A dental instrument is configured to reduce user discomfort and increase control over the surgical edge of the instrument. The invention further discloses a dental instrument having a replaceable blade

An electric toothbrush for pets includes a housing configured to have a button unit, a power-supply unit configured to supply power, a toothbrush head connected to the housing, a vibration unit configured to vibrate the toothbrush head using the supplied power, and a MCU configured to control the vibration unit. The MCU controls the vibration unit to vibrate with a first vibration pattern, based on an input signal generated when a button included in the button unit is selected.

The present invention relates to methods for detecting and quantifying the plaque levels and/or lesions in companion animals, and the use of such information during trials of oral health products. The methods disclosed enable the trialling of companion animals for a shorter period of time, without the need for long and expensive trials on oral health products to be conducted. The methods described are conducted on conscious pet animals.

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.

Methods and apparatuses for treating a root canal in a tooth or hard and/or soft tissue within a tooth and surrounding tissues by pulsing a laser light into a reservoir, preferably after introducing liquid fluid into the reservoir, so as to disintegrate, separate, or otherwise neutralize pulp, plaque, calculus, and/or bacteria within and adjacent the fluid reservoir without elevating the temperature of any of the dentin, tooth, bones, gums, other soft tissues, other hard tissues, and any other adjacent tissue more than about 5 C.

Provided are methods and compositions relating to a dental composition more specifically to prepare the damaged dentin of the tooth for animals and pets such as canine, feline and members of the taxonomic family Equidae prior to repair. The dental compositions include a bioactive glass and a non-aqueous solvent comprising an alcohol, anti-inflammatory and anti-pain reliever.

Disclosed is a toothbrush for cleaning teeth of a pet animal. The toothbrush of the present invention is an appropriate device for cleaning a dog's teeth by providing adequate lighting via the same toothbrush during the cleaning process. The lighting provides a halo-illumination lighting effect such that a 360-degree light encircles the tooth during cleaning. The use of halo-illumination allows a user to see top, bottom, and both sides of the dog's mouth in a particular region, thus providing the user sufficient information as to whether they are effectively performing teeth cleaning of the dog.
