DIGITAL MEASUREMENT APPARATUS AND DIGITAL MEASUREMENT METHOD USING THE SAME
Disclosed is a digital measurement apparatus including a holding unit on which a measurement object to be measured is placed; and a measurement unit for measuring the measurement object by comparing an image of the measurement object placed on the holding unit with a preset reference value, and providing a reference for adjusting the length of a new measurement object based on a measured value of the measurement object. With this configuration, regardless of photographing conditions, by performing calibration using a set reference value, the accuracy of a measured value may be improved.
DENTAL FILE
Provided is a dental file exhibiting high performance and having high flexibility and excellent root canal followability. A dental file (10) of the present invention includes a working portion (11) in a spiral shape. An outer edge of the sectional shape of the working portion (11) at any position includes a single arc (40) and three or more lines (41, 42, 43). One end of the arc (40) forms a first cutting blade. The three or more lines (41, 42, 43) are positioned inside a virtual circle (50) partially including the arc (40). The length of the arc (40) may be equal to or greater than 1/12 and equal to or less than ⅓ of the circumferential length of the virtual circle (50), or a second cutting blade (16) may be further provided inside the virtual circle (50).

ENDODONTIC INSTRUMENT
An endodontic file, for manual or motor driven use by an endodontist, includes a color-coded handle, a shank, and a serrated cutting edge. The cutting edge of the endodontic file is side-cutting with pyramidal teeth and ends in a pointed tip. The endodontic file is used manually inside the root canal in an “up and down” axially aligned motion and these pyramidal teeth will provide a ripping action. A second type of endodontic file has a curved cross section and a sharpened tip. with pyramidal teeth lining the edges of curved blade section. A third type of endodontic file has a flat debriding side which tapers to a point; with a series of adjacent 3-D pyramids emerging from this surface for removing loose material or in urging already loosened material from a root canal.

ROTATION TOOL
The invention aims to provide a rotation tool enabling work without obstructing a view of an operator and facilitating fine-adjustment for the tool. A rotation tool includes a flexible shaft including a tool portion at one end and a grip portion at the other end; and a cylindrical exterior body including curved portion on at least a part thereof, wherein a spiral protrusion is formed on at least a part of the shaft and a spiral groove is formed on at least a part of the curved portion, and the shaft is configured to be movable inside the exterior body by screwing the spiral protrusion and the spiral groove to each other.
ROOT CANAL ACTIVATOR AND THE METHOD OF ACTIVATION
This invention is about a root canal activator and the activation method. It belongs to technical field of root canal treatment equipment. The eccentric wheel is connected with a oscillatory needle, which is composed of a needle head, a spherical joint and a connecting rod. The connecting rod is connected through a spherical joint to the ball-shaped slot of the eccentric wheel and therefore, a spherical pair is formulated to allow for a degree of freedom. There is a head cover made of soft rubber mounted at the top end of the outer shell. The oscillatory needle is mounted inside the soft rubber cover through a cylindrical joint, which has formulated a cylindrical pair and allows for five degrees of freedom in total.
INSTRUMENT HANDLE WITH COMPONENT HOLDER
An instrument handle is provided. The instrument handle includes an elongated structure extending between a first end and a second end, the first end extending to a functional head component or is configured to couple to a removable functional head component, and the elongated structure is interrupted by a holding assembly having a through-hole configured to receive a solid object. The holding assembly can have one or more connectors configured to securably retain the solid object therein. A dental mirror including the instrument handle is also provided.
INSTRUMENT FOR DRILLING DENTAL ROOT CANALS
An endodontic instrument that includes a tapered rod, the rod including an active portion and a distal end, the active portion defining an envelope having a longitudinal axis that coincides with an axis of rotation of the instrument.
