Abstract
The invention relates for producing permanent dentures without using any implants (screws) on the gum or using glue but using the vacuum of suction cells (suckers), between the natural gum and dentures, but using flexible thin plastic (approved by FDA) sheath between the gum and the dentures using suckers (similar to octopus) made on upper and lower surfaces of the sheath the upper sheath surface will have the same shape of the normal denture lower surface, similarly the lower sheath surface will have the same shape of the gum, the shape of the plastic sheath will always have the same shape of the gypsum modeled cast at the dentist clinic, for the gum surface, all the suckers will be (squeezed) pressed and create vacuum to hold the dentures to the gum and the dentures
Claims
1) To produce permanent dentures without using any implants (screws) on the gum or jaws bones or any glue but using the vacuum of suction cells (suckers) (similar to octopus or Squid or leeches Suckers)
2) The new permanent dentures without implant will be much cheaper and without any pain and no waiting time to heal like implants
3) Using two rows of suckers (with flat straight gaps between each successive sucker) one on the upper jaws and one on the lower jaws to produce local vacuum on both the gum (jaws) and the normally made teeth dentures with flat gaps to keep suckers vacuum independent of each other,
4) The suckers and the sheath are made of very thin flexible plastic (approved by FDA of USA) sheath placed between the gum (jaws) and the normal dentures and will be vacuum formed using the cast gypsum produced in the dentist clinic
5) or injection molding for mass production of the sheath and the suckers as described above and can be ready for wearing by any person (if made from very thin and very flexible plastics) but may have sizes, small, medium and large size to fit different size jaws aided by computer scan and may help in deciding the size needed or designing the shape of the injection moulding sheath required
6) Can replace and be used as teeth bridges or even individual teeth but placed so it will be touching the adjacent teeth and made to slide in between the adjacent teeth with the suckers sheath attached on upper and lower surfaces
7) These suckers can work on irregular surfaces and in very small sizes and will be flat when squeezed, work best at wet surfaces (mouth saliva), the vacuum will be continuously rejuvenated due to the natural chewing and grinding of the mouth,
8) When the half-sphere top of the sucker will be squeezed (pushed down) vacuum will be created and suction will take place, the sheath will adhere to both surfaces of the jaws and the denture surfaces with great strength, very effective on the lower jaws as the functioning of the tongue tends to break the suction on normal dentures
9) Suckers can be separated using air pressure introduced to the sheath suckers through small holes drilled by the dentist or already made before installation
10) The long term effect of wearing the vacuum sucker's permanent teeth system can be treated like the effect of the long term effect caused by using the implant permanent teeth effect

DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0061] The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for producing permanent dentures without using any implants (screws) on the jaws bones or glue but using the vacuum of suction cells (suckers), between the natural jaws and normally made dentures but using flexible plastic (approved by FDA of USA) sheath between the jaws and the dentures using suckers (similar to octopus or Squid or leeches Suckers) FIG. 1, FIG. 6, made on upper and lower surfaces of the sheath surfaces. The making of the dentures will use the same methods used with normally made denture with the usual impression taken for normal made dentures FIG. 33. The flexible plastic sheath (FIG. 36) will be used in-between the gum and the normal dentures and will be vacuum formed with heat& vacuum (Thermoforming methodor injection molding for very flexible plastics, mass production with sizes) to take the shape of the jawsgum shape on one side and the shape of the normally made dentures inner (lower) side shape with suckers on both surfaces FIG. 44, for clarification the making of the plastic sheath will be assumed to take the shape of the jaws-gum impression on the lower side and the impression on the upper part of the sheath of the already made normal denture impression with the suckers on both upper and lower surfaces. The suckers (work very well in wet surfaces for Octopus, leaches and Squids in nature)or in the wet mouth for the suckers on the flexible sheath and the vacuum is rejuvenated on chewing of the mouth on the sheath upper surface and lower surface of the suckers. The suckers are made in half-sphere shape like (or any suitable shape) with width or diameter nearly equal to the gum thickness with height of the (sucker height) sucker equal half-sphere approximately 1 mm to 3 mm height enough to produce suction. These suckers will be flat when squeezed and pushed by the pressure exerted on this half-sphere sucker top part and the lower part by the squeezing of both jaws in normal eating or chewing. These alternating upper suckers and lower suckers will have flat gaps between the suckers on the jaws and dentures surfaces. All upper suckers and lower suckers and the flat part in-between will all be squeezed flat when both jaws are in closed positions FIG. 32. When the half-sphere top will be squeezed (pushed down) vacuum will be created and suction will take place (rubber like silicon or Eva or similar flexible plastics approved by FDA-USA) and the sheath will adhere to both surfaces of the jaws and the denture surfaces with great strength
[0062] FIG. 38, these individual vacuum suction cells (suckers) on the flexible plastic sheath will fit perfectly on both sides of the jaws upper side and the lower side of the normally made dentures (suckers vacuum will work on concave or curved or irregular surfaces if flexible plastic are used-see vacuum suckers tests on concave surfaces FIG. 15.
[0063] These flexible plastic sheets sheaths will have individual vacuum suction cells on the upper part of the sheath and individual vacuum suction cell on the lower side of the flexible sheaths These shaped plastic sheath with its vacuum suction cells, FIG. 36 (suckers not made yet for clarification of the principal) on its upper surface and lower surface will be made to adhere to the jaws and the normal made dentures and can be used to adhere to the upper jaw or lower jaw or to partial part of the upper or lower jaw like the bridge used in the normal individual bridge without depending on the side or adjacent teeth but completely individual and independent and depending on individual plastic suction cells suckers. These individual suction cells (suckers) can adhere to the jaws and the normal made upper denture or lower denture and the jaws gum using the suckers on both sides of the jaws and the normal denture inner part by using a plastic sheet made to fit to the jaws gum and the normal made dentures with the contours impression printed for individual upper jaws gum or lower jaws gum using the normal methods using gypsum method to get impressions for the jaws gum contour and inner part contour of the denture and the plastic sheet contour with the suction suckers in place before being pushed to produce the suction on both sides of the plastic sheath. FIG. 38. However it should be pointed out that normal dentures made, use the suction and adhesion of the cavity made in the upper denture set use suction (not very good vacuum suction) due to the tongue and mouth suction to get the denture set adhere to the upper part of the mouth due to the special cavity made in the upper denture set and this suction and adhesion could not be done in the lower denture set and difficulties exist in fixing the lower denture to the lower jaws and it should be mentioned that this suction cavity where done in Japan around 1700s and the dentures had almost the same shape as modern dentures, and attached inside the mouth with similar suction and adhesion as done today. Patent development to increase the vacuum suction between the false teeth and the jaws gum, using bolts or threads (FIG. 40); An alternative method to make the false teeth permanent is to use continuous sheath without suckers like shown in (FIG. 40) for both upper and lower jaws but with bolts attached as shown and the bolts will be placed in selected teeth and not for all teeth so one suction vacuum will be independent of each other and not connected to each other so each vacuum created will be independent of each other and is to use maximum suction to be applied between the false teeth (dentures) and the natural mouth jaws using the vacuum created by the pulling up the lower part of the denture resting on the natural jaws using the screws pull up between the denture and the jaws by pulling the plastic sheath inner part but holding the outer part of the sheath attached to the jaws outer part but the sheath are held to the red acrylic gum as shown similar to the mechanical pull of the bath suction handle FIG. 25 which has very high suction forces see test results in pictures attached FIG. 29 However these bolts and nuts can be discarded and replaced with circular thread stainless steel or gold or plastic nylon to be inserted in the hole in the teeth and connected to the sheath using washers or any other connectors or similar material strong enough to withstand the pulling of the sheath while holding the base of the sheath attached to the base of the natural jaws gum by pulling the thread using pulling device (say twisters) the after pulling the sheath to the predetermine required length then glue which dries quickly is applied and the thread is held by the device until dry the thread and the sheath may be up 1-2 mm above the jaws gum, the thread excess is cut off using the teeth grinder and the hole sealed using acrylic glue FIG. 41 this will be applied for the chosen teeth may be 5-6 for each denture upper and lower jaws and the thread is cut and the denture are smoothed to be able to use the denture normally, this procedure can be used on several successive false teeth and leave several false teeth to hold the sleeves tight to the human gum so the vacuum will operate at individual teeth and pull the sleeves 2 mm or more up and on both sides of these pulled up sleeves will be pushing the sleeves on both sides with several teeth and so on to keep the vacuum individually just in case one set of vacuum or string braking, it should be noted that the clear holes do not have to be on the front face of the false acrylic teeth but may be inside on the acrylic false red gum especially for the front teeth sets then the sheath is pushed by the human jaws downward which will give it the vacuum needed if perfects contours are done on the silicon sheath or if EVA is used, It should be noted that to hold the silicon or EVA sheath can be held very tightly to the acrylic gum using click on key holding device to grip the denture to the sheath. Holes (FIG. 41) on both horizontal sides of the acrylic gum to hold the sheath on both sides by melting the silicon or EVA and applied to the denture and the sleeve bottom edges only before attaching the denture and sleeve on top of natural gum, glue can be used temporarily to hold the sheath bottom to the acrylic gum if holes where not made. The above procedures can be made in several teeth units with gaps in-between to give the human gum chance to breath and can be cleaned with tooth brush. These units can be connected to each other in several ways (GLUE, STEEL CONNECTORS) The thread system can work on 3 tooth group by putting the thread in the middle tooth but half of the sleeve will have gap on both sides of the middle tooth but pressed by half the 1st and half of 3th tooth, (i.e. the sleeve can stretch on two tooth) but the sleeves' can stretch on the middle tooth and half of the first and half of the 3rd tooth, the rest is as above It should be noted that These vacuum suction cells (suckers) or vacuum created using bolts or threads, can be separated using air pressure introduced to the sheath suckers through small holes drilled by the dentist or already made before installation of the denture and these holes will be capped by screws (acrylic or like implant screws) which can be taken out and air is pushed through these holes to release the denture attachment to the gum by removing the vacuum suctions effect on both the upper and lower surfaces when required but can be treated like implant screw on false teeth system in the long term effect. FIG. 44 shows sheath with places for upper and lower made suckers in alternative mode which when pressed done by the jaws the suckers will produce suction on both the jaws gum and the dentures and they will adhere to each other and this suction will be rejuvenated every time the mouth closes
[0064] It should be noted that the sheath manufactured with its vacuum suction cells (suckers) used in this patent can be produced using injection molding plastic sheath if made of very thin and very flexible plastic materials, then the sheaths will take any shape{vacuum suction the cells (suckers) will produce the same dental impression of the natural jaws gum and the same dental impression of acrylic denture of the lower shape due to the vacuum created} with the same suckers as described above and can be ready for wearing by any person but may have sizes, 325 small, medium and large size to fit different size jaws aided by computer scan and may help in deciding the size needed or designing the shape of the injection molding sheath required
