US 2025/0255702 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CLEANING SPACE BETWEEN FIXED DENTURES AND GUM LINES

Abstract

A system for cleaning space between dentures and gum lines that has a substantially planar, flexible mouthpiece with a longitudinal axis. A proximal end of the mouthpiece substantially forms a crescent. A distal end of the mouthpiece stems perpendicularly from the proximal end of the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has coplanar ingress half and egress half separable by a central planar axis. The ingress half has a plurality of ingress proximal ports fluidly connected to at least one ingress distal port. The egress half has a plurality of egress proximal ports fluidly connected to at least one egress distal port. Pressure differentials in the ingress fluid channel propel fluid out of the ingress proximal ports. Pressure differentials in the egress fluid channel draw at least fluid into the egress proximal ports. Pressure differentials in the ingress and egress fluid channels are designed to be generated simultaneously by a pump and vacuum.

Dependent claims

A system for cleaning space between dentures and gum lines comprising:

a substantially planar, flexible mouthpiece having a longitudinal axis bilaterally dividing a right side and a left side;
a proximal end of the mouthpiece substantially forming a crescent, a distal end of the mouthpiece stemming perpendicularly from the proximal end of the mouthpiece on the longitudinal axis;
the mouthpiece having a coplanar top ingress half and bottom egress half separable by a central planar axis coplanar to the longitudinal axis;
the ingress half having a plurality of ingress proximal ports fluidly connected to at least one ingress distal port by a branched ingress fluid channel;
the egress half having a plurality of egress proximal ports fluidly connected to at least one egress distal port by a branched egress fluid channel;
wherein pressure differentials in the ingress fluid channel propel fluid out the ingress proximal ports;
wherein pressure differentials in the egress fluid channel draw at least fluid into the egress proximal ports;
and
wherein pressure differentials in the ingress fluid channel and the egress fluid channel are adapted to be generated simultaneously.
