本発明は、歯の治療時における患者の苦痛及び
意志を電気的に表示する歯科用監視装置に関す
る。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a dental monitoring device that electrically displays a patient's pain and intention during dental treatment.
（従来の技術）
歯の治療中、患者は口をきくことができない。
そのため、従来、治療時の患者の苦痛の程度や意
志は、歯科医師の経験により知るところであつ
た。即ち、歯科医師は患部の状態、治療行為の内
容、患者の表情等から苦痛の程度や意志を判断し
ていたのである。(Prior Art) A patient cannot speak during dental treatment.
Therefore, conventionally, the degree of pain and the patient's intention during treatment have been known to dentists through their experience. In other words, the dentist judged the degree of pain and intention based on the condition of the affected area, the details of the treatment, the patient's facial expressions, etc.
一方、医療用の機器として、患者の血圧や心拍
等を検出して常時患者の容態を監視するようにし
た装置も公知である。（特公昭49−5428号公報、
実公昭52−41260号公報参照）ところが、前記公

手段が設けられていないので、話しをすることの
できない状態にある患者が自分の意志を医師に伝
達することができず、特に歯科治療時のような患
者が口をきけない状態で治療を行なう機能として
使用した場合には医師が適確な判断を為すことの

療用監視装置を歯科治療用の機能として使用する
ことは好ましいものではない。 On the other hand, as a medical device, a device that constantly monitors a patient's condition by detecting the patient's blood pressure, heartbeat, etc. is also known. (Special Publication No. 49-5428,
(Refer to Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 52-41260) However, since the above-mentioned known medical devices are not equipped with a means for communicating the patient's own will, it is difficult for patients who are unable to speak to express their own will. The information cannot be communicated to the doctor, and the doctor may not be able to make an accurate judgment, especially if the function is used to perform treatment when the patient is unable to speak, such as during dental treatment. For this reason, it is not preferable to use the known medical monitoring device as a dental treatment function.
（本発明が解決しようとする問題点）
ところで、経験ある歯科医師でも、患者の苦痛
の程度や意志を十分に知ることは難しいものであ
る。例えば、患者がうなるので治療を中断してみ
ると、唾液が喉に詰まつたためであつた。このよ
うな場合、意志を伝達する手段があるとそのよう
な不具合が生じなかつたはずである。又、激しい
苦痛があつても耐えて我慢する人もいる。このよ
うな場合には客観的に苦痛を判断する手段がある
とそのような苦痛を与えることがなかつたはずで
ある。(Problems to be Solved by the Present Invention) Incidentally, even for experienced dentists, it is difficult to fully know the degree of pain and intentions of patients. For example, when we stopped treatment because a patient was grunting, it turned out to be saliva stuck in his throat. In such cases, if there had been a means of communicating one's will, such problems would not have occurred. Also, there are some people who endure severe pain and put up with it. In such cases, if there had been a means to objectively judge pain, such pain could not have been caused.
このように患者の苦痛や意志を十分に知ること
が難しいため、従来、患者にさほど苦痛がないの
に治療をしばしば中断したり、逆に激しい苦痛が
あるに拘わらず治療を続けてしまう等の問題があ
つた。 In this way, it is difficult to fully understand the patient's pain and will, so in the past, treatment has often been interrupted even when the patient is not in much pain, or conversely, treatment has been continued even though the patient is in severe pain. There was a problem.
又、前記公知の医療用機器を歯科治療用として
使用しても患者の意志を伝達する手段がないの
で、前記歯科治療上の問題を解決することができ
ないことは前述のとおりである。 Further, as described above, even if the known medical equipment is used for dental treatment, the problems in dental treatment cannot be solved because there is no means for communicating the patient's wishes.
本発明は、上記の事情に鑑みなされたものであ
る。 The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances.
即ち、本発明の目的は歯の治療による患者の苦
痛を歯科医師が客観的に知ることができると同時
に患者の意志を知ることのできる監視装置を提供
することにある。 That is, an object of the present invention is to provide a monitoring device that allows a dentist to objectively know the patient's pain due to dental treatment, and at the same time, the patient's intention.
（問題点を解決するための手段）
上記目的を達成するために、本発明は次のよう

（実施例）
以下に、本発明の一実施例を第１図及び第２図
に基づいて説明する。(Example) An example of the present invention will be described below based on FIGS. 1 and 2.
第１図を参照して、本実施例に係る歯科用の監

るものである。 Referring to FIG. 1, the dental monitoring device according to this embodiment is comprised of detection means 1A to 1D and a display device 2. Each of the detection means 1A to 1D detects changes in the patient's body during dental treatment and converts the changes into electrical signals. Display device 2
inputs signals from each detection means 1A to 1D,
Based on this, changes in the patient's body are visually displayed.
各検知手段１Ａ〜１Ｄは、それぞれ別の検知対

ら、このようにすることが好ましい。これら検知
手段１Ａ〜１Ｄは、患者の体の所定位置に取付け
られてもよいが、後述のグリツプ３に一緒に設け
られてもよい。 Each of the detection means 1A to 1D has a different detection target. 1A is a detection means for measuring blood pressure. Blood pressure can be measured simply by pinching one's fingers, so it is preferable to employ such a simple measuring means. 1B is a detection means for detecting heartbeat. Since it is possible to measure the heartbeat at the same time when measuring the blood pressure with a finger, it is preferable to measure the heartbeat at the same time as the blood pressure measurement. 1C is a detection means for measuring the electrical resistance of the skin. Since it is possible to measure the electrical resistance of the skin at the same time as the blood pressure measurement, it is preferable to do so. These sensing means 1A to 1D may be attached to predetermined positions on the patient's body, or may be provided together with the grip 3, which will be described later.
１Ｄは、握力を測定する検知手段である。この
検知手段１Ｄは、第２図に示されているように、

４の作用により電気信号に変換される。握力の大
きさにより電気信号は変化する。 1D is a detection means for measuring grip strength. This detection means 1D, as shown in FIG.
A pressure sensitive element 4 is fixed to a grip 3. The patient is holding the grip 3, and when the patient feels pain due to the treatment and grips his/her hand tightly, this is converted into an electrical signal by the action of the pressure sensitive element 4. The electrical signal changes depending on the strength of the grip.
又、この握力を測定する検知手段については、

おくものである。 Also, regarding the detection means for measuring this grip strength,
Prior to treatment, the dentist and patient should consult in advance and decide in which cases to squeeze firmly, or decide in advance the number of times to squeeze and give each number a meaning. It is something to keep.
これら検知手段１Ａ〜１Ｄは、患者の体に取付
ける作業が簡単になるように、簡単の椅子（図示
省略）の適宜位置に設けられることが望ましい。 It is desirable that these detection means 1A to 1D be provided at appropriate positions on a simple chair (not shown) so that the work of attaching them to the patient's body is easy.
尚、上記実施例においては、血圧、心拍、皮膚
の電気抵抗を検知対象として採用した。その理由
は、以下のとおりである。 In the above embodiment, blood pressure, heart rate, and electrical resistance of the skin were used as detection targets. The reason is as follows.
血圧、心拍は痛み、緊張、我慢、恐怖等によつ
て高まる傾向にある。皮膚の電気抵抗も同様に痛
み、緊張、我慢、恐怖等によつて変化する。歯科
医師は、このような血圧、心拍、皮膚の電気抵抗
の変化をみて患者の状態を客観的に把握し、治療
を中断したり、あるいはその他の手段で苦痛が除
去されるようにする。 Blood pressure and heart rate tend to increase due to pain, tension, patience, fear, etc. The electrical resistance of the skin similarly changes due to pain, tension, patience, fear, etc. Dentists objectively understand the patient's condition by observing changes in blood pressure, heart rate, and electrical resistance of the skin, and take steps to stop treatment or take other measures to relieve the patient's pain.
上記の各検知手段１Ａ〜１Ｄにより検知された
血圧、心拍、皮膚の電気抵抗及び握力の各信号は

ことができる。本発明によると、患者自身の主観
的な苦痛の意志表示ではないので、大げさな人や
忍耐強い人等患者の個人差があつても、歯科医師
の判断が客観的、且つ正確なものとなる。 The signals of blood pressure, heart rate, electrical resistance of the skin, and grip strength detected by each of the above-mentioned detection means 1A to 1D are inputted to the display device 2 via the cord 5. On the display device 2, each detection target such as blood pressure is visually displayed. The dentist can objectively know the patient's pain by looking at the display changes on the display device 2. According to the present invention, since it is not a patient's own subjective expression of pain, the dentist's judgment can be objective and accurate even if there are individual differences among patients, such as those who are exaggerated or those who are patient. .

能となる。(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, the patient's pain during dental treatment is electrically displayed, allowing the dentist to objectively display the patient's pain even when there are individual differences among patients, such as those who are exaggerated or those who are patient. It becomes possible to accurately and accurately know the patient's pain.
