A dental handpiece system includes a dental handpiece for operating a dental burr and providing a stream of water to the dental burr for cooling a tooth being acted upon by the dental burr. The dental handpiece further includes a flush water port for providing a flush water stream that is directed away from the dental burr to allow the dentist to flush a work site in a patient's mouth. The dental handpiece can also include an air outlet for providing a stream of air that is also not directed to the dental burr and that can be used to dry other dental instruments as well as work sites in the patient's mouth.

A zero-suckback device for a disposable high-speed turbine dental drill handpiece includes two units respectively installed at two ends of the head of the handpiece. On one side of the handpiece head where a drill pin is installed, one unit consists of an elastic shaft sealing casing which is centrally embedded with a central framework made of hard substances and a non-elastic shaft sealing casing, and a lip portion of the elastic shaft sealing casing fits a wind wheel shaft with a tapered end. On the cover side of the handpiece head and between a button housing and a head housing, an O-shaped sealing ring is installed, and a one-way ball valve is installed at the center of the button housing. Suckback prevention measures are adopted at both sides of the handpiece head, so matters sucked back can be controlled to be a very low level, nearly zero.

The invention relates to a capsule for producing a composition, particularly for dental care, comprising an enclosure provided with at least two compartments, the number of compartments corresponding to the number of components to be mixed, and at least one wall for isolating the components, said wall being provided to isolate the components from each other in storage mode, and to allow fluidic communication between the compartments in mixing mode, said capsule also comprising a shank for removable attachment to a hand-held part.

A dental handpiece includes a head portion supporting a turbine for a removable rotating dental tool, and a handle portion having an internal cavity. One or more conduits extend at least partially through the internal cavity toward the head portion. At least one of the conduits is a drive fluid tube delivering drive fluid to the head portion for rotating the turbine. A wireless communication device within the internal cavity is attached to at least one of the conduits. At least a section of the handle portion surrounding the wireless communication device is formed of a dielectric material. The wireless communication device is configured to wirelessly communicate with an external reader or writer and store data related to at identification, use, and/or maintenance of the handpiece. An electrically inert substrate material encapsulates the wireless communication device, which is electrically isolated from other components of the handpiece.

The present invention relates to a device and a method for measuring osseous quality.

The present invention relates to a device and a method for measuring osseous quality.

An apparatus for endodontic treatment, comprising: a nozzle connected to a fluid source comprising: a tip small enough to be inserted into a pulp chamber of a tooth; an inner geometry which forms a flow parameters including non-axial flow direction of nozzle fluid flowing through the inner geometry such that discharge fluid discharged from the inner geometry increase rotation of root canal fluid within a root canal sufficiently to remove tissue from the root canal.

The invention relates to a dental preparation instrument that includes a tool that rotates in an alternately reversible manner. The preparation instrument has a drive for the tool. The drive provides a continuous fully rotational motion, and a gearing is arranged before the tool. Said gearing converts the continuous fully rotational motion of the drive into an alternately reversing rotational motion, which is continuous as viewed over several reversals.
