DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a personal data storage device in which a memory element having personal information such as name, blood type, and history of a medical condition is built in a prosthetic crown.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When it is necessary to take urgent medical treatment due to a traffic accident or seizure, etc., if it is not possible to obtain medical information directly from the person, such as a blood type or a previous medical condition, the identity of the patient must be confirmed. And it took a considerable amount of time to obtain necessary medical information. In some cases, the identity of a fatal accident, a severely damaged body, or an unidentified body may be checked from dental treatment data, etc. It is not a typical thing.

[0003] As a countermeasure, it is one method to add necessary medical information and the like to, for example, an identification card or a personal accessory, but it is not always carried around. It may be scattered or destroyed, and lacks reliability.

Accordingly, the present applicant has engraved necessary data on the surface of a metallic prosthesis to be mounted on teeth such as molar teeth, poured gold wax into the engraving, and finished the surface smoothly. , Has been proposed to be able to collect the necessary data in an emergency.

[0005] Stamping data on a crown prosthesis is a simple and reliable method, and there is no problem such as loss. Therefore, it can be said to be an extremely effective means.

[0006]

However, in this case, since the data is directly engraved on the crown prosthesis, a large amount of information cannot be stored, and the information is limited to simple information such as a name.
Although its utility is extremely high if its purpose is limited, such as identification of corpses, it is not always sufficient for emergency medical measures such as accidents and seizures. If accurate personal data such as blood type and medical history can be easily obtained for urgent medical treatment, reduction of medical mistakes and dramatic improvement of lifesaving effect can be expected.

In addition, a chip (memory element) of a rice grain size is injected into the body of an animal (a dog or the like) with a syringe, and information such as family register is stored in the chip. However, in this case, since the chip is implanted in the body, it is very burdensome, and there is a problem of sequelae due to the implantation, and it is dangerous to apply it to the human body, In addition, there are many problems from a practical point of view, such as a small data capacity, and it is not easy to correct or add data or replace a chip.

An object of the present invention is to provide a personal data storage device in which a storage element having personal information such as a blood type and a medical history is built in a crown prosthesis for the purpose of solving such a problem.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, an element storing personal data such as a name, blood type, and history or a personal identification number is incorporated in a crown prosthesis, and data stored in the internal element can be extracted. In the personal data storage device, the element is housed in a hole formed in a crown prosthesis,
And while covering the surface with a lid so that there is no unevenness,
A connector is connected to the terminal of the storage element so that stored data can be taken out.

[0010]

[Function] Therefore, the element incorporated in the crown prosthesis stores personal data such as name, blood type, and past medical conditions, so that it can be directly heard from the person when performing emergency medical treatment. Even when the operation cannot be performed, appropriate measures can be taken promptly by extracting the stored contents of the element. The dental prosthesis can be installed easily and without danger by ordinary dental treatment, and the data storage capacity is high due to the high durability of the dental prosthesis, and correction and addition of data as necessary. Also, it is easy to exchange, etc., so it is excellent in safety and reliability of data storage.

Further, since the element is buried in a hole formed at the time of casting a crown prosthesis and the like, and the surface is covered with a lid so as not to have irregularities, it can be easily built in, and there is no discomfort during mounting.

Further, by breaking the lid and directly connecting the connector to the terminal of the element, stored data can be easily and quickly taken out.

[0013]

1 to 3 show a first embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a crown prosthesis to be attached to a molar or premolar of a tooth, and an element 2 storing personal data is embedded in a side surface of the crown prosthesis 1.
For example, as shown in FIG. 2, when the crown prosthesis 1 is cast from a gold-silver-palladium alloy for dental casting by a lost wax method, the flat hole 1 a for embedding the element 2 is formed in the embedding of the element 2. It is formed on the side surface, the element 2 is housed therein, a relatively thin lid 4 is covered from the front side, and the periphery is brazed and sealed by electron beam welding or bonding.
After this sealing, the periphery of the lid 4 is polished so that there is no unevenness, and a smooth surface is finished. In order to prevent the lid 4 from falling off, spherical lids may be provided at the four corners for fitting, or an undercut may be provided on the side surface of the hole into which the lid 4 is fitted, and the lid 4 may be fitted. . In addition, the periphery of the element 2 is sealed by a watertight structure to prevent moisture from entering the inside.

An external connector is directly connected to the terminal 3 as it is by disposing a terminal 3 for reading out the stored content on a part of the element 2 with the cover 4 being removed. The element 2 itself is taken out of the prosthesis 1 and connected to a computer or the like to collect the stored information.

The data stored in the element 2 includes personal information such as a name, an address, a date of birth, a blood type, and a preexisting condition, or a personal identification number. In this case, 1 kilobyte is enough for the storage capacity of the element 2, and about 50 lines of information can be stored in 16 lines per line.
The size can be several mm square.

[0017] Among these, as for the personal identification number, detailed information of the individual corresponding to this identification number is input in advance to a computer or the like managed in another place, and is referred by the identification number, and data is read from the computer. . In this case, since the capacity to be stored in the element 2 is reduced, the size can be reduced.

As described above, the element 2 incorporated in the crown prosthesis 1 stores personal data such as name, address, date of birth, blood type, and past illness, or a personal identification number. Even when emergency medical treatment such as an accident or seizure needs to be performed, it is possible to take appropriate measures quickly by taking out the stored contents of the element 1 even when it is impossible to directly hear from the person. .

The mounting of the crown prosthesis 1 on a tooth can be easily performed by ordinary dental treatment, is highly safe, and does not cause any problems such as pain, danger, and sequelae when implanted in the body. do not do.

Since the crown prosthesis 1 is highly durable from its original function, the preservation of the built-in element 2 is also very good, and the prosthesis 1 does not easily come off due to an accident or impact. It ’s never misrecognized as someone ’s information,
With reliable data and the ability to quickly and accurately obtain medical information for urgent medical procedures,
Dramatic improvement of the lifesaving effect and avoidance of medical mistakes can be achieved.

The correction or addition of the stored personal data can be performed by taking out the element 2 embedded in the crown prosthesis 1 and correcting the data, or replacing the element 2 with the element 2 storing new data. It can be easily updated as needed.

In the above embodiment, if electron beam welding is used to bury the element 2 and fix the lid 4, the internal temperature rise is suppressed to 100 ° C. or less, and the element 2 is not thermally damaged. It can be reliably prevented. When brazing is used, the melting temperature of the gold-silver-palladium alloy constituting the crown prosthesis 1 is about 965 ° C., and the temperature required for brazing is about 7 ° C.
Since the temperature is 00 ° C., if the brazing is not performed quickly, there is a risk that the internal element 2 may be thermally damaged. However, in order to avoid this, as shown in FIG. It is good to wrap and fill. In this case, even when it becomes a dead body, the element 2 inside is thermally protected and correct information can be taken out.

FIG. 5 shows an embodiment in which the direction of embedding the element 2 is changed. The hole 1a formed in the crown prosthesis 1 is formed so that the opening area to the side surface is minimized. , Embedded horizontally. Since the element 2 has a flat shape, a large lid 4 is required. However, in this case, the lid 4 becomes small, and it is possible to reliably prevent moisture from entering from the joint surface. By arranging the terminal 3 on the side where the cover 4 is located, data can be easily taken out.

Further, as an example of the element 2 to be embedded in the crown prosthesis 1, a transmission type element shown in FIG. 6 can be used. This is because the coil 6 is provided on the outer periphery of the element 2, and when an external high-frequency radio wave is received, an electromotive force is generated in the coil 6, thereby activating the internal element 2 and storing information through the coil 6. send. Therefore, the information stored in the element 2 can be easily taken out. In this case, since the sensitivity is improved as the lid 4 is thinner, when the element 2 is embedded, instead of the lid 4, a melted plastic or an adhesive may be poured and sealed. In this case, since the temperature is lowered, burning of the element 2 can be prevented.

By the way, in order to recognize that the element 2 having the personal data stored therein is embedded in the crown prosthesis 1, the figure is placed on the side surface of the crown prosthesis 1, preferably at a position inside the teeth. An identification mark 7 such as 7 may be provided.
When the mark 7 is engraved, if the depth is 40 microns or less, there is no sense of incongruity when touched by the tongue. If the mark of the mark 7 is filled with gold or silver wax having different colors, the sense of incongruity at the time of mounting is completely eliminated.

Alternatively, a lid 4 for closing the embedded element 2
When using a transparent material, for example, a synthetic resin such as acrylic, or filling a transparent adhesive or the like instead of the lid 4,
The presence of the element 2 can be easily recognized from outside.

The crown prosthesis 1 having the element 2 embedded therein is best protected from damage by being attached to a molar or premolar, which is not easily damaged by accidents or the like.

[0028]

As described above, according to the present invention, the element incorporated in the crown prosthesis stores personal data such as the name, blood type, and past illness, so that emergency medical treatment is performed. In some cases, such as when it is not possible to hear directly from the person, by taking out the stored contents of the element, appropriate measures can be taken promptly, while crown prostheses can be easily and easily performed by ordinary dental treatment. It can be installed without danger, and has a high data storage capacity due to the high durability of the crown prosthesis, and can easily correct, add, or exchange data as necessary. It has the effect of being excellent in safety and reliability.

Further, since the element is buried in a hole formed at the time of casting a crown prosthesis or the like, and the surface is covered with a lid so as not to have unevenness, it can be easily built in, and there is no discomfort at the time of mounting.

Further, by breaking the lid and directly connecting the connector to the terminal of the element, stored data can be easily and quickly taken out.
