Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to dentures.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, many dentures have had tooth parts made of porcelain, ivory, synthetic resin ceramics, etc., and gum parts made of rubber, plastic, etc.

(Problems with the prior art) However, the structure is that after a decayed tooth has been extracted or cut off from an interruption, a hole for connecting the denture is made in the gums or jawbone, and the denture is implanted through the hole. There were two types of dentures: one that was a structural one, and one that covered the remaining gums with the gums of a denture.

The advantage of the former is that the dentures are firmly fixed, but the trade-off is that the dentures, a foreign object, are left in the mouth for a long time.
As a result, there is a risk that the organic matter around the dentures will rot and cause a characteristic bad breath.In the latter case, the surface of the natural gums will be covered by the gums of the dentures, reducing irritation and causing the capillaries in the gums to etc. gradually decline, and alveolar pyorrhea, etc. progress further,
In addition, dentures often did not fit properly due to atrophy of the gums.

(Means and effects for solving the problem) The present invention focuses on the above-mentioned drawbacks of conventional dentures, and also uses certain types of ceramics and metal oxides that have been introduced in modern times to efficiently emit far-infrared rays. There are substances (in this specification, such substances are referred to as "substances such as ceramics that emit far-infrared rays"), and far-infrared rays have long wavelengths, so they can penetrate deep into living organisms and emit proteins, etc. that make up living organisms. As a result of considering the fact that it is known that far-infrared energy is absorbed by resonance with the molecules of the body, which has the effect of revitalizing the living body, it was found that aging of the gums in the oral cavity and thinning of the gums. This denture has been devised to prevent deterioration, etc., and to suppress bad breath caused by dentures.The denture is made entirely or partially of materials such as ceramics that emit far-infrared rays, or materials such as ceramics that emit far-infrared rays. A denture consisting of a material mixed with a substance,
By radiating far infrared rays into the oral cavity, this prevents the above-mentioned gum atrophy, alveolar pyorrhea, etc., and provides a denture that prevents bad breath caused by the denture as much as possible. It is something to do.

(Example) The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to an example shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a conceptual cross-sectional view of a denture in which the present invention can be implemented and the gums of a wearer, illustrating a denture that has both a so-called denture and a denture gum.

In other words, it is assumed that the tooth roots 3 of the wearer remain in the gums 2 surrounding the wearer's jawbone 1,
Although a hole is made in the tooth root 3 and a connecting rod 4 is used to attach the denture 5, it is of course possible to make a hole in the wearer's jawbone 1. Further, the denture 5 is exemplified as having a shape that is supported by the gums 6 of the denture.

Therefore, in the present invention, all or part of such a denture, that is, the gum portion 6 of the denture, the teeth 5 of the denture, or both are made of a material such as ceramics that emits far infrared rays, or It is made of a material mixed with materials such as ceramics that emit radiation.

That is, it is an embodiment of the present invention that when a dentist takes a mold and constructs a denture, a ceramic material configured in the shape of the denture is made and then heated in a kiln to construct a denture made of ceramics. It is.

However, with this structure, it is difficult to improve the precision of the denture, so the following structure is easier and more practical. That is, a material such as ceramics that emits far infrared rays is made into a powder or granule form and mixed with a plastic material such as plastic, and this material is used to construct the gum part of the denture, while the tooth part of the denture is made of powder or granules. Similarly to the above, it may be formed by molding a ceramic material before being made in a kiln, then making it in a kiln, and then applying this to the gum part of the plastic.

In addition, only the bone part of the tooth is made of a material such as ceramics that emits far infrared rays, and the surrounding part corresponding to the enamel part is covered with another material, or vice versa. Its configuration can be freely selected.

FIG. 2 is a bottom view of a denture in which the present invention can be implemented, and shows a connecting rod 4 similar to that described above under the gums of the denture.
This shows the state where 4' is planted,
If only the gums and the connecting rod are made of a material mixed with a substance such as ceramics that emits far infrared rays, and the teeth are made of the same material as before, only the most conspicuous teeth will be Teeth that have the same color and gloss as modern natural teeth can be used, resulting in even more natural-looking dentures.

Fig. 3 shows the state in which the present invention is applied to so-called bridge dentures, and shows a single denture 5.
This denture has a structure in which the denture is fixed to the denture gums 6 to support it, and a bridge part 7 is provided to support the denture 5 with the natural teeth on both sides. One or both of the denture 5 part and the denture gum part 6 may be made of a material mixed with a substance such as ceramics that emits far infrared rays in the same manner as described above.

(Effect of the invention) As described above, the present invention provides all or part of the denture,
It is made of a material such as ceramics that emits far infrared rays, or it is made of a material mixed with a material such as ceramics that emits far infrared rays, so anything that is kept in the mouth all the time will emit far infrared rays as it is. The materials such as ceramics that emit far-infrared rays absorb the heat in the oral cavity and radiate this energy into the oral cavity as far-infrared rays. For this reason, first, the capillaries in the gums in the oral cavity and the proteins in the muscles that make up the capillaries are activated by the far infrared rays as mentioned above, and their vital activity becomes active, resulting in the atrophy of the gums as mentioned above. This will prevent things like this from happening. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the denture from not fitting properly to the gums.

The second effect is that, as mentioned above, far-infrared rays are constantly emitted into the oral cavity from the denture of the present invention, so oxygen molecules in the oral cavity vibrate and become active due to the resonance phenomenon caused by far-infrared rays. Therefore, this is suitable for the reproduction of aerobic bacteria, which are trying to reproduce by feeding on organic matter in the oral cavity.
Such bacteria will multiply in greater numbers, thereby relatively suppressing the growth of anaerobic bacteria in the oral cavity. By the way, it is generally known that when aerobic bacteria proliferate, turbid water becomes clear, and as evidenced by the foul odor that emanates from gutters where aerobic bacteria proliferate. It is expected that the bad odor in the oral cavity will be alleviated by suppressing the growth of aversive bacteria through the growth of airborne bacteria. That is, by using the denture of the present invention, bad breath can be prevented.

The problem of bad breath is one that most people are concerned about preventing, and considering that denture users in particular often have a characteristic bad breath, it is believed that dentures can prevent bad breath. This can be said to have the effect of killing two birds with one stone for denture users.
