摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problems that the removal of the dental calculus and dental plaque is carried out by a sharply pointed drill in a dental hospital, that a patient is forced to suffer from pain and that the perfect treatment is not always carried out while the health of the teeth is an increasingly important matter of concern with the aging of the society. ;SOLUTION: A vibrating thread 8 spread in a bow part 7b of a toothpick part 7 is pressed the teeth, by which a polishing effect is imparted to the tooth surfaces and the polishing effect and massage effect are generated in the boundary part between the gingiva and the teeth. The massage effect is generated in the gingiva areas, by which the deposits, such as dental calculus and dental plaque, may be removed without damaging the gingiva. Even more, a tooth polishing agent, rinsing water, or the like, are not needed and the removal may be easily carried out. The implement is thus convenient and can contribute to the prevention of the teeth and the early treatment of periodontal diseases and alveolar abscess under progression advantageously in terms of a cost.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2001,JPO
