METHOD OF CLEANING ORAL CAVITY Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61C17/22 A61C19/04 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, in particular to dentistry, and deals with a method of oral cavity cleaning. The method includes the installation of a respective device on oral cavity sections for the detection and removal of plaque from the surface of, at least, one tooth. Cleaning and irradiation of the said surface are carried out simultaneously. A fluorescent agent, capable of binding with plaque, is applied on the surface of, at least, one tooth. The wavelength of falling radiation is such that effectively provides fluorescent radiation. The fluorescent radiation is registered during the first time period. The first average plaque value (APV1) is determined on the basis of the said fluorescent radiation. After that, registration of the fluorescent radiation during the second time period and determination of the second average plaque value (APV2) are carried out. Comparison of APV1 with APV2 is performed. Reflected light, obtained in the interaction of the said falling radiation with the said surface, is registered, in fact, simultaneously with the radiation and APV1 and APV2 to determine an average compensated plaque value (ACPV) for the said APV1 and APV2.

EFFECT: method ensures effective cleaning of the oral cavity due to the reliable presentation of the plaque state in the process of cleaning.
