ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a microbe and cell function control device which controls promotion and suppress of microbes (virus, leaven or the like) and cells taken or cultured from human, aminals, birds, fish, plants and the like). The invention further relates to a microbial ecology detector device which detects an amount of the microbes or cells and detects whether the microbes or cells are present or not, and particularly suited to detecting germs in plaque of human teeth.
2. Description of Prior Art
There has been hardly known about a control device which is capable of precisely controlling functional promotion and suppress of particular microbes and cells.
Take the germs in the mouth, for example, the device has been hardly introduced which is capable of detecting germs in human mouth to specify them presented in the mouth so as to suppress the functions of the germs, and avoid the decay of the teeth as preventive and diagnostic measures of pathogenic gingivitis. Even when the germs causing dental caries in the mouth is identified, there has been rarely so far presented a technique to suppress the microbial functions with the specified germs only as a target. With the use of the germicide agents, there is a possibility to sterilize other useful germs for hygienic purposese. When using the germicide agents strong enough to terminate all the germs in the mouth, it would adversely affects on the human health.
In the meanwhile, it has been introduced to breed a sample on agar so as to observe them after an elapse of a predetermined time period when detecting the presence or absence of the microbial ecology such as germs and cells.
A dental device has been desired to be introduced which enables to a stable detection when detecting the presence or absence of the microbial ecology. Because the individual observations often differ the resultant detection depending on the individual experience with much uncertainty to be left in the prior art visual observation.
Without a tool or device of detecting the germs in the dental plaque, it has been difficult to appropriately diagnose the individual patients in the dental clinic.
Therefore, it is an object of the invention to provide a microbe and cell function control device which is capable of precisely controlling function of particular microbes and cells.
It is another object of the invention to provide a microbial ecology detector device which is capable of detecting an amount of the microbes, cells or substances generated from the microbes or cells and detecting the presence or absence thereof.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to one aspect of the invention, a primary electromagnetic wave radiation member radiates electromagnetic wave on microbes and cells within a predetermined wave length range thereof. An electromagnetic wave measuring member measures an intensity of a predetermined range of the electromagnetic wave permeated or reflected from the microbes and cells. An absorption intensity distinction member determines wavelength the microbes and cells absorb based on the intensity of the electromagnetic wave measured by the electromagnetic wave measuring member. A secondary electromagnetic wave radiation member radiates the electromagnetic wave absorbed by the absorption intensity distinction member toward the microbes and cells. As a result, it effectuates the functional suppression of the specified microbes and cells so as to control the functional promotion and suppression of the specified microbes.
According to another aspect of the invention, the electromagnetic wave radiation device radiates the electromagnetic wave absorbed by microbes and cells on said microbe and cells. This makes it possible to control the functional promotion and suppression of the specified microbes.
According to another aspect of the invention, a primary electromagnetic wave radiation member radiates electromagnetic wave on microbes and cells within a predetermined wave length ran thereof. An electromagnetic wave measuring member measures an intensity of a predetermined range of the electromagnetic wave permeated or reflected from the microbes and cells. An absorption intensity distinction member determines wavelength that the microbes and cells absorb based on the intensity of the electromagnetic wave measured by the electromagnetic wave measuring member. An electromagnetic wave absorption medium is administered to the microbes and cells so as to absorp the same wavelength of the electromagnetic wave determined by the absorption intensity distinction member. As a result, it effectuates the functional promotion and suppression of the specified microbes and cells so as to control the functional promotion and suppression of the specified microbes.
The electromagnetic wave absorption medium is to absorbe the predetermined wavelength of the electromagnetic wave. It is possible to reduce the toxicity of the wave absorption medium so as to neutralize the influence on human body.
