location recognition module (351) that recognizes the location of the treatment area during the current treatment process within the patient's oral cavity by analyzing information regarding the treatment item or area entered through the work information input module (510) of the management terminal (50) and information regarding the marker (10) recognized through the sensing module (330), and a location recognition module that recognizes the location of the treatment area during the current treatment process within the patient's oral cavity by analyzing information regarding the treatment item or area entered through the work information input module (510) of the management terminal (50) and information regarding the marker (10) recognized through the sensing module (330). It may include an activity range recognition module (352) that recognizes the activity range of a handpiece or suction unit related to the treatment area, and an activity limit range recognition module (353) that recognizes an activity limit range in which the handpiece or suction unit related to the treatment area during this treatment process must not move out of the patient's oral cavity by analyzing information about the treatment item or area entered through the work information input module of the management terminal (50) and information about the marker (10) recognized through the sensing module (330).

[0037] The above-mentioned location recognition module (351) is configured to recognize the location of the treatment area during the current treatment process within the patient's oral cavity by analyzing information regarding the treatment item or area entered through the work information input module (510) of the management terminal (50) and information regarding the marker (10) recognized through the sensing module (330). Basically, it analyzes which treatment is performed on which tooth based on the information regarding the treatment item or area for a specific patient entered through the work information input module (510) of the management terminal (50), and then, based on the information regarding the marker (10) recognized through the sensing module (330), it becomes possible to specify a specific location centered on the specific tooth where the actual dental treatment is performed. That is, by comparing the entered information on the tooth to be treated with the area recognized by the marker (10), it becomes possible to accurately specify the location within the oral cavity where the actual dental treatment is performed.

[0038] The above-described activity range recognition module (352) is configured to recognize the activity range of a handpiece or suction unit related to the treatment area during the current treatment process within the patient's oral cavity by analyzing information regarding a treatment item or area entered through the work information input module (510) of the management terminal (50) and information regarding a marker (10) recognized through the sensing module (330). In contrast to the above-described location recognition module (351), which accurately specifies the location within the oral cavity where the actual dental treatment is performed, the above-described activity range recognition module (352) specifies the activity range so that it is possible to determine to what extent the activity range of the related handpiece or suction unit is within the normal range for the actual treatment area during the process of performing the dental treatment process. To this end, the activity range recognition module (352) basically analyzes which tooth is treated and the general operating range information of the handpiece or suction unit performed during the treatment process based on information regarding the treatment item or area for a specific patient input through the work information input module (510) of the management terminal (50), and then determines how far the activity range of the related handpiece or suction unit is within the normal range based on the information regarding the marker (10) recognized through the sensing module (330) and the specific tooth where the actual treatment is performed.

[0039] The above activity restriction range recognition module (353) is configured to recognize an activity restriction range within the patient's oral cavity where the handpiece or suction unit related to the treatment area must not deviate from the treatment area during the current treatment process by analyzing information regarding the treatment item or area entered through the work information input module of the management terminal (50) and information regarding the marker (10) recognized through the sensing module (330). In contrast to the above-described location recognition module (351), which accurately specifies the location within the oral cavity where the actual dental treatment is performed, the above activity restriction range recognition module (353) specifies the activity restriction range so that it can distinguish whether an abnormal situation occurs if the activity range of the related handpiece or suction unit deviates to a certain extent from the treatment area during the process of performing the dental treatment. To this end, the activity restriction range recognition module (353) basically analyzes which treatment is performed on which tooth and the general operating range of the handpiece or suction unit performed during the treatment process and the information that must not be exceeded based on information regarding the treatment item or area for a specific patient entered through the work information input module (510) of the management terminal (50), and then, based on information regarding the marker (10) recognized through the sensing module (330), it is possible to determine the range to which the activity restriction range of the related handpiece or suction unit should be specified, centering on the specific tooth where the actual treatment is performed.

[0040] The above position setting module (360) is configured to recognize the positions of the doctor and patient's chairs for dental treatment through the sensing module (330) and to set and control the optimal position of the suction robot (30) based on information regarding treatment items or areas entered through the work information input module (510) of the management terminal (50). Basically, based on information regarding treatment items or areas for a specific patient entered through the work information input module (510) of the management terminal (50), it determines what treatment will be performed and analyzes the general position of the patient's chair and the position and movement information of the doctor's chair during the treatment process. Then, based on this, it sets the optimal position of the suction robot (30) between the positions and movements of the patient and doctor's chairs and also controls the position of the suction robot (30) in conjunction with the movement of the patient and doctor's chairs.

[0041] The above image capturing module (370) is configured to perform image capturing work on the patient's treatment area by analyzing information regarding treatment items or areas entered through the work information input module (510) of the management terminal (50) and information regarding markers (10) recognized through the sensing module (330). Basically, based on the information regarding treatment items or areas for a specific patient entered through the work information input module (510) of the management terminal (50), it analyzes which treatment is performed on which tooth. Then, based on the information regarding markers (10) recognized through the sensing module (330), it determines the specific location centered on the specific tooth where actual dental treatment is performed and the activity range of the relevant handpiece or suction unit for the treatment area during the process of performing the dental treatment.

[0054] The above-mentioned fourth risk prediction module (394) is configured to predict the possibility of risk due to the movement of the suction unit by analyzing information within a group in which the rate of interference between the first suction unit (310) and the second suction unit (320) is high in the grouping analysis module (383), and comparing the location information of the suction unit input through the sensing module (330) with the information of the ongoing treatment item or area in which interference occurs between the two in a specific treatment item or area. That is, among the various group types analyzed in the grouping analysis module (383), the above-mentioned fourth risk prediction module (394) particularly, based on analysis information regarding groups in which the rate of interference between the first suction unit (310) and the second suction unit (320) is high during the treatment process, and in the corresponding type of interference, particularly since the first suction unit (310) and the second suction unit (320) (the second suction unit (320) is mainly linked to the movement of the handpiece) By identifying at what location / movement interference occurs between the two (including) and which treatment item or area such movement process occurs in conjunction with, the possibility of interference, i.e., potential risk, occurring between the first suction unit (310) and the second suction unit (320) during the actual dental treatment process can be predicted and minimized accordingly. That is, the fourth risk prediction module (394) can predict potential risks that may occur due to movement between suction units during the actual treatment process in the corresponding treatment item or area based on prior analysis information regarding the movement of suction units in a specific treatment item or area during the treatment process, and can take linked measures such as changing the position of the first suction unit (310) to the second suction unit (320) in advance or generating an alarm.

That is, among the various group types analyzed in the above-mentioned grouping analysis module (383), the above-mentioned fifth risk prediction module (395) particularly analyzes, based on analysis information regarding groups in which a dangerous situation occurred during the treatment process, which factors caused the dangerous situation, that is, which factor was the main cause among factors such as the position or movement of the tool in the treatment situation in which the target treatment item or site, the target patient group, and the target handpiece are used, so that weights for the relevant factors can be reflected in the dangerous situation, thereby enabling a more accurate prediction of the risk probability. For example, in the risk probability due to changes in the patient's oral movement in the first risk prediction module (391), more weight can be given to factors based on the patient's age and gender; in the risk probability due to changes in the chair position of the doctor and patient in the second risk prediction module (392), more weight can be given to factors based on the type of treatment; and in the risk probability due to changes in the handpiece movement in the third risk prediction module (393), more weight can be given to factors based on the type of treatment, location, and the type and number of handpieces used. By giving more weight to the major factors that may cause the risk situation in each risk situation, the risk probability for each situation can be predicted and provided more accurately, allowing the risk situation to be responded to in advance (through the abnormal situation response control module (396) described later).

[0056] The above abnormal situation response control module (396) is configured to control the movement of the suction robot (30), including the suction unit, by reflecting the risk possibility information presented in the above fifth risk prediction module (395).

As previously described, the system of the present invention utilizes the suction robot (30) to enable the suction robot (30) to recognize the movement of the patient's oral marker (10) and the handpiece used for dental treatment, and to independently recognize the range of activity and location based on the input information regarding the dental treatment item or area, thereby enabling the performance of treatment assistance tasks such as suction or imaging. The system is characterized by enabling dental treatment (assistance tasks) to be performed solely with the assistance of an administrator (here, an administrator refers to a person who has mastered the education and management manuals regarding the suction robot and has completed a certain course) who performs information input and management status checks regarding the suction robot (30), thereby significantly reducing the workload of dental hygienists or dental nursing assistants. The above management terminal (50) is characterized by enabling the suction robot (30) to perform tasks smoothly solely with information input and management status checks by an administrator, rather than a dental hygienist or dental nursing assistant. It is possible to enable this. To this end, the management terminal (50) may more specifically include a work information input module (510) that provides information on treatment items or areas before performing work to the suction robot (30), and a management status check module (520) that checks the management status of the suction robot (30).
