Abstract

Recently many studies to reduce the noise of dental hand piece which generate inevitably mechanical sound to offend to the ear of a patient have been spotlighted. Generally, methods of adding a sound absorbing material inside the exhaust valve, air pump of machine or automobile are widely reported as optimal way to reduce the mechanical noise. In this paper we studied a new UV laser aided manufacturing of micro-porous structure of EPP substrate and applied dental hand piece to improve the efficiency of sound absorption. A lot of micro-sized pores were fabricated with UV laser processing on the surface of sliced EPP substrate. From fundamental experiments, more high-performance of micro-porous EPP substrate has finally demonstrated for sound-absorbing structure of the micro muffler inside dental hand piece, which actually has the excellent potential to apply a lot of potable machine.

최근에는 환자의 귀에 거슬리는 소음을 발생시키는 치과 용 핸드 피스의 소음을 줄이기 위한 많은 연구가 주목 받고 있습니다. 일반적으로 배기 밸브, 기계 또는 자동차의 공기 펌프 내부에 흡음재를 추가하는 방법이 기계적 소음을 줄이는 최적의 방법으로 널리 보고됩니다. 본 논문에서는 EPP 기판의 미세 다공성 구조를 이용한 새로운 UV 레이저 가공 및 흡음 효율 향상을 위한 치과 용 핸드 피스의 제조 방법을 연구 하였다. 슬라이스 된 EPP 기판의 표면에 UV 레이저 가공으로 다수의 미세 크기 기공이 만들어졌다. 본 실험에서 다양한 휴대용 기계에 적용할 수 있는 우수한 잠재력을 가진 마이크로 다공성 EPP 기판은 치과 용 핸드 피스 내부의 마이크로 머플러의 흡음 구조에 적용되었고 핸드피스의 소음을 측정한 결과 적용전의 핸드피스에 비해 약 4dB의 흡음효과를 나타내었다.
