An elongated prophy paste container has a length at least twice the width to receive a prophy cup therein and facilitate the loading of prophy paste thereon for use in a prophy operation. The elongated container can be formed with optional detent members at the opposing ends of the container to engage indents in a corresponding support member to retain the container in engagement with the support member during use of the container. The support member can be configured to mount onto a dental instrument or to incorporate a stand that can sit on a flat surface. The configuration of the support member for mounting on a dental instrument can have a dual receiver configuration to engage dental instruments with different diameters. The configuration of the support member incorporating a stand can be formed with an elongated neck to permit positioning thereof between the fingers of the dental hygienist.

The invention relates to a flexible electrode (8) made of a metal base material (10) with a coating (18) made of polycrystalline doped electrically conductive diamond and an intermediate layer (20) between the base material (10) and the coating (18), wherein the base material (10) is in the form of a needle or wire, wherein at least one circumferential, circular or spiral groove (12) is formed in the base material (10) about a longitudinal axis (17) of the base material (10).

An aqueous cleansing composition for dental prosthetics and orthodontic devices, containing hydrogen peroxide, one or more carboxylic acids and one or more peracids, and methods for removing microorganisms and stains from dental prosthetics and other orthodontic devices using the cleansing compositions.

Assisted dental cleaning device which allows brushing of both sides of the teeth and both arches simultaneously, in an assisted manner for all those unable to do it for themselves, not only due to age, but also due to disability or lack of motor skills, so that brushing is done by another person ensuring proper brushing all of the teeth of the person who is unable to do it for themselves. The device also allows for self-brushing where a reduction of cleaning time and an easier and more convenient brushing process of the two dental arches is sought. This is a device with specific application for the brushing of teeth for children, elderly or handicapped with disabilities or lack of upper extremities. It is also very useful for cleaning animals and pets' teeth.

A motion tracking element for an oral hygiene element such as a toothbrush. The motion tracking element may be detachably coupled to the oral hygiene element. The motion tracking element may include a body having an outer surface, a portion of the outer surface having a pattern that includes a plurality of indicators with a non-circular shape. The indicators may be flush with and form part of the outer surface. A plurality of visual markers may be located on the outer surface, each of the visual markers having a circular shape. The plurality of visual markers may be formed integrally with the body. A method for estimating a pose of an oral hygiene device may be achieved using the motion tracking element.

A mechanical rotational-swinging adapter is provided to transfer a continuous rotational input from a driving tool into back-and-forth swinging output via a slotted cam structure. When the rotational-swinging adapter is installed between the nosecone and the air motor of a conventional dental handpiece, the nosecone outputs the back-and-forth swinging movement for dental work such as root canal or prophylaxis treatments.
