Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a dental treatment table that has the functions of both a dental treatment table and a diagnosis table, and it can perform not only treatment but also various diagnoses necessary prior to treatment. It was designed so that it could be carried out in parallel.

Traditionally, diagnosis was carried out in the treatment area prior to treatment, but since the treatment table is not equipped with diagnostic instruments, the diagnostic instruments installed on a portable table or dental cabinet are taken out and used. As a result, it is difficult to store diagnostic instruments when they are not in use and to prepare them for use, which is troublesome and inefficient for doctors and nurses. Furthermore, since the diagnostic instruments themselves do not have the ability to record, store, or process medical information, there is a problem in that a scribe is required to record the measurement information.

The present invention has been made with the above intention in order to improve the above-mentioned problems, and the preferred embodiments will be described in detail below. 3 is a perspective explanatory view showing the probe box holder and the probe detachment detection device, and FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the relationship between the probe, the display/output device, and the input/operation device. As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, the present invention apparatus provides dental treatment in which a treatment instrument 2 such as a syringe or a handpiece is detachably attached in a space sandwiched by the shoulder of the back seat 11, the side of the head rest 12, or both. Base 1 and movable arm 3
1, a probe box 3 is attached to the shoulder of the back seat 11 or near the side of the headrest 12 so as to be horizontally rotatable and vertically adjustable.
This dental treatment table comprises a diagnostic probe 4 detachably attached to the probe box 3, an input/operation device 5 and a display/output device 6 connected to the probe box 3. In the figure, 7 indicates a spittoon. In the above configuration, the diagnostic probe 4 includes, for example, a cul-de-sac measurement probe, a dental tooth measurement probe, a root canal length measurement probe, etc., and large-sized diagnostic instruments such as an occlusal sound diagnostic device, a mandibular movement measurement probe, etc. The occlusal muscle activity indicator, etc. are installed on a separate cabinet (not shown). input·
The operating device 5 is a computer keyboard,
The display/output device 6 for this pair is a CRT.
Or a printer. Therefore, treatment instruments such as syringes and handpieces, diagnostic probes such as cul-measuring probes, tooth teeth...measuring probes, and input/operating devices such as keyboards,
Display/output devices such as CRTs and printers are separated and organized and distributed around the treatment table, but the doctor can diagnose the patient and treat the patient at the position (usually on the right or rear side of the headrest). , therapeutic instruments, diagnostic instruments, input/operation devices, and display/output devices, all of which can be freely accessed and operated.

The doctor himself can enter and display diagnostic (measurement) information by operating the keyboard, but when the probe 4 is removed from the holder and removed from the probe box, the output section of the probe is connected to the computer's input device and display. - Automatically connect to an output device so that diagnostic information from the probe is automatically recorded and displayed, or recorded and displayed after being processed by a computer. be able to. When the diagnosis using the probe is finished, the probe is stored in the probe holder, and the next second diagnostic probe is removed from the holder and removed from the probe box, the output section of the second diagnostic probe is connected to the input device of the computer, It is automatically connected to a display/output device, and diagnostic (measurement) information by the second diagnostic probe is recorded and displayed. An example is shown in FIG. That is, holder 3
2 has a cutout 35 transparent therein, and the operating lever 330 of the micro switch 33 is inserted into the cutout 35. When the probe 4 is latched to the holder 32, the probe 4 is moved to the operating lever 330 by the probe 4. The lever 330 resists the elasticity of the built-in spring.
is pressed, but when the probe 4 is removed, the lever 3
30 returns, and as a result, micro switch 33
It can also operate electronic devices including. Processing and displaying the information from each probe 4 using the display/output device 5 and input/operation device 6, each of which has four probes, requires the number of devices 5 and 6 to correspond to the number of probes. , input/operation device 5,
It is strongly desired to use one display/output device 6 for each of the probes 4 in common in terms of cost and space. As an example of this, as shown in Fig. 4, the output side of each probe 4 is connected to one microprocessor, the diagnostic function for each probe 4 is selected by operating a common keyboard, and the diagnostic information is stored in the output side of each probe 4. A suitable display format is selected and displayed on one common display device 6 (CRT or printer). Although this microprocessor is not shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, it is used in combination with a display/output device 6. Although not shown, diagnostic information is stored in a memory and displayed on a display/output device 6 by operating the input/operation device 5 or the probe 4. At this time, if treatment information is stored in the memory in advance, it is possible to exchange information on two sides, diagnosis and treatment, and improve diagnostic accuracy. The applicant has disclosed details regarding such a system in a separate application. The movable arm 31 pivots a plurality of arms 3
The seat 13 is pivotally connected to the seat 13 by means of 0, so that it can be pivoted horizontally and its position can be adjusted vertically. Moreover, the movable arm 31
In addition to those installed on the treatment table 1 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 2, it goes without saying that there are also those that are led from a separate pole and those that are led from a wall. The probe box 3 stores rarely used probes, replacement parts, tools, etc. The treatment table 1 on which the treatment instruments 2 are removably attached to the designated areas is a dental treatment device disclosed in Patent No. 444604 (Japanese Patent Publication No. 39-23891) owned by the present applicant, which improves the operability of the doctor. This was a significant improvement and made it possible to eliminate the use of the unit.

Since the device of the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, it is equipped with the function of a diagnostic table in addition to the function of a conventional treatment table, allowing a doctor to perform both diagnosis and treatment on a single treatment table. Not only does this eliminate the hassle of installing and preparing diagnostic probes, but since the input/operation device and display/output device are located near the doctor, input/output and display of diagnostic information can be performed simultaneously. Therefore, it is possible to save information, read old information, and even refer to treatment information, contributing to a wide range of diagnostic treatments. Incidentally, if it is possible to input/output and display information at the same time as using the probe, the above-mentioned benefits will be further increased, so its application is desired.
