Intelligent oral function trainer

Abstract

The invention relates to an intelligent oral function trainer. The intelligent oral function trainer comprises a semi-annular upper tooth frame corresponding to human teeth in shape and a lower toothframe arranged on the lower portion of the upper tooth frame in a matching mode. The two ends of the upper tooth frame and the two ends of the lower tooth frame are hinged through resettable joint parts; an upper tooth groove is formed in the upper end of the upper tooth frame, an upper liquid storage cavity is formed in the lower end of the upper tooth frame, a plurality of micropores are evenlyformed in the bottom end face of the upper tooth groove and communicate with the upper liquid storage cavity, and liquid medicine is injected into the upper liquid storage cavity. A lower tooth grooveis formed in the lower end face of the lower tooth frame, a lower liquid storage cavity is formed in the upper end of the lower tooth frame, multiple micropores are evenly formed in the top end faceof the lower tooth groove and communicate with the lower liquid storage cavity, and liquid medicine is injected into the lower liquid storage cavity. The intelligent oral function trainer can increasethe pleasure of occlusion exercise of a patient, massage teeth and gingiva, improve alveolar blood circulation, promote rehabilitation and reduce dental caries; through release of liquid medicine inthe micropores, the phenomenon of dryness of the mouth is reduced, the swallowing frequency is increased, the function of the eustachian tube is improved, and the hearing of a patient is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of rehabilitation training equipment, in particular to an intelligent oral function trainer. Background technique [0002] The oral cavity is the only way for radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. After radiotherapy, the oral function of patients is damaged. Even with the popularization of intensity-modulated (IMRT) technology in recent years, the caries rate of patients after radiotherapy is still over 90%, hearing loss is 42%, dry mouth is 40.9%, and mouth opening is difficult for 7.2%. How to carry out effective oral function recovery exercises is a difficult problem to reduce oral function damage and improve the quality of life of patients. In the past, doctors only let patients consciously open their mouths to exercise to improve symptoms. However, patients usually cannot persist because opening their mouths in a dry state can easily cause chapped and bleeding corners of the mouth. At present, ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In the past, doctors only asked patients to consciously open their mouths to exercise to improve symptoms, but patients usually could not persist because opening their mouths in a dry state could easily lead to chapped and bleeding corners of the mouth

At present, the recovery of oral function training after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma has received little clinical attention. There is neither a systematic method for oral function recovery nor a suitable auxiliary training device.
