Method for Using Sheet for Preventing Inflammation Caused by Excess Dental Cement and Inflammation Prevention Sheet

Abstract

[Object] Provided is means for being capable of simply and reliably preventing an excess dental cement from infiltrating into a gingival crevice when cement retention is applied in a dental treatment.

[Solving Means] There is provided a method for using an inflammation prevention sheet that prevents inflammation caused by an excess of a dental cement used in a dental treatment, the method including inserting a treatment tooth through a hole provided in an elastic sheet made of rubber and/or plastic, and setting the sheet so as to cover an entirety of a periodontal region of the treatment tooth, subsequently, covering the treatment tooth with a crown, and bonding together both with the dental cement, and thereafter, removing the inflammation prevention sheet to which an excess dental cement, which has escaped from a root of the crown, has adhered.

Claims

1. A method for using an inflammation prevention sheet that prevents inflammation caused by an excess of a dental cement used in a dental treatment, the method comprising: inserting a treatment tooth through a hole provided in an elastic sheet made of rubber and/or plastic, and setting the sheet so as to cover an entirety of a periodontal region of the treatment tooth; subsequently, filling the treatment tooth with a filling or covering the treatment tooth with a crown, and bonding together both with the dental cement; and thereafter, removing the inflammation prevention sheet to which an excess dental cement, which has escaped from a root of the crown, has adhered.

2. A method for using an inflammation prevention sheet that prevents inflammation caused by an excess of a dental cement used in a dental implant treatment in which a fixture is implanted in a jawbone and is joined to an abutment, the abutment is covered with a tooth crown, and both are bonded together with the dental cement, the method comprising: inserting the abutment through a hole provided in an elastic sheet made of rubber and/or plastic, and setting the sheet so as to cover a circumferential portion of a gingival crevice; and removing the inflammation prevention sheet to which an excess dental cement, which has escaped from a seam between the tooth crown and the abutment after the abutment is covered with the tooth crown and both are bonded together with the dental cement, has adhered.

3. The method for using an inflammation prevention sheet according to claim 1, wherein the inflammation prevention sheet to which the excess dental cement has adhered is removed before the cement is hardened.

4. The method for using an inflammation prevention sheet according to, wherein the hole is a cut provided at a center of the inflammation prevention sheet.

5. An inflammation prevention sheet that prevents inflammation caused by an excess of a dental cement used in a treatment in which a treatment tooth with a decayed tooth part cut away is covered with a filling or a covering crown and the treatment tooth and the filling or the covering crown are bonded together with the dental cement, wherein the inflammation prevention sheet is made of a thin elastic sheet made of rubber or plastic, which has a hole in a central portion, in which the treatment tooth is inserted through the hole, and which is set so as to cover an entirety of a periodontal region of the treatment tooth.

6. An inflammation prevention sheet that prevents inflammation caused by an excess of a dental cement used in a dental implant treatment in which a fixture is implanted in a jawbone and is joined to an abutment, the abutment is covered with a tooth crown, and both are bonded together with the dental cement, wherein the inflammation prevention sheet is an elastic sheet made of rubber and/or plastic, which has a hole having a diameter slightly smaller than a diameter of the abutment, in which the abutment is inserted through the hole, and which is set so as to cover an entirety of a periodontal region of a tooth which is a target for the treatment.

7. The inflammation prevention sheet according to claim 5, wherein a thickness of the sheet is 0.05 to 1.0 mm.

8. The inflammation prevention sheet according to claim 5, wherein the sheet is made of a silicone resin or a fluorine resin which is water repellent.

9. The inflammation prevention sheet according to claim 5, wherein a shape of the hole is any one of a circular shape, a star shape, a diamond shape, and an x shape.

10. The inflammation prevention sheet according to claim 5, wherein the sheet is colored.
