A method of manufacturing a dental prophy angle with a wiper assembly is described. The prophy angle comprises a neck section and the neck section has an outer surface. The method comprises the steps of manufacturing a dental prophy angle, manufacturing a wiper assembly by molding a base, the base having an undersurface, the undersurface configured to match the outer surface of the neck section, molding a shield, the shield assembly comprising a carriage and a wiper, attaching the base to the shield assembly, and attaching the undersurface to the outer surface.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of medical appliances, and provides a dental handpiece and a head thereof, and a root canal preparation machine. The head of the dental handpiece comprises a head housing; a movement cavity is provided in the head housing; a rotatable movement and a driving gear are provided in the movement cavity; the driving gear is sleeved on one end of the movement, and the movement can move along the axial direction of the driving gear; a reciprocating driving mechanism is further provided in the movement cavity, and the reciprocating driving mechanism is used for driving the movement to perform reciprocating movement along its own axis. Thus, when the dental handpiece of the present disclosure is used for root canal treatment, a root canal file is driven to perform reciprocating movement along its own axis by means of the reciprocating driving mechanism, and manual lifting is no longer required, thereby improving the treatment efficiency of root canal enlargement, reducing the requirements for the patient's cavity space, also facilitating the operation of root canal enlargement treatment, and improving the patient's experience of treatment.

An electric toothbrush includes a grip portion, a brush portion, and a joint arrangement for connecting the two portions. The joint arrangement has an upper cylinder portion and a lower cylinder portion, with an axis of the upper cylinder portion being inclined a predetermined angle with respect to an axis of the lower cylinder portion. The grip portion is connected to the lower cylinder portion and the brush portion is connected to the upper cylinder portion, so that the grip portion and the brush portion are inclined by the predetermined angle.
