DESCRIPTION

Intra-oral element for the application of energy delivery treatments in mandibular bone, gums or other tissues inside the mouth
 5
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The invention, as expressed in the present specification, refers to an intra-oral element for the application of energy delivery treatments in gums or other tissues inside the mouth. 10

More particularly, the object of the invention is focused on an accessory device whose purpose is to be used with a power generation equipment, preferably based on electromagnetic currents or pulses or radiofrequency waves although not limited thereto, whose design and configuration Structurally, they are specifically designed for intra-oral ergonomic use in order to apply physiotherapeutic treatments, of more or less deep thermal or athermic effect as appropriate, intended to improve blood circulation and / or state of the cellular tissue of jaw bones, gums or other tissues inside the mouth through molecular stimulation, serving as an instrument in the treatment or relief of oral conditions and / or auxiliary aid to promote, for example, osseointegration of implants.

FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION

The field of application of the present invention is part of the industry sector 25 dedicated to the manufacture of equipment, apparatus and devices for medical, dental or physiotherapeutic treatments, focusing particularly on those intended for intra-oral conditions.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 30

As is known, there is a wide variety of means for the therapeutic application of energy, usually in the form of heat, and may simply be superficial or deep. The most used are based on the depth of the thermal action and the
main mechanism of energy transfer, which can be properly thermal, that is to say that it produces a detectable heat effect or sensation in the treated area, or “athermal” in which the effect in the treated area is not perceived as heat.

Thus, the superficial media only produce a warming of the body surface, since its penetration is very low, because it is absorbed almost completely in the skin. For example, infrared radiation, although heat is passed to deeper tissues (by conduction or by the convective action of the circulation), its therapeutic actions are more by reflex mechanisms than by direct heating of the area.
 10
On the contrary, the deep media produce biological effects thanks to the direct heating of the tissues located in greater depth. This group includes: shortwave or radiofrequency, microwaves and ultrasound, and according to the mechanism of heat transmission, thermotherapy can be by conduction and thermal convection, and by conversion of other forms of energy in the form of heat. fifteen

In this sense, different types and models of devices for applying these heat treatments on different areas of the body are known in the market. Said devices are usually composed of a power generation equipment and one or more means of transmission and application of said energy, for example electrodes or resistors, 20 incorporated in an accessory element, which is the part that is positioned on the area or areas of the body to be treated, being connected to the apparatus by means of the corresponding cable.

Thus, in the case of radiofrequency-based treatments, they are based on the application, on the affected parts of the patient's body, of small electrical currents, on certain frequencies and powers determined with specific waveforms, through electrodes incorporated in the aforementioned accessory application elements.

On the other hand, the electrodes can be of two types:
 30
- Monopolar, where the conducted radio frequency is applied by means of two electrodes: one of fixed position return, incorporated in a passive plate that is located under the area to be treated, and another active that is located on the other side of the area to be treated , and which can be fixed position, incorporated in an active plate, or mobile, incorporated in a moving element.

- Bipolar that includes in the same element the active and passive part of the radio frequency circuit. In turn this bipolar electrode can be fixed position (bipolar plate) or mobile.

In any case, whether they are radiofrequency devices or another type of 5-energy generator for thermo-therapeutic treatments, depending on the parts of the body to which the application of the treatment is destined, the element that incorporates the electrodes, resistors or means of transmission of the energy generated by the equipment to which they are attached, has one configuration or another, since it has to adapt to the intended area to enable such application in the best possible way. 10

As a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, although different types of accessories are known for the application of these treatments, with specific designs and structures for use in different parts of the body, since, especially the contact surface , must adapt to the morphology of the area, the existence of none that is specifically applicable for intra-oral therapies is unknown, nor does it present the technical, structural and constitutive characteristics of the one proposed here, as claimed.

Thus, for example, flexible pads are known that adapt to the surface of the skin 20 in different areas of the body, such as that described in document No. U9901071, whose holder is the applicant himself, and which is referred to as a pad for the application of heat to the body by radiofrequency currents. Facial masks of specific structure for the application of facial treatments are also known, such as that described in document No. U9901344, also of the same applicant, where a facial mask for the application of radiofrequency heat is described. Likewise, more specific treatment accessories are also known, such as the intracavitary element described in document P201231383, applicable for gynecology and urology therapies, however, at least by the applicant, the existence of any intra-oral element is not known, that is, it is intended for the application of thermal or thermal energy delivery treatments in the different areas of the interior of the mouth, whose particular morphology requires a specific accessory adaptable to it.

The objective of the present invention is therefore the development of said element to cover its
lack in the market and allow the specific application of these treatments inside the patients mouth, thus allowing their use as complementary support and / or as a specific therapeutic treatment in multiple types of oral conditions and, preferably, being planned for use by dental practitioners, for example, to avoid rejections in dental implantology and favor bone osseointegration of implants, or to prepare and stimulate tissues in sessions both before and after a dental extraction or implant intervention, favoring tissue regeneration, etc.

 30
Furthermore, the shaft, at whose distal end said head is incorporated, is preferably a removable and independent part of the main body, so that it constitutes an exchangeable piece to allow its replacement in case of deterioration and to be able to couple the intra-buccal element different types and sizes of shaft and head, depending on
different needs, as well as to facilitate its cleaning, although, optionally, the use of the intra-oral element may be performed by using a disposable protective cover, to avoid the need for continuous cleaning between patient and patient and thus ensure a Better hygiene
 5
On the other hand, the shaft, regardless of whether it is removable or not, may also be optionally made of soft material, at least externally, in order to avoid damage to the patient and / or deterioration of the shaft itself by rubbing with hard parts, ensuring that any eventual contact is smooth and, with it, avoid at the same time the mandibular tension that usually causes the introduction of hard instruments in the mouth. 10

Finally, the head and the shaft are preferably arranged at an angle to facilitate the reach of the most inaccessible areas inside the mouth, as well as counting the shaft itself with a curved configuration for said purpose.
 fifteen
The described intra-oral element for the application of energy delivery treatments in mandibular bone, gums or other tissues of the interior of the mouth thus represents an innovation of structural and constitutive characteristics unknown until now for the purpose to which it is intended, reasons that together with its practical utility, provide it with sufficient grounds to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that is requested. twenty
