Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Technical field The present invention is used in dental treatment to protect the surgeon (doctor) from bacteria such as AIDS and hepatitis B emitted from the patient's oral cavity, or dust generated during tooth cutting. Regarding protectors for protection.

Prior Art During dental treatment, dust is scattered when cutting teeth in the oral cavity, but this dust is quite large.
For example, when wearing glasses, dust from the glasses adheres to the lenses, reducing treatment efficiency and further causing health management problems. Especially recently, AIDS,
Infection of hepatitis B and other diseases from patients to surgeons (doctor) has become a hot topic.

Purpose The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and is specifically designed to provide a protector that prevents tooth cutting dust, saliva, and other impurities emitted from the patient's oral cavity during dental treatment from scattering onto the operator. It was made with the purpose of providing.

Configuration Figure 1 is a configuration diagram for explaining one embodiment of the dental treatment protector according to the present invention.
1 is a protector body having at least a part of the lens; 2 is a flexible hose or an articulated arm (the flexible hose is shown in the figure); the protector body 1 is made of a transparent material such as plastic; During dental treatment, the protector main body 1 is placed near the patient's face, centering on the oral cavity, and light from a surgical light illuminating the oral cavity is projected into the oral cavity through the protector main body 1. Therefore, the operator visually observes the patient's oral cavity through the lens part of this protector, and
Dental treatment can be performed while visually observing, and impurities such as tooth cutting dust and saliva emitted from the patient's oral cavity are blocked by the protector body 1 and do not reach the operator, allowing the operator to avoid AIDS or B. It can reduce the risk of being infected with hepatitis. In this way, if a part of the protector is constituted by a lens or the like, the inside of the patient's oral cavity can be enlarged and visually observed, and the therapeutic effect can be improved. Also,
Since the protector body 1 is contaminated with flying debris and is unsanitary, it is preferable to replace the protector body for each patient.To do this, the protector body 1 should be easily detachable from the flexible hose or the multi-jointed arm 2. It is better to have a configuration that can be replaced. In addition, a flexible hose can naturally be deformed into various forms and maintain the deformed state, and a multi-jointed arm has multiple arms,
It consists of a joint that rotatably connects each arm, and its tip can be placed in any desired position and maintained at that position.

FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram for explaining another embodiment of the present invention, in which the protector main body 1
is made into a dish shape and is provided with a vacuum port 3, and a suction hose 4 is detachably attached to the vacuum port 3.
It is possible to more effectively prevent the dispersion of dirt such as tooth-cut tooth dust and saliva scattered from the patient's oral cavity, and to suction and remove it with the vacuum hose. It should be noted that such a dish-shaped protector body and the flat plate-shaped protector body in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 can be used interchangeably.

FIG. 3 is a configuration diagram for explaining still another embodiment of the present invention, and this embodiment is similar to FIGS. 1 and 2.
A single hose or arm 5 that serves as the flexible hose or multi-joint arm 2 and vacuum hose 4 of the embodiment shown in the figure is used (however, a flexible hose is shown in the figure).

Although each embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the end portion (not shown) of the flexible hose or multi-joint arm can be detachably attached to, for example, an instrument holder attached to the headrest. In this way, the length of the flexible hose or multi-joint arm can be shortened, and the shape of the flexible hose or multi-joint arm can be kept as it is for a long period of time, preventing deformation. can be eliminated.

Effects As is clear from the above explanation, the protector of the present invention protects the doctor from dirt such as tooth powder and saliva emitted from the patient's oral cavity during dental treatment, thereby preventing the doctor from becoming infected with AIDS or hepatitis B. In addition, the inside of the patient's oral cavity can be magnified and visually observed through the lens portion of the protector, thereby improving the treatment work.
