Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a laser adapted to perform incision, coagulation, hemostasis, and prevention and treatment of diseases in the oral cavity such as alveolar pyorrhea using a laser beam. The present invention relates to a dental treatment table with a device.

(Prior Art) As a laser device used for dental treatment as described above, one having a relatively large output and a large capacity is required. Therefore, since the entire laser device including the laser generator and the cooling device for cooling the source is large in size, conventionally, the laser device is generally configured separately from the treatment main body, and this Either a stationary type that is used by placing it in a position or a mobile type that is movable so that it can be moved freely has been adopted.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, in the conventional case in which the main body of the treatment table and the laser device are separated from each other, an optical fiber as a laser light guide path is stretched from the laser device to the treatment table, which should be avoided. If a person accidentally gets caught on the stretched optical fiber, the surgeon's hand may irradiate the laser light on a part other than the treatment site, or the optical fiber may be broken and the laser light may be irradiated on an unexpected place. In the worst case, there is a risk of blindness if laser light is applied to the eyes. In addition, there is a problem that the surgeon is hard to physically treat because the effective space in the treatment room is limited due to the space occupied by each of them and the installation position of the laser device with respect to the treatment table is limited. there were.

In addition, since the treatment handpiece itself and the operation panel or the operation / display panel for output adjustment are also connected to the laser device located at a position apart from the treatment table body via an optical fiber, the treatment table body and the laser device are connected to each other. Depending on the relative placement relationship, there are problems such as the operator having no freedom in movement of the handpiece when healed by hand, and it is difficult to confirm the operation and operation status.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and provides a dental treatment table with a laser device which can be put together in a minimum required space and which is very easy for an operator to treat. The purpose is to

(Means for Solving Problems) In order to achieve the above object, in a dental treatment table with a laser device according to the present invention, a laser generator and a cooling device are built in or outside the treatment table main body or an attached member thereof. Attached, the laser handpiece is placed on a laser output adjusting panel provided on a movable arm arranged on the side of the back of the treatment table or on a hanger for locking the panel, and connected to the laser generator. The optical fiber is inserted into or attached to the movable arm, is connected to the handpiece, and cooling water or air to be supplied to the laser cooling device is guided from a therapeutic water source or an air source of the treatment table. Is to have.

(Operation) In the dental treatment table with a laser device according to the present invention having such a characteristic configuration, the relative posture and relative position of the treatment table main body and the laser device are fixed to the optimum relationship for the treatment, and the laser The optical fiber that connects the generator and the handpiece can be placed along the treatment table without disturbing the movement of the surgeon and inserted into or attached to the movable arm that supports the operation panel. Also, since the operation panel is arranged on the movable arm on the side of the treatment table, the operation status and the like can be confirmed while the user is at the predetermined treatment position, and the laser handpiece is fixed on the operation panel. Therefore, it is possible for the operator to perform the predetermined treatment most easily.

In addition, since the treatment table body or a member attached to the treatment table body, such as a side pole or a basin pole, also serves as a support portion for the laser generator and the cooling device, it is dedicated to the laser generator and the cooling device. Since the support stand (fixed stand or moving table) can be eliminated, the whole can be downsized and space can be saved.

Furthermore, since the tap water or compressed air for treatment is used as the water / air used for the cooling device of the laser generator, the piping system is simplified.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(First Embodiment) In FIG. 1, (1) is a treatment table main body, which is installed on a floor (FL) and is equipped with a drive mechanism for posture control such as seat lifting and backrest undulation.
