[0004] Multifunctional device

[0005] Technical field

[0006] The invention relates to a multifunctional device according to the preamble of claim 1.

[0007] State of the art

[0008] Currently, living tissue is irradiated in diagnostics and therapy using different types of waves, including radio waves, X-rays, sound waves and light waves.

[0009] In dentistry, instruments powered by sound or ultrasound are primarily used to remove tartar and calculus from tooth surfaces. This technique is also used in endodontic root canal irrigation and in home oral hygiene.

[0010] Lasers are used as a light source in cariology for gentle caries removal and enamel conditioning, serve as a precise scalpel replacement in surgery, and are used in periodontology for bacterial reduction in periodontal pockets using photodynamic therapy (PDT). Furthermore, lasers are used in dentistry for biomodulation to specifically promote soft tissue healing through light therapy.

[0011] In 2008, Tilman Fritsch integrated neurobiology into dentistry, leading to a more comprehensible explanation of the interrelationships. The result was the development of NAM-Dentistry®, which redefines the impact of the oral cavity on the body's neurobiology, anatomy, and metabolism. This expanded the existing concept of the "mouth-body connection" to a more comprehensive "mouth-brain-body connection" (MBBC), moving towards the field of oral medicine. In addition to biochemical and neurological connections, cell communication via waves is also found, linking the entire body.

[0012] Since 2014, Tilman Fritsch has also been studying neurocrest-derived sternoceles (NCSCs), which are found specifically in the tissue of the oral cavity. NCSCs are a crucial link in the MBBC (microbial bacillus). These cells communicate via waves and can also be influenced by waves.

[0013] In 2022, Tilman Fritsch was able to demonstrate the meridian system in healthy oral tissue, based on the descriptions by BongHang Kim from the 1960s, which later became known as the Primo-Vascular System (PVS). Fritsch integrated the meridian system, the PVS, and their monadological descriptions such as "Long Threadlike Structures" and "Tunneling Nanotubes," as well as further concepts by Voll, Kramer, and Gleditsch, into a comprehensive unit: the Matrix Information System (MIS). This bridged the gap between Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Western meridian theory, and modern science. This crucial convergence describes a novel communication and transport system within the body.In September 2024, Fritsch presented the discovery of the meridian system and the unification of the monadological descriptions as the Ml-System at the lADR conference in Geneva, thereby officially introducing it into basic science and making it citable. The MIS is also wave-sensitive and closely connected to the NCSCs.

[0014] Bioresonance methods can detect and measure the effects of information transmitted in the form of frequencies and frequency fields as so-called subtle wave structures. These subtle frequencies and fields (fFF) play a crucial role in intercellular communication and are specifically attributed to the Matrix Information System (MIS), which is understood as a subtle network for information transmission within the organism.

[0015] Waves serve as carriers of information and can take various forms, such as light, electromagnetic, scalar, or sound waves. Subtle frequencies and / or fields can be superimposed onto these carrier waves, thereby selectively altering the properties of the waves. This superposition influences the quality and effect of the wave at the target location and enables specific modulation that can exert its effect on the desired biological structures.

[0016] Currently, chairside measurements of activated matrix metalloproteinase-8 (aMMP-8) are the primary diagnostic and monitoring tools available in clinical practice for periodontal and peri-implant diseases. Other measurements typically require laboratory analysis, usually performed elsewhere. aMMP-8 is an enzyme directly involved in collagen degradation through its proteolytic activity, thus serving as a biomarker for tissue breakdown and inflammatory processes in periodontal tissue. Chairside tests allow for rapid and direct measurement of aMMP-8 levels in the oral cavity, directly at the dental chair. These tests are easy to perform and provide quick results, giving the treating dentist valuable information about the degree of inflammation and the activity of destructive processes in the gums or around implants.

[0017] The use of aMMP-8 measurements thus offers important support in the early detection and monitoring of periodontal and peri-implant diseases, as changes in enzyme activity often occur before clinically visible symptoms and can facilitate preventive therapy planning.

[0018] Object of the invention

[0019] The object of the present invention is to create a device that achieves a measurable improvement in cell health by means of waves.

[0020] Solution to the task

[0021] The features according to claim 1 lead to the solution of the problem. Advantageous embodiments are described in the dependent claims.

[0022] The transmission of information and fields via acoustic and optical waves to living tissue, particularly oral and periodontal tissue, and the measurement of this transmission to influence cell health in oral and periodontal structures. The focus here is not on the mechanical removal of tartar and calculus or the reduction of microbial load, but rather on the targeted introduction of waves and potentially information into tissue structures as well as into cellular (e.g., NCSCs) and subcellular units (e.g., mitochondria). This procedure is performed in conjunction with the Matrix Information System (MIS) and the Mouth-Brain-Body Connection (MBBC). Specific system components are required for the transmission and measurement of the waves:

[0023] 1. Wave generator: A system for generating the desired waves, which, depending on the application, generates light, sound, electromagnetic or scalar waves.

[0024] 2. Transmission device: A device that precisely transmits the generated waves to the target tissue, ensuring that the wave quality and intensity are optimally adjusted.

[0025] 3. Marker or carrier (optional): A specific marker or carrier that couples the waves to the tissue to increase efficiency and targeted wave delivery. This can be achieved, for example, through special mediators or amplifications, or media that support wave transmission.

[0026] 4. Measuring device for effectiveness analysis: A highly sensitive measuring instrument in the form of the measuring device serves to record and analyze the effects and effectiveness of the transmitted waves in the system in order to quantify the effect.

[0027] These systems work in an integrated manner to ensure precise transmission and measurement of the wave effect on the tissue. The system components are as follows:

[0028] 1. Wave generator

[0029] Light, electromagnetic, scalar, and sound waves are used to transmit energy, information, and subtle fields (fFF) to tissue. These wave types can be used individually or in various combinations, depending on the therapeutic or diagnostic need.

[0030] 1.1. Light wave generation

[0031] Lasers or diode lasers are used to generate light waves, covering wavelengths from ultraviolet (UV, approx. 450 nm) through the visible range (red, 620–750 nm) to the infrared range (780–1400 nm). These light sources can be applied as needed, using individual wavelengths, clusters (e.g., a combination of UV, red, and infrared), or across the entire spectrum. The light serves as the carrier wave for light energy transmission; if required, a fFF (flash frontier) can be superimposed on this wave for targeted modulation.

[0032] 1.2. Sound wave generation

[0033] Sound waves are generated by a sound generator, either electromagnetically (e.g., using electrodynamic or piezoelectric ultrasound sources) or mechanically (e.g., using electromechanical sources). To improve the transmission of sound waves to the tissue, a fluid can be used as a transmission medium, either locally or as a rinsing fluid via pump application. A superimposed fFF (functional fluid) can also be applied to the sound waves for modulation, if required. Additionally, the sound wave can have a pain-relieving effect on sensitive tissue, thus facilitating information transfer during direct tissue contact.

[0034] 1.3. Electromagnetic Waves

[0035] Electromagnetic waves are generated and selectively applied through electric fields (E-fields), magnetic fields, or scalar fields. These fields and waves, which can also arise concurrently with sound wave generation, can likewise be used as carriers for fFF (functional fluid dynamics). The superposition of a subtle frequency onto the electromagnetic and scalar wave allows for a specific adaptation of the field effect to the tissue and supports information transfer in cellular and subcellular structures.

[0036] Overall, the wave generator offers a wide range of wave types and combinations for the targeted transfer and modulation of energy and information to biological tissue. 2. The wave transmission device

[0037] This is a multifunctional device with a light wave generator (see 1.1) and the control unit for a sound wave generator (see 1.2), optionally including rinsing medium and pump, as well as the control unit for the magnetic field unit. A fiber optic cable, optionally with a cable shaft and leads for the handpiece, connects the handpiece.

[0038] A handpiece for generating the sound wave and magnetic field, with a removable attachment that transmits light, sound, and optionally rinsing medium. The end of the light guide should preferably be designed to be unaffected by the surrounding tissue and should not cause injury in the event of vibration of the attachment. The functions should be usable individually. The attachment is either single-use or sterilizable.

[0039] The multifunctional device and the handpiece contain either permanently installed or interchangeable interfaces through which the fFF (digital interface) can be loaded and / or applied as a liquid or solid carrier material. The fFF can be digital, magnetic, in the form of spheres (e.g., homeopathic spheres), or as an aqueous medium such as water or silicate water. (A5)

[0040] 3. The measuring device

[0041] Measurements are taken indirectly by measuring biological efficacy. Measurements should be taken before and after the intervention, possibly with a certain interval. The measuring device or reader can be used in the multifunctional device or separately. It is chairside. a. mitoHormesis

[0048] Biometric measurements such as HRV, ECG, EEG, bioresonance, or auditory and visual interactions can be integrated as a chairside interface or into the measuring device to expand the measurement data.

[0049] 4. Dyeing agent or activator

[0050] To stain the target area and ensure better transfer, a dye such as methylene blue or similar can be used. Signaling molecules or plant constituents such as polyphenols can be used as activators. After treatment, applying a pack or oil coating for quality assurance (e.g., oil with lipoxin) is possible.

[0062] Character description

[0063] Further advantages, features and details of the invention will become apparent from the following description of preferred embodiments and from the drawings; the single figure shows a multifunctional device according to the invention.

[0064] The figure shows a multifunctional device M.

[0065] The multifunctional device M initially consists of a central unit 1 which is mounted on a chairside stand 2.

[0066] 2. The wave transmission device

[0067] It is a multifunctional device M with a light wave generator 3, which is located inside a housing of a central unit 1.

[0068] In addition, the light wave generator 3 also serves to control a sound generator 12, possibly with flushing medium and pump, as well as the control of the magnetic field unit.

[0069] A light guide 4 runs from the central unit 1 to a slightly enlarged handpiece 5.

[0070] The handpiece 5 has a removable attachment 6 (single-use or sterilizable). The handpiece 5, together with the removable attachment 6, generates the sound wave and the magnetic field, whereby light, sound wave, and, if applicable, rinsing medium are transmitted via the removable attachment 6.

[0071] The end 7 of the optical fiber 4 should preferably be designed to be unaffected by the surrounding tissue and should not cause injury in the event of vibration of the removable attachment 6. The functions should be usable individually. The removable attachment 6 is for single use only or is sterilizable.

[0072] Both the central unit 1 and the handpiece 5 contain either a permanently installed or replaceable interface in the form of an actuating unit 8, through which the fFF (digital interface) can be loaded and / or applied as a liquid or solid carrier material. The fFF can be used digitally, as a magnetic data carrier, in the form of spheres (e.g., homeopathic spheres), or as an aqueous medium such as water or silicate water, etc. Selection, setting, and dosage are controlled via the actuating unit 8.

[0073] Furthermore, a measuring device 13 is provided. This measuring device 13 is either designed as part of the central unit 1 or can be connected separately to the central unit 1 via a measuring device interface 9. In the embodiment shown here, the measuring device 13 is designed as a separate device and is connected to the central unit 1 via the interface 9 using a data cable.

[0074] Measurements are taken indirectly by measuring biological effectiveness. Measurements should be taken before and after the intervention, possibly with a certain interval. The measuring device or reader can be used in central unit 1 or separately via the measuring device interface 9.

[0075] The following values ​​are or can be measured: a. mitoHormesis

[0076] A measurement of mitochondrial activity in saliva or blood with respect to, for example, ATP (salivary luminometry), cytochrome C (via ELISA or Western blot or mass spectrometry or immunofluorescence measurement or biosensors) or similar values ​​before and after transfer; b. Collagenase - TIMP-1 - measurements (Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases-1) in relation to collagenase 1, 8, 9 and 13.

[0077] - Collagenase measurements 1, 8, 9 and 13 before and after transfer. c. Calprotectin

[0078] The measurement of calprotectin or similar substances in saliva or blood before and after the transfer. Interleukin levels, etc.

[0079] Interleukins such as IL-1, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, IL-17, IL-23, TNF-α, TNF-β, or similar to malatonin before and after transmission. e.g., pathogen identification.

[0080] Measurement of bacteria, viruses, archaea, fungi, prions, etc. of the microbiome. Biometric measurements.

[0081] Biometric measurements such as HRV, ECG, EEG, bioresonance, or auditory and visual interactions can be integrated as a chairside interface or into the measuring device to expand the measurement data.

[0082] Additionally, the performance of measuring device 9 can be improved by using dyes or activators. A dye such as methylene blue or similar substances can be used to stain the target region to ensure better data transfer. Signaling molecules or plant constituents such as polyphenols can be used as activators.

[0083] After treatment, the application of a pack / oil coating for quality assurance (e.g., oil with lipoxin) is conceivable.

[0084] One possible approach using the multifunction device M could be as follows:

[0085] 1. Testing the subject to document the current state using the measuring device.

[0086] 2. Selection of various parameters on display 10 of the central unit 1. For example, the selection of wavelengths (e.g., infrared) of light and its intensity, as well as sound (e.g., ultrasound) and its intensity, and the magnetic field and its intensity. Optional selection of the fFF on the different generators and / or the scalar. The selection of a rinsing fluid may also be possible on display 10 of the central unit 1.

[0087] 3. Application of the mitohormetic activator in the gingival sulcus using a single-use item or, if necessary, a refill item.

[0088] 4. Selecting the appropriate attachment 6.

[0089] 5. Transfer of the selected waves to the tissue using the handpiece 5 and the attachment 6.

[0090] 6. Post-treatment and quality assurance of the treated area with fluids or dressings, e.g., lipox-containing oils (secondary claim), to further activate the NCSCs after the transfer, or to exert a mitohormetic effect via polyphenols or other substances such as melatonin ( / pinoline). (=afterWave)

[0091] 7. Post-transmission measurement as a difference from the actual state

[0092] 8. Follow-up measurement after a certain period of time for quality assurance

[0093] Barcode / QR code

[0094] The workflow should be controlled via a barcode system, whereby the respective barcode or QR code can be scanned by a scanner 11 at the central unit 1. In this way, the consumables are specifically tailored to the system and expiration dates can be automatically observed. Thus, consumption and application are centrally controlled.

[0095] The data should be usable for centralized data processing and data hosting. A kit would be conceivable in which the activator, attachment 6, after-supply kit, and 2-3 test kits would be configured as a single-use kit for the system. This would allow for better control of the overall system's usage. Furthermore, the multifunctional device M has the capability to generate sound waves in a defined form. For this purpose, the central unit 1 includes a sound wave generator 12. The generated sound waves are transmitted to the handpiece 5 via the optical fiber 1 and a transmission system not described in detail, so that the defined electromagnetically or mechanically generated sound waves are produced.

[0096] Sound waves can be transmitted to the intended tissue.
