20210212798 · 2021-07-15 ·

A handle system for supporting a tool defining a tool axis during the performance of dental procedures comprises a handle defining a handle axis, a rotation sleeve, a head assembly and a gear set comprising first and second gear portions. The rotation sleeve supports the first gear portion. The head assembly supports the second gear portion. The handle supports the rotation sleeve for rotation relative to the handle. The handle supports the head assembly such that the first gear portion engages the second gear portion. With the head assembly supported by the handle, the head assembly engages the tool to support the tool such that the tool axis extends at a first angle relative to the handle axis and rotation of the rotation sleeve relative to the handle causes axial rotation of the tool about the tool axis.

MEDICAL DENTAL GRINDING APPARATUS

A medical dental grinding apparatus comprises an apparatus body, wherein an air pipeline, a clamping mechanism, and a grinding mechanism are provided in the apparatus body; the air pipeline includes an air inlet pipeline, an air outlet pipeline, and a U-shaped connection pipeline; a silencer is connected to an upper port of the air outlet pipeline; a plane where the air pipeline is located is perpendicular to a plane where the clamping mechanism is located, and the grinding mechanism is provided below the air pipeline. According to the present invention, the grinding mechanism is driven by high-pressure air in the air pipeline to operate, so that a hidden danger of electric leakage caused by using an electric apparatus in a fragile oral environment is avoided; and a steel wire is fixed by means of the clamping mechanism, so that the grinding safety is ensured.
