Description

The used dental curing light instrument of the polymerization of dental photopolymerizable compositions and this method
Technical field
The present invention relates to the method for the polymeric dental photopolymerisable compositions of a clock, it can be used for the dental caries filling treatment, the present invention also relates to the light beam luminous organ that a clock is used for light polymerisable compound filling treatment dental caries.
Background technology
In recent years, the polymerizable dentistry compositions (composite resin) that comprises polymerisable monomer, polymerization initiator and inorganic filler is improving to some extent aspect physical strength, mar proof, colour reproduction and the reproduction of tooth form, thereby not only be widely used in the tooth filling treatment of dental caries and, and be used for the application of many other directions as the corona material.Wherein expanded its market, because it is easy to use and handles and be one of popular product now with other photopolymerizable composite resin of radiation of visible light initiated polymerization.
Yet, found that the polymerizable composite resin has its problem, i.e. polymerization shrinkage.Especially, when photopolymerizable composite resin experience polyreaction, sizable shrinkage stress takes place, and causes the formation in slit between final polymeric composite resin and empty wall.Shrinkage stress may feel that with the patient pain is relevant during tooth treatment, and the slit between polymeric composite resin and empty wall often constitutes the reason of tooth filling loss and produces second dental caries.Therefore, tried hard to avoid the formation in slit, but is that all right merit.
As for the photocuring instrument, at present the popular photocuring instrument that uses comprise light source that halogen-tungsten lamp is housed, comprise be used to control light source switch with the control device that is used to be provided with the timer between the light period, the chiller of cooling fan is housed and comprises the light guide that fibre-optic bundle becomes diameter 6 to 16mm, so design the photocuring instrument so that shine the photopolymerizable composite resin of filling tooth cavity downwards with wide high-strength light.Found to make it be difficult to eliminate because the polyreaction of photopolymerizable composite resin is shunk slit and the splintering problem that produces with above-mentioned Photocureable instrument device polymerization light polymerizable composite resin.
As an example, when using the luminous ray of launching from the photocuring instrument to be radiated at the photopolymerizable composite resin of filling the cylindrical tooth cavity from the top, the top of photopolymerizable composite resin will be cured so that on inner sealing tooth cavity surface in initial several seconds owing to polyreaction.Along with proceeding of irradiation, the polyreaction of photopolymerizable composite resin continues to be deep in the tooth cavity.Yet, find inevitably to shrink to form the slit and break because of polyreaction.The light intensity of shining is high more, and photopolymerization reaction is fast more.Thereby photopolymerization reaction is fast more, and the contraction of photopolymerizable composite resin is fast more, therefore, the formation in slit and break just easy more.
Also use the method that is radiated at the photopolymerizable composite resin of filling in the tooth cavity from the tooth cavity top, can not determine that concerning the dentist whether the photopolymerizable composite resin in tooth cavity is solidified by complete polymerization, also often occurs in the photopolymerizable composite resin bottom polymerization not yet in the tooth cavity.In case this takes place, just there is the monomer composition in the polymeric composite resin not to be penetrated into intrapulpal danger with high concentration.
In view of the above problems, the clear 64-15037 of disclosed Japanese publication communique disclosed a kind of local light polymerization of compensate for shrinkage in 1989.According to this communique, prepare two kinds of photopolymerizable composite resins to different light wave sensitivities.First kind of photopolymerizable composite resin imposed on the wall of tooth cavity, then carry out filling with second kind of photopolymerizable composite resin.After this, second kind of photopolymerizable composite resin of irradiation polymerization, and then first kind of photopolymerizable composite resin of photopolymerization.Be described in disclosed method in this patent gazette can effectively reduce the contraction that in tooth cavity, produces owing to polyreaction to tooth bring any may disadvantageous effect.
Obviously disclosed method has following two kinds of characteristics in the above-mentioned patent gazette of mentioning: in the first step; if before the curing corresponding to the material of protection hole wall and the first photopolymerizable composite resin that uses with relative little quantity; at first make the polymeric words of the second photopolymerizable composite resin as main filler; can make the mobile and distortion of the first photopolymerizable composite resin compensate the polyreaction contraction that in the second photopolymerizable composite resin, takes place, finish the contraction of the second photopolymerizable composite resin and do not influence tooth unfriendly with activation.
In second step, both made with post polymerization and used the compound tree of first photopolymerizable with relative a small amount of, but as long as use it on a small quantity, because the adverse effect to tooth that the contraction of the first photopolymerizable composite resin brings can be reduced to minimum degree.
Yet above mentioned patent gazette not only be can not determine special material and the compositions that is used for this purpose, and therein disclosed method determine real complicated, thereby therein openly the technique effect of method be controversial.Especially; consider that polymerizable dentistry composite resin is pulp-like or pasty state; even and the hole wall is owing to the first photopolymerizable composite resin is protected; but attempting with the second photopolymerizable composite resin filling little hole as cavity is to be difficult to very much finish and not only the first photopolymerizable composite resin flows or distortion, and the part edge in hole can be covered by the second photopolymerizable composite resin more or less.In other words, when at first solidifying the second photopolymerizable composite resin by polyreaction, described composite resin will be on the tooth cavity opening part covering of formation, make it be difficult in tooth cavity, avoid developing the polymer shrinkage stress.
In addition, the first and second photopolymerizable composite resins are known as with the corresponding light irradiation initiation of different wave length and carry out polyreaction.Yet Photoepolymerizationinitiater initiater is generally insensitive to the light of selecting some single wavelengths, but the wavelength sensitive of contrast broad.Further in the photocuring instrument that uses Halogen light, the light of therefrom launching has the wavelength in broadband.Thereby, when the photopolymerization second photopolymerization composite resin, be difficult to guarantee to prevent that the first photopolymerization composite resin from causing its polyreaction that therefore the inevitable second photopolymerizable composite resin finally forms covering above the tooth cavity opening.
Owing to reason discussed above, the disclosed suggestion of the patent gazette of mentioning in the above obviously has many an open questions still.
On the other hand, inventors of the present invention have carried out a series of experiments, wherein utilize and disperse rod (LUCIWEDGE, can buy from Howe Neos Dental Inc.) the light source end that makes laser beam pass it is incorporated in the light dispersion rod, simultaneously the free end at the light dispersion rod of light source end opposite is inserted in the composite resin.As a result, inventors have found when the fundamental quantity laser beam of so introducing outside when illuminated from the periphery surface of whole rod, and irradiated laser beam intensity is higher than in the place near the light source end away from terminal any other place of light source.As for the degree by laser beam polymeric composite resin, inventors have be sure of that also the head of composite resin is fully solidified, and are cured hardly at the free-ended a part of composite resin of contiguous this rod.
Even the rod that will be made by transparent plastic in the replacement light dispersion rod that is undertaken by present inventors or pipe are inserted in the experiment in the composite resin, obtain being similar to The above results, promptly a part of composite resin major part of contiguous this rod light source end is aggregated, but the free-ended a part of composite resin of contiguous this rod seldom is cured.In the fact, formerly in the light guide of Miao Shuing, from the laser beam of contiguous light source end portion rod scattering fundamental quantity and little from the laser beam quantity of the free end scattering of rod from the gained result.
Therefore, adopt laser beam to be incorporated into the interior conventional techniques of composite resin, have a trend only contiguous tooth cavity opening and thereby, a part of composite resin of contiguous light source at first is cured, and the remainder of contiguous tooth cavity bottom composite resin can not fully be cured, and therefore, still unresolved between polymerization period in the wall of hole the relevant problem of the development of shrinkage stress.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, the invention is intended to provide a kind of method, promptly cause in the tooth hole or the composite resin of filling in the dentistry mould carries out polyreaction from filling composite resin bottom, basically eliminate the relevant problem of composite resin polymerization shrinkage stress development in the tooth cavity thus, and a kind of photocuring instrument of implementing said method is provided.
Another free-revving engine of the present invention just provides a kind of method and a kind of photocuring instrument, wherein the dental curing light instrument tip is so can handle arbitrarily, so that prevent that the dentist is subjected to the influence of patient's body fluid such as blood and saliva and prevent that also the patient is subjected to the influence of body fluid when reusing this instrument.
Basically eliminate the variety of issue that runs into so far when carrying out broad research by inventors of the present invention, found when laser beam enters into photopolymerizable dental composition (composite resin), light is tending towards being included in filler in the photopolymerizable composite resin and is scattered to a large extent and scatters with spherical form in the photopolymerizable composite resin, promptly not only extends with incident direction but also to extend with the incident direction rightabout.Found that also dentine has the feature of scattering and the as many incident illumination of photopolymerizable composite resin, a large amount of incident illumination at the bottom of the hole reflects towards the photopolymerizable composite resin.The present invention is based on these discoveries.
The invention provides a kind of usefulness comprise emission laser beam light source with the optically coupled light guide that has extended of light source and have photocuring instrument polymerization light polymerizable dentistry method for compositions with the relative photocell of light source.At least photocell.According to this method, filling photopolymerizable dental composition in the tooth mould or in the hole will be incorporated into position near the bottom, hole by fibre-optic photocell subsequently in the photopolymerizable dental composition by optical fibers preparation.Then, be 350 to 500nm laser beam irradiation photopolymerizable dental compositions from the photocell distal portion with 10 to 100mW emission wavelengths, make the photopolymerizable dental composition gradually from hole bottom to its surface portion initiated polymerization.
Photocell by the optical fibers preparation can cut so that stay fibre-optic far-end in the solidified photopolymerizable dental composition in the hole at the position near solidified photopolymerizable dental composition surface.Has the fibre-optic method that the photopolymerizable dental composition is not had the affinity surface with the another kind use, be aggregated at the photopolymerizable dental composition and can from solidified photopolymerizable dental composition, remove optical fibers after solidifying, availablely subsequently stay the cavity of solidifying the photopolymerizable dental composition from the filling of the solidified photopolymerizable dental composition of top irradiation by removing optical fibers then.
The present invention also provides a kind of dental curing light instrument, produce the light source of 350 to 500nm wave length laser beams when it is included in 10 to 100mW (milliwatts), and have with the immediate end of coupling on the light source optics and also have in certain end far away photocell elongation light guide.At least described photocell be optical fibers and by equipped introduce be filled in the dentistry mould or the photopolymerizable dental composition in the hole in the tooth so that near hole bottom position place irradiates light polymerizable dentistry compositions.
Photocell can be the whole parts of light guide, that is, the far-end of light guide perhaps can be separation member therefrom.At photocell is under the situation of isolating member from light guide, and dental photocuring instrument can further comprise the dismountable optical coupling mechanism that is inserted between photocell and the light guide far-end and take off idol so that allow photocell to select to be coupled on the light guide and with light guide.
At photocell is to form under the situation of optical fibers far-end of light guide, and the photocuring instrument also can be included in the far-end that is used to cut and nearby cutting mechanism is installed so that isolate far-end from fibre-optic remainder.
Described photocell has and can have photopolymerizable dental composition affinity or the surface that do not have affinity.
The photocuring instrument also can comprise and prevents the anti-pollution outer housing of light guide by humoral pollution.
In implementing the inventive method, the dentist since remove the left hole that in tooth, forms, dental caries infected zone of tooth after, must put on bonding agent (commercially available) on the photopolymerizable dental composition as adjuvant, and then carry out filling in the hole of photopolymerizable dentistry composite resin, its volume is slightly smaller than the hole internal volume.After this, being used in the photocell that draws deeply the light guide end far away in the filling composite resin in the hole is incorporated into photocuring instrument of the present invention in the patient mouth.At this moment, the optical fibers that forms photocell is inserted into the bottom that can contact the hole or can be near the bottom position in hole.Be filled with composite resin in the required scheduled time scope of the polyreaction of finishing composite resin by rayed then from the emission of optical fibers end portion.
After polyreaction, from the hole, take out optical fibers, perhaps the method by cutting optical fibers is retained in the hole to separate fibre-optic end far away optical fibers.From patient's mouth, take out light guide then.
Photocuring instrument of the present invention comprises that light source, light source both can be used as the global facility of separating in the light guide or separated parts with control device, light guide and photocell, photocell.
In being inserted into the hole, where optical fibers is strict if being stayed, in the hole filling composite resin near surface location place cutting optical fibers.Afterwards, the required tooth that makes damaged that makes additional amount returns to the photopolymerizable composite resin that is similar to original-shape and is deposited on above the solidified composite resin to form resin surface layer, then uses up from the top and shines this resin surface layer to cause the polymerization of additional photopolymerizable composite resin.After finishing curing, solidified composite resin is adjusted meticulously and ground to finish the reparation of tooth.
It is also noted that to be similar to said method and can finish and utilize the dentistry mould to prepare artificial tooth.When above-mentioned situation, filling photopolymerizable compositions in the mould groove then makes it carry out polyreaction with photocuring instrument of the present invention so that solidify.
When implementing with dental curing light instrument of the present invention, method of the present invention is brought following advantage.
1, progressively carries out polymerization to the surface in hole because of the photopolymerizable composite resin that is filled in the tooth hole or the dentistry form cavity is interior from the bottom in hole, so can not leave over uncured a part of photopolymerizable composite resin in the bottom in hole, and the photopolymerizable composite resin can be by full solidification with an one integral body.
2, can advantageously reduce to occur along with the generation of polymerization shrinkage stress in photopolymerizable composite resin and the impaired danger of interdental bonding contact surface place's tack coat, have the least disadvantage of the cured composite resin in the hole between composite resin and tooth, to carry out firm bonding.
3, the formation in slit between photopolymerizable composite resin and tooth, do not occur, therefore, do not cause the possibility that the vegetative place of dental caries has avoided dental caries to reproduce thus.
Be positioned at the dental caries depths though 4 are damaged the position, possibility stays a part of photopolymerizable composite resin that approaches the hole inner bottom part and is not aggregated.Therefore, some composition that almost can reduce the photopolymerizable composite resin fully is penetrated into intrapulpal danger.
5, because from being incorporated into the optical fibers generation radiation in the hole, so can and have dentist's eyes may be subjected to the dangerous situation of high-strength light radiation damage from the outside radiant light of mouth.
6, because photocell can be handled easily and handle is sterilizablely to reuse for each patient, so can avoid the cross infection of dentistry disease between the patient.But being used for photocell easy to handle covering is preferred to identical purpose.
Can be by acrylic plastics or the optical fibers of in the invention process, using in the quartz preparation.Yet acrylic resin is preferably as the optical fibers material because can low price buy it and it can show the affinity good with the photopolymerizable composite resin, reason is that the latter is prepared by acyclic compound.
Make the part optical fibers stay the place of cured composite resin, the preferred light guide fiber has the affinity surface to the light curable composite resin and is used for strengthening bonding between final cured composite resin and optical fibers.Unless at optical fibers with reached gratifying bonding between the cured composite resin, the place can form small slit at the bonding contact surface, thereby second dental caries dyes sense and may take place.
Prepared fibre-optic place by acrylic plastics, the surface with affinity may be an optical fibers itself.Yet, being used as the occasion of optical fiber material at quartz, fibre-optic surface can have affinity to form coating to the photopolymerizable composite resin with silane coupler.
By removing fibre-optic occasion in the cured composite resin, optical fibers preferably has the surface that the photopolymerizable composite resin is not had affinity, so that smoothly remove optical fibers from solidified composite resin.By forming surface with affinity with nonpolar any polyolefin, synthetic rubber or the fibre-optic surface of fluoropolymer-coated.
Even form the cavity as removing fibre-optic result, with the required cavity of the abundant filling of photopolymerizable composite resin.
The light source that is used for photocuring instrument of the present invention can be can emission wavelength to be the laser of 350 to 500nm laser beam type.Preferably, above mentioned laser can be to comprise (the Nd:Y with Nd:YAG 3Al 5O 12) be the quasiconductor of the light beam of 946nm as the laser medium and the emission wavelength that can vibrate, and be to comprise the KN (KNbO that uses the nonlinear optics crystalline solid 3) resonator is with the solid-state laser of the harmonious ripple (473nm) of resonance second.The solid-state laser of said structure is called the second harmonious light source that is installed in the internal type resonator.
Use another kind of method, light source can be can emission wavelength be the semiconductor laser of 350 to 500nm laser beams, or the lamp of halogen one tungsten lamp or metal halide lamp and so on for example.Occasion using lamp must carefully apply heat with exempt from customs examination damaged position, for this reason, can use infrared cut filter to lamp.
Also can use the light emitting diode array to replace laser, when this situation, the light of launching from led array is focused on.
Select the light of wavelength in 350 to 500nm according to underlying cause: if light wave is shorter than 350nm, the patient can be subjected to ultraviolet influence unfriendly, if but light wave is longer than 500nm, just can not cause photopolymerization reaction.As for light intensity, using laser to need 10 to 100mW, but using lamp as the light source occasion as the light source occasion, need 10 to 200mW.Because laser beam is coherent beam and can sends light intensity to finish the purpose of photopolymerization composite resin so laser beam intensity can be lower than from lamp showing good characteristic aspect the curing photopolymerizable composite resin.Under any situations,, can not cause the photopolymerization reaction of composite resin in the middle of two if intensity is lower than MIN words, if but intensity is higher than maximum, and the patient will be subjected to the adverse effect of the heat that sent by light.
The control device that is used for photocuring instrument of the present invention can comprise that timer and/or control light source " are opened " or the switch of " passs ", optionally closes or opens from light source to fibre-optic optowire, and be provided with and carry out the time bar that shines.
The light guide that is used for photocuring instrument of the present invention can be, for example, be used for conducting the light that comes out with fibre-optic form from light source and pass light and collect optical system and arrive optical fibers, so that luminous energy arrives to such an extent that insert photocell in the hole effectively.The optical fibers that forms light guide can be single filament or multiply filament, and can comprise many segment of fiber that optically link together.
In enforcement of the present invention, importantly form the photocell that is inserted in the photopolymerizable composite resin by optical fibers.When attempting the light dispersion rod, for example disclosed among the clear 64-15037 of Japanese patent gazette that formerly discusses, when perhaps the transparent light guide rod that does not have the light dispersion performance being inserted into the hole of using the photopolymerizable composite resin filling, the light dispersion rod is in all directions scatter incident light, can not be only from bottom, hole initiated polymerization, on the other hand, transparent rods can not provide gratifying result, because a large amount of incident illuminations is sewed at the hole opening part.
Opposite in addition, optical fibers is from its side surface emitting incident light, but only from outwards launching in its end portion of light source opposite, so, can progressively realize using up satisfactorily shining from the bottom, hole of tooth or dentistry mould.Also because optical fibers has minimum diameter, and relatively, can easily finish with respect to the fibre-optic insertion of photopolymerizable composite resin, exist and remove with light dispersion rod.
With the photocell that is inserted into the optical fibers form in the hole be can from light guide, separate or cut away easily easily be implemented in the solidified post processing of photopolymerizable composite resin in the hole with activation.Can handle this photocell and no longer utilization.
An embodiment of photocuring instrument of the present invention comprises light source and with the light guide of single continuous photoconduction fibers form, this is preferably increased the fibre cutting machine structure.Be placed on position near the light guide far-end to the fibre cutting machine structure, for the far-end from its reserve part cutting optical fibers, so that fibre-optic far-end made dirty by patient's blood and/or saliva, and this is owing to be inserted into result in the dentistry hole.Most preferably use fresh optical fibers to carry out dental treatment to a patient.
Can carry out fibre-optic cutting discussed above with scissors or cutter.Yet,, preferably cutting mechanism is placed in handle place on the optical fibers that is installed in passage by the dentist from handling viewpoint easily.As an example, handle can have the button propulsion blade of a pressure with cutting optical fibers, perhaps thrust is delivered to suitable rod in case at the desired location place by this stick end place by the dress the blade cuts optical fibers.
Can between light guide and photocell, put into and to discharge coupling mechanism.Yet, can discharge coupling mechanism and can cause probably from the incident scattering of light of light guide to the photocell propagation.Therefore, for the utilization to greatest extent of light, single continuous optical fibers is quite effective.
Can discharge coupling mechanism and can have actuator and/or the fibre-optic axle of the effective mutually coupling of adapter.
Being used for optical fibers of the invention process must have such diameter so that when in the photopolymerizable composite resin that optical fibers is inserted into filling in the hole, will not clean this composite resin.Therefore, fibre-optic diameter preferably is not more than 1.5mm, more preferably no more than 1mm, most preferably is not more than 0.8mm.Being used for optical fibers of the invention process can be single filament or multiply filament, as long as it can satisfy the needs of the diameter of above-mentioned discussion.But preferably use sub-thread optical fibers filament, because its loss light is low.
The length of optical fibers far-end can not be fixed, because it is relevant with the design of light guide.But can take light guide near the handle of the position at damaged position occasion when fiber-optic device has, the preferred light guide fiber stretches out handle far-end 5mm or more.When by holding handle or being held under the arm a fiber and the far-end of continuous light fiber is inserted into occasion in the hole at damaged position by tweezers or any device of holding under the arm that other is fit to, optical fibers can have several meters total length.When optical fibers has when length is arranged very, preferably use bobbin that long optical fibers is rolled.
Fibre-optic shape is relevant with the previous fibre-optic length of discussing.If optical fibers stretches out about 5mm from the handle far-end, extension can be straight.But when its fundamental length surpassed about 5mm and its and held under the arm the position processing with tweezers, it can have the radian of diameter in 10 to 50mm scopes.
Photocuring instrument of the present invention decision design has effectively to be avoided by blood samples of patients and/or saliva contamination.Because the distal part of light guide is vulnerable to above-mentioned pollution, so other should be coated also for this purpose, handle can play the covering effect simultaneously.Use another kind of method,, can on handle one side, protecting tube be installed, pass this protecting tube and make light guide avoid polluting near light source for other covering.
Use another kind of method again, auxiliary covering is passable, combines hands and the remainder except the light guide far-end that is used for coating the dentist separately or with above-mentioned covering.Use this coating, light guide and dentist can prevent to suffer the pollution of patient's body fluid.This coating can be the bag form of being made by resin sheet, and optical fibers is passed through, and dentist's handle is inserted in the coating with the light guide of holding simultaneously.In addition or auxiliary coating promptly discardable after each patient uses.
In the invention process, can advantageously use the photopolymerizable composite resin to comprise polymerisable monomer, polymerization initiator, packing material and suitable additive.The polymerisable monomer that can use in the photopolymerizable composite resin comprises simple function and/or multifunctional (methyl) acrylate that comprises (methyl) alkyl acrylate (carbon atom number is 1 to 10 in the alkyl), polyalkylene 1,2-ethylene glycol bisthioglycolate (methyl) acrylate (carbon atom number is 2 to 20), glycol oligomer two (methyl) acrylate (2 to 10 quantum) bisphenol-A two (methyl) acrylate, 2, two [to (r-methacryloxy-beta-hydroxy-propoxyl group) phenyl] propane of 2-, 2,2-two (the many ethoxyl phenenyls of 4-methacryloxy) propane (has 2 to 10 oxirane (etoxy) base at 1 intramolecularly, trimethylolpropane tris (methyl) acrylate, and tetramethylolmethane four (methyl) acrylate: urethane (methyl) acrylate of the product between 2 moles of (methyl) acrylate with hydroxyl and the 1 mole of vulcabond, especially, for example be disclosed in the clear 55-33687 of Japanese patent gazette or disclose monomer among the clear 56-152408 of Japanese publication communique.These monomers can be separately or two kinds or multiple these monomer mixture forms use.Monomeric preferred use amount is 10 to 50wt% in compositions.
The polymerization initiator or the catalyst that can be used in the photopolymerization composite resin can be any known polymerization initiators, for example, as be disclosed in α-diketone and tertiary amine among clear 48-49875 of Japanese publication communique and the clear 60-26002, perhaps as be disclosed in α-diketone and peroxide among clear 57-203077 of Japanese publication communique and the clear 60-149603.Catalyst amount is 0.1 to 5wt% based on polymerisable monomer weight.
Can be used for packing material in the photopolymerizable composite resin and comprise various inorganic, organic or inorganics and organic composite filling material.Its exemplary comprises silicon dioxide (quartz, quartz glass or silica gel) or aluminium oxide.In addition, for inorganic filling material, the glass that also can contain siloxanes is as Main Ingredients and Appearance and each heavy metal species, boron and/or aluminum, various potter's clay, clay material as kieselguhr, Kaolin (Kanone) or montorillonite clay (monmolinite), active hargil, synthetic zeolite, Muscovitum, fluorizated calcium, calcium phosphate, barium sulfate, zirconium dioxide, titanium dioxide.
