A water tank used for a dental water jet device includes a box and a water pipe. The box has a top and a bottom opposite to each other. An upper side of the bottom facing the top has a water guiding surface and a water collecting area. The water guiding surface extends obliquely downward from an edge of the upper side to the water collecting area. The water pipe extends from the water collecting area to pass through the top, and has a water outlet above the top. A dental water jet device having the water tank is also provided.

Periodontal disorders such as disorders associated with a dental implant are treated with a laser where an average laser power along with other laser parameters provide particular settings for the treatment, the treatment including one or more of creating a gingival trough or flap around the implant, ablating or denaturing infected tissue via photothermolysis, lasing a pocket around the affected implant, and compressing marginal tissues against the implant.

Disclosed herein is a dental device for delivering fluid continuously while activated in an endodontic application. The dental device includes a hollow needle having a tip end and a connector portion; and a handle. One end of the handle is configured to be affixed to the connector portion of the hollow needle. The opposite end of the handle is capable of being attached to an endodontic handpiece or a sonic agitator for the activation. The connector portion includes at least one tube connector that is an integral part of the connector portion of the hollow needle or a plurality of openings on the connector portion to accommodate the hollow needle to a connector. The connector is a modular fluid delivery connector which is removable from the needle such that it can be reused.

In one embodiment, a charging connector for charging devices, such as oral health devices, is disclosed. The charging connector may include a cable configured to connect to a power source and a plug in electrical communication with the cable and configured to connect to a device. The plug includes a plug body, a first conductive contact in electrical communication with the cable, a second conductive contact in electrical communication with the cable, a first magnetic element aligned with the first conductive contact and having a first polarity, and a second magnetic element aligned with the second conductive contact and having a second polarity that is different from the first polarity.

The present disclosure provides an oral irrigator having water spray switching function, which includes a body, a nozzle and a path switching mechanism. The nozzle is provided with a first path and a second path, and the path switching mechanism is configured to communicate one of the first path and the second path with an outlet end of a piston assembly inside the body of the oral irrigator, and disconnect the other one of the first path and the second path from the outlet end of the piston assembly. The nozzle has a water outlet communicating with the first path and the second path. Water sprays from the water outlet are different when the first path or the second path is communicated with the outlet end of the piston assembly inside the body. The oral irrigator of the present disclosure can realize water spray switching without changing the nozzle.

A nozzle unit (100) for oral healthcare is provided which comprises at least one nozzle orifice (5). The nozzle unit (100) is designed to be used in an oral irrigator and has at least one constructional feature configured to contribute to realizing a predetermined orientation of a flow (1) of irrigation fluid with respect to a subjects respective teeth (2, 3) and periodontal pockets when placed with the at least one nozzle orifice (5) in the vicinity of the subjects respective teeth (2, 3) at the position of interdental interfaces (4), namely an orientation from the at least one nozzle orifice (5) towards the periodontal pockets at a pocket inflow angle in a range of 10° to 50° and from the at least one nozzle orifice (5) towards the surface (7) of the subjects respective teeth (2, 3) at a surface impact angle in a range of 0° to 50°.

An air/water dental syringe includes a hand-piece, a coupler, and a tip that is releasably coupled with the hand-piece. The coupler includes a collar that releasably engages the hand-piece, and a cap that releasably engages the collar. The cap includes a body having a first end, a second end, and a cavity located between the first end and the second end, such that when the cap engages the collar, the collar extends into the cavity through the first end. The cap also includes a receiver located at the second end of the body. The tip includes a tube, and a post mounted to the tube. The tube has a first end that extends extend through the cap and the collar of the coupler and releasably engages the hand-piece, and a second end operable to dispense air/water from the tip. The post extends away from the first end of the tube and is sized and configured to extend into the cap's receiver to prevent the tip from rotating relative to the hand-piece.

An oral irrigator including a reservoir, a handle, a housing, a bezel positioned at least partially within and secured to the housing, and an actuator operably coupled to the housing and movable relative thereto is disclosed. The actuator includes a control shaft extending from the interior surface of the face and positioned inwards from an outer perimeter of front wall. The control shaft extends through an aperture in the housing and movement of a gripping body causes the control shaft to directly actuate a switch or a pressure assembly positioned within the housing. The actuator also includes an augmentation fluid positioned between the bezel and a portion of the actuator. The augmentation fluid modifies a frictional relationship between the bezel and the actuator to provide a predefined resistance force between the actuator and the bezel as the actuator is rotated relative to the bezel.

A pump assembly for a dental cleaning appliance includes a positive displacement pump including a fluid chamber and a fluid displacement member which is moveable in a linear direction relative to the fluid chamber, and a drive for actuating the pump to draw fluid into the fluid chamber through a fluid inlet. An energy storage device converts kinetic energy generated during actuation of the pump by the drive into potential energy, and stores the potential energy. A cam is connected to the drive for rotation relative to the fluid displacement member. The cam has a ramp extending about the fluid displacement member which is engaged by a cam follower connected to the fluid displacement member. As the cam moves relative to the fluid displacement member, the cam follower moves along the ramp to actuate the pump to draw fluid into the fluid chamber, and beyond the end of the ramp to enable the energy storage device to use the stored potential energy to actuate the pump to urge fluid from the fluid chamber.

A waterproof oral irrigator including an oral irrigator housing which is provided with a sliding recess on an outer wall thereof; a push switch slidably fitted with the sliding recess and provided with a magnetic element; and a control circuit board arranged inside the oral irrigator housing and being provided with a plurality of Hall elements. A plurality of Hall elements are sequentially disposed at intervals along a sliding direction of a push switch. When the push switch slides along the sliding recess, the magnetic element can be driven to move to positions sensed by the plurality of Hall elements in sequence. Since the outer wall of the oral irrigator housing is provided with the sliding recess, and the sliding recess is not communicated with the interior of the oral irrigator, so that the waterproof performance of the oral irrigator can be greatly improved.
