[PConline News] According to the Nikkei Shimbun reported on February 5th, a team consisting of the professors from the Department of Dentistry at the University of Okayama, Japan, and others from the province of Megokoshi has successfully developed the "artificial tongue." According to reports, the role of this "artificial tongue" is to help patients with tongue removal or voice difficulties due to tongue cancer recover clear pronunciation. According to the research team's introduction, the development of an "artificial tongue" such as a functional movable device to simulate the function of the tongue is the first time in the world.

The research and development achievements of the “artificial tongue” are a great joy for those patients who cannot speak or have difficulty in speech due to diseases or accidents in life. According to the Japanese Society of Cancer Therapy, in Japan in 1975 only 2,100 people were diagnosed with oral cancer in the country. By 2005, the data had soared to more than three times, reaching about 6,900 people. In addition to cancer, there are many patients who have lost their tongue due to traffic accidents or work injuries.

According to the Japanese research team, this "artificial tongue" is a resin material used for dental treatment. Professor Ye Mu said: "The artificial tongue uses the current dental clinical materials and is simple to make. I hope to go to all of Japan's medical treatment. The organization provides this technology to help more people.” During the production process, special customization is made according to the shape of the patient's teeth and mouth, making it a suitable artificial tongue suitable for different patients. When humans are vocalizing, they need to put their tongues on the oral cavity and rely on this action to complete the process of vocalization. When the tongue is removed, it is impossible to touch the upper jaw of the mouth and cause difficulty in speaking or even sound. According to this feature, the Japanese research team will mainly customize the artificial tongue of a suitable patient by using a wire to firmly attach it to the patient's molar, and then the patient can use the remaining tongue base to move the artificial tongue up and down to achieve its Re-contact with the upper jaw of the oral cavity, thus achieving a miracle of the patient's vocalization. In addition, in addition to the use of resin, the research team also used a filler called PAP to increase the thickness of the palate, which makes it easier for the artificial tongue to come into contact with the palate, and makes the patient's voice easier. .
