Intra-Oral Device For Protecting Oral Tissues During Radiation Treatment
US Patent:
2013013, May 23, 2013
Filed:
Nov 24, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/684528
Inventors:
BART JOHNSON - SEATTLE WA, US
AMY WINSTON - SEATTLE WA, US
AMY WINSTON - SEATTLE WA, US
International Classification:
A61C 5/14, A61N 5/10
US Classification:
600 1, 128861, 128860, 29650
Abstract:
An intra-oral device for positioning oral tissues during medical treatment, for example, radiation treatment. The device includes upper and lower dental arch members configured to engage the maxillary and mandibular teeth or edentulous arch(es) of a patient, respectively. The upper and lower dental arch members are operatively coupled to provide a dental arch assembly. A protective element to displace or depress a patient's tongue is secured at a suitable working position with respect to the dental arch assembly. In an embodiment, provision is made for three-dimensional spatial adjustment of the protective element to a desired location, at least during initial fitting and assembly. The device is then secured to allow consistent repetition of the oral tissue positioning from treatment to treatment. The protective element may be configured to engage the tongue of a patient so that the tongue may be selectively positioned for treatment and/or diagnostic procedures.
