Description

Dental ingress prevention structure and dental ingress prevention device including the same

[0001] The present invention relates to a dental ingress prevention structure and a dental ingress prevention device including the same, and more specifically, to a dental ingress prevention structure and a dental ingress prevention device including the same for preventing foreign substances from entering a patient's airway or esophagus during dental treatment.

[0002]

[0003] In most dental treatments, the patient lies on a dental chair while various instruments and materials are moved around inside the oral cavity. During this process, it is common for prosthetics or dental instruments to slip from the medical professional's hands, which may be contaminated with the patient's saliva, and fall into the mouth.

[0004] According to a related study (The survey on foreign body ingestion and aspiration during the dental prosthetic treatment, Gi-Tae Bang, Han-Sol Jeon, Seon-Ki Lee, Jae-In Lee, Jin-Han Lee*), 99.4% of the 157 dentists who responded to the question asking whether they had actually dropped foreign substances into a patient's oral cavity during the treatment process said that they had.

[0005] In addition, when asked about how to handle a foreign object dropped in a patient's mouth, the most common answer was "turning the patient's head to the side" at 67.9%. When asked whether they had experienced swallowing or aspiration during treatment, 53.5% answered "yes." When asked about preventive measures to avoid swallowing or aspiration of foreign objects, the most frequent answer was "placing gauze in the mouth when there is a risk of dropping instruments" at 81.5%.

[0006] In most cases of swallowing accidents, the object is excreted as it passes through the esophagus; however, if a sharp instrument or similar object is ingested, an endoscope is attempted to remove it, although there are rare reports of cases requiring open surgery.

[0040] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings.

[0041]

[0042] 1. Dental ingress prevention structure (100) - 1st embodiment

[0043] Hereinafter, a dental ingress prevention structure according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to (a) and (b) of FIGS. 1 and FIGS. 2.

[0044] FIG. 1 is a plan view from one direction showing a dental ingress prevention structure according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 (a), (b), (c), and (d) are cross-sectional views along the line A-A' of FIG. 1. FIG. 2 (a) shows a cross-sectional view along the line A-A' of a dental ingress prevention structure (100) according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

[0045] Referring to FIGS. 1 and FIGS. 2 (a), a dental inflow prevention structure (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a guide portion (110) and an inflow prevention portion (120).

[0046] The guide section (110) is formed to be bent into an arch shape.

[0047] In addition, the guide (110) is made of a flexible material and has a hollow tube shape.

[0048] For example, the guide (110) may be made of a material that can be easily stretched and returned to its original shape, such as rubber.

[0049] Referring to FIG. 2(a), the guide member (110) includes an insertion member (111) in which an insertion member hole (111a) is formed, and a guide variable member (113).

[0050] The insert member (111) is made of an elastic material and has an insert member hole (111a) formed inside.

[0051] Specifically, the insert member (111) is formed long in one direction and is open on both sides.

[0052] In addition, an insertion member hole (111a) that penetrates along the insertion member (111) is formed in the central part of the insertion member (111).

[0053] The guide variable member (113) is inserted into the insert member (111) and its shape changes due to an external force from the user.

[0054] For example, the guide variable member (113) may be a wire in the form of a wire, but is not limited thereto, and may be a bellows structure that is variable due to a slight external force other than a wire and maintains the variable state after being variable.

[0055] The above-mentioned guide variable member (113) is variably deformed according to the patient's oral structure and maintains the deformed state.

[0056] FIG. 2(b) illustrates a modified example of a dental inflow prevention structure (100) according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0057] Additionally, the guide member (110) may further include a contact member (112) in addition to the aforementioned insert member (111) and guide variable member (113) to provide a modified example of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 2 (b).

[0058] The contact member (112) is formed continuously along the outer surface of the insertion member (111) in an arc shape on the outer surface of the insertion member (111).

[0059] That is, the contact member (112) may have a tile shape and may be made of a resilient material like the insert member (111).

[0060] The above-mentioned adhesive member (112) is in close contact with the patient's palate, the inner surface of the patient's cheek, and the patient's tongue, thereby preventing foreign substances from entering the patient's esophagus or airway.

[0061] Referring to (a) of FIGS. 1 and 2, the inflow prevention part (120) is coupled to the inside of the guide part (110).

[0062] The above-mentioned inflow prevention part (120) prevents foreign substances from entering the patient's esophagus or trachea when inserted into the patient's mouth together with the guide part (110) and the connecting part (130), as the guide part (110) adheres to the patient's palate, the inner surface of the patient's cheek, and the patient's tongue.

[0063] In addition, the inflow prevention part (120) may be made of a flexible material like the guide part (110).

[0064] More specifically, the inflow prevention part (120) may have a flat film shape to prevent foreign substances from entering the esophagus or airway.

[0065] In addition, the outer part of the inflow prevention part (120) is formed to correspond to the guide part (110) which is bent in an arch shape.

[0066] For example, the inflow prevention part (120) may have a semi-elliptical shape, but is not limited thereto and may be made of an elliptical shape, a square shape, etc.

[0067] However, considering the oral structure of the human body, it is particularly desirable to form a semi-elliptical or elliptical shape to correspond to the oral structure in order to prevent the ingress of foreign substances.

[0068] Meanwhile, as another embodiment, the inflow prevention part (120) may be formed in a semi-elliptical shape as described above and may have a plurality of breathing holes formed in a flat thin film shape.

[0069] Specifically, the inflow prevention part (120) may have a plurality of breathing holes (not shown) perforated with a size of 0.4㎛ to 0.6㎛.

[0070] Accordingly, the inflow prevention part (120) can prevent not only foreign substances that may enter the patient's esophagus or airway, but also dust or fine dust larger than 0.4㎛ to 0.6㎛.

[0071] Generally, when receiving dental treatment, the procedure is performed with the patient's mouth open, so there is a possibility that the patient may unconsciously breathe through their mouth.

[0072] In addition, the inflow prevention part (120) according to another embodiment serves as a passage through which a patient can easily breathe through their mouth via a plurality of breathing holes.

[0073] A plurality of breathing holes formed in the inflow prevention part (120) according to the other embodiment described above may be effective during dental treatment for children or the elderly.

[0087] In addition, the inflow prevention part (120) is made of a flexible material.

[0088] Specifically, the inflow prevention part (120) has a plurality of breathing holes formed with a size of 0.4㎛ to 0.6㎛.

[0089] Since the above-described inflow prevention part (120) is substantially the same as the inflow prevention part (120) according to the first embodiment, a detailed description thereof is to be made by referring to the above.

[0090] The connecting part (130) connects the guide part (110) and the inflow prevention part (120) so as to be located between the guide part (110) and the inflow prevention part (120).

[0091] The connecting part (130) for this purpose includes a connecting member (131) and a connecting variable member (132).

[0092] The connecting member (131) is formed to correspond to the outer periphery of the inflow prevention part (120) to connect the guide part (110) and the inflow prevention part (120), and is made of an elastic material.

[0093] In addition, the connecting member (131) is formed in an arch shape, like the guide member (111).

[0094] The connecting variable member (132) is inserted into the interior of the connecting member (131).

[0095] For example, the connecting variable member (132) may be a wire in the form of a wire, such as the guide variable member (113), but is not limited thereto, and may be a bellows structure that is variable due to a slight external force other than a wire and maintains the variable state after being variable.
