A disposable dental tool includes a disposable handpiece and a bit mount and dismount device. The disposable handpiece includes an elongated handle body, a drill head provided at one end of the handle body, and a through holding channel for holding a drill bit thereat. The bit mount and dismount device includes a handheld actuator having a thumb pusher surface and an opposed bit pusher surface, and a pusher bit protruded from the bit pusher surface. The thumb pusher surface of the handheld actuator is held to push the bit pusher surface thereof toward the drill head for mounting the drill bit at the disposable handpiece by pushing the drill bit through the through holding channel and for dismounting the drill bit at the disposable handpiece by pushing the drill bit out of the through holding channel via the pusher bit.

A surgical drill type cutting tool includes a shank and an active portion extending in the extension of the shank, with chip areas extending along the active portion, and a ring surrounding a part of the active portion, an inner surface of the ring engaging the active portion without closing off the chip areas, allowing irrigation fluid to provides useful irrigation over most of the length of the active portion of the surgical drill bit.

A wall portion of a dental handpiece accommodates a cam pin 111 with a cam hole 21 or a cam groove 211 designed so that the size of the cam hole 21 or the cam groove 211 is larger than the size of the cam pin 111 in each of the axial direction and the circumferential direction of a vibration cylinder 20. Therefore, a rotating member 110 is rotationally driven, and a vibrating force acts on the vibration cylinder 20 in the axial direction through the cam pin 111. In this manner, the vibration cylinder 20 vibrates or reciprocates in the axial direction with respect to a second cylindrical member 12, and vibrates or reciprocates in the circumferential direction. In addition, a needle portion 42 protruding from a through-hole 202 of the vibration cylinder 20 vibrates while being bent.

A coupling device for releasably connecting a handpiece to another component. One of a first coupling element and a second coupling element, is designed as a coupling cavity, into which a coupling protrusion on the other coupling element can be inserted. A positioning element is disposed on the first coupling element or the second coupling element and can be inserted into a first recess on the other coupling element to position the two coupling elements in a defined angular position about their common axis. A light source disposed in a second recess on the first or second coupling element can be coupled to an optical fiber on the other coupling element. A transfer element disposed on the first or second coupling element and inserted into a third recess on the other coupling element is configured to transfer data, signals and/or energy between the first and second coupling elements.

An electric motor that enables to promote a further downsizing and performance enhancement, and a dental device that includes the electric motor. A brushless slotless electric motor 10 includes: a stator 3 that includes a stator core 301 and a plurality of coils 31 to 33 disposed inside of the stator core 301; a rotor 2 that includes a shaft 21, the rotor 2 being rotated around the shaft 21 with respect to the stator 3; and a medium pathway 40 through which a medium passes, the medium being supplied for actualizing a function of a dental handpiece 9A to which the electric motor 10 is applied. The plurality of coils 31 to 33 are adjacent to each other in a rotation direction of the rotor 2 so as not to lap mutually. The medium pathway 40 is disposed between the adjacent coils 31 to 33.
