This present invention relates to a dental care timer that informs both children and adults to brush their teeth for a minimum period of time, preferably two minutes. The dental care timer is preferably comprised of a stylish housing with a mounting or supporting structure. The front of the housing features a display for a countdown timer, a power button, and a speaker. An internal battery powers the dental care timer and its various components, and the timer device is capable of communicating with a user's smart device, such as a smart phone, smart watch, tablet or the like. Upon the conclusion of an appropriate brushing session, the dental care timer will emit an audible signal to the user.

This present invention relates to a bacteria spread prevention tool designed to be used during oral procedures and is used to prevent the smear or spread of bacteria and viruses. The bacteria spread prevention tool comprises a slightly curved polycarbonic device having an interior suction mechanism. The prevention tool can be placed 4 to 6 inches from the oral cavity of a user, thereby forming a barrier between the user's mouth and the dental care professional, in order to prevent the spread of bacteria, or other pathogens via the oral cavity during dental health checkups or dental procedures. The transparent polycarbonic device provides access to the oral cavity while blocking the spread of aerosols and pathogens.

This invention relates to improved methods and apparatus for recording and simulating the condylar movement of an individual. This invention also provides a dental articulator which is designed to simulate the jaw or condylar movements of a patient. This instrument enables a dentist to obtain the necessary diagnostic information for treatment of the occlusal irregularities, such as malocclusion, and the fabrication of dental cast or “dentures”.

An air treatment device having a flexible air hose, duct or gooseneck member. The air hose, duct or gooseneck member permits an inlet end thereof to be positioned in proximity to a patient so that a negative pressure can be created around the patient so that air can sucked or vacuumed into the system whereupon it is treated as the air flows through the system.

Feedback data useful in prosthodontic procedures associated with the intra oral cavity is provided. First, a 3D numerical model of the target zone in the intra oral cavity is provided, and this is manipulated so as to extract particular data that may be useful in a particular procedure, for example data relating to the finish line or to the shape and size of a preparation. The relationship between this data and the procedure is then determined, for example the clearance between the preparation and the intended crown. Feedback data, indicative of this relationship, is then generated, for example whether the preparation geometry is adequate for the particular type of prosthesis.

The present invention relates to a finger mountable flexible dental hand-piece device. In one embodiment the hand piece device comprises of: a head portion and a body portion, wherein the head portion and the body portion are engaged by a flexible joint to provide flexible movement for the head portion. The head portion defines a head enclosed in a head shell, where the head shell is accompanied by a first finger band which is stipulated on the top of the head shell. The body portion has a first end and a second end; the first end of the body portion is to engage with the head portion, wherein there is a second finger band which is stipulated on the top of the body portion.

In some embodiments, an apparatus comprises a housing, an emitter, and an electronic circuit. The housing is configured to fit within a patient's mouth. The emitter is at least partially encased within the housing. The emitter is configured to emit an effective amount of light to the alveolar soft tissue when the housing is disposed within the mouth. The electronic circuit is operatively coupled to the emitter. The electronic circuit is configured to control the emitter when the housing is disposed within the mouth and the apparatus is in use during orthodontic treatment. The apparatus and its use for regulating tooth movement or maintaining or improving oral tissue health are disclosed herein.
