This invention provides a combination of
medicine and device for treating dental diseases. The method for preparing the
medicine is as follows: Boil 1 dan (approximately 50 catties) of cocklebur root and stems, 30 jin (approximately 15 catties) of wild chrysanthemum stems and leaves, and 5 jin (approximately 2.5 kg) of licorice root in a pot until thoroughly cooked. Remove the dregs, and bring the remaining liquid to a boil over
high heat, then simmer over low heat until it becomes a paste. When the paste is about 70% cooked, for the treatment of
gingivitis and
periodontitis, add 100g of
indigo naturalis, 50g of
mirabilite, 150g of
borax, 100g of
gypsum, and an appropriate amount of edible
preservative.
Set aside when fully cooked. For the treatment of
toothache, when the paste is about 70% cooked, add 50g of
asarum, 100g of
angelica dahurica, 100g of Sichuan pepper, 50g of bee
honeycomb, 50g of
rosin, 100g of
borax, 50g of
gypsum, and an appropriate amount of edible
preservative. (These herbs should be pulverized before being added.)
Set aside when fully cooked. The treatment device is a long, narrow,
isosceles trapezoid with a hollowed-out center and top base, leaving a wall thickness of 0.2-0.4 mm. The device's dimensions are: base 13 mm, sides 13 mm, and length 18 mm. It can be made of
metal or non-toxic plastic. A strip of cloth of the corresponding size is attached to the device, and the prepared ointment is applied to the cloth. When using it, the ointment-coated device is placed on the affected area, ensuring
close contact with the
lesion and maximizing the medication's effectiveness.
