[0001] DENTAL STIMILIZATION WATER SUPPLY DEVICE [0002]

The present invention relates to a dental sterilizing water supply device. More particularly, the present invention relates to a dental sterilizing water supply apparatus for providing sterile water used for dental treatment.

Bacterial infections caused by bacteria found in the oral cavity are known to be caries mainly caused by mutans streptococci, and periodontitis and periodontal disease caused by periodontal pathogens.

There are many ways to treat such periodontal disease, but none of them show the fundamental treatment. For example, although ozone treatment is known as a periodontal disease treatment, it is unclear whether the ozone itself is unstable and thus can kill periodontal pathogens in an area where the periodontal pocket is deep as an anaerobic pathogen. In addition, treatment with antibiotics is not optimal as a fundamental periodontal disease treatment because of the risk of the appearance of resistant bacteria.

In addition, although 3DS has been known to treat dental caries, it is necessary to prepare trays for each patient's dentition, and it takes about 5 minutes per one operation of eradication in relation to the medicine used for eradication, For reasons such as repetition, both the treatment side and the patient side have a large time burden, and the order of treatment is troublesome and costly.
