Abstract
Description
Es ist Stand der Technik mit handgeführten Zahnbürsten, elektrischen Mundduschen, sowie elektrischen Zahnbürsten mit Netz, Batterie oder Akku-Stromversorgung oder mit Interdental-Geräten, mit denen zwischen den Zähnen Zahnreinigung durchgeführt werden kann, Zähne zu reinigen, um den zu Karies führenden Plaque zu entfernen.It is the state of the art with hand-held toothbrushes, electric oral showers, as well as electric toothbrushes with mains, battery or battery power supply or with interdental devices, with those between the teeth Teeth cleaning performed can be, teeth to clean, leading to the caries Remove plaque.
Im Hinblick auf die zunehmende Kosteneinsparung auch im Dentalbereich und allgemeine Gesundheitsvorsorge ist vorbeugende Zahnpflege ein wichtiger Faktor im Mund- und Zahnbereich, insbesondere durch die tägliche Zahnpflege zuhause.in the With regard to the increasing cost savings also in the dental field and general health care, preventive dental care is an important one Factor in the oral and dental area, in particular through daily dental care At home.
Um diese sorgfältig im Privatbereich durchführen zu können und um einer vorzeitigen Paradentose oder Paradontitis vorzubeugen, sind entsprechend geeignete mechanische Zahnpflegegeräte notwendig.Around this carefully in the private sector to be able to and to prevent premature paradentosis or periodontitis, Appropriate mechanical dental care devices are necessary.
Die dafür derzeit einsetzbaren Geräte wie Zahnbürsten, Mundduschen, elektrische Zahnbürsten oder Interdentalgeräte werden wohl in ihrer Funktion, jedoch nicht ihrer Einsetzbarkeit gerecht, weil die zur Reinigung der Zähne erforderlichen Lichtverhältnisse im Innenraum des Mundes bei üblicher Badausleuchtung nicht ausreichen. Mit den zur Verfügung stehenden Zahnpflege-Geräten können Zähne und Zahnzwischenräume ohne genügend Ausleuchtung nicht sicher und sauber gereinigt und der Reinigungserfolg kann nicht beurteilt werden. Hinzu kommt, dass bei ordnungsmäßiger Reinigung der Zähne ein Spiegel verwendet werden muss. Die Lichtverhältnisse in den privaten Bädern, wo üblicherweise die tägliche Zahnpflege durchgeführt wird, reichen nicht aus. Das gilt in ganz besonderem Maße für intensive vorbeugende Zahnreinigung, zu der bekanntlich auch die Innenseiten und Zwischenräume der Zähne gehören.The for currently usable devices like toothbrushes, Mouth showers, electric toothbrushes or interdental devices become well in their function, but not their applicability fair because the light conditions required to clean the teeth in the interior of the mouth at usual Bathroom illumination is insufficient. With the available Dental care devices can Teeth and Interdental spaces without enough Illumination not safe and clean cleaned and the cleaning success can not be judged. In addition, with proper cleaning the teeth a mirror must be used. The lighting conditions in the private bathrooms, where usually the daily Dental care performed is not enough. This is especially true for intensive Preventive teeth cleaning, to the known also the insides and spaces between Teeth belong.
Aus diesem Grunde ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung an oder in vorhandene Zahnpflegegeräte eine Lichtquelle zu integrieren, um dem Umstand fehlender Ausleuchtung des Mundraumes und der zu behandelnden Zähne an Oberfläche und Zwischenraum Abhilfe zu schaffen.Out For this reason, it is an object of the invention to or in existing Dental care equipment to integrate a light source to the circumstance of missing illumination of the oral cavity and the teeth to be treated on surface and Intermediate remedy to create.
