摘要： The periodontal pocket cleaner is a device for cleaning the deeper recesses of a periodontal pocket by the removal of debris material. The device can also be employed for ascertaining and monitoring bleeding and suppuration within such pocket so as to detect the onset of an inflamation or other pathology and for delivering medication to such pockets as a complement for the treatment of infections or inflammation. The device has a wooden composition and an elongated narrow shape with the grain of the wood running parallel to the direction of elongation. The device includes a tapered end which narrows to a functional point to facilitate the insertion of the device into the deeper recesses of the periodontal pocket. This tapered end of the device also serves for scooping material from the pocket, for scraping plaque from the tooth surfaces adjacent to the pocket, and for absorbing blood and other suspended components from the pocket. By virtue of its small size, narrow shape, wooden composition, softness, and pliancy, the device minimizes the deformation and abrasion of the detached gingival tissues which form the pocket. The pocket cleaner is designed for daily home use after each meal by dental patients for maintaining periodontal hygiene.

摘要： The periodontal pocket cleaner is a device for removing material from a periodontal sulcus or periodontal pocket and for ascertaining and monitoring bleeding and suppuration within the sulcus or pocket. The pocket cleaner is a disposable item composed of a soft hardwood or similarly appropriate wood. It has an elongated narrow shape with the grain of the wood parallel to the direction of elongation. The device tapers to a functional point at one end enabling this tapered end to be easily inserted into the sulcus or periodontal pocket. The tapered end of the pocket cleaner is softened by being moistened before being inserted into the sulcus or pocket. The tapered end of the pocket cleaner is used to scoop material from the sulcus or pocket, to scrape plaque from the tooth surfaces adjacent to the sulcus or pocket, and to absorb blood and other suspended components from the sulcus or pocket. By virtue of its small size, narrow shape, wooden composition, softness, and pliancy, the pocket cleaner minimizes the deformation and abrasion of the detached gingival tissues which form the sulcus or pocket. In spite of its small size and narrow shape, the moistened pocket cleaner usually maintains sufficient strength to clean several sulci and pockets. The absorbent wood of the pocket cleaner also provides the vehicle for the delivery of medication as a complement for the treatment of infections within the deeper recesses of pockets.

摘要翻译： 牙周袋清洁器是用于从牙周牙槽或牙周袋中去除材料的装置，用于确定和监测龈沟或口袋内的出血和化脓。 口袋清洁剂是由柔软的硬木或类似的木材组成的一次性物品。 它具有细长的狭窄形状，其中木材的颗粒平行于伸长方向。 该装置在一端向功能点逐渐变细，使得该锥形端能够容易地插入到牙沟或牙周袋中。 袋式清洁器的锥形端在被插入龈沟或口袋之前被润湿而软化。 袋式清洁器的锥形端用于从龈沟或口袋挖取材料，从邻近沟槽或口袋的牙齿表面刮去斑块，并从龈沟或口袋吸收血液和其它悬浮的组分。 由于小尺寸，狭窄的形状，木质的组成，柔软度和柔软度，口袋清洁剂可最大限度地减少形成龈沟或口袋的分离的牙龈组织的变形和磨损。 尽管其体积小巧，形状狭窄，但潮湿的口袋清洁剂通常保持足够的强度来清洁几个痰液和口袋。 口袋清洁剂的吸收木材还提供用于输送药物的载体，作为用于治疗口腔较深凹陷内的感染的补体。
