A method and apparatus for the concurrent treatment of multiple oral diseases and defects while promoting general oral hygiene utilizing electricity are provided for non-human animals. Electrodes are used to deliver an electrical current to the gingival tissues of a mouth in order to achieve a number of therapeutic, prophylactic, and regenerative benefits. These benefits include killing oral microbes, increasing oral vasodilation, reducing oral biofilm, improving oral blood circulation, reversing oral bone resorption, promoting oral osteogenesis, treating gum recession, and fostering gingival regeneration. Other benefits include the treatment of gingivitis, periodontitis, and oral malodor, and other systemic diseases correlated with oral pathogens.

A gauge system for measuring underbite and overbite in ruminants includes a set of elongated generally S-shaped underbite gauge members and an underbite-overbite gauge member of unitary construction, each having an elongated handle portion configured to be gripped in the hand of a user, a first curved portion formed at one end of the handle portion and a second curved portion formed at the opposed end thereof, extending in vertically opposed relation to one another. The first and second curved portions of the underbite gauges and the first curved portion of the underbite-overbite gauge terminate in an underbite measuring tip of different thicknesses for measuring an underbite condition. The second curved portion of the underbite-overbite gauge has a flat rectangular overbite measuring tip that extends forward a distance from the second curved portion and is provided with a metric scale for measuring an overbite condition.

The present application pertains to a customized orthotic mouthpiece for horses and methods associated with creating and using the customized orthotic mouthpieces. These custom mouthpieces, as opposed to the typical bits generally used, do not restrict or impede movement or position of the horse's tongue. Furthermore, the custom mouthpieces are able to increase the flow of oxygen for the horse to consume compared to typical bits used, thereby enhancing the ability of the horse to function. These custom mouthpieces will prove useful when the horse is involved in competition, training, and recovery. In particular, improvements to the horse's respiratory, physiological, and neurological performance can be seen, especially when the horse is active for long periods of time due to the increased flow of oxygen.

A transparent toilet brush container of three circles stacked one on the other. A crystal transparent handle, followed by a flat surface on the bottom of the handle that sits on top of the container. A button is attached to each side of the toilet brush stick for the user to press to eject the brush head. The soap/air freshener-like substance sits in the middle of the bristles on the toilet brush. Once the user inserts the brush head in water the dense substances produce soap.

A two phase system for administering a dose of an active to an animal having a liquid aqueous phase and a liquid oil phase, wherein the liquid oil phase has a dosage of at least one active, at least one oil and at least one surfactant, and the liquid oil phase has a density less than about 1.0 g/mL. The system is administered in an individual drinking container, such as a water bucket or water dish. The surfactant is non-water soluble and has an HLB of less than about 6.0. The oil phase adheres to tongue and mouth tissue of the pet or livestock that consumes it from the water bucket or water dish.

A system and method for non-invasive reconstruction of an entire object-specific or person-specific teeth row from just a set of photographs of the mouth region of an object (e.g., an animal) or a person (e.g., an actor or a patient) are provided. A teeth statistic model defining individual teeth in a teeth row can be developed. The teeth statistical model can jointly describe shape and pose variations per tooth, and as well as placement of the individual teeth in the teeth row. In some embodiments, the teeth statistic model can be trained using teeth information from 3D scan data of different sample subjects. The 3D scan data can be used to establish a database of teeth of various shapes and poses. Geometry information regarding the individual teeth can be extracted from the 3D scan data. The teeth statistic model can be trained using the geometry information regarding the individual teeth.
