Buffering patch for removable denture TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a patch, in particular, a buffering patch for a removable denture. BACKGROUND

[0002] Removable dentures can be classified into two categories: partial removable dentures and full removable dentures. Among them, full removable dentures are suitable for replacing multiple or all missing teeth. TECHNICAL PROBLEM

[0003] Full removable dentures are temporarily fixed in the oral cavity by adhesive and are removed for cleaning after a certain period of use. However, during use, the biting force generated when the user bites food is transmitted to the gums through the denture, causing the gums to bear a large pressure, which can cause pain and affect the user experience. In addition, there are still small gaps between the full removable denture and the oral cavity, and food is easily left in the gaps, causing foreign body sensation and halitosis. TECHNICAL SOLUTION

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention discloses a buffering patch for a removable denture, which is adhered to the removable denture to reduce the discomfort of the gums caused by the biting force, and at the same time, the removable denture can be tightly attached to the oral cavity to avoid food residue caused by poor fit.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purposes, in one embodiment of the present invention, a buffering patch for a removable denture is applied to a removable denture. The material of the buffering patch is soft silicone, and the buffering patch includes a base material and an adhesive layer.

[0007] In another embodiment of the present invention, the removable denture is a maxillary removable denture, which has a palate portion and an inner side edge connected to the palate portion. The buffering patch has a main body portion and a wing portion connected to the main body portion. The main body portion is attached to the palate portion, and the wing portion is attached to the inner side edge.

[0008] In another embodiment of the present invention, one side of the main body portion away from the wing portion is provided with an arc-shaped edge, and one side of the wing portion away from the main body portion is provided with a straight edge.

[0009] In another embodiment of the present invention, the arc-shaped edge and the straight edge are each provided with a notched edge for connecting the arc-shaped edge and the straight edge, and the thickness of the wing portion is greater than the thickness of the main body portion.

[0010] In another embodiment of the present application, the movable denture is a lower jaw movable denture, which has a fitting groove, the shape of the buffer patch is consistent with the shape of the fitting groove, and the adhesive layer adheres to the fitting groove.

[0011] In another embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the substrate is greater than the thickness of the adhesive layer.

[0012] In another embodiment of the present application, the overall thickness of the buffer patch is between 0.1 mm and 0.6 mm.

[0013] In another embodiment of the present application, the adhesive layer has inert adhesion that can restore the original adhesion after water washing.

[0014] In another embodiment of the present application, the buffer patch further comprises a release member that can repeatedly adhere to the adhesive layer. Advantages

[0015] The present application has the following advantages:

[0016] The buffer patch of the present application uses soft silicone material, thus having good ductility, which helps the movable denture to be more closely fitted in the oral cavity, avoids food residues caused by poor fitting of the oral cavity, and causes foreign body sensation and halitosis and other problems; and reduces the discomfort of occlusal force on the gums.

[0036] For the sake of illustrating the central teachings of the present invention, the best mode is now described, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, the purpose of the following abstract is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the nature of the invention. However, the abstract is not intended to be limiting as to the scope of the invention.

[0037] Various modifications and further applications of the teachings herein disclosed can be apparent to those skilled in the art. Such modifications and further applications are intended to fall within the scope of the claims below.

[0038] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, a first embodiment of a cushion patch 100 of a removable denture according to the present invention is shown. The cushion patch 100 according to the present invention comprises a base material 10, an adhesive layer 20, and a release member 30. The cushion patch 100 is applied to a removable denture 1, which is a palatal removable denture. In addition, the cushion patch 100 is made of soft silicone, and has a thickness of 0.1 to 0.6 mm.

[0039] The base material 10 has a first surface 11 and a second surface 12 disposed opposite to the first surface 11. The first surface 11 is coated with a commercially available adhesive for dentures, so that the cushion patch 100 can be attached to the palate. The second surface 12 has a plurality of grooves 13, so that the cushion patch 100 has a good extensibility.

[0040] The adhesive layer 20 is arranged on the second surface 12 of the substrate 10 and adheres to the surface of the groove 13. The adhesive layer 20 has inert adhesion and can restore the original adhesion after water washing. As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the adhesive layer 20 can adhere to the clamping jaw part 1a of the removable denture 1 in the present application. The thickness of the substrate 10 is greater than the thickness of the adhesive layer 20. In some embodiments, the substrate 10 can not have the groove 13, and the adhesive layer 20 is directly arranged on the second surface 12 of the substrate 10.

[0041] The release sheet 30 can be repeatedly adhered to the adhesive layer 20 to temporarily protect the adhesive layer 20 from being contaminated. When the buffer patch 100 is used, the release sheet 30 can be easily torn off the adhesive layer 20.

[0042] The user can trim and cut the buffer patch 100 in FIG. 1 into the shape of the buffer patch 100 in FIG. 3 according to the size of the removable denture 1, so that the buffer patch 100 can better fit on the removable denture 1 and be worn on the upper jaw.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 4, the buffer patch 100 is adhered to the removable denture 1 and fits in the upper jaw of the oral cavity. Since the buffer patch 100 is made of soft silicone and has good ductility, it helps the removable denture 1 to be more closely fitted on the upper jaw and can buffer the biting force, thereby reducing the discomfort of the gum caused by the biting force. In addition, the buffer patch 100 is made of soft silicone and has the effects of air permeability, waterproofness, and moisture retention, so that the adhesion process of the buffer patch 100 and the upper jaw is more firm and durable.

[0044] The present application also has the feature that the adhesive layer 20 can be easily washed with water when the removable denture 1 is cleaned, so that the adhesive layer 20 restores the adhesion, and the buffer patch 100 has the feature of being reusable, thereby improving the convenience of use.

[0045] In addition, the tooth seat of the removable denture 1 cannot be closely fitted in the oral cavity due to the use time or the atrophy of the gum. At this time, the buffer patch 100 with a suitable thickness can be selected to adjust the thickness, so that the tooth seat of the removable denture 1 is more closely fitted in the oral cavity.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the second embodiment of the buffer patch 100a of the removable denture in the present application is shown. In the second embodiment, the buffer patch 100a has a main body part 14 and a wing part 15 connected to the main body part 14, and the thickness of the wing part 15 is greater than the thickness of the main body part 14. In use, the main body part 14 is arranged on the clamping jaw part 1a, and the wing part 15 is arranged on the inner side edge 1b connected to the clamping jaw part 1a.

[0047] The arc-shaped edge 141 and the flat edge 151 are each provided with a notch edge 16 for connecting the arc-shaped edge 141 and the flat edge 151. Through the notch edge 16, the buffer patch 100a can better adapt to the shape of the removable denture 1 and effectively fit thereon, and the wing portion 15 can be bent relative to the main body portion 14 to abut against the inner side edge 1b.

[0048] In the second embodiment, the wing portion 15 is designed to block foreign matter from entering the gap between the upper jaw and the removable denture 1, thereby avoiding discomfort caused by foreign matter. Since the thickness of the wing portion 15 is greater than that of the main body portion 14, the ability of the wing portion 15 to block foreign matter is improved, thereby achieving the actual effect. At the same time, the time for which the removable denture 1 fits the upper jaw is prolonged, thereby prolonging the use time.

[0049] Referring to FIG. 7, a third embodiment of the buffer patch 100b of the removable denture of the present application is shown. In the third embodiment, the removable denture 2 is a lower jaw removable denture, which has a fitting groove 2a. The shape of the buffer patch 100b is consistent with that of the fitting groove 2a, so that the buffer patch 100b is adhered to the fitting groove 2a by the adhesive layer 20.

[0050] In summary, the buffer patch 100, 100a, 100b of the present application is made of soft silicone material, which has good ductility and helps the removable denture 1, 2 to fit the upper jaw or the lower jaw more closely, thereby reducing discomfort caused by biting force on the gums.

[0051] Although the present application is described with reference to a preferred embodiment, those skilled in the art can make various modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of the claims of the present application. Any modifications or changes made without departing from the spirit of the present application are within the scope of the claims of the present application.
