A dental instrument for shaping an occlusal surface of a dental restoration includes a handle portion and an end member. The end member includes an elongated portion and a working end portion. The elongated portion is coupled with the handle portion and extends to the working end portion. The working end portion includes a concave surface shaped to be interfaced with a dental restoration material to shape the dental restoration material to form a convex occlusal surface of the dental restoration.

A device for generating singlet oxygen is provided. The device has elongated posts extending from a surface, the lateral sides of which have particles with a sensitizer that converts triplet oxygen to single oxygen upon exposure to light. An optical fiber conveys light to the sensitizer and a gas supply tube conveys oxygen to the sensitizer. The device is configured to keep the sensitizer from contacting external fluids, such as saliva.

Ablation probe tips (108, 148, 320, 360) and physical and virtual stents (110) for use in tooth bud ablation procedures that result in tooth agenesis as well as tooth bud ablation methods are described herein.

A system and method for forming a sterile dental pack is disclosed. The method includes preparing a first wrap and a second wrap; arranging a plurality of dental disposable supplies on the first wrap; and wrapping the plurality of dental disposable supplies within the first wrap and the second wrap to form an airtight container. Also disclosed is a sterile dental pack dispensing system. The sterile dental pack dispensing system may include a storage container with an opening, the storage container being configured to store a wrapped sterile dental pack; an output configured to receive the wrapped sterile dental pack from the storage container; and a fiber optic indicator configured to cause the wrapped sterile dental pack to move from the storage container to the output through the opening.

The present invention relates to a drill guide (1) for use in the dental field. It comprises a grip (5) and at least two guide sleeves (10) arranged on the grip, the grip (5) having a top face (25) and an underside (30) and the underside (30) of the grip being intended to bear at least partially on a drill jig. The at least two guide sleeves (10) protrude from the underside (30) of the grip, and at least one limit stop (55), which is an axial continuation of one of the at least two guide sleeves (10), protrudes from the top face (25) of the grip.
